Arguably the last installment in the "action-pose" series goes to our favorite background pony Applejack.

I was sort of figuring out whether I should go for the shotgun or her swinging with a rope, the latter being more relevant to platformers. I decided to go with the shotgun, because people really seem to like it, it also makes for a nice pose.

Mind that I didn't put any real effort in the actual shotgun, so any gun enthusiasts who decide to bitch about it; fuck off, to any who don't, thank you.

Aside from the feet, and her right hand, I'm pretty pleased with this.

Also, did this during the Livestream last Sunday, if you missed it, you really missed out. The co-host were quite hilarious and we had an overall good time. Follow me on Twitter to stay up-to-date on stream times.

Yes, Applejack is part of the main cast, thatsthejoke.jpg

Those feet are good. Better than anything I could do, anyway :D. What seems a bit weird to me though, is her right shin/calf. It seems a little bit too thin to me. But again, that just might be my lack of understanding of perspective acting up.

By the way, you told me last year I should start to post my terrible doodles here. Well, still don't have money for a tablet, but I got my hands on a scanner, so maybe I will. But they're really terrible.

There is some overlap, but I do see your point. As for the feet, I don't know, they just don't sit well with me, they seem slightly unfeminine and I'm just not feeling it.

Wow, I don't remember giving such advice, but I do agree with my former self; post sketches, no matter how bad they are. DeviantART offers unlimited storage and a place to get feedback, that, and you have nothing to lose in terms of reputation, use that to your advantage.

Mane six, not background. More like... co-star amongst a large cast. Or... supporting? Meh. She is no background pony for sure though.

Regardless, this is awesome. She would have a shotgun.

I enjoy the shotgun reference (because Im a hick and what hick doesnt have a shotgun) but the pose is wrong. If you look at it (unless she is sitting on her boot but that would still create less of a surface area) when she fires it all that energy will pretty much topple her over. She should be on one knee with her elbow resting on her other knee for more stability. Sorry I went on kind of a rant. Anyway love the picture but for me the pose is kinda wrong.

It's actually very appreciated, for one; I live in the Netherlands where guns are considered legendary items from another realm (unless you're a criminal of some sort) and two; it actually refers to the actual pose, opposed to the shotgun for which I explicitly stated that I just did whatever.

While I do have some hands-on experience using an actual shotgun, which ironically was because some Pennsylvanian sheriff needed to get rid of some excess ammo, it was over ten years ago. I tried a wide variety of guns, and the shotgun struck me as not particularly taxing on the user. Still, I'll admit that I was more focused on creating a cool pose and making sure it was balanced than making it technically accurate. If this piece has thought me one thing, it's that technical accuracy is very important when it comes to guns, because people can't help but notice it.
