I feel this little comic sums up exactly how it feels to have either accidentally overslept or set your alarm for the wrong time on a given day. There is nothing quite like the utter panic that rushes through you when you're late for something super important and given how much of a rush there is to finish up pictures before the deadline I'm sure many of you have felt the same way.
Still, you guys have stuck to it after 20 days and I couldn't be more proud! We may have lost some along the way, but it's a hard 30 days and sometimes motivation and time just aren't in the cards.
For today we brought in a nice haul of 90 ponies which brings us up to 2981 ponies altogether! Nice work everyone! I'm sure after today we'll breach 3000!
Speaking of today, we have reached out second Makeup Day! Time to take a breather, catch up on old prompts, or maybe try your hand again at prompts you particularly liked.
You can find our Makeup Submitter here. The full list of prompts is on the submitter page!
Good luck everyone!

19 Timed - Zypdv-HP
Convenient cubic clock.
This is, like, the third time I draw my ponysona doing paper at a desk for an entry. I have literally no idea.

24 ATG 20 - Outta Time - PixelGrip94
So this is the sequel to my drawing from day 17. As opposed to Pixel (and by extension, me) succeeding in watching, playing, and reading all the media he's got backlogged, he instead attempts to cram it all in on one sitting...all in vain.

26 Late For Work in Prato, Italy - OctaScratchRock
The city of Prato, Tuscany, Italy is gorgeous, but it's certainly a tight city to get through if you're in a rush.

32 Out Of Time - Matthew
Travellers know well of how time can run at different speeds across the multiverse. Some have even travelled backwards in time.
There are limitations on the where and when that you can re-enter a universe.
After struggling to retrace his steps back to his home universe, one such traveller has a shock in store.

38 Rarity being Fashionably Late - Starlight Flux
By some coincidence I got home late and ran out of time to ink this sketch, which was quite fitting for today's prompt. I'll have to do the inking another day when I get the time.

Dr Whooves fought bravely to defeat the Cyberponies. However he was badly injured and his current body is now out of time and has to regenerate much to Derpys dispair.

46 Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds 20 - meto30
Of course, Gustave could cut the pony cooks some slack as they have little to no experience cooking meat. As the guests of honour were both omnivores and one guest had a particular love for meat, the menu for this dinner includes a number of meat dishes. This was troublesome news for the pony staff in the royal kitchens... but that does not excuse them in the eyes of the chef. They are supposed to be the finest cooks in Canterlot - they should act like it.

I am really loving this method of drawing. It's especially fun with a single direct light source.

It seems like every time I draw Nicole in the fall, she's really stressed out. This time, I think she might have actually cracked.

58 The All Mare - Frith
The All Mare, Epona. This pony ran out of time, as all living things must do, eventually. You can find out what equinologist Dr. Clarity Quest has unearthed about this mysterious mare and a description of the remains in situ in Twilight's journal at twilightpony.dreamwidth.org in the February 17 2016 entry. Hint: she was really bloody old.

62 Approaching Deadline - B.J. Dazzle
So Doctor is not the pony they are looking for, but seems to play a crucial role in... whatever this whole thing is supposed to be. Unfortunately, they're going to have to pick up the pace; according to Dr. TIME, they're starting to RUN LATE on the whole "deliver this today" thing...

72 Fluttershy in Wonderland - Benjamin Eric Berlin
Fluttershy after a very curious bunny who is running too fast and might hurt himself, also he should watch where he's going instead of looking at wait is that a pocket watch? I hope that this is not "too late". Also more wonderland ideas sure to follow depending on prompts or just for the heck of it whichever comes first.

90 Buying Time - Binky T.
As he escaped the scene, he looked behind him to see that his heinous act had not gone unnoticed. He saw a group of nearby witnesses on his tail, and try as he might he began to go into a frantic gallop. Not that it would matter, all he was doing is buying himself time. Would he like it or not, he would get caught soon. Now or later, everypony knew of his crime and there was no escaping it. All that mattered now was when that time would come.

School uniform? Check! Toast in mouth? Check! School backpack? In a manner of speaking, check! Best friend waiting for you to catch up with her? Check! My little pony, you've got yourself an anime schoolgirl cliche! All you need is some lucky guy to crash into as you approach the school.
