Description
Poor Applejack
Well this is weird, when I was drawing this picture I had no Idea there was this "Applejack appreciation day coming up!
And this is Applejack as a filly, so It'll explain the blank flank and seemingly huge hat
But anyways, my theory is that both of AJ, Big Mac & Applebloom's parents are dead. However, I don't think they both died at the same time. I think the father might have been killed in an accident on the farm, and the mother got terribly ill. It's really sad to think about, but I think it also makes Applejack's character more interesting. I also think her hat belonged to her father.

Not many people can ever dare to pull off something as beautiful, spiritual, and lonely as a desert nighttime view. Usually, when they do, they end up failing. This, however, is possibly one of the most elusive and panorama picture from that that I have ever seen!
There is something very magical about this photograph. Being the star lite sky, the Joshua tree, and Applejack. Applejack has the most emotionally disconsolate sad expression I've ever really seen on her. It's so heart touching and saddening to see her like that. And the Joshua tree under her alone looks like a protector as well as a reminder of death. A perfect eerie mood setter.
I live only 30 miles from Joshua Tree National Park. This place looks almost exactly like this and for that reason i love it even more because there is a personal feel from this picture to me. Amazing job at this work! Just- WOW~! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t… " width="40" height="18" alt="

I agree with the others on this, its quite sad and it shows right here. I like how all the shadowing actually fits the mood of it, even though its at night. Hell, even the star makes me smile. Its as if to say "Applejack, I'm always watching out for you, even when I'm gone." Though, I can't particularly understand why it seems more like a desert area than an area near ponyville or the forest. (Maybe that's just me)Anyway, this was supposed to be the cannon idea, where Apple Jack's parents died, but the creators thought that was too sad for a theme. (Even though they left out more details about the other ponies)So, for them, their parents go away a lot, so they might as well have died.

Critique requested? I cant give you a critique! This is amazing, well done, well thought out, everything is just amazing! There is nothing wrong, it is all so brilliant! The shading is perfect, the emotion is real, the sky is clear, the word Papa can be clearly read. Even the mountains have shading! There is nothing I, an amateur at best, could say. Amazing, 5 star material. I'm sure you know how amazing this is, after all, you made it, but I am in aw. There is no way I could draw something like that, this is just too amazing!

I think your theory makes perfect sense and that AJ's mom was expecting Apple Bloom when her dad died.

Read "To Fix You" and then "What If?"
You'll see why I hate Applejack's father more than I knew you could hate any one thing.

My theory is that her father was a farmer, but was later drafted into the military where he was killed in...some....big war....with.....um........gryphons...or something.
Her mom, on the other hoof, died only minutes after Apple Bloom's birth.

The location and the Joshua tree actually work out really well with something that I had in mind.

This is a very nice picture. You've certainly captured the emotion of Applejack losing her father, and you're theory is an interesting one... one that seems to make sense. Also, nice perspective and lighting~

I think this is a... I don't know, I'm bad with words. Anyways, I guess I think that it's a really... nice way to solve the Applejack parent mystery. A little sad, yes, but still my favourite so far.
Oh, and good job on the drawing, too. It's beautiful.

Wait a second, did you seriously copy/paste that same bush all over the background?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah
After I found out I could make my own brush tool I figured, I would try it out for this pic.

As a guy who grew up in JT and worked at the National Park, I wholeheartedly approve of this.

......I think this is a really sad picture,and honestly one of the best involving Applejack and her parents,whether dead or alive.
For some odd reason,I have the song 'Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For' in my head.I think it's the title <_<.

I don't think you need a Critique to tell you how amazing this is...

OUCH! Right in the feels.
Seriously, though, this is a VERY emotional image. I love the style as well. It makes me want to jump into the picture and give poor ol' AJ a great big hug.

Beautiful work, love the scenery

I don't think they would mark graves with a cross in Equestria, but I still love the picture.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The problem was, I couldn't think of any other way to show that someone died, so I just went with the cross
Glad you loved the picture
