Description
The second entry to my first digital painting series, "The Standard Model", which will depict the Mane 6 showcasing the element they represent as well as their own inherit magic in some way. Being living embodiment of the Elements of Harmony has inhanced the Mane 6's magical prowess so that it surpasses that of the average pony when they aren’t directly using them, and have their magical power increase significantly when in direct use of the Elements (to deity-like levels to be specific). Just in case it’s needed, here’s the link to my headcanon on magical elements and their subcategories.
This time it's of our trusty, good ol' country cowmare, Applejack!
Before I get any questions:
-No, she isn't male here
-No, she doesn't have boobs here
If you're wondering about what sort of anthro style I'm using here, it's basically semi-anthro. Anthro enough to be bipedal and have hands, but not so much to actually have a need for clothes. They're all also gonna lack noticeable boobs because none of them are expecting or lactating, so there's no need for anything all that prominent. o3o
One of the many things I'm always told was that I made my version of Applejack look "masculine", and at this point you'd think folks would catch on that it's intentional. Applejack, at least in my eyes, isn't the stereotypical female with nothin' but soft, supple curves (I avoid that stereotype when drawing anyway). She's a farmer, a hardworking one at that, one that works day and night and keeps herself in top shape. She's physically powerful and I want to depict that, and as such, I draw her the way I see it: heavy, muscular, and solid. Which also helps solidify my headcanon revolving her around her magic.
Applejack is obviously associated with the Earth element (look at the above link if you need more info on my headcanon of magic elements in general), and not just because she’s an earth pony. It’s because of her ability to grow luscious fruits and vegetables, especially apples, but it’s also because her advantage lies within brute strength paired with a level head. She has the geokinetic ability to manipulate the solid earth as she sees fit (if you’ve seen Avatar: The Last Air Bender or its sequel, it’s similar to earthbending). Applejack is a relatively powerful magic user; the amount of magic she has paired up with her discipline in magic use has allowed her to master the art of creating miniature earthquakes at will with a strong, magic-powered stomp of her hooves.
While the initial plan was to have the Mane 6 kinda floating in their given space, I decided Applejack would be more suited to be grounded. I went with darker colors for her to both represent the solidarity of earth as well as the harshness that is the truth. Honesty is neutral, and can be enlightening just as much as it can be hurtful. It's how you go about that honesty that makes the difference.

I think that's all I got for this one. Two down, four more to go! If this keeps up I may do "special editions" of the Standard Model series that will include the Princesses, Discord, Chrysalis, and maybe even Sombra to make it even. o3o
Anyway, feel more than free to ask me questions if you have any, and I hope you enjoy!
