Updates will return next Tuesday! I’m loathe to delay updates, but a series of unforeseen inconveniences including a touch of minor illness has been continually pushing out my work time this week. Sorry to turn a one update break into a four update break, but thanks all for being patient!

is the comic going to be permanently in colour now, or was this just a once-off thing for the beginning of Part 2?

three-apples:

Three Apples is in color now

Will it be longer between updates now that its going to be in color?

Theoretically, no. I still intend to update Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday.

I may take more frequent short breaks (ie. skipping 1-3 update days), but that has more to do with the pages’ increased complexity and my own life than it does with the color.

Protip: All tumblrs have RSS automatically, just add /rss to the homepage url. I follow way more tumblrs on RSS than I do actually on tumblr.

three-apples:

here’s an answer for that person

Could you please activate/make accessible the RSS feed? I want to keep up with this comic, but I don't use Tumblr's 'follow' feature. (Yes I have an account, as you can see, but I find RSS feeds far more convenient, because it is a centralised method of tracking more than just Tumblr.

three-apples:

I have never used an RSS feed, but does this sound like it solves your problem?

Would you mind if I covered this comic? I'll send you a link do the finished product when I'm done. :3

three-apples:

I’m gathering that by cover you mean a voice-acting cover, in which case sure! I’m fine with any sort of work based on the comic as long as A. credit is given and B. whatever’s made isn’t mean-spirited or otherwise unsavory

Has the focus of the story now shifted away from the Apple Family three for good? Every once in a while in part 1 we got these very telling moments where AJ has some bought of self-identity doubts hearkening back to the beginning, which were so subtly well done, but the story seems to have taken off in something of a new direction.

I’m not totally sure what you’re basing the idea of the story moving in a “new direction” after Part I on, since Part I is the only part you’ve seen yet. The key points of the story have been set since the beginning, so there’s not much in the way of new directions or dropped plots going on.

I also don’t know who you mean by the “Apple Family three” since there are four main Apple Family characters on the show and only two have appeared in Three Apples- one of whom was absent for most of Part I and is back in the narrative now.

in short: no I don’t think so

Didn't the group bring one of those crystals to the North? How did the CMC get a hold of it, then?

There 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?

The 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.

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.
