Quick note first of all: AJ's hat wasn't originally my model, at least for now. It's a modified version of CreatorOfPony's AJ Hat, but I made quite a few modifications to its material, color, and shape to fit my model and to be a bit more show-accurate. I'll try to create my own model later down the road because I would highly prefer that my models are actually 100% created by me. The rest of AJ was all modeled by me.
Anyway, yeah, it's finally time I start working on other pony models! I chose Applejack first for a few reasons. For one, she is an Earth Pony just like Coloratura, who I used as a base. That made the first conversion I did easier. Her mane and tail was also pretty straight forward to model; I finished the mane in one night. And she also has a friend relationship with Coloratura, the model I have been using for months, so it would fit to have them side-by-side for a test render not only for comparison's sake, but also to tell a story.
And about the freckles…:
"I'll be honest, I actually forgot about them. I was too hyper-focused on getting the eyes, mane, and hat right… I'll get right on that. :V"
