Queen Chrysalis Wings and Crown

Description

One of Chrysalis' defining features is her wings. They are buglike and a shiny blue that has never been seen with any pony. Unfortunately, the odd shape means I couldn't use the usual circle covered in pantyhose wing type. I had to cut the fabric and hot glue it to the wire base, which meant many burns and much swearing.

The wings are made from material with a 14 gauge wire base. Because this wing design is wire based, the wire wings connected in the middle and had to be covered for aesthetic reasons. I decided that it would be most fitting to mimic Chrysalis' back plates, which shift from blue to green. I layered several colors of tulle over a base green material, which was then covered with a light golden tulle to smooth everything out. The tulle didn't gradient as well as I would have liked, but...eh.

The crown is made from hand sewn leather. It has two snaps on the bottom that connects to a plate, so the wig can be snapped into place through a wig. Since the horn is already mounted on a headband, I wanted to make things as easy as possible. I like the rough look that it provides. Suiting for a villain :3
