New addition for my Season 6 Episode Art!
Season 6, Episode 16: The Times They Are a Changeling
For more info on my episode art: MLP:FIM Season 5 Episode Art Streams

This was quite the interesting episode. A subject that might’ve been too deep to fully cover in one episode, and is rather more suited for a longer strung series of episodes. But it’s nice to touch upon the idea of the changelings again. Besides that they showed some more about them as well, what they can change into or not, more specifically.

It’s interesting to think about a single changeling being different, and what that means for all the others as well. How different is he, how exceptional is Thorax? Is he a mutation on the changeling, or a more common possibility. Maybe secretly all rocks are changeling all along. What would that mean for Maud and her pet rock?!

But the underlying topic can also be a serious or sensitive one. Being judged for the actions of others. Trying to prove your innocence, instead of being considered so in the first place. Although the ending, everyone did seem a bit cheerful all the sudden. Then again, two princesses and Spike the brave did vouch for him…

Artwise, today, though… I wasn’t feeling it, sadface. So I derped more than usual, simplified the scene, and then realised I might’ve just gone with a different complex rather than simplifying it haha. So I ended up with this little bugger.

Anyhow, hope y’all still enjoy! I haven’t been doing that well lately, this might slightly show that, but I hope it’s still passable.

Approx time: 5-6 hours?
