A new Children of the Mane Six artwork? HUZZAH!


Here we have Bismarck and Bucky, sons of Applejack :iconapplejack3plz:, spending time with their uncle, Big Macintosh :iconbigmacintoshplz:. Family is very important to AJ and makes sure her boys are close to her big brother.

And here's my take on the MLP future: Though Applejack was not the first of the Mane Six to get married, she was the first to have children. Bismarck and Bucky are both the oldest members of the new Mane Seven and the new Cutie Mark Crusaders. Bismarck has grown up to be a rodeo cowboy and works hard to remain competitive and be the best in Equestria. Bucky, though not knowing his skill yet, has talent in writing lyrics.



Design choices: Like my other artworks of the mothers, I've given both Applejack and Big Macintosh updates to their looks. Big Macintosh seems to be the kind of stallion who changes very little over the years. I really can, however, see him grow a goatee as an older adult. Over time he has grown a little more talkative but is still a quiet listener by nature. Applejack has changed even more. Eventually she cut the long hair in favor of a shorter style which she found useful for work. Plus, it also looks more motherlike.



Other stuffs: This was my first artwork on my new program, Sketchbook Pro 6, and I love it! I look forward to improving my work as time goes on!

And that's it! Thank you guys so much for all your amazing support and comments! I really appreciate it!

I enjoy all your mother/children pics. AJ is my fave - I can relate to her the most being a country girl - and I truly think you've done her and Big Macintosh justice.

I don't know about you, Shrapnel, but Bismark and Bucky's designs just seem to scream "CaraJack". Just saying.

You know, I never got the whole "CaraJack" ship, to be honest. Granted, almost no ships make any sense, but the only time we see any interaction of the two, AJ is scolding him indirectly while she is talking to Big Macintosh. I guess that's enough proof.

I designed the boys on Apple family colors. Their autumn colors and green eyes are family traits Also, (side note) Bucky's coat is an off-shade of Big Macintosh's hooves. All of my children of the Mane Six were either inspired by their moms' designs or family designs (like Orion's similarity to his grandfather).

I guess that it's just because of that he's like the only stallion that she's ever had contact with who would make sense to pair her with, if she wasn't related to Braeburn, i would totally ship them, but since they're not, i ship Little StrongheartxBraeburn and ApplejackxCaramel.

I don't get the shipping either. So I guess that makes two of us.
