• Newbie Artist Training Grounds: Day 13


    See, ponies and swords can be cute! Just look at her up there, all bein' on a sword and stuff. Hi pony! Hello! Whatcha doin' up there? You're so silly, pony. Tee hee... ahem. I'll stop now, I promise. Lookit her! Ack! Ok, ok, focus. This is supposed to be the badass pony edition. And we really do have quite a number of super cool hip and groovy swordsmares bandying about. How many, I hear you asking? Why, 207! Fight on, ponies! For everlasting justice, let your souls of fire burn brightly for... eeeeeheehee, she's so cute!

    Here's your boring old submission guidelines, and daily reminder to send questions and "darn it the submitter won't work I don't want to miss tonight" entries to phoe@equestriadaily.com. I know this probably gets really super duper boring hearing the same thing every day, but you know that the second I stop it there's going to be 300 people e-mailing Sethisto in a mad panic because they saw this event and wanted to start a bit late but they don't know how and is this ok? So just grin and bear it, and then on the last day we'll all celebrate with triple sec and cranberry juice. Unless you're underage. Then you'll have to settle for just the juice.

    The Theme of the Day

    Draw a pony playing a board game.
    Card games are also acceptable, as are tabletop RPGs. And of course, if you feel like getting a pony involved on the ground floor of a game and, say, draw some ponies on a giant chess board, then that'd be pretty darned awesome, don't you think? Your own imagination is the limit, so let loose and play!



    I will warn you now, due to the high level of sharp objects running around today, a couple of ponies slipped and got some owies. It's not anything a quick visit to Nurse Redheart won't fix, but you're going to see a teensy bit of blood, ok?I promise it's nothing too major. Oh, and some cupcakes references. But I am prepared to laugh those into oblivion. Well then, anyway. The Wheel of Fate is Turning. Rebel 1. Action!

      God, I thought I was really late. Turned out I submitted TOO EARLY.

      ReplyDelete
    14. #149 and 150, today - I was done with Luna way earlier, but the Celestia one took FOREVER and I wanted to submit both at the same time.

      Excellent work as always, everypony! (I love #99's Dr. McNinja and #37's WH40K references!)

      I'm genuinely shocked nobody else did Spaceballs. Heck, barely any Star Wars either.

    19. 188 here. I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out. I'm glad to be back to vectoring instead of using photoshop.

      ReplyDelete
    20. #206 here! Vowing to submit on time tomorrow! ...and to not draw a pony in that standing pose. Shoosh you guys.
      Fluttertree is actually covered in bladed weapons! (nobody tell her though, she might have trouble hiding from herself)

      I really want to comment on all of these but my -bed- couch is calling to me! zzzz...

      ....okay maybe just a few
      139 MTG is awesome. Brohoof.

      165 You know the next step. DOUBLE CHAINSAW-CHUCKS

    21. #26 here. God I messed up so bad on this one.

      #52 is Ghouls and Ghosts, isn't it? Good to see a game being referenced that ISN'T ZELDA.

      ReplyDelete
    22. #142 here! Double rainbow woo!

      At first I was worried for the lack of buster swords, but then 121, 151, and 179 came across.

      23: Mah Boi! never get tired of that
      52: makes me want to replay GnG, haha who am I kidding
      107: Medic! Medic! MEDIC STOP POCKETING THAT HEAVY AND HEAL ME
      136: Littlepip! Though I don't think she has any skill points in melee

      and ALL of the cupcakes pics, I love em <3

      ReplyDelete
    23. #14. Fluttershy!Talim is pretty OOC even for a crossover, but damn if she's not fun to draw that way.

      Why is it that blades are fun to draw and design, and yet I don't much care for drawing the actual results of their (usual) usage in fiction? ;P

      Board games? Must... resist... so many... Magic... references...

      ReplyDelete
    24. Scotaloo VS. AppleBloom is basically Rainbow Dash VS AppleJack

      BTW is it allowed to use Photoshop, take the basic stuff from the actual show and edit it into something new and pwnage?

      ReplyDelete
    25. 92 here! Picking the colors sure was a doozy

    26. #108 here. The Cow Pirate Moobeard sounds much funnier at 2:00 AM than it did at 10:00 PM :)

    32. Wow, this really IS crossover day again.

    33. I'm #169 tonight. My Little Ponytoss turned out better than I would have expected, but the coloring job is rough around the edges. Ah well.

      A lot of these are really good!

      ReplyDelete
    34. #195 here, I'm quite surprised (and partially pleased lol) that I was the only one to think of the "Pen is mightier than the sword" pun.

      ReplyDelete
    35. #32 this time. I thought I'd be way lower on the list, but apparently I wasn't quite as late as I thought.

      I love all the references today. Especially #52; that really makes me want to play that game again. And fail miserably, but that's sort of implied, I suppose.

      ReplyDelete
    36. #207 phew got it in just in time. Thanks Phoe :)

    37. @Alleydodger

      Hey, it's these last minute extenuating circumstances that are the reason I stay up an hour past the deadline making sure I don't miss anything. It's such a sad thing to wake up in the morning and find out somepony got passed over when I could have done something about it...

      ReplyDelete
    38. #199 here! Whoops, mine has the most blood out of any of these! Even the cupcakes references!

      This is ponified OC Luna Ashati (no relation to Princess Luna). She's a demon hunter who really loves her job. And she's a little unhinged too. I can't not draw her covered in blood. I did get a little creeped out a couple times as I was adding the blood and effects.

      Some of my favorites here are Monty Python, Spaceballs, Fate/stay Night, ummm...
      And all the rest!

      ReplyDelete
    39. Phoe - did - did you reference the Chzo mythos in connection with Cupcakes? :o

      also - YAAAAY FOR LILPIP <3

      If I actually had access to a scanner, I'd have submitted my crappy picture of Fluttershy using a hoe. That counts as a bladed weapon, right . . .?

      but now . . . what the heck kind of board game do ponies play? D:

      ReplyDelete
    40. #189 reporting in. I also expect to tweak and color mine later on.

      Love all the MTG and KH related drawings. :3
      Still like everypony else's drawings too.
      Good job everypony.

    41. #24 and #37
      Haku-pony.Win. And since when do I own a tank? O.o

      ReplyDelete
    42. #32 - oh, I'm soo with you on this one
      #149&150 - Beautiful!
      #177 - absolutely nothing to worry about, she's a professional

      Amazing work, everypony!

      I feel guilty I didn't participate this time (third time in total, but this time I even had no good reason not to.. just didn't.. why am I so lazy?)
      Board games it is then.

      ReplyDelete
    43. Good to see it wasn't all Otakus clopping at the sight of Katanas (useless bit of junk that they are... everyone with any sense knows the 1908 and 1912 Pattern cavalry sabres represent to true pinnacle of swords).

      #37? Hate to break it to you, but that's a C&C Mammoth Tank not some WH40K madness.

      ReplyDelete
    44. #177 here and it almost ended up taking place after the haircut instead of before. I almost entirely forgot about Lyra's horn and tail, which doesn't look too good when a giant blade is involved >_>;;

      Anyhoo, nice turnout again.

      #4 - I didn't know Fluttershy could make a butterknife look so scary.
      #37 - I snorted since I can so see Twilight doing that XD
      #59 - So creepy it's making me laugh.
      #100 - Brilliant, just brilliant.
      #110 - So very elegant and sophisticated, I like it :)
      #157 - Love the FF8 reference!
      #179 - To quote Phoe, "absurdly adorable".
      #204 - o.O I don't want to imagine what that'll be like when it grows back...

      And I just love all the many, many puns <3

    45. I've been sick for the last week or so with bronchitis. A bit of a downer, you might say.

      Only to see #112 by RaspleZS. Fan art of a pony of mine??

      My mind is blown, and I'm starting to feel better already. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

      (P.S. RaspleZS, mind if I put a link to it in my ff.net profile page?)

    46. Ooo, number 1 today. I didn't think that would ever happen. I almost went with Fluttershy but decided on one of my favorite lesser background ponies instead.

    47. @haganbmj

      OMG, in by the skin of my teeth! Thank you Phoe! I see I'm the only one who came up with Pinkie shaving (that's how come she's pink, silly!). A coworker wanted me to draw an epic sword where the blade is the tail of two ponies who are standing rump to rump. Um, no! Two ponies? Are you crazy?! I barely manage one before sleepiness makes me go all wonky. So I get up in the wee hours (local) to download ArtRage. Bork, bork, bork! She no work. Open PS Elements, fight with that trying to get a line drawing out of a photo of a sketch! Aaaah! deadline! OMGprintscreenpastecrophurry!hurry! Eeek!saveuploadrightclickfindsubmissionpagesubmit! I'm awake now.

      Favorites! #4 (Fluttershy stalking a pink cake. Probably because I'm hungry. And it's funny.)
      17 (Scoot and Bloom facing off in school hallway. I don't get the ref, but it looks like serius bznss)

    49. Oh almost forgot, I hate Rarity's oh so stylish hair, that was a big problem with mine.

      Also It's the first art I have put a muffin in, as well as a lemon...

      Now I think I'm gonna put a muffin in every pic from now on =P

      My scanner ruined my drawing. I kind of knew it would happen, and that I should have colored it on computer to avoid the horrifying ammount of contrast and brightness, but I was too lazy to start fighting with Gimp... Sorry. :< Maybe I someday redo the drawing so I don't have to mourn over it.

      Many awesome drawings there. Great work! :)

    55. 15 here - currently experimenting with different drawing methods, that was water colors. What will I use today? I don't know...

    61. This theme is so epic! Love all the sword design mostly. A lot of creativity out there! Don't like mine much though.(103) Oh well I'll think on something amazing for today theme...hopefully -_-

      Well good job everypony and good luck on today's theme!

      122: Harry Potter reference? RESPECT. Done with Twilight? DOUBLE RESPECT.

    63. 24 is mine. Happiness.
      Also, props to 104, although the sword of war and peace's handle does look a bit weird. I personally only use body and mind, strata scythe, and argentum armor, of which I have like 3. And then I have a playset of True Conviction.

    64. Couple more things while I'm here,

    66. #37 here, that drawing was meant as a reference to a demotivational, which includes a picture of WH40K. (you can find it here: http://static.black-frames.net/images/drive-me-close.jpg )

      The tank is based on a Mammoth Tank from C&C Renegade though, instead of a WH40k one ^^

      Ah rats, it seems it does get sent in as it was when I clicked "submit". I noticed that the flowers didn't have shadows like 2 seconds after that and fixed the source I had linked in my submission to include that. Oh well, if anyone cares the fixed version is on my DevArt account. Although I didn't have a clue how to make the boat's shadow convincing. ;_;

    76. I made #60 (yay!), but it was apparently too small to read unless you click on it. But! It's there! And that is cool.

    77. I always want to do something as simple and cute as 127 but I get carried away!

      I'm 135 today. Lotsa other bladed Rarities I see today too! Nice X3 I had a lot of fun with mine, got the idea for a kimono and katana wielding Rarity and it just all came together nicely. I love it when that happens!

    83. A BlazBlue reference in Phoe's original post? This alone is enough to make me happy. Then I start looking at the drawings and they never stop being awesome.

      Today is the last important deadline for me. I hope I will still have enough time to submit something.

    85. #57 checking in.

      I can honestly say that I'd never had to imagine the sword-fighting stance of a magical My Little Pony unicorn fashionista before, but it was pretty fun figuring it out.

      ReplyDelete
    86. Plenty of Zelda references, but no Skyward Sword? Come on! The girl is the sword!
      Lotsa cupcake ones too. At least none of them went too far.

    87. Hi, my attempt is #185 today. Great stuff as always. Interestingly enough I do have a bit of a visceral response when I see ponies with blades threatening each other, but when they wave them at my beloved Twilight Sparkle, just back off! :)
      I especially like:
      22: Even though it is Trixie whom is so very doomed.
      31: Not only is the Psycho reference fun, the whole concept of a showering Twilight is uhm...also fun.
      37: Not only is Twilight looking exeptionally cute waving her sword, but I have not seen the "hit 'em with my sword" joke before, so this is doubly entertaining for me.
      39: Ahhwww, Flutterwallace. Just stay cute.
      42: "Well done, Grasshopper."
      53: I like it. Just don't hurt each other, please? (My other two mane cast ponies)
      67: So sad, but well done.
      90: Choppity Chop!!!
      96: Lovely composition and execution. (NOT w/ a blade ya blood-thirsty ponies!)
      97: Thoughtful and fun.
      104: Sharp and pointy pony.
      119: *shudders*
      127: Nice pencil work. 'dem eyes.
      129: Well, I resisted at first, but okay, I bow to the cuteness.
      Ack! Running out of time!
      135, 138: Twilight!, 139, 149: such a nice composition, 167: I think I just like a trussed-up RD, 177, and of course, 204: not that I like Pinky furless, but the concept is distracting, in a very nice way!

      Great efforts! I really appreciate the work that goes into these since I have been struggling to get my own drawing done. Thanks everypony for the contributions!

    88. #108 The Secret of Pony Island :) YEAAAAAAAH!!!

      ReplyDelete
    89. 23) Ponies being involved makes even this not only not annoying, but absolutely adorable.

      32) When I first read the theme yesterday I immediately thought of doing something like this. I'm glad someone did.

      52) Oh HECK yeah. Can you believe I just finished Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts for the first time in my life without cheating like two weeks ago? I love that series! Just make sure you reach Rarity with the Golden Armor if you really wanna impress her.

      123) Aw, c'mon. I was so bad at eyes (and am still not perfect at them) but I made sure to draw them every day, and have improved a lot. I do sometimes "cleverly avoid" having to draw them by having the pony with closed eyes or "happy eyes" though~

      140) This actually made me laugh. You show 'em, Scoots.

      148) If Zoro were actually a unicorn, and could technically hold a near-infinite number of swords based on his magical prowess...

      Anyway, I dig all the TMNT references, and I love how all the themes of this week seem to keep bleeding over into each other, like not only the characters but the rope thing today. Now, today's theme is super interesting -- I'm already thinking of a ton of different ways the context can be warped .3.

      ReplyDelete
    90. #162 today, inspired by Spark's submission from yesterday (loved that scratchy chalkboard look). Fluttershy wants to help cut them free with her Twin–Bladed Actuating Apparatus, but Applejack disapproves of intervention.

      This was my first pic done without any in–show poses to stencil off of, and also my first attempt at something other than profile viewpoints. Given that, I think it came out alright, except for Long Lyra being Long. Also she's the wrong color. But anyway.

      These +fav lists are getting longer every day. D= #4, #26, #37, #50, #52, #76, #99, #100, #107, #144, #157, #179 and #206 this time. Also #79. I don't know what that is but it's adorable as heck.

    101. @Laurence Brown By all means, link it! I was/am so intrigued by the mystery of Coyote Colt's 'missing' Cutie Mark, I had to draw it. (My own OC pony has Cutie Mark trouble, too. If I ever get that self-serving Fanfic done...)

      Oh, #112 checking, btw.

    102. #96. It's times like these that I really wish we'd have a weekly pony theme along with our daily ones--sometimes you really want to make something polished but it's just not going to happen in the few hours I can spare in one day! That being said, great job everypony.

      #31 I almost ended up doing a 'Psycho' ref pic too! Except in mine, Pinkie materialized out the the shadows with a cake that desperately needed cutting into. A CAKE FILLED WITH BLOOODODODODO! (and sprinkles) -- glad I didn't, yours was great.
      #83 Well done!; #90 Lol'ed; #100 LOVE; #106 and #119 were great too.

      Bronies who are frustrated with their scanners should consider vectoring their lines after scanning--it's a quick easy way to polish your work and you don't need a tablet to do it.

      Probably a little late in the day, but in case #4/ChaosDrop is still reading:

      Things are pretty intense at my work right now, a lot of lay-offs, and I had that picture up on a window of my iPhone web browser, and would periodically take a peek at it over the course of a day to cheer myself up. It's marvellous.
