Decided to sketch out the main trio!! Littlepip looks like she waited too much, LOL!!

a little sorry for my massive blackjack slander on my last art!!

"Chapter 33: Crusaders

Homage broke into a laugh. The mare threw her arms around me, hugging me so fiercely we both fell into the small lake that had formed on the roof.

I splashed her. She splashed back. The two of us lay there in the cold, pooling water, kicking waves and sprays at each other until I could swear we were wetter than the rain was.

“Give up?” she squealed. Absolutely not! My finishing move was to telekinetically grasp about a barrel full of the water, hovering it over her head. I pointed up with a hoof and got a most delightful squeak out of her before dropping the deluge onto my Homage.

“Okay, okay, I give up!” she cried out. Slowly, we both got to our hooves. Homage was shivering, dripping, her blue hair hanging straight down like a wet curtain. She was impossibly beautiful."

This will be an important character for my comic, soon I’ll share the notes I’ve made about this legion but before I’ll make illustrations of Riptade and the atoli tribe and subtribes for the mermay, keep watching 🗿👉

She has really nice teeth for a chem addicted giraffe lol

IMPORTANT CONFUSION APOLOGY FROM THE LAST PIECE:
I made a comment, saying that adding NSFW tag to a post makes my profile marked NSFW. This is wrong. It only works that way when I post to an NSFW community. If I tag a post with NSFW spoiler in SFW community, my profile still stays uncensored! Sorry for the confusion.

Anyhow, welcome to this piece 😃

This time, I used quite a different layer structure. It’s a little overengineered, but it works! It uses a bunch of Krita’s Clone and Erase layers. Clone layers are a unique feature of Krita, but I’m not so sure about the Erase blending mode. This is all required to have colored lineart. I made it so that lines are erased in the areas with more intense light. The downside of a complex layer structure is that given a pixel on an image, it’s hard to tell which layer contributes to it, and this increases the time to fix small mistakes, which I notice. I’m sure my approach is still not ideal, as I keep changing it literally every single time.

Also, I’ve noticed that Glory’s pose looks a bit stiff way too late. I saw it all the way through, but couldn’t name it exactly. I think she had a little more interesting expression on the sketch.

…And, I like how Google Translate roundtrips the title via Chinese to this:

"Such a romantic gaze from this mama horse 👀💕"

AppleButter was born into the Apple lineage. A bloodline synonymous with resilience, leadership, and sacrifice dating back to pre-war Equestria. His family being hoof deep in history.
The Apple name carries weight within the Rangers. His great great grandfather, Paladin Red Apple, was known for safeguarding critical infrastructure from raider and Enclave interference during the early days of the Wasteland’s collapse. His father, Scribe Golden Harvest, upheld that legacy with unwavering discipline, while his mother, Knight Sergeant Green Apple, became respected for her tactical planning and logistical coordination.
He trained and proved himself formally into the Steel Rangers and quickly distinguished himself in heavy weapons specialization and defensive fortification strategy. By age twenty five, he had earned the rank of Knight, serving under Star Paladin Ironclad Dawn in a unit assigned to defend critical pre war technological sites from raider encroachment.
Finally he would be deployed to one of his first official missions 
The mission itself seemed straightforward:

secure and hold an aging hydroelectric power facility a relic of pre war infrastructure rumored to contain salvageable energy cores and intact data banks.
Instead, it became a siege.
Raiders descended in overwhelming numbers, far more organized than anticipated. Communications were jammed. Reinforcements never came. The facility’s outer perimeter collapsed within hours.
AppleButter’s unit fortified the turbine chamber and held their ground.
One by one, Rangers fell.
A Knight crushed beneath collapsing catwalk debris.
Another cut down covering a breach in the coolant hall.
A scribe executed while attempting to preserve data archives.
The fighting stretched through the night smoke, flickering emergency lights, the deafening roar of failing generators echoing through steel corridors.

Finally it was only One knight and one paladin left. The two fought tooth and nail not for the objective…but for survival. They had finally managed to get outside of the power plant failing the mission, however the paladin was struck through one of his power armors joint causing him to bleed. 

He turned to butters and gave him one final order. 

“Retreat, I’ll hold them off.”
Reluctantly…he obeyed. Turning tail and running as the sounds of gunfire echoed throughout the wasteland before finally stopping……

What had happened was a raider got ahold of a flamer, using a pulse grenade to shut the paladins armor down temporarily before essentially cooking him inside his own armor becoming nothing but a darkened black hull of armor. To this day it can be found. Some calling it “The Paladins Rest” a reminder to Applebutter of his loss if not just a mentor, not just a leader, but somepony he considered a father.

To this day he still serves the rangers, not because he wants to. But because he believed it’s what his mentor would’ve wanted.
