• Artist Training Grounds: Mock War, Day 3



    Recruits! I'm pleased to report that our adjustment period is finally at an end! No more hiccups, no more stalling, no more apologies. Forward, march! You've all done a wonderful job completing your training. All in all 507 ponies made it through boot camp, making our official submission total for the event 1058 pictures! As I believe the saying goes, that's a lot of pony! Keep up the good work!

    Now for the repetitive part. You'll find the official submission script right here. Please remember to fill out the name section correctly, using whatever name you would like to be known by. There's no right or wrong answer, but we can't call you anything when your name is "ATG Day 3". Unless you have very weird parents. Remember to get the full image url if you're submitting from DeviantART, which should be locatable by right clicking the image and selecting the appropriate option. All problem children may, as always, come to me at [email protected], and I'll do my best to get you sorted.

    Day 3: Who Are You Calling a Dweeb?!
     War. War never changes. Even when it involves diminutive technicolor equines and baked goods instead of bullets, even when it finally gives you the chance to make that Fallout reference you've always wanted to try, it's still hell. Your commanders patted you on the back and told you that your training was complete. Maybe you even believed them, just a little. But now, surrounded by the burst of jam filled water balloons, comrades on the floor covered in whip cream, you realize what a foal you've been. 

    And now you've caught yourself making pony puns. Well that's just super. Instinct kicks in, and you narrowly dodge another pastry barrage and make your way farther into the battlefield. Little skirmishes start up all around you. There's no way forward, no way back. Suddenly, a griffon drops to the ground in front of you, bowling you over and leering derisively. You try to crawl away, to find safety, but she towers over you, pulling out a pair of foam daggers, which she grips effortlessly in her very handlike front claws. Oh, you cheating mother f--


    "Yo, dweeb! Hurry up and taking your beating like a good little pony, I've got places to be!"\


    Wait, what did she just call you? Oh, it. Is. On.
    Assignment: Draw a pony dueling

    So, this event has gotten a hell of a lot bigger since the last time I ran it. I'm completely staggered by just how much pony you've managed to produce in just 2 themes' worth of time. I'd love to say it was two days, but... well, things don't always go according to plan. I've been learning a lot about the logistics of an event like this, and juggling it with my other obligations in and around my new home. I'd like to take this chance to apologize to those of you who were affected by that and weren't able to be featured in the previous gallery. Likewise, I'm not finding myself with a whole lot of time to add in comments to a lot of these pictures, and I'm sorry for that. I know it's something that a lot of the old guard came to look forward to. But I'll do better tomorrow, just wait and see! But for now, we've got ourselves a Day 2 Gallery that is very much overdue. Presenting proudly and for the very first time: the actual, factual Training Grounds!

    3. So many images...
      The theme this time is interesting. I like the message at the beginning.

    4. I see many a great art here

      Who needs to deul when I have twin mounted miniguns that fire .50 cal rounds?

    5. Awesome, but mine is late. :/ Damn Midterms. I remember something about late submissions being said before. Any hope I can still get mine in the gallery? (I need about another hour or 2 to finish)

      ReplyDelete
    6. #455 reporting in! Still getting used to drawing pony...

      ReplyDelete
    7. These ponies aren't disgruntled enough to be infantry. Must be nice...

      ReplyDelete
    8. Wow. What a turnout. And considering the little note at the end, I'm guessing there's more on the way. Got mine in with only ten minutes to spare. #451 if anyone cares to have a look.

      ReplyDelete
    9. Potentially get first because it takes so long to scroll.

      ReplyDelete
    13. Looks like I have a monopoly on MapleStory ponies. Can't say that's a surprise. Now the question is Evan dueling with Aran or Demonslayer... Demonslayer would make one awesome looking pony...
      (Oh, and mine is #299 if anyone cares~)

      Really good my friend, I didn't know you drew, do you just use pencil an paper cause that's how I'm doing it

      ReplyDelete
    15. Wohoo! I hate how mine tuned out picture quality wize.But I am just glad its up there. #68

      ReplyDelete
    16. #182 made me quite literally laugh out loud.

    17. Yes!! I got a comment from Phoe!!

      ReplyDelete
    18. @Travis Smith Wow. Thanks. It's actually the software that came bundled with the Bamboo Create tablet I got. I did mean to start drawing in time, but then this came along, so my schedule moved up.

      ReplyDelete
    19. you reminded me how much i hate gilda.

      ReplyDelete
    20. Hooray for ponies! And we have SO MANY. If you need me, I'll be here for a couple of hours.
      (mine are 429, 431, and 435)

      ReplyDelete
    21. OMG, so much crazy pony.

      I wish I had made something but even with all that warning... sigh couldn't come up with anything, then when I did, BAM! Stuff happens and my friend ditches me outside of a research lab halfway across campus 3 hours from turn in time with an idea I had just formulated :(

      Drawing a gryphon is gonna be fun !!! (I don't need hair; who needs hair when you got ponies?)

      ReplyDelete
    22. I already have several silly ideas for tomorrow's theme, which do I choose...
      #374 if anypony cares.

      See ya tomorrow everypony!

      ReplyDelete
    23. D: I don't know what happened with that thumbnail! Does the submit site not like transparent backgrounds?
      Number 48 is much better if you click it :/

      ReplyDelete
    24. Woo!! I made it in! :D Not too terrible for my second pony drawing... Except mine's missing the name and should say #411... Ah well. I'm just happy it's there :)

      ReplyDelete
    25. That description in the post... the ending, lmao. I needed a good laugh. <3

      "Getting tired yet? Oh goodness, I am so witty." Doh ho ho! Just the kind of stupid silly pun I would make. :P

      "Knights of the Sound Table (oh god, don't hit me)" Okay, now you might be pushing it slightly. Haha.

      #73 ... ouch. Makes my mouth quiver just looking at it. Poor Derpy. Get that thing out of your mouth. D:

      #114 I giggled. Twilight needs to start with something... uhh... smaller I guess?

      #375 I think I'm with Snips and Snails on this one. Fleur is looking mighty fine in that outfit.

      So many awesome pieces here.

      ReplyDelete
    26. Wait, mine's in the top 20? Awesome! Mine's #16 if anyone wants to see, feedback's always welcomed ^^

      Thanks again for doing this event Phoe, and awesome job everyone who's up there!

      ReplyDelete
    27. So much good art! Y'all done me proud

      ReplyDelete
    28. #131 made me laugh, partly because of the comment added to the image!

      ReplyDelete
    29. ALRIGHT! I made number 35!
      You have no idea how happeh it makes me to see that you like what I make, Phoe :D

      Now, onto day 3!

      ReplyDelete
    30. I missed the deadline by minutes!

      At least I saved myself the embarrassment of having other people see the atrocity that I hammered out in less than five hours. It looks like a ten year old got a hold of MS paint, but worse. I'm not even going to bother with today's challenge. I just don't have the tools or the skill.

      ReplyDelete
    31. @LemonLimeMan

      No, the submit site doesn't really like transparency. We're working on that. Unfortunately, Reinboom has a lot of real, actual work to do, so her time is limited. Really sorry about that...

      ReplyDelete
    32. I looked at all of them. Quite a cool set of pictures, this is.

      Would have loved to contribute, but the delay of the event has now caused it to be while I'm at college. (Can't draw ponies with a roommate lurking, and I don't have a scanner up here anyway.)

      With luck, I'll make it into day 5 or something.

      ReplyDelete
    33. Mine's 394, but I think I pushed too hard for a joke...

      ReplyDelete
    34. First comment btw, but i am #471, and i know i need work. Any tips? And what exactly is meant with 'a pony sparring'? Just a battle scene?

      (471 is push-ups, if you didn't understand.)

      ReplyDelete
    35. #423 Reporting in.
      I see a lot of great work in day 2. Keep it going!

    37. Good job everypony.

      ReplyDelete
    39. Yay my #400 made it in! Hooray for ponified Gunnery Sergeant Hartman!

      ReplyDelete
    40. #73 That's only because your MOUTH is bleeding. Not your fault, by the way.

      ReplyDelete
    41. Finally day 3 is here :D Wonder how many submissions there will be now that there's only 1 day instead of 2 weeks, lol. Defeated again by anti-transparent discrimination :P

      ReplyDelete
    42. Congratulations, everypony! Now for the actual 1-day deadlines ^^

      ReplyDelete
    43. #139 here, feedback is appreciated :D
      Lots off awesome and funny pics XD

      ReplyDelete
    44. I thought Numbers just dealt with Submission times, lol. Anywho, Number 438 reporting in from the deep south. Wish I was out of school so I could use my tablet, but unfortunately an hour afterschool was all I could scrounge up.

      Behold, the Reading Rainbow! (Curse you, Twi!)

      ReplyDelete
    45. Thanks for adding the last-minute submissions, I submitted mine 5 minutes before the deadline, and didn't see it at first.

      I completely missed yesterday's time, if anyone's interested here's my day 1 re-upload:

    49. *shakes fist at English teacher* You made me miss out on today's objective for an Essay... -_-

      Awesome ponies otherwise. Of course, most of them shutting out my quality of work.

      Good job everyone!

      Figures I'll skip Day 3 submission. Can't think of anything worth drawing there.

      Very good but nothing will be like #73 and the muffin queen.



      #75 brings up a go good point, what are the griffons doing on their side of the field? There's always two sides to war, plus chances for third parties.

      Of the several Mulan references #65is a nice highlight, but then again the muffin queen has wings.

      #318 Madness, this is Ponyville.

      #340 So many people doing the Star Wars bit, I also like #349.

      Number 361 actually has training against griffons and not each other for once.

      392 is incredibly suggestive.

      416 Pillow Fight.

      455 Touhou Pony!

      457 I'll get you a gun with training wheels on it.(Metal Arms was a good game and Krunk was awesome.)

    62. OK, I think I'll be able to comment on a few tonight

      @BlankFlankBrony
      That's neat. That pegasus is definitely in the zone right there. Well, you'd have to be if you don't want to wind up with a face full of goo.

      @Artsie Bee
      I'm not entirely sure what that pony's wearing, but it looks real cool.

      @TheMagicalFish
      Nice snapshot of these three in training
      #429 AJ definitely looks like she's ready to roll.
      #431 Fluttershy can't even bring herself to hit a picture of a face? That's kind of cute when you think about it.
      #435 Knowing Rarity, she's probably preparing a full out show with that sword.

      @Vera
      Hanging off a sling of some sorts. I take it Scoots is working on her flying in this one?

      @SonicRatchet
      Haha! Great comic. Twilight can't ever lay off the books. huh.

      @Dusty The Royal Janitor
      Wow. This is even funnier than yesterday's comic. This poor fellow is totally freaking out. Sounds like he was a hater in the human world. References galore. Love it.

      @Papyra Scribe
      You sure made me laugh. That's just so funny; ponies doing kegstands.

      @1amth3guy
      First comment? Awesome. Welcome aboard! I think pony sparring is just one pony doing like a sword fight with another pony or something along those lines. Now, for your drawing, you're off to a good start. Kind of looks like he's struggling with those push-ups. Lot of us are starting from square one, so just keep at it.

      @Jberg18
      This is funny as well. Only Derpy could screw up something that simple. At least I think it's simple

    64. CELESTIA FREAKING CURSE IT I MISSED THE DEADLINE BECAUSE THE SUBMIT SITE WOULDN'T WORK AND WHEN I TRIED AGAIN IT WENT THROUGH AND THEN FIVE MINUTES LATER I FOUND I HAD ALREADY MISSED THE DEADLINE!.

      /Canterlock

      I tried submitting at 7pm Central TIme (GMT -6) about three times and it wouldn't go through. I thought the deadline was 10pm PST because Day One's deadline was set in the PST timezone. Suddenly you're using EST? Ugh!

      You Americans and your time zones. USE GMT. It makes more sense for global users (especially Brits like me).

      I spent all afternoon drawing my picture from scratch, it feels like a wasted effort now. I'm extremely pissed off at the submission site AND the unclear deadlines.

      Oh, and funnily enough, this post doesn't even MENTION the deadline, just the day's requirement. What time am I supposed to be submitting my work by, now? Japan's local time?

      Excuse me while I bang my head against a brick wall in frustration. Stupid. Stupid. STUPID!

    69. @ #29: Oh hey, there's my day one submission! I didn't expect that to end up here...

      The one I submitted for today is 424, and I already see one thing I did wrong: the ponies are too fat. >_< It also took me waaay longer to draw then I think it should have... nearly 6 hours. I mean, if in the same amount of time, someone can draw #155 or #5, that tells me I'm doing something wrong.

      @Chaos15
      Very nice as well. Sure shows how hard basic training is.

      @Falgaia
      Nice use of the upcoming episode's theme. Training is more than physical after all. Something Rainbow should have known.

      @SnarkyShark
      Very interesting. If I understand correctly, did this pony just get punched off the cloud or something.

      @kilemeino
      LOL. For Derpy to be calling them ditzes, that's gotta mean something.

      @SketchyDee
      Wow. Aerial combat. Now that definitely shows training.

      @MyBoyJ
      Oh, man. You really nailed the expression on Derpy's face. That sure is motivation.

      @IkkouSoryu
      My thoughts precisely on this one. This came out nice. Didn't think Celestia's cutie mark was that hard to draw

      LOL. Target practice. Who hasn't done that before? Everything came together very well. If I may, try working on the bodies a little more.

      @EdgeofHalo
      Also very nice. And that's a very interesting nickname you've given Derpy. Considering the damage she did to town hall, it works pretty well.

      @Trekkie2063
      LOL. That poor ponies' expression is just priceless. And this is just training. Hope he shapes up in time for the actual battle.

      Nonsense, I think you captured Derpy's nature very well. Serious Derpy, on the other hand, provides to be tricky to draw right, even more so with the "mildly irritated and 'How do I hold all this mail?'" look I was shooting for.

      Thanks for your thoughts, I'll try and practice getting the proportions right before I start my entry for day 3. One other problem I had was that whenever I tried to use Sumopaint's fill tool to color an area, there would be a grey area between where the color ends and where the outline begins, meaning I would have to go over each area with a pencil tool to fill in blank spots that, while only a few pixels wide, were very noticeable when they appeared in bulk. You can still see some of these spots on Derpy if you zoom in a bit.

      dueling?

    146. You know, for an artist training ground there's almost no criticism, makes me wonder why we are doing it in the first place. So I want to start a healthy trend and scrutinize my own scribbles. Because the more I look the more I realize how much it blows (also counts as TL/DR version).

      Let's start easy and point out Celestia mistakes. First and foremost, her tail sticks out of her butthole - pony anatomy fail, it should have been higher. Second, wings are drawn badly - lack of shading makes it hard to distinguish front wing from back one. Third, her accessories are also poorly shaded, no volume in them. No body shading also. And last, her expression is lacking - I wanted her to look flabbergasted, while this looks like mild amusement at best.

      Next, Duke figure, oh boy. The biggest problem here is that it's just human face stuck on pony body. I did add muzzle and pony ear, but the rest of facial structure is human, which gives uncanny valley vibes. I should've tried to adapt it to equine skull or something. Next, his shotgun just sticks from behind at weird angle - I threw it in because I needed a weapon there, should've make Duke hold it with free foreleg. Duke's left hindleg looks wrong and I can't point the cause, some proportion is botched. No body shading which also means no muscle volume, the only things I tried to shade right are shotgun and shoulder belt. And last, his cutiemark is too big.

      Not much to say about overall editing - I didn't even try to clean up text.

      Verdict: "Rated F for Fuckballs"

    147. Does telekinetic magic with a pistol count as proper "dueling"? My jam-filled water baloons are just plain silly D:

      Not sure what is up. Might what to contact phoe via email and discribe what you are doing to send it. I have to eat lunch and then get started on the second half of my picture. Hope everything works out!

    149. Mine is #1! Yeaaaaaaaaaaa.

      I've never drawn a griffon before. I better start practicing...

      ReplyDelete
    150. There done with Lunch and will get started with the griffon. Hope I have enough time to finish it. 6 hours should be enough time.

      ReplyDelete
    151. What's the hour this is due? On second thought don't tell me. That'll motivate me to get it done sooner. Just need to finish drawing Griffon-that-sounds-like-it-might-be-Gilda.

    152. #189 here. I didn't think to draw a griffon, actually, so my Day 3 submission will have two ponies dueling one another instead. About all I could do in the time I had =P

    153. @CityFlyer502 Oh! Thankies!
      Since you couldn't tell what the pony as wearing, here's the human character the pony is based on: http://dft.ba/-maplestoryevan
      (The guy, not that it makes too much difference.)
      Seriously though, I'm glad you thought it was cool~

    154. Almost done. I just need to put the wings on the Griffon and I will be done. Then I will add the background.

    156. Probably my best pony artwork has been produced for Day 3.

    157. My work is finished at last. Some lineart i've made.
      Wanted to do some coloring in GIMP, but decided to go with plain lineart, as it looked nice already. And i'm just tired.
      If i had more free time i could upload a colored version.
      Oh well, you can never have enough free time :).

      So want to see works of others ^^.

    158. Okay done with the Griffon. Now the background. I actually saw a pretty nice sky the morning that I saw when I went to jury duty and when I got back from jury duty that were actually pretty similar which I think I am going to draw.

    159. "Database Failure Occurred"...

      Well, it took me some good hours of my life to actually finish drawing/editing/raging/uploading my image and now I'm not being able to send it thanks to a certain Database Failure.

      Tables, here I come.

    160. I just finished the background Gonna upload it and see if I can send it in before the deadline.

    161. OK, done with Day 3's entry. Hopefully the continuing saga of Silver Lining the Dragoon's struggle will continue in the next batch of pictures.

    162. There just uploaded it.Relax and catchup on stuff time.

    163. The site won't even load for me... *sigh* not this again.

      (A million thank yous for putting my Day 2 image in the post, by the way.)

    164. Funnest part of my Day 2- misusing math variables (379), if they were variables at all (Integration is the ONLY variable).

    165. I have to stop cutting it so close. Every time I sit down to do it, it takes a lot long than I think. This time the sketch din't take very long at all, but I think is one of my bests. Then I did the best GIMP work I have ever done. Completion time 2-3 hours. This ATG has been a big help for me and my art skills, and I want to thank EQD for it, especially Phoe and Reinboom. I also feel I must apologize (again) for having problems with uploading and having to email 2 out of the 3 times I've done it.

      ReplyDelete
    166. these are just awesome. It must take a lot of work to sort all of them. Oh, and random question, can you submit stuff even if you haven't submitted before? sorry for by noobiness

      ReplyDelete
    167. The site loaded up, and accepted my image on the first try. Success!

    168. Wow, that's awesome Phoe! that Fallout reference made me Squee. Now, back to the photos so I can re read.

    169. The uploader's not working for me ;_;
      It was fine the past two days and hates me today.
      I hope sending it by email is okay...

    170. Finally done! And with 30 mins left on the clock (I hope - noticed EqD's time already says past 7pm, but it should be 6:30pm PST now. Had the great idea of drawing a comic for this one.

      Fixing my dA's description and tags then off to bed - 2 am and drawing ponies, sheesh.
