Hello once again my dear friends! And many friends indeed as our ponies were able to meet up and chat with a lot of others today or blend in to the scenery for the more covert types out there. Now that you've had a chance to draw more than one pony I hope you all are finding yourselves at least more comfortable doing so. Well done!
Today we managed to pull in a total of 141 ponies with our blendy chatty ponies giving us 1546 ponies total! Keep it up guys!
Now we move onto a prompt that should be especially pleasing to some (with a secondary prompt I think will help those not too thrilled with the first). For as long as the show has been around we've had people fascinated with putting our ponies into relationships so our prompt for today is to Draw a pony in love / Draw a pony crushing on somepony.
Best of luck my friends! You can find our submitter here.
Remember, our compiler is up a few hours even after this post goes up so feel free to submit your submission even though this post is up!
Check on after the break for our full gallery!

Derpy got a status update ...
Hi guys !
Equestria Dailys Newbie Artist Training Ground keeps me busy. This time the motto gave me a hard time to get an idea.
I like the Derpy in that high society dress of yesterdays entry. So I put Derpy in a high class party talking to Fluer Dis Lee.
Hopefully Derpy find a topic besides her loved muffins ^^

If Twilight gets a new crown, we have to do something with the old one - Will it Blend?
I know it's not exactly what was requested... but that poped into my mind at first :)

23 Let's be dramatic together, shall we? - LennyStendhal13
Rarity: “Let’s be dramatic together, shall we?�
Roseluck: “Of all the things that could happen, this is the. Worst. POSSIBLE. THING!�
Rarity: “The horror! THE HORROR!�
Roseluck: “How was that?�
Rarity (calm): “Oh, darling, that was parfait, also considering that you’re still an amateur: you have talent, keep practicing. What about me?�.
Roseluck (astonished and admired): “It was awesome! One could really feel the pathos: you really are the drama queen as they say!�
Rarity (flattered): “Oh, come on, stop that! But don’t really stop…�
Because friendship isn’t only about laughing together, but also (when necessary) about freaking out together ;P

You still aren't convinced, so you once again read the documents the mare presents you with: "I am a researcher and I am allowed in anywhere in the Palace Library. Ps. I am very cute.". Idly directing the adorable mare to the forbidden part of the library you wonder why such official documents include details about the holders appearance. You shrug and soon forget about the whole thing.

38 On the Way to a Tea Party - Grim Ponka
This was part of a combined challenge. The first challenge was the ATG prompt, the second part was to draw a specific pony/ponies (given at random) and the third part was to make a picture using a random 5 color palette only. I loved doing this challenge, it was fun and got me to think more about colors and the like.

When I saw the prompt was for "blending in," this was the first thing I thought of.
I wonder how many other people had the same idea.

Sorry I missed the past few days. I went on vacation to DC and one of our destinations was the Spy Museum so I'm kind of obsessed with spies right now.

It's really just a poneleon blending into the environment (or at least I tried to while making the dead line!)
I really gotta get faster at drawing so I can actually colour these in.

101 Mingle and ready to Single - Binky T.
So, the first thing that came to mind was the saying "single and ready to mingle". I got the idea from a party I was at today, and why Twilight and Quibble? Well I could imagine Dash taking her to the next DareCon and having her meet Quibble, though not quite on the best occasion.
Fun Fact: Due to how busy the party was, I nevery noticed until I started coloring I mixed up single and mingle. It actually makes sense if she did have a wee bit too much hard cider.

… and that my friends is why we must remain committed to our way of life and our ideals! We are surrounded by enemies, enemies who wish us to fail as they have. They want to point and say “HA! You have the same weaknesses as us!� But to them I say, NO! We are united, we are strong, and we are equal! Those qualities make us invincible, and just. We will succeed, and we will welcome those unfortunates to still bear their mark of shame into our town, and to the path of the righteous. My dear friends, Only in equality can we truly be free and happy, and only here, in our own town can we have true friendship!

138 Wrestling is Magic: prompt #8: Gotta Work the Crowd - Jameson Ethan
Commentator:
"Well, it looks like Rocket Tier is enjoying the shadows more than sharing in his sister's vanity(?), as he is still able to chit-chat with some of the fans at ringside. Although, there is nothing casual about the gravity of this match, Rocket Tier needs to get his head back into the game before he--wait a mintue, where had Spotlight Splash gone?! She ducked out from the light of her very own star! Could it be guiding her?!"
Well, it was interesting to fit this spot in the match but i think it works, but in "kayefabe" why did Rocket Tier take his focus off of Spotlight Splash? (Shhh, be quiet, it's fine.) I missed an opportunity to put in another cameo, or put in some signs, but the lighting was fun to try out.
