Well my friends, here we are at Day 29. The ATG all but reached its conclusion save for a couple more of the traditional prompts we use to end the event every year. It has been a great run and you all have made me very proud over the course of these 30 odd days. Even now I find things to be amazed at such as our header tonight, submitted by an artist who has never shared their work before until they decided to give today's prompt a try and show their art to the world.
That is what the ATG is all about and I hope like our brave artist here those of you who participated, even for a single day, got something out of this year's event that you can take to heart.
For our prompt today we managed another 81 ponies which brings us up to 3831 ponies in total. The 4k mark is still within reach everyone!
As I mentioned up above, our final prompts are usually traditional ones we use to end the ATG with except this time around I was given a great idea early on by one of the artists participating. As the ATG is about growth they wondered why don't we have artists redraw an earlier piece of theirs to show their progress and I thought that was a great idea.
So for today's prompt I would like you all to Redraw an earlier piece from the ATG or if you're a veteran artist redraw one of your early pieces / Draw as many of our prompts as possible in one drawing.
Find a list of our prompts after the break!
As always our submitter can be found here.
New Makeup Day submitter is here.
Good luck everyone!

Oh no; Death visits our hero to take her with him :O
Luckely even the grim reaper has his TOS. And it seems they recently changed... so... if she doesn't accept them... everything is fine?

27 The Journey to Submission - Versatex
For years and years, some stupid anxiety has kept me from sharing anything publicly. Then yesterday, I came across the Artist Training Grounds event on Equestria Daily, and I decided it was time to shake it off and just dive in head-first.
The first time trying something scary is always the hardest, and so I feel like this branch of the journey has ended by reaching that point. I thought Apple Bloom fits the theme of overcoming fears to do what you really want to do, and so here she is contemplating her own submission to ATG =).

29 It's So Quiet - AaronMk
"The contrast between [Tarkovsky's] Solaris and Stalker is clear. In Solaris we get an Id machine, an object which realizes your nightmares, desires, fears. Even before you ask for it, as it were. In Stalker, it's the opposite. A zone where your desires, deepest wishes get realized on condition that you are able to formulate them, which of course, you're never able; which is why everybody fails once you get there in the center of The Zone."
-Slavoj Zizek on Stalker, Pervert's Guide to Cinema.

33 Meeting the Reaper - dafiltafish
I never liked that the Grim Reaper is always portrayed as scary beyond belief, perhaps on the way to whatever life awaits after this one, he/she just chats with the recently deceased and prepares them for the next chapter in their existence.

Rapidsnap tried to play nice, but Calpain didn't listen, so his hoof was forced and left Calpain hanging for his life from the cliff. Will Calpain survive?

Little macabre, little meh, but I could not devote a lot of time to it today. I at least tried out that thing where the outlines somewhat match the colors. A visit to the tutorial links is in my future. Good night.

This is my drawing for the Artist Training Grounds on Equestria Daily!
Today's prompt was to: Draw a pony reaching the end of their journey / Draw a pony meeting their end.
So I drew Winter reaching a city far away from her home!

Quick last minute sketch since shit came up tonight. I can imagine after the end of a long adventure, finally publishing a new book is a little weight lifted from Ms.Yearlings's withers.
