Didn't the group bring one of those crystals to the North? How did the CMC get a hold of it, then?
AnonymousThere are four shards; three main ones of equivalent size and one smaller one.

What possessed you to sudenly do this? You did, like 2 one-off comics. Have you been drawing in the interim at all?
AnonymousThe story just kind of formed in my head as one of those far-off projects that you think about but never actually follow through with.
I guess Season 3 is what got me to go for it, because when I saw parts of the canon change, I realized this wasn’t a project I could indefinitely put off for some later time because it depended on a certain interplay with the real show. It also provided a meaty personal project that would help me gain a little experience in comicking and storytelling in general. I don’t remember any big moment where I decided to “suddenly do this”, it just slowly became more real.
Your question suggests that you aren’t aware that I have a personal blog where I post bits of silly art fairly regularly. I also have more traditional art which I rarely post because it’s more personal and I’m not as confident presenting it, but it’s safe to say yes, I have drawn a little bit in the past year.
Here we are! Part I is totally wrapped! Thanks so much for your feedback and for just plain ol’ sticking around.
I have no specific date for the beginning of Part II set yet, but I would estimate mid to late January. It’s a longer break than I’d like, but unfortunately it takes some time!
In the meantime, I’m happy to field questions on this blog- but before you send a question please check the FAQ to make sure I haven’t answered it already!
Keep rockin’

Hi y’all- just a quick update; I don’t like making entirely non-comic posts, but the pages I told you would becoming Tuesday the 17th will probably have to be pushed to Wednesday the 18th- I don’t really want to move the date, but I’d much prefer to release the final pages as a set! Just a heads up.

Three Apples udates begin tomorrow at 11:00pm EST with the first three pages of Part I!
I’d like to thank all my followers so far for following based on just a handful of promotional images, and I hope you enjoy the actual comic as well- if you don’t, feel free at any time to leave any comments and suggestions in the inbox.
Is this gonna be an ask blog?
Nope- the whole Three Apples story is all set and it’s a straight shot from here to the end, so waiting for the right asks to facilitate it would just be kind of awkward.
You are free (and encouraged) to send feedback to me, but if you send messages to Applejack she will unfortunately not receive them.
Three Apples updates begin a week from today at 11pm EST! They’re sort of like this, except longer and in less ambiguous context.
Will we be able to donate to support the comic?
Three Apples costs $0 and some free time to produce. Save your cash for charity and/or Applejack merchandise
How's it going?
I’ll interpret this as “explain the current progress of Three Apples”, so for the sake of transparency I currently have:
Outlined the whole comic
Scripted Part 1, Part 2, and about half of Part 3
Sketched 39 pages
Produced 13 complete pages (Page 14 is sitting in SAI as we speak)When I’m free, I can sketch or ink between one and three pages per day, so I’d say it’s going well.
when all is said and done, is there some way you could release the comic in print format? i would buy the hell out of that (and i'm sure plenty of others would too)
You can print the pages out and put them in a binder if you’d like!
The page design of Three Apples is designed around display on the dashboard. I have no experience with printing and Three Apples was not designed for print, so I’d have to totally overhaul the pages and research how to print to get any sort of decent printing.
I’d also feel a little guilty selling a fan project that I did basically as Baby’s First Comic. I am aiming for quality and I’m proud of what I’ve produced so far, but every page I finish shows me something I still need to learn. The good news is, that theoretically means each page should be better than the last.
Why Applejack?
This will be easier to answer once the comic is published, but suffice to say I like Applejack and it’s no secret that she’s commonly overlooked.
