Applespike by johnjoseco

This goes out to all of my fellow Applespike shippers out there, especially , , and , as well as other artists who have made similar pieces, , , and . This is a picture of an older Spike helping Applejack on the farm, and her showing how much she appreciates him by giving him a peck on the cheek. 

I have always shipped this couple. Ever since Season One where Spike almost kissed Applejack and she called him "lover boy." I had been wanting to draw this for years, and after watching last month's episode, "Applejack's Day Off," I finally got the motivation I needed to do it. 

The original image was done by . Colors by me. 

This is an image that John Joseco drew clear back in 2011 (his signature is in the bottom right corner), and I have searched Deviantart almost relentlessly just trying to find the original picture, but I have only been able to find it here: derpibooru.org/15541?scope=scp…;

I am NOT taking credit for Mr. Joseco's work, NOR am I making a profit off of this. I just wanted to give color to a scene that reignited my passion for art. So thank you, Mr. Joseco. Thank you. 

With all due respect,
