Description
Just so you guys know, JTM stands for "Just a Thought in the Morning." It'll be a prefix to any new comics that I'll make containing similar themes to the one above.
---
Ahhh! I'm never doing something like this ever again! This comic page is long and cost me too much time to make. I'm usually someone who likes to paint in one sitting because if I stop, I'm probably not gonna come back to it. But I wanted this comic finished (it's been almost 2 years since that Pinkie comic I made and no, it didn't take me 2 years to make this one, that would be CRAZY inefficient!). I just started like 4 or 5 days ago and I knew it would take me a while but man I hated that.
*Side note:
A bunch of people keep taking from the paragraph above that I'm not gonna be doing this anymore. What I meant by the rant above is that I'm not gonna set myself up to render out a comic that is long and heavy on the lighting and mood panel by panel. I'm not that good. But I know I'm stubborn so I might do it anyway.
Anyway, enough of that rant. Above is a concept about Applejack and her... problem. What if she couldn't make babies? I felt she needed more depth because she's kinda flat in the show so I gave her this! Now she has more reason to be so family oriented.
So enjoy the comic guys, or don't. It all depends on what you choose to take in ^_^
If any of you guys haven't seen the last one I made, click HERE to read it.
I have a couple other of these kind of comics in production. I'll probably make one for each of the Mane 6 so stay tuned (hopefully not 2 years worth of waiting this time around, XD)
---
And oh, the story was gonna take a different turn before what you've just read. It would have transpired differently but with the same theme and had to do with oranges as you can see here in the conceptual painting of it: The Orange in the Basket
And there was even one where it involved a daisy.
I might post those for you guys to see, or not. Depends whether I'll be lazy to do so. But it was hard to pinpoint how the story would come together in both those so I ditched them.

Dude. DUDE. This and the Pinkie one. Marvelous. You're excellent at doing the mood and feelings work, both visually and in your writing. Very well done. You may not do it often, but WHEN YOU DO...!

I love this comic...If you want to or you dont have to....but is it possible for you to make a sequel or is it a one time thing?

Ruffu In reply to Bluedog1414 [2014-02-19 07:32:28 +0000 UTC]
These comics are usually a one time thing but I might make a sequel to this one. Enough people have asked if I was going to do one so I might.

You have earned yourself a watch! I discovered your comic today through Scribbler!

Wonderful story! I really like the concept of Applejack facing some sort of trial of not being able to bear children, but I do believe that Applejack should get a miracle.
Doctors can be wrong. If you do indeed do a follow up to this story, make sure its uplifting.
You out did yourself here!

Hehe, thanks ^_^ If you like this one, then stay tuned because there's gonna be a Rarity comic coming out some time in the future.
I dunno though. I like conflict and I like tragic endings but I guess we'll see.

Oh, I'm not making that kind of comic. What I meant was that I'm making a comic like this one just for Rarity with Rarity themes in it. No AJ.

Hi there. I hope you don't mind, but I liked this comic so much I've put together a dubbed version on YouTube:

Nice! I didn't know someone dubbed over my comic. I remember someone doing the same thing a while ago to another comic I had. It feels a little bit more mood when it has sound added to it.
Thanks for linking me
