Description
OK, OK, this will be the last Applejack page for a while. I promise to do another character page after this (Hint, it's gonna be Fluttershy).This page says all of the stuff that I had floating around in my mind when I decided to make Applejack argue with Twilight Sparkle. I hope that it explains why I had things this way.
This page took a lot longer than I expected as I had other things on, and because I was having difficulty concentrating on it for various reasons. Applejack running in Frame 1 took much longer than I expected, as it's a different pose from all of the other ones that I've done, and I'm still not happy with it. It's not a very good pose at all.
You might also notice that I've put Applejack in shadow for half of the comic. As her mood gets more depressed she goes further and into the shadow of the outhouse, until she's completely in shadow. she doesn't come out of the shadow until Frame 13, which is where she makes up with Twilight, and it's a happy comic again. Lots of hugs, please.

This page was created in Inkscape and Photoshop. Most of the foreground characters were scratch drawn for this page, or for previous pages.
I've used gameguy001 's Sweet-Apple-Acres as a background for all frames ([link] ). Though I modified it slightly as I wanted to put a shadow in for the fence.
Applejack's Cutie Mark was created by BlackGryph0n ([link] ).
The pose in Frame 8, 9, 10 and 11 is based on a vector of Rarity drawn by RedPandaPony [link] .
The pose from Frame 13 is based on StratTremolo's [link]

Yeah, for Fluttershy will be no difference at all.
You know that I'm drawing a mlp comic too? And as it's in your in mine too there's a, can we call it, a species swap. Twilight and Applejack are pegasus, Fluttershy and Pinkie are unicorns, Rainbow and Rarity earth ponies. However I'm writing it in italian and for now on I'm too lazy to translate.
Just one more thing for you: GO ON!

I think Fluttershy would like to be an Earth pony

Very well handled, even if it's fictional profiling, it's completely believable and you work around with it well. I also like how parts of AJ stick outside the frames, while the big black bars allow for easy reading and flow, throwing an occasional tail or pony "tail" over the barriers gives it more to look at (not saying it's an eyesore, but it does give it more life).

Glad that you like it.
Before I did this, I wrote a Graphic novel that had some action sequences in it with fighter planes. I wasn't very good with layouts so everything got very blocky (lots of square panels). I used to overlap the wings or the tails of the planes to give it a more dynamic feeling, and I liked how it looked, so I tried it out her, and helps, too.

Sorry, not for another couple of weeks.
I need to create a completely new model for Fluttershy, and do a load of expressions and poses. I also need to do something about my backgrounds. I've been recycling the same one over and over again for too long now.

It will take me a while to do page 9 as I've got to do a whole lot more new vectors, rather than just re-using the ones that I've already drawn.
I'm not very good at this so it takes me a while.

I'm glad the two reconciled like this.
And good point on describing Fluttershy that way. She's probably the least pegasus-like pegasus in the whole show. Given the chance. she'd probably spend her entire life without flying once.

She needs to fly to reach baby birdies in their nests.

True. But given who it is we're talking about, I would not be surprised if some kindly creature were to just come along and do it for her.

... but then she wouldn't be able to see the cute little birdies in their nests ...
That would make Fluttershy cry.

Then Celestia invented the ladder, and the ponies and the pegasi were united in worldwide peace.
And that's how Equestria was made!

Alternatively, Cloudsdale was flooded with Earth Ponies (using Zebra spells to allow them to walk on clouds), who were trying to escape from Celestia's rule. This triggered greater conflicts.
