• Artist Training Grounds: Mock War Day 2 At Long Last

    So, resubmission is officially over and done with. I think that went very successfully, thank you all so much for your patience. We are finally, finally, finally ready to move on! I'm so excited and proud of all of you! For our restart day, we've received a grand total of 551 armored and uniformed little ponies, all of which you'll find below the break. I think this proves pretty handily just how much smoother everything goes when you've got a functional submission script! =D

    Remember, when sending your Day 2 stuff, head on over to this site and fill out the forms as you see them. "Name" means your user name. We had some confusion about that. If you're submitting from DeviantART, remember to send the actual image url and not the deviantART page link. Any other questions or submission derps are always welcome at [email protected].

    Update:  There's a minor problem with the submission script which is being attended to. Please, for the love of Celestia, wait a couple of hours before resorting to e-mail. I beg of you.

    Day 2: You're In the Army Now
    After taking some time to get adjusted to your new life, you finally feel ready to turn up for basic training. Like your bunkmate keeps saying, no point in marching off to war without knowing how to fight, right? The sun is shining painfully bright above you, as the drill instructor barks orders at pair of fencing unicorns. 
    "No. Guard up, damn you! Up! Riposte! Why aren't you...? Ugh. Just... just take five, everypony."
    Now, she turns to you, and the rest of the newbie class, gesturing to the foam swords sitting in front of you.
    "Pick those up and find a partner."
    It doesn't take long for you to learn you're not cut out for this. It's impossible to get a grip, and all you can manage to occasionally take a clumsy horizontal slash at your sparring partner. You're rewarded for your efforts with a disapproving thwack from the instructor's own foam blade.
    "Nmph. Yuh hbth to hrd rt lrrk thth!"
    "Mrph?"
    "Thth! Lrrk thth!" She gestures wildly, but does nothing further to communicate her... uh... point. 
    "Whr mrshf..." Ptooi. "Why would anypony even make weapons like this in a country without hands?"
    High above on a tower balcony, Princess Celestia stifles a giggle.
     Assignment: Draw a pony in training
    A couple of quick points before we get into the juicy juicy Day 1 gallery. When I delete duplicate submissions, the others aren't re-sequenced at present, so the numbering is going to be just a touch out of whack. If you don't see yours in here and it's still early after the post goes up, just have patience. Some of these things take time. But without further ado, into the armory!

    7. Welp. I'll see if anything stands out when I check back in half an hour to see if all the images have loaded.

    8. I am amazed by the pure pony epicness.

    9. So many pics my browser won't even load them all. lol I'm sure there's a lot of great ones though.

    10. @Vipera Yeah, I'm with you on this one. 500+ images ain't exactly easy on any internet connection.

    12. Spent two hours making a mouse macro for day one so I could save these at a press of a button. It was worth it.

      ReplyDelete
    13. Crap... I might have a chance at drawing a real pony if I use good ol' paper and pencil. Instead, I'm to stuck in a closet to pony up and do that...

      ReplyDelete
    14. Apparently I'm having a problem with the uploader page. Sometimes it doesn't load, but when it does load, when I submit, it seems to take forever, and then go to a 404 page. I'm not sure if mine got submitted or not. (If it did, it would have been submitted twice)

      ReplyDelete
    15. Lawl. I totally forgot to give the link to the actual DeviantArt submission and only gave the link.

      If that could be fixed it'd be lovely.

    18. Thanks all y'all have inspired me to draw my OCs in combat mode. I hope I won't spent more than a month of sketching as it will be pencil an paper.

      Thanks for the inspiration, all of you that drew

      ReplyDelete
    19. *only gave the link to the image

      Wow. Don't post when you're hopped up on cold medicine, children. I am an example for why that's bad.

      ReplyDelete
    20. I submitted 2.Both are the same picture but with some slight differences. The first one was 407 and the second one was a slightly edited one with better lighting which was 471. I derped and forgot something in the first picture. I put on chainmail on my pony which may be hard to tell from the picture. She has a mask on her face as well. I think I might have done to much for my first picture of a pony. I will work on drawing ponys more.

      ReplyDelete
    21. Fillies and Gentlecolts, we have QUITE an army here today!

      I skimmed the ones that loaded, and clicked a few in between. Well done.

      ReplyDelete
    22. I think we broke it again. Cant connect to the submission site haha

      ReplyDelete
    23. Such a turnout, great job everypony!

      Thank you for all your hard work and dedication Phoe. I'm afraid I may have contributed to the mess last time by linking your email after the submission site went down. For that, I apologize profusely.

      Also, mine is 516. It came out better than I expected, since I have virtually no artistic ability or training.

      ReplyDelete
    24. Wow, loading this is going to kill my internet. Going to have to wait till school tomorrow.

      ReplyDelete
    25. :O Wow it's taking forever to load all of this art. I'll have to take batches of ten to critique on. I'll get to it after I finish my day 2. Remember everypony, this is a training ground, so try and help each other get better. :3

      My piece is #198, I believe. I'd really appreciate stopping by to give feedback on it. :D It's nothing much and my Day 2 should impress a bit more, but I'm really looking for the critique. Thank you.

      ReplyDelete
    26. Oh i found mine its 535, luckily i manged to get home in time to post mine =D Glad to see how many other people drew their own stuff. Onward to day 2!!!

      ReplyDelete
    27. Hooray, mine made it! #527

      I am happy :D and didn't know which name to put lmao.

    29. Yay, I struggled to stay awake til' now just so I could see my submission.
      And now I have a silly grin plastered on my face.
      #438 if anypony's interested, it's not great but at least I finished it.
      And now I sleep, goodnight everypony!

      Thanks again for putting this event on for us!

    32. W00T! :D Nice to see mine got in so high up on the list! (19) It makes me feel speshul. Especially since Phoes seems to like it so much :3

      Ready to submit day 2 as soon as you get everything straightened out :)

      ReplyDelete
    33. awww i cant load them all =( I am sure that they are all prrty awesome though.

      ReplyDelete
    34. #84 here, but I am blown away by everyone's dedication to deliver regardless of skill level. Its great to see the entire community involving themselves rather than just showcasing only a few more well known names! The amount of submissions blows the drawfriends away, that and I think we broke the second one again, lol. O.o

      ReplyDelete
    35. Found mine: #385. Jeeze, now that I think about it, what the hay was I thinking when I "drew" that? Wasn't really in top form when I scribbled that. I was prepping my brother for his road test when I drew that (which he passed by the way. Yay me!) I guess while I'm waiting for everything to load, I'll get a look at what you guys contributed.

    37. for the love of celestia, cut this into segments. my computer can't handle all this art

      ReplyDelete
    38. My computer can't hold all this pony! I'll have to check next time to see them all, but the ones that I can see look awesome!

      Feel free to leave feedback on mine, #155.

      And thank you Phoe for doing this event! Glad to see you're back in the game! Really sorry for contributing to the amount of emails last time.

    43. EDIT: Suddenly, everything is loading quickly. LOL. I just wanna share what I think on your pics guys. Though I'll have to do it as they come.

      @St Neon
      This pony definitely looks battle ready. Love the expression. It seems to say "I'm ready for battle and I'm gonna give it my all."

      @RyuuKiba
      This one definitely says "warrior pony." Just look at all the armor. Nothing's gonna hurt this warrior.

      @Starling
      Haha. Nice. The look on Private Pansy's face is just priceless.

      @Knuckleshy
      These were really good. Though I think the changes on the second one might have been a little too subtle for me to pick up on. Either that or you accidentally sent in the same picture twice.

    44. So is day 2 literally being posted tmrw???

    49. Wow. So much pony! Most are great, and even those that are a bit less-than-polished are awesome just for having been submitted.

      I'd never even attempt something like this (mostly because I don't think stick-ponies count), so hats off to everyone who put themselves and their work out there!

    52. Ok I finally got the submission site to work. Still not sure mine will show up this late in the game, but that's ok... Because the next one I make will be even BETTER!!

    58. Great art guys!
      Now if the submission page for Day 2 would just load...

      ReplyDelete
    59. @CityFlyer502

      I forgot one of the backlegs on the first picture so I added that to the second picture.I started around 10 pm and ended at 3am for the first picture. I also added some red to the hooves since the chainmail didn't cover the bottom of the hooves for the second picture. I also added small dashes of red between the chainmail. It is in the first pic but the lighting makes it hard to see. I also made the belly more rounded then the first pic. The main difference was the lighting that made things stand out more.

      Okay I need to work on the Day 2 pic now.

    60. "139) By Harwick

      Oh holy crap. What did you use to make this?"

      Junebug's armor was forged of cold iron mined from the deepest reaches of Equestria, shaped through dragon-fire over an anvil made from the heart of a dead star, and quenched in the loving tears shed for the nation's martyrs.

      The flowers were picked from a field of pansies out behind her rental unit on the edge of Ponyville.

      ReplyDelete
    61. These rock! ~Woohoo~

      #491 is mine-I wish I could actualy draw, but I just started out so I'm forced to just copy other things (Huzzah for the Pony Creator!)

      Confound this perfectionism of mine! It drives me away from learning!

      Rambling over, I don't have the time or non-laggy connection to look at most of these, but they all look pretty damn fine. If nothing else, remember that you've all got your own unique style!

      ReplyDelete
    62. 551 works and no Celestia? Get on it guys.

      ReplyDelete
    63. Gonna have to cut my 'reviews' short. I really need to get to work on Day 2 and I have no idea what I'm gonna draw.

      @MyBoyJ
      That actually came out really good. Though I'm not sure if Derpy's bored or that's just the expression that came out.

      @SolidSt33d
      Nice. The sun emblem on the armor's a nice touch. Don't need anyone to tell me not mess with this pony.

      @Dusty the Royal Janitor
      ROFL. Just so much funny in this one. I just love how Derpy seems unfazed by the confusion of the human-turned-pony, as well as his overall confusion and the fact that he doesn't seem to be getting any answers.

      @Arctic_Kiwi
      Wow. This is amazing. This pony definitely complements the background.

      ReplyDelete
    64. 475 tis mine! Yay ^_^

    66. I just finished looking through every single one... Fun stuff! Some really neat artwork in there. I loved #59, even though it wasn't a pony; it's a human Luna.

      Anyways, there's a LOOOOT of artwork in here. Mine is at #166. Not my best, but my Day 2 submission I liked better. (Finally managed to submit it)

      Thanks for your kind words. She's supposed to be reluctant to fight. I'm not very good at drawing facial expressions. If you want to see a slightly better description of the picture you can check out my DA.

    69. Amazing art, it's full of stars!

      Um, is it possible to arrange next days' galleries better? You know, subfolders with 100 images each, so you don't have to load 600+ at once?

      ReplyDelete
    70. Okay, 500+ pics to comment on... let's get to it!

      HA! Just kidding. How about I comment on every number that's mentioned in the comments before this post instead? In order they got mentioned:

      504) Cool mane styling! He could probably do some damage whipping those things around.

      Volmise (no number, link provided): I would probably just stand there and let her charge into me... she's quite lovely to look at. Nice coloration too.

      148) It's not too late to change your name to Golden Armor. It's got a nice ring to it. Very cool, dramatic look. I especially like the bridle.

      481) Wow... commander Hurricane looks pretty badass. No wonder Pansy was so nervous around that guy!

      407/471) I hadn't even considered the whole prehensile tail angle when it came to swordfighting. They'd be able to whip those swords about in an pretty intimadating fashion.

      30) I remember Lyra on her throne from the Drawfriend. Now we know why she was practicing sitting that way. Awesome work.

      516) Armored Derpy looks good in horizontal stripes. They're in this year, I hear. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

      198) It's the dapper hat that makes the look. Too few soldiers go off to war with stylish chapeaus. fine pencil work.

      535) I like the shaggy look of the mane and tail with the cleaner lines of the uniform giving way to the mor jagged back end.

      527) Armored big Mac would be pretty intimidating on the field of battle. His little grin makes him look like he knows it.

      468) Two ponies for the price of one... one working the shield and one working the sword. Let's see some Griffons coordinate that well! I like the jazzy look to their helmets.

      438) Aw, Carrot Top looks so cute I almost can forgive her for Alderaan. Funny choice!

      348) She's not terrible at all... except in a "Great and Terrible Derpy" kind of way. We all know she will rain destruction down upon her enemies as if they were town halls. Love the pillows.

      19) A top 20 entry... someone was on the ball. A very funny comic too. You're not supposed to be shell shocked until after the battle.

      84) Not only full color, but a kick ass logo too! Very sharp work indeed on a clean design.

      385) I don't know what you're complaining about... she's adorable. Who could stand up to any onslaught led by that face?

      155) Ha! The apple morning star is genius.

      17) Such a sad pony. I guess war really is hell... even mock war. Like her camo though.

      319/519) Aw, yeah! A payload of whupass is about to be delivered from low orbit! Very cool.

      ReplyDelete
    71. 224) I like that kind of pseudo-muscle armor design. I'm guessing it's a reference I don't know though.

      221) Awesome. here's hoping the Griffons don't have a Sarlaac.

      70) Granny Smith in that uniform is indeed made of win.

      449) How embarrassing to come to the front lines wearing last year's style. A great and funny cartoon!

      139) @Almighty Spoonpony: I didn't realize you mentioned mine until I looked it up going through this list. If you look at the upload date on Deviant art, you'll see it was actually done in the original 24 hours, as per the rules. It didn't make the original day one post because of the technical issues though.

      168) Gas masks are always creepy. Gas masks on ponies are cute and creepy.

      8) A top Tenner. Cheerilee deserves a quick submission if any pony does. Only she and Donald Duck can pull off that shirt-and-no-pants combo so well.

      501) Applejack thinks heavy armor is for sissies.

      175) Say what you want, some ponies really rock a fine jumpsuit.

      491) And some ponies only need a helmet and a god-given talent for evasion.

      475) Pinkie knows something. The Griffon army had best prepare to be pranked hard.

      315) Are spiked metal wing tips allowed by the Celestia convention? That's a pretty intimidating design.

      166) Cool uniform! More officers should wear tails... even when they already have tails.




      And one I noticed while going through all of these:

      479 by Frith: Love the design, and honestly, what would freak out an enemy more than a pony that wore fur skins?! And such fashionable ones at that. I know I'd never mess with Fleur.


      Whew. That gets me up to the current post. Awesome work to everyone who entered, and thanks to Phoe and all who put this together for us!

      ReplyDelete
    72. I'm actually a bit upset. I worked hard to get my submission in before 7 PST, despite a difficult work schedule today. The submission page was down from the time I was ready to submit to well after the deadline, so I emailed it in, so as not to miss the deadline. Apparently I missed it anyway. That actually really puts me off the while project a bit...

      ReplyDelete
    73. Yay! I made a submission in time! Good thing this submission showed up this time, though, because it looks so much better than my first one, even if that isn't saying much. XD

    77. @IkkouSoryu

      People keep posting before I can finish my lists! I'm worried that the ponies apparently develop Skynet. Probably from the remains of Sweetie Bot, now that I think on it. Sweet drawing.

      Okay, I'm done for the night!

    78. @Harwick Thank you! I'm glad you like the weapon!

      As for your drawing, woah. Those are all the words I can muster up to describe it. I'm with Phoe, how did you make this? It's incredible!

      ReplyDelete
    79. Lots of good work :D
      Mine is #190, any feedback?

      ReplyDelete
    80. I hope I don't come off as too critical anywhere. There's nothing to be learned by "wow, that is good", but I also don't want to sound like I'm talking anyone down. That said... I guess I'm mostly just saying "wow that is good", but trying to be specific.



      #10 did a really god job on the expression and specifically the gloss on the eye.

      #21 is just ridiculously good. Belongs in a drawfriend post, not the training grounds.

      #22 It's a bit of a gimmick, but pulled off very well! I wonder how it would look animated. Probably awesome.

      #26 made me chuckle.

      #27 EXCELLENT job on the face and facial expression. The legs seem a bit off in terms of proportion, so that might be something to look at, but the face is PERFECT. Also the speech is amusing.

      #31 Looks really nice. I'm at something vaguely at the same level myself, except I haven't done anything with colours. Facial expression and anatomy look very good. It's probaly time to play with poses beyond "pony standing" because you've got that down.

      #90 is strangely compelling. I don't have any useful criticism... it's just... those eyes. SOMETHING was very well done with that expression.

      #127 Adorable, and really good shading. Good emotive pose.

      #207 What medium did you use? The colours and shading are WONDERFUL.

      #219 Very emotive. Good use of a setting instead of just a pony floating in space.

      #227 I wish I had a comment other than "LOL!"

      #228 Really pops out of the page. The angle worked very well, and made it feel very 3 dimensional. Also, cool creative choice of armor.

      #249 I like the facial expression, and the fact that something (conflict between hemlet and hat) is going on in the picture.

      #263 could almost be from the show. Wow.

      #282 "My goodness, the shading on this." Indeed. Wow.

      #287 Good job on proportions and facial expression. Probably time to experiment with various poses, because you seem to have "pony in profile" down pat.

      #294 Simple, but the angle makes it look nicely three dimensional. I like the non standard take on the wings. This one seems like it was drawn by someone working their way up the slope from "good" to eventually becoming "pretty epic".

      #301 Vibrant colours, and two poses! You did a very good job of deviating just a bit from the show's exact specifications and putting your own artistic stamp on the picture. It's really hard to make someone else's character look like that character but ALSO like your own art, and you did it really well. Also, cute as hell.

      #307 Wow, really elaborate armor! Also, the pose gives a good sense of motion... and the sword in the mouth is just cute.

      #311 Nice facial expression! Everything else is good, but the face grabbed me.

      #323 D'aww. Very cute. Good job especially with the helmet.

      #417 Excellent facial expression.

      #434 Despite the simple profile angle, there is a certain vibrancy to this picture that makes me think of a stained glass window of Joan of Arc.

      #441 Adorable as heck.

      #443 Makes me think of Pinkamena before her revilation. The eyes positively glow with moist cuteness.

      #449 Good facial expressions, and good use of deceptively simple shading. And the comic element is funny.

      #526 I should just say "wow, that's good" but... wow, that's good. Good perspective, facial expressions, shading, colouring... I want to be that good some day. Uumm... their necks seem a teensy bit long. There, I FOUND something to cricitize, but only by trying. :)

      #533 Very cute. Reminds me of a lithgraph...

    81. Hi Everypony! I apologize for the downtime at about the last second.
      There were a TON more page hits than I was expecting and it caused the server to run out of memory, run out of swap space, and raise all 4 cpus to max.

      The downtime was caused by me emergency shutting it down and then quickly placing a secondary caching service in front of everything. I'm sorry that happened, but it needed to or else the server was at risk of dying.

      Everything is ok now though and the new setup shouldn't cause issues. :D

      Yeah I went seached google and deviant art for ponys hold swords with tails and I couldn't find anything so I tried to remember how I drew TMNT way back when I did in the 80's and 90's.

      Anyway I am about half way done with my day 2 picture I just need to decide if I am putting armor on this pony or not since she is just training.I guess given the context of the picture it would best to. I also need to decide where I am putting this sword.

      Unfortunately, I don't have all day to wait this time. I've got a bit of a full plate today, so I'll shoot it off to the email and plop it down here, so there's TWO forms of entry this time. Hopefully one of them gets through and posted this time.

    121. Aw, I missed the day 1 submission again! But at least my day 2 is safely uploaded now.

    122. Submitted my Day 2 work.

      I didn't want to do it at first, the hell's with the assignment, training is boring. But today I've had semi-amusing idea and decided to draw. Had little time and urge to put actual effort into drawing or digitizing properly.

      Watch out, it will look like ass.

    123. Oh. my. GOD.


      Just look at the disturbing lack of gasmasks!

      Oh, right. Well, these are all awesome! Especially the ones with should lamps!

      *needs more shoulder lamps and gasmasks*

    124. Yay, mine are up there!

      Too bad they're traced and took me almost 2 weeks of intermittent work to make.

      I'd better get to work if I'm gonna make a second submission.

    125. Not the easiest of subjects today. Best I can take from day 2 is that I've got a nice sketch for a future day and refined my OC/uniform a bit more.

    126. Can anyone tell me how to submit from DeviantArt? Or if there's any other way? It's being lame and I can't figure it out since I'm incompetent or something...

    129. Back from jury duty and I don't have to do it for another year. I also just submitted my picture. Now I can relax for the rest of the night.

    130. I'm getting a "Database Failure" error whenever I try to to submit through the submission website, is the script broken again?

      (posting Day 2 submission here just in case)

    131. I'm assuming it's ok to post pictures that weren't up here. Because I was lazy and missed the deadline.

    133. This couldn't have come at a better time, I just started making a custom minecraft texture pack with proper pony armor and some of these are completely amazing, I am definitely using these as inspiration
