A what?

Looks like a nariti OC

I know it’s tacky to do, but I’ve GOTTA copy & paste what I said on Skype to you about it, Peanut Butter:
 

@Kappe  
Nope. In the original design she kinda did, but I decided I didn’t like it. Also, not sure how to show that she has a carapace other than to add a little bit of reflective shine here and there.

@Parallel Black  
It’s kind of hard to tell she has a carapace. Does she actually have that chitin-y belly band/back shell thingie going on?

@Parallel Black  
i see. i’m sorry i got the wrong idea.

@Argent_Page  
Ah, I see what you mean. Nah, that wasn’t really my intention (btw, it’s a she). Sparkfree is more hybrid than either changeling or pony. For the insectoid traits, she still has a carapace instead of a coat of fur, except she’s gained a pony-like mane that blooms out of it. A big part of the hybridization aspect is in her magic, too. She can still transform (but never does because she doesn’t like the thought of changing her new appearance) but now has access to pony magic as well.

@Parallel Black  
well, it’s just, he doesn’t seem like a changeling at all.almost all the insectile traits, all the traits that distinguish us from ponies at all, have kinda been taken away. implying that an “ascended” changeling is a changeling closer to being a pony is kinda insulting, it’s like you’re saying we’re not whole, that we’re inferior.

Yay! You did it! Thanks a lot, dude, it looks great ^^

How so?

He reminds me of invoker from dota 2

@Kappe  
i’m with you here… seems more like a punishment than an ascension.

It’s like… a changeling, but with almost all of the things that make them great taken away :(
