Dang, even this one hit me right in the feels when I was first compiling the pictures for the day. You guys really know how to get creative with these prompts, don't you? We all have things that we fear, fear of change, fear of failure, but sometimes we have to face our fears head on and hope for the best. Sometimes they aren't all as scary as you think they are.
Another day means we have another 62 ponies which means we now have 2562 ponies in total! We're getting closer and closer to 3k guys! We can do it!
For today I notice with a lot of our submitted pictures we don't get a lot of background action going on so tonight I would like you guys to try expanding beyond ponies and try to put them in some surroundings as tonight I'd like you all to Draw a pony Enjoying Nature / Draw a pony exploring the great outdoors.
As always you can find our submitter here.
Animations do not animate when sent through the compiler! Include some text with your submitted animation that people should follow your links to the source to see the animation in full.
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!

1 We've Made Our Mark - SupermarineSpitfire
For me, the high point in the fandom would be when we collectively saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders finally identify their purpose in life and consequently acquire their cutie marks. Here is their emotional response to having received their cutie marks, as originally drawn by the fan artist Dvixie.

2 Reflections of the Past - Pixel Grip
Originally I was thinking of doing something with Luna and Nightmare Moon but I’d already done it before so I instead opted for the most emotional part of What Lies Beneath (at least for me). While it’s a very short scene and while she’s not my favorite of the Young Six, Ocellus is so cute and kind that hearing her cry gets me right in the gut.

13 Day XXIV - Jederick
Of course, Rainbow ordered vegetarian tacos. And of course Pony Mexico exists. Life isn't worth living without tacos.

18 My end? - Ragmo
I don't know what to expect, but i'm 100% certain the final episode will be huge; atleast on the emotional side.
The fandom will take a hit, but it will life on - we have a lot of awesome artist, writer, musicians,... who fuel the fandom; and will continue to keep us running, as long as we are supporting them :)
For my OC? I don't intend on letting her go :) so far she doesn't even have a name... so i CAN'T let her go :)
So... and End? for the show - yes; for us as fandom? i'm sure we can keep it going :)

25 We are one in the same - t72b
Somewhere, as if on the very edge of her senses twilight could hear something. Almost feel it in her very soul. Something as if a thousand tiny hard voices were whispering to her, coaxing her.
No Twilight, you are the ladybugs
Fun fact, this picture is sort of based on personal experience. I have a an old wound that never really healed properly. So I have a couple square inches on my back that constantly feels like there are bugs crawling under or over the skin. most of the time its very light tingle and i dont notice much, but others its quite uncomfortable, almost painful. like a very large beetle crawling across the skin.

26 Matt Ryan's Nightmare - Alexander Williams
Matt Ryan’s Nightmare
For those who don’t know the story, the Manelanta Falcons were beating the New Equestria Patriots in Pony Bowl 51 by a score of 28-3. With 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter, the game looked secure for Matt Ryan’s squad. However, Tom Brady made a remarkable comeback and won the game 34-28 in overtime.

Oh no! Trixie forgot to put on her hat and cape before curtain call. She's completely naked! In front of her adoring fans. What a terrible happenstance!

42 Ashiok, Nightmare of Nightmares - phallen1
Following up on my Magic the Gathering crossover from day 15. Ashiok, a Planeswalker that induces nightmares and feeds on the resulting terror. It must have followed Chandra and Jaya to the pony plane, and now Chandra must stand against Ashiok, that her fiery light can prevent his darkness from blotting out the land...

44 Horsemeat - Frith
Coming face to face with systematic and perpetual genocide, is that nightmarish enough? And like with Rwanda, pleading with the UN to do something will get you at best a rebuke.
As usual with trying to draw anything remotely original, I'm having trouble tightening up my pony anatomy. Behold the cyclops. 9_9

Wanted to draw Luna and Nightmare Moon.
Completely ran out of time though, so it's just Luna...

53 When Your Nightmare Finds You - Pone-Dancer
Eyeris is terrified of meeting a skeletal version of herself, and she dreams of these meetings often. Sometimes it's hard to tell if it's really happening, or if it's a dream. She's not sure what this creature wants, but she hopes it'll eventually go away.

I did not have access to my scanner for this prompt, so the image quality is lower than it should be. I will upload a scanned copy of this drawing to the linked album when I get the chance.

60 A Demon's Wrath - TaichiKeaton
The raiders learned a harsh lesson from trying to deceive Belle, namely to never incur the wrath of a demon pony who happens to be a princess from Tartarus.
