Description 3rd in the series, AJ (:

I'm not fully satisfied with the color scheme, but it'll have to do. Could've been worse. I do like the pose though.

Chinese ink & watercolors
Time taken: about 4 hours

The red splotches are well-placed, and look a bit different from each other.

I only discovered this because I searched. "chinese applejack" hoping to find art of the pony Applejack in some sort of fancy Asian-y attire.

I'm glad you like it, and it's funny how you found this one

Awesome character, or awesome character? The shading of the mane and tail is great! The darker tones give it an almost 3D look As for the colours, the bright purple-red in the background clashes a little with the orange-red of the apples, so perhaps using the same single red for the background and the apples would create a better sense of unity? I'm only guessing here because I'm far from an expert on colour theory! Either way, this is a very imaginative series and you've captured each pony's character very well in their pictures ^^

Thank you!
I had such a problem figuring out the color schemes. ): I had lists! I never make lists of my drawings or creative process D: I like these colors the least, or maybe Twilight's the least.

But I'm glad you like the rest of it!

I can't say I'm surprised, I do the same thing for complicated themes. If I don't write it down, I don't remember it >< Always end up with a scribbled-on pile of post-it notes when I'm done...

I do indeed like the rest of it! The pose is determined and very true to Applejack, yet her expression is wonderfully soft, just like her personality

Yeah, I too have to write things down. XD I'd forget everything! Long live lists. (my flatmate jokes about my lists often..)

Applejack's personality is really fun. She's a bit of a tomboy like RD, but not as much and secretly a very motherly pony (:

All hail the lists! You know you're in trouble when you need lists to keep track of all your lists But that's what walls and blu-tack are for

I love Applejack, which surprised me since I expected Rainbow to be my favourite. I find Rainbow can be arrogant to the point of annoying, whereas Applejack doesn't boast, she just buckles down and gets things done. But that's MLP for you, full of surprises!

Oh yes definitely!

You've got a favorite pony whose not normally a fav too. (: I don't know what it is with these ponies, but it's real fun. RD can really be a bit too arrogant. Though she will always choose her friends over anything. But AJ is just sweet (:

Psh, anyone who dislikes Applejack is a fool RD is just over the top sometimes, but then she gets called on it and that's always refreshing to see; there are so many characters that are as arrogant as RD that get away with it because they're the creator's favourite. On the flip side, RD's very loyal and very brave. Funny how a cartoon aimed at little kids has so much for older audiences to enjoy too

mlp has a really good character design and they're really something to learn from. You're right, it's funny that she's called on her arrogance. She knows that she has those tendencies too.

ohmygod I drunk so much last night. It's still in my system. And still I REALLY don't want to make a mistake in the English language. hurr. Gotta work in half an hour or so..
