Hello! My entry for the ‘Evildoers’ contest organized by EStories , and for the lack of a better idea (but with an inspiration spark) I drew Chrysalis, which was something I had only done once or twice, and I already rarely draw canon ponies outside of fandom projects, so this was a nice change.
 
I’m trying something a bit different with this piece. Usually when I do paintings, the rendering is super smooth, and you can barely see any brushstrokes, but that wasn’t the original purpose. What I originally wanted was that you could see the brushstrokes I wanted lots of texture, and because I rendered so much, I did have a lot of texture over all; skin, whool, fur, hair, wood, they all had the exact same texture, and that bothered me (plus the super smooth rendering take me INCREDIBLY LONG)
 
With this here piece I tried to loosen up the brushstrokes and get more texture, and I certainly had a bit more fun with it than I would’ve if I had chosen to do the smooth rendering, and even if this had a monochromatic pallet, I didn’t feel bored quite as much.
 
But, I still am unsure if I should stick to this looser style or keep up with the super nice rendering.
