Description Welcome back kids and our due apologies to the delays . Well now that we've seen the chaotic side of the mane 6, let us take a look at the calmer side . And what better way than the most reasonable and level-headed one in the bunch . And I mean level-headed, because AJ is the hardest one to make insane or evil without making it forced (all evil or twisted versions are more sympathetic than malicious , especially Jappleack who starts off as a jerk then becomes more and more tragic ... thanks again to Mr Gilardi ) . Even at her most stubborn she knows when to quit and admit her faults. I know her expressions are not as broad or cartoonish as the others, but it's the point , it's how her personna works for me . As for the character traits she reminds of Scrooge Mc Duck as a kid (the kind hard-working Scroogey... before the grouchy ol' uncle Scrooge ) , Mickey Mouse for her determination and adventurous side ( I'll talk about the mouse another time but trust me, people who think Mickey is boring never read his comics ...and that's sad ) and Rogue (because of the physical strength and that southern accents are deeply ingrained genetically speaking XD ) .

I guess that's it for AJ , I hope you're enjoying this series of takes and in case you're wondering :
1) yes she's eating a pear (just because she buck apples does not mean she can't enjoy other fruits )
2) guess what's gonna happen to that plant >XD

Did AJ catch that venus fly trap because it didn't stop singing

Of the main cast I like Applejack the most.
Her southern accent and the "LetΒ΄s do it, partner" attitude really reminds me of Rogue during the 90Β΄s.
Plus she got an adorable family and a nice hat.

AJ is my favourite pony and you've done her a great justice here. I thank you, sir (or madame)!

Very nice sketches, I really like the humorous ones, and the facial expressions you make. The other cartoon character comparisons to Applejack's character at the top are a nice touch to.

I think my favorite one is Applejack defeating a venus fly piranha plant weed. Hehe

when I draw characters , I tend to inject them with my opinions on them . I can't draw them in Faust 's style it was a bit too hard for me (besides there were much better people at emulating and improving thta style ). So I went with these expressions , they mainly come from Clampett , Jones ,Friz , McKimson, Don Rosa and Carl Barks drawings and then everything depends on the character's personna ( Pinkie , for example, to me is a Clampett like character )

That's cool, all those people you mentioned were great cartoonists, and I can kinda see some of their influence on your style.

And yeah, Pinkie is definately like Clampett-like. (They even had a falling anvil in one episode as a "Loony Tunes" nod.)

Well of course you can hug me. I know a lot of people complain that she doesn't get much screentime but personally Quality > Quantity and the last round-up was a pretty good episode (not only her reasons were in character but you don't see her break or go nuts . And the ending with Pinkie and Rarity on the railroad was just hilarious , to me both of these along with Spike and Iron Will are the funniest !) AJ might be the most restrained , gregarious and normal character at the same time and it works!

Of course if you wanna see the others just ask ! I'll show the available ones
