big-apple-pony:

I saw the opportunity to commission @atowncalledbedlam and was lucky enough to snag a spot. :D That’s another favorite artist to check of the list of commissioning Big Apples! He actually made three sketches and felt best working with the bottom, but all three are fantastic if you ask me. ^^ The first is fashioned after an Iron Giant movie poster, just in case you missed it. Thanks again, bud!

Yeah, I really wasn’t expecting a commission from the wonderful @ncmares and it was actually quite the challenge. Namesly, how do two characters of such differing size interact, and how do you frame them so they both fit comfortably in frame? As you can see, my first attempt had RD being too tiny (although referencing The Iron Giant was great fun) and my second attempt felt more like a condensed comic than a single moment, so they both got pushed aside (by me, that is.)

Then I struck upon the idea of AJ waking up Dash bright and early. Being a farm gal, she’s used to being up with the sun whilst I bet Das is quite the night owl. What made me think “Yes, this is the one” is Dashie’s expression. She’s me literally every morning.



“C’mon, Sugarcube, th’ sun’s been up fer five minutes now, y’all wanna sleep the ENTIRE day away?”

Many thanks for NC for the commission, and for being patient whilst I fought off a headcold in the meantime!
