My God, Rainbowdash, your hair! Your hair! What a pain in the-- oh right! Why does she have an ax on her butt? If you get the reference, good on you, if not...
Blame these people. [link]

Hooray for hand-drawn ponies! Screw you Photoshop, with your fancy, fancy, oh so pretty vectors! (God, I wish I had Photoshop... ;_; ) Anyway, enjoy the best pony, now made better due to axes!

Thank you!

Heh. Someone linked this pic to me once, and we somehow got discussing making it the other kind of "axe". This pic came out of all that: i.imgur.com/HpfAO.png

I have to say, that axe makes one wicked looking electric guitar

Jesness Featured By Owner Dec 20, 2013 Student Traditional Artist

I can't play the guitar but I wouldn't mind owning one like that.

"I shoulda gone with "fighting stuff as my special talent. Then I'd have an axe on my butt."

Best line in the history of lines.

Barbarian cutiemark for the WIN.

Hard to choose, one handed axes you can swing easier, but two handed axes are heavier and do more damage... I'll have to go with two handed axes. Maximum Carnage!! >: D

Onyxjew944 Featured By Owner Feb 3, 2013

The look on RD's face... Nicely done. I now only have one question remaining...

Two-handed axe, or two one-handed axes?

arkane32 Featured By Owner Dec 23, 2012

Very awesome redesign of Dash...

Jesness Featured By Owner Dec 23, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Thanks

arkane32 Featured By Owner Dec 23, 2012

You're welcome.

Jonruy Featured By Owner Dec 17, 2012

I would totally wield that axe.

Jesness Featured By Owner Dec 18, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

I'm not one who's big on weaponry, but admittedly, I'd totally rock a RD inspired axe as well. X)

Felanyn Featured By Owner Nov 18, 2012

That is all kinds of awesome. I love how the axe can also look like a bad-ass electric guitar if you squint right. Of course it is a double-axe...
Only halfway through Friendship is Dragons.

Jesness Featured By Owner Nov 19, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Thanks. It was a long while ago that I did this one, so I don't remember if the guitar thing was intentional or not. ... I'm gonna claim it as intentional... so I look clever-rer.

Thanks for your comment.

Can I draw a human Rainbow with that axe as a weapon? Pretty pleeasseeee????

Jesness Featured By Owner May 21, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Sure. Have at it.

faer-windstormfan Featured By Owner May 28, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yayyyy!

FeralRoku Featured By Owner May 18, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

If only that was her real cutiemark...

Jesness Featured By Owner May 19, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

I would like to see the show explain that one. X)

Sonikku-Otaku Featured By Owner Apr 16, 2012

Awesome Cutie Mark, and it would make an equally awesome weapon! 83

Jesness Featured By Owner Apr 16, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Truth-be-told I'm not much into weaponry, but I would love a RD inspired axe.

Thanks for your comment.

AsaharuTatsumi Featured By Owner Apr 14, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This is win. Also by rainbow's expression I don't think she was being serious. I think I need to work with Rainbow to teach people and ponies about the magic of Sarcasm lol. Otherwise we end up with Fluttertree!

Jesness Featured By Owner Apr 14, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Lol! "Magic is Sarcasm," I'd watch that show... Hell, I'd STAR in that show >>; You sir are awesome with your awesome comments of awesomeness. ^_^

AsaharuTatsumi Featured By Owner Apr 14, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I try.

legomadman Featured By Owner Apr 14, 2012

A new Cutie Mark?

HAAAAAAAAAAX!

*AAAAAAAAAAXE!

MissVeya Featured By Owner Mar 19, 2012

After staring at her butt for a while, I started to see it as a guitar... then I realized how epic a guitar with that desing would look...

Jesness Featured By Owner Mar 19, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

If it were a guitar it'd could still be called an ax XD So I guess you can call it a Guitar if you want to.

inverse9 Featured By Owner Mar 27, 2012

It's a guitar ax. You can play music and chop off dragon heads. At the same time.

Jesness Featured By Owner Mar 27, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

How fortunate for RD, she has two special talents.

AxeFiringChainsaw Featured By Owner Mar 19, 2012

She looks a bit unhappy... still, if your talent is combat if a place like Equestria, I suppose life must be a bit quiet... and hard to find employment in. (Well I suppose there's the guard.)

Jesness Featured By Owner Mar 19, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Yes she does. I kinda drew her with a "This isn't quite what I had in mind" sort of expression.

And Rainbow dash in the royal guard would be hilarious. A bright blue, rainbow-maned mare at the head of the royal carriage with pristine white stallions. Very humorous mental image.

ZephyrAria Featured By Owner Mar 18, 2012

FiD ftw. Great job.

Jesness Featured By Owner Mar 18, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

Thanks. ^_^

SkylertTH Featured By Owner Mar 17, 2012

What's with her cutie mark? It's different o_O

Awesome pic!

Jesness Featured By Owner Mar 17, 2012 Student Traditional Artist

A battle ax. The blades are the lightning bolt of her normal cutie mark. I may redo that part cause it's hard to see. (plus I'm not good at metal textures, so the blades look a bit odd.)
