Description

Yesterday I posted drawings of battleships and some drawings of Applejack in a sailor uniform. Those drawings are for a commission for coldsilverd. Its a drawing of AJ as a US battleship in a pony version of something from the Kantai Collection. One of the inspirations for this picture is series of pieces that ncmares did.
 
However I am doing some of own research on the matter. One question was whether AJ would have the original lattice/cage mast the American dreadnoughts/battleships in the early 20th century. Later on those ships were refitted with tripod masts when the cage masts were found lacking. So I tried incorporating both in possible designs. The client has decided to go with the tripod mast so now we’ll proceed with the finished piece.
 
I hope you like what you see. Please help make more art like this possible by supporting me at Patreon

We never should have let AJ watch Kantai Collection.
 
It could be worse. It could have been Applebloom. Who would have tried to build an actual battleship.

How does she avoid lighting her tail on fire whem she fires those guns astern? Or her face when firing to the fore, for that matter…
