"Hope on the rocks" (Applejack's Bar)

[Chevette 1,052]

As usual, I got the inspiration for this interesting drawing from a country song. This time, the song was Toby Kieth's "Hope on the rocks".

Basically we got Rainbow Dash sitting at a 1970's bar past closing time as Applejack cleans up the glasses. Pictures are worth 1,000 words, I'm sure anyone could stare at this and wonder many things about it.

 

Anyways, yeah I just drew it up in Microsoft Paint, it'd probably look much better drawn on paper or something but it was late & If i turned on some lights in my room to draw it, it'd disrupt the household.

 

 

Comments, questions & concerns are always looked highly upon. Feel free to share a opinion if you fee like it

 

If you stare at this and listen to the song, this picture tells a story.

This is awesome!

For some reason I love seeing ponies in bars and that picture covers the atmosphere really well. I also love RB and AJs gestures and position, it's so typical for a bar after closing hour and its kinda romantic

AJ does kind of make the perfect barkeeper type; always so level headed. I can't help but think Rainbow Dash's failure to join the Wonderbolts at this point is starting to get to her. Is it kind of strange that my favorite element in this shot is the "Applejack's" logo?

This is amazing! I love how you haven't just drawn a couple of ponies; you've drawn an entire scene. It looks amazing, and I love allthe detail you've put into this. Also, like somepony else said, my favourite part of this is the bar's logo.

Thank you for your compliments! It's much appreciated! Something about the bar scene drew me in to, & basically that was part of the inspiration for this.

Glad you like it!

Amazing, I love this picture. I love the atmosphere and just the overall style. It really sets a mood that is rather hard to describe. I mean obviously mellow, but it's more than that. I do say it's a really good drawing, and I like it a lot!

I thought the same when I was going through the ponies trying to find a good one to put behind the bar, no other pony fit as well as applejack did, & I have to say, the "Applejack's" logo is one of my favorite parts of this picture along with all the wine bottles.

I can see myself going into that kick ass place ask for a cool drink on a hot day, got to the jukebox and thow a bit in and select "Green Grass and High Tides".

 

Thanx for sharing amazing job =D

that really cool done well I say just a few touch ups all it need then perfect I dont think I can draw somthing like that at all

I really like how you added an entire scene to the ponies. It is a very well done image, as it sets the tone of a 1970's bar very well, nice job.

Thank you for your interest in my drawing! I appreciate it! 

I must have hit the nail on the head with this one if it's hard to describe, because that is what I was going for. I'm happy to see that many people including yourself get the tone of the picture.

Thanks again for the comment!

Wow, this actually looks like the local Dive :3 <3

you got a whole scenic background in perspective, and in paint? you people must use demon magic or something :/ i swanee.

nah i love it too,

 

 

Chris LeDoux's "Cadillac Ranch" always struck me as something the apple family would do hard apple cider anyone?

You did that...in PAINT?! That is amazing! I'm with mycarhasaMoustache, how'd you do this? Paint has always been such a pain to use, for me (albeit it's been since Windows XP since I last used it, and I'm on Mac now, maybe it's changed in recent years).

 

Keep it up!
