Newbie Artist Training Grounds IX: Day 7
by Calpain
Every body has a little bit of a right to boast every once and awhile, it's when you do it for reasons that are unwarranted and frequently that it gets a bit out of hand. I feel though that after participating in this year's NATG though you have at least a little reason to boast for trying something new or honing skills you already had. Once again, well done everyone!
Of our boastful ponies we managed to draw in 120 ponies bringing us up to 849 ponies in total! We're quickly approaching 4 digits everyone!
For today's prompt we're, possibly, a little darker. Every pony has their secrets and fears of those finding out about them and the things they'll do to keep them secret. So for today's prompt I would like you all to Draw a pony’s darkest secret / Draw a sneaky pony.
As usual 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 to our submitter!
Also, if you are late submitting and the submitter is closed, don't just throw your pic into the next day's submitter. Wait for a Makeup Day to submit!

Dash & Scootaloo Music: Evdog - Open Skies (feat. Francis Vace) (Covering EnsionD) [Alternative Rock]
by MakenshiThe famous Open Skies from EnsionD and Evdog gets a new cover, featuring the delightful vocals of Francis Vace! The new instrumental is just as fluffy as all the vocals happening in the track, and it's a real bliss to let us be carried through the clouds by the soft and emotional vibes from this much wonderful cover...

This is not just a music release, but a story release as well! Following the hoofsteps of the past project "Journey of the Spark", Forest Rain teamed up with Wubcake to bring us a musical enactment of that certain tragic part of the story where some of Twilight's character depth unfolds, with amazing VA work and emotional violin doing wonders to make for an all-out experience of the original story!

Newbie Artist Training Grounds IX: Day 6
by Calpain
Ooo, I have had this happen to me sometimes in games. You're down to the very last and just when you think that you are about to lose you manage somehow to clinch it! A fantastic feeling I must say. And a feeling many of you put into your drawings tonight, whether it was for a win at the doors of defeat or the exhilaration of following your hopes and dreams, a stark contrast to our previous prompt!
While I admit this prompt was a little wordy and we did have a special going on today that drew people's attention, we still managed to pull in 115 ponies today, bringing us up to 734 ponies altogether! Very nice work everyone!
For today's prompt you could say it is a bit of a continuation of the previous prompt if you want to take it that way as for today I'd like you guys to Draw a boasting pony / Draw making a name for themselves.
As always, our submitter is 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!

The My Little Pony Baking Book we posted a few days ago apparently alerted the company that created it to our crazy fandom right here. They've decided to give away five of them to the masses here on EQD.
The only thing you need to do is answer a bunch of pony-based trivia questions about Friendship is Magic. Stuff I'm pretty sure most of you probably know off the top of your head~
Head on down below the break for the details, along with the questions for you to copy paste and send over.

If you haven't followed the last few years of pony chan-boards, everyone's favorite self-insert Anon has been filly-fied and forced into all sorts of wild situations. Consider this one another of those, in side-scrolling Castlevania style platforming game style.
Filly Astray already has a demo you can play over here. The movement and animations are fluid and the sprites look great. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!

That badass Ember drawing from Drawfriend #3010 is now in speedpaint form if you want to see how it was made. It's probably one of the best drawings of the year in my humble opinion.

As the show wraps up it looks like we're getting more and more comments from those who worked on the show, this time from Tara Strong. She talks about why she loves the show and how much it has done for people around the world as well as makes a comment on the recent inclusion of Scootaloo's aunts to the show.
It's nothing earthshaking, but it is nice to hear from Tara Strong about the show now that it is ending.
The article also has information about Rainbow Roadtrip so if you have not watched the special yet it would be best to keep away for now.
Get it below! And thanks to Jeffery for sending it in!

Newbie Artist Training Grounds IX: Day 5
by Calpain
It's always hard to pick a header for the NATG posts but as I was quickly scrolling through entries these haunting eyes just made me freeze. If that isn't a broken pony then I have no idea what one looks like. I want to particularly congratulate you all on how well you all did with what could be interpreted as a very emotional prompt and your portrayals of raw emotion whether it was anger, sadness, frustration or, well, being broken.
A tough world we've put our ponies into right off the bat, haven't we? In total we managed to put 137 ponies through all sorts of trouble, bringing our grand total up to 618 ponies! Well done everyone, we'll be crossing that 1000 picture mark soon!
So, sometimes as I like to do here on the NATG is I like to give themes I feel are contrasts to the day before, to let you guys explore both ends of the spectrum. While we had ponies that were at their breaking point and the end of their rope, today I would like you guys to draw something a bit more optimistic: Draw a pony snatching victory from the jaws of defeat / Draw a pony following their hopes and dreams!
As usual, our submitter can be found here!

As some of you have noticed while wandering around the ponynet, screencaps of an unreleased episode have started to sneak into twitter feeds and instagram timelines all over the place. It's looking like China has released the 14th episode early, long before however many months this hiatus will last.
As always, be wary if you want to avoid spoilers. They will be everywhere now.
Thanks to Stone Prophet, Sindral, and everyone else for the heads up.

Rotten Tomatoes has popped up a new editorial covering some of the best of the best animation of the last century. Everything from the classics like Scooby Doo to the newer stuff have a spot on it if they are any kind of good. Anime is also included, so the pool is pretty huge on what they are pulling from.
Pony pulled in at the #64 slot. It doesn't seem to go in any kind of specific order. You can find the full list over here. -

A new compilation album just dropped in the community, so it's time to go to that Bandcamp page and download the album and listen to it like "this is what our big and creative community is doing!!" Many talented pony musicians contributed with really stellar tracks (ok ok I stop), with one of them playing at Sweet Apple Acres' praised Cider Party right now. Many of the tracks have been uploaded individually on YouTube by their respective creators already, and I recommend going to every of these lovely musicians' channels and subbing to them and telling them how much you appreciate what they do! In the meantime, go grab this amazing compilation album from Bandcamp here and let us partake in blissful pony tunes together!

Newbie Artist Training Grounds IX: Day 4
by Calpain
We all need a bit of guidance sometimes and thankfully in this day and age we have more resources than ever before to find our way and learn new things. So far I hope that is what you're experiencing with the NATG! I have been reading your comments and I have noticed quite a few of you mentioning how you are trying out new methods and techniques this year which has me excited to see what you lot come up with.
Speaking of what you awesome artists were able to come up with, you all came up with 151 ponies which brings us up to a total of 481 ponies! Excellent work everyone! Let's keep pushing towards 1000!
Now for tonight's prompt, I figured it would be a good one for some of you that mentioned they were just finishing up school for the summer as well as for our NATG veterans that know just how stressful this event can get at times. For tonight I would like you guys to Draw a pony reaching the breaking point / Draw a pony at the end of their rope.

This is an update on and a retraction of an earlier posted article.
A few hours ago we posted an article saying Joey, a.k.a. PecachPictures and creator of several pieces of fandom content had passed away. This information was based on a tweet made by the PecachPictures account and several texts sent to his friends showing Joey in the ER and claiming he passed away.
However, while it seems Joey was indeed in the ER, new information has come to light that shows the death announcement might have been false. As of this moment we aren't sure if this situation came to be because of misinformation, overreaction or someone being malicious.
For now we have pulled the original article and will update this post with any new solid information.
UPDATE: Some good news! It seems a few of of Joey's friends have have been in direct contact with him.
UPDATE 2: Video explanation after the break.
JOEY IS ALIVE— Alto Scribe@Home (@PopPunkAlto) 27 juni 2019
I just talked to him on the phone and he has no idea what's going on. He said he'll have a video up soon to set the record straight.
I'm pretty positive someone who knows him was involved in faking his death.My last comment for now; i just spoke with Joey on the phone and he is alive.— Pastel Bubblegum💖💜🦄 (@eyp0ne) 27 juni 2019
He isn't is the best physical condition but has assistance coming asap to help him update everyone officially

Ataraxia's masterpieces from his recently released album Lost and Found feature many musical delights, including such gorgeous vocals and masterful piano play. But that's not all, as the tracks are meant to convey something personal too that is part of the album's concept, AND the tracks have got a MLP story to them too, explained in every individual description! Check out the previously released tracks from the album, Paravoyant and Spirals!
