'Reformed' Changeling Redesign

Now before the fact, if You like the new Changeling's design in the show then that's great and I'm glad you like them where I cannot. I'm just someone who has a passion for character design and wanted to show what I would have done if I had re-designed the reformed changelings.

Also these are NOT OCs, This artwork here got placed on a PonyBooru without my knowledge and a Lot of people seem to have mistaken these for Original Characters. Individually they are not developed characters, they are in the essence a proposed whole-species re-design to replace the ones we got in the show. The only one that is a character is the one on the far right that's a re-design of reformed Thorax, but otherwise No. These are not actual characters and I have no plans to make them actual characters.

I know for a fact I'm not the only one disappointed by the changeling's downright hideous and backwards and hypocritical redesign.

I felt like what happened to the changeling's design was very unfair to their old Design. So I wanted to come up with a redesign that was a happy compromise between the original and the "new" pastel design.

- I actually love the new eyes on the pastel changelings, it makes them look alive (except for the weird gradient shine on them so I didn't use that)
- I wanted to show that the Changelings can look "dark" and "good" So instead of being pure grey I made their carapaces a dark blue to help bring out their other colors
- The Pastel's wings are so overblown, I gave them a tweak of the original wings and made them look "prettier" without making them so outrageous
- I gave them "manes" because somehow their heads just had so much negative space, I wanted to show off what kind of finned webbing variations can be done
- I also wanted to show how colors can be used too, more solid and streamlined, there's no need for all the 10 color at once gradients. There's too many colors on the pastel versions, You can make them look much more visually appealing by using LESS colors than by using MORE.
- I also re-designed Thorax since he's now the new ruler of the changelings, he needs a new design just as much as any other changeling. I figured A deep forest green would be a good color for him.

I'm always open to comments and suggestions. Please let me know what you think!
