A whole long time ago in 2013 JoshSaysStuff released the original version of this song. Now, FritzyBeat has teamed up with him to put together a more stripped down acoustic version of the track. Fritzy's vocals are gorgeous as always and work wonderfully paired with the warm feel of the instrumental. Check it out below!

For many of us the conventions in the fandom have provided wonderful memories, chances to meet new and current friends, mingle with members of the show staff and the community at large all while enjoying panels, merchandise, and the cities they take place in.
With the closing of BronyCon, the largest and oldest pony convention, many of us have memories of the convention, whether you were there during the very early days in New York or were a frequent visitor to Baltimore. I still remember my first visit to BronyCon in 2012: my very first convention, let alone pony convention.
This brings me to a new project that has been announced called the BronyCon Memorial Project whose goal is to collect your pictures and memories of the convention and share your thoughts on what made BronyCon so special to you.
Check on after the break for the full details.

Amazon has listed up a new book starring Pinkie Pie as she busts out 50 recipes covering everything from cakes and cookies to pizzas. I'm more amazed at that cake on the cover though. It looks so good...
Head on down below the break for the description. Or just go get it over here. Expect an April 2019 release date. Yeah... it's kinda far out.

Love is a powerful emotion which can be amazing, cute, funny and humorous at the same time. Seeing so many of you practicing your skills with emotions as well as drawing multiple ponies at once was a joy and I'm glad so many of you participated! Well done!
For our love struck prompt we managed to pull in 153 ponies bringing us to 1403 ponies in total! We're slowly rising towards that 2000 mark gang.
As with most things in life there is a flip side, where there is love there is also hate and villainy. As FiM has portrayed a wide variety of antagonists over the years I think it's a good idea to give them a time to shine, letting you not only try another emotional state but to possibly draw one of our many villains interesting body designs. That's why for today's prompt I'd like you to Draw a villainous pony / Draw a pony with issues.
As always our submitter can be found here.
Remember, our compiler is up a few hours even after this post goes up so feel free to submit your submission to our submitter!
Our Makeup Day submitter is currently online too, you can find it here.
Good luck everyone!

For some reason I just love the episodes where Rarity and Applejack get to hang out. They're pretty much opposites, but they're both hard workers and the elements of honesty and generosity just go well together if you think about it.
Morning everyone! Time to wake up to a new day.

We haven't had a new track from Turquoise in quite some time, but it's well worth the wait with this touching acoustic piece about the Doctor and Derpy Hooves. The vocals are truly a joy to listen to and the way they're mixed helps to create a vibrant atmosphere throughout the track. Check it out below!

The things that Starlight makes poor Sunburst go through. Hopefully she'll be satisfied soon and you both can get off the ship before you end up in a Youtube video.

Oddly enough, Discovery Family's animatic for this one hasn't hit Youtube yet. The upcoming "Road to Friendship" episode has a new one revealing around 50 seconds of glorious Glimmy and Trixie bantering. Let the shipping fuel begin~

Following on from theYakyakistan theme that Elias Frost composed a couple of months ago, we now have a folk song done in a clever imagining of what would be the traditional Yak style. Inspired by the traditional Yak instrument that lends the piece its name, it's got plenty of great atmosphere throughout. Check it out below!

StrachAttack was tearing it up at BronyCon's Bronypalooza event over the weekend, and to celebrate he's put together a new remix of The Spectacle. His heavy bass style suits the vocals exceptionally well, and the awesome sound design on show here is joined by some sweet vocal chops too. Check it out below!

While Equestria is a relatively peaceful place our ponies know how to kick butt when needed and you all delivered with ponies of all sorts facing the dangers of the place they call home. Who knew that pastel colored equines could steel themselves so well in the face of adversity?
With today's prompt we brought in 135 ponies bringing our total to 1250 ponies altogether. Excellent job everyone!
Now that we are entering into our second week of the ATG I figure it's time to get our ponies mingling a little bit. Not only do you get some experience drawing expressions of ponies interacting with one another but also put your drawing speed skills to the test as you draw multiple ponies. As such we're going to start with a strong emotion and one that is popular in the fandom: Draw a pony in love / Draw a pony ship(ping).
As usual our submitter can be found here.

Starlight on a skateboard? I can believe it considering her past. She probably tried all sorts of things to fill the void after Sunburst left.
Morning gang! Time to chat.

Whilst initially primarily producing chilled out drum & bass music, RoomVR has somewhat shifted towards orchestral works lately. That's no bad thing, as his compositional abilities are in full evidence throughout this gorgeous piece. Ambient sound effects play the perfect foil to beautiful piano melodies, with some soft strings and other elements joining in every now and then. It really does feel like a gentle stroll through a forest. Check it out below!

Apples Apples Apples. And an OC, cause OC are cool. Though OC anthro might be pushing the boundary on pony and just switching it to horse furry. I have no idea yet.
We got a bunch of cartoon horses as humans and anthros below regardless! Go get em.

In a surprise turn of events as BronyCon wraps up for 2018 they have announced that BronyCon 2019 will be their final event, closing their doors after so many years and joyous occasions. BronyCon was my first convention, let alone pony convention, back in 2012 and it was what got me addicted to the convention scene for several years.
Thanks so much for your years of service BronyCon staff. While it will be sad to see the convention go we look forward to the amazing four days of events you all will certainly plan for 2019.
Check on after the break for the official announcement.

It's time to put your hooves up and make a wish, because Silvertune and John Kenza have teamed up for an absolutely fantastic remix of one of Pinkie Pie's most uplifting show songs! The happy vibes hit right away and don't stop all the way through the track as the bright and fun synths help the vocals to make a thoroughly joyful experience. Check it out below!

It looks like we have a new project coming out of TheInvertedShadow starring an animating mare named Paper Cut, and it gets a little crazy. The description explains it:
Paper Cut is a struggling animator, desperate to find a new idea to better help her work and keep her job intact. Little did she know that what she would find would send her on a journey of both wonder...and terror.
Head on down below to watch chapter one!

It's been forever since we've seen anything from JanAnimations so this was a surprise when a friend of mine linked it to me on Discord: A proper sendoff to the "little colt that you all came to love" according to Jan.
Bittersweet, but still, it's nice to get a proper conclusion from Jan and the promise of a new era according to him. Thanks for all the fun, Jan! We look forward to what the future may bring you.
Get the music video after the break. Thanks to Ardent and Matt for sending it in!

Rockin that season 8 spoiler tag on this one! She can't not go up though.
They may have only been revealed at an SDCC panel so far, but that doesn't mean the fandom can't deliver anyway! Our newest Kirin Autumn Blaze has been plushified in record time by Legadema over on Deviant Art. Now that, is skill.

Description: Celestia extends her stay on Earth, which means you need a lot more Fanta. To save money, you take Celestia with you to Costco. Naturally, Celestia insists on coming along. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

It's been a long while, but we've got a new tune from Foozogz! Full of uplifting sound design and high octane energy it's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from him. There's some cool vocal stuff every now and then, especially during the break, but the focus from this tune is thoroughly on the wonderful synths and their melodic power. Check it out below!

Over time as an artist or any sort of creator it makes sense to create what is familiar, what is comfortable for us. To truly grow though we must be willing to expand beyond what we do know and tackle the unfamiliar. Yesterday's exercise in drawing a pony as another species was certainly an attempt to take you all outside of the comfort zone of colorful horses and try out some new anatomy as well as put your creative spin on how a character would look different if they had been a different species.
Throughout the day I noticed a huge range of different species from snakes to bats to deer to canines and cats and even vehicles to name a few and I'm once again overjoyed to see how you all tackled this prompt head on. Well done everyone!
With that said we managed a nice 139 ponies bringing our total up to 1115 ponies in total, blowing past the 1000 picture mark! Awesome work everyone, especially with so many folks at both GalaCon and BronyCon this weekend.
Now to get down to business. We've done some relatively tame prompts so far, but we know Equestria isn't necessarily a calm and peaceful place all the time. There is adventure, baddies, and danger lurking in the dark corners of the world. So for tonight's prompt I'm giving you guys a chance to potentially explore a darker side of Equestria by Drawing a pony in danger / Drawing a pony living life on the edge.

Dashie looks pretty cool as a dragon! Think she would be able to fly just as well even though she has that extra bulk? Even if it slows her down and she isn't the fastest among ponies I bet she would be the fastest among dragons at least!

This track represents a marked step up in quality from Steely Hooves, who's been rocking around for a while now. With a vocal style that somewhat reminds me of WoodLore, we get a touching piece about Rainbow Dash giving Scootaloo a helping hand. It's backed up really well by some nice guitar-work. Check it out below!
