I had a lot of fun with this one, lots of great requests!

Not intentional, though it could certainly serve symbolic purposes, like Chrysalis wrecking her own body thanks to her arrogance. I should have made it more clear that the holes that appear can be fully repaired. This happens over time, and can be helped along by general healthy practices and restraining one’s transformations to simpler, smaller changes for a while. The amount of punishment a changeling’s body can go through before they start to suffer differs from changeling to changeling, just like unicorns differ in how much magic they can cast before running out of energy. Changelings do have it a bit more brutal than ponies, but egh, I like em that way. They’re more intense creatures to start off with so it feels right to give them an appropriate trade-off.
That seems a bit… tragic. Shapeshifting is their racial thing. It would be like flying being bad for a Pegasus’s health, or casting spells beyond basic levitation bad for a Unicorn’s health.
I do understand the symbolism of the holes, and I am a big Bleach fan myself.
The holes in a changeling’s body are entirely based on how often that particular changeling uses their transformation powers. The more often they use it and the more extreme the transformations, the quicker their “base form” deteriorates. Changeling Queens, like Chrysalis and Thorax, are not exempt from this, but it takes, far, far more punishment for their bodies to start suffering in the same way, so they appear without those imperfections. We’ll assume Chrysalis in the show was reckless and didn’t take care of herself in this regard.

Her horn is less “jagged” amd more “wavy”* compared to the show, and her mane is short and doesn’t have any holes in it… pretty sure the canonical mane has logic-defying holes in it, and it DEFINITELY looks ragged. The most obvious interpritation of Changelings in the show is that they are “incomplete” creatures who need Love to fill in their emptiness even after reforming, (and pre-reform are a sucking void that returns nothing, a black-hole for positive regard). Their visual appearance symbolically represents that. Your Chrysalis is merely weird, rather than “tragic” let alone “horrific”.
*The interior curves might be circular, but even if they are it is with sharp edges where they holes they suggest meet the surface that would form if you loosely “shrinkwrapped” the horn( IE not sucking most of the air out). It isn’t a softness like Baymax has outside his armor, in its connotations it is a HOLE.

Hm, a bit of an odd problem to bring up, but I guess I never draw Chrysalis with her wierd little fungal crown thingy, so it’s understandable here since you can only see her head. In hindsight her horn is also a bit smaller than I usually draw it.
She is a bit “off model”… in as much as that term can apply to a shapeshifter.

Correct, hence why Chrysalis
@kapitantorrenton
looks so smug as she walks away.
Changeling slime, guessing from the tags
