I just thought it would be the most appropriate pose to show the malicious joy she’s having. ¯*(ツ)*/¯
 
If you want to know how I came up with this picture in the first place, the idea came from “The Red Portfolio”, a painting by Jehan-Georges Vibert. I really loved the smug and self-confident expression of the cardinal depicted on it and the overall theme of the painting, and, well, the rest is history =)

Is your name Kent Brockman by any chance? ;)

Well, I, for one, am in favor of our new bug queen overlord

Looks like the coup d’état was successful. But remember Chrysalis, “you can make a throne of bayonets, but you can’t sit on it for long”.

Hey, let a guy have his shipping fantasy.
 
You didnt do the “draw me like one of your french girls” pose by accident did you? :P ;)

@Twilestia  
Ever heard of schadenfreude? =)  
@Brokedownandmadeone was correct in his assumption about grimdark context, I just wanted to make it subtle :D

@Brokedownandmadeone  
Shes also wearing celestias “shoes”. Hence my “pretending to be celestia” comment.

@Twilestia  
I noticed Tia’s and Luna’s crowns are on the mantle though. So either those are just replicas, or something more happened, and it ain’t a non-grimdark kind.
 
EDIT: Great picture by the way. Real nice fine art.

French Changeling

The amount of details here is… god damn. Yes!

Even more perfect :3

Very unnecessary fix.

damn this is like a renaissance painting

Sexy hooves.

Well, I didn’t know that Diego Velázquez was into My Little Pony. Really nice “Baroque” art.

Wow, now that’s some top-notch stuff!

@Twilestia  
I am in favor of the latter.

Amazing
 
Either she took Celestias place and is pretending to be her…
 
Or shes in a secret romantic relationship with her and wants Celestia to draw her like one of her prench girls.

Glorious! <3
