Our poor ponies, having us look through their darkest secrets! I have to admit you guys were pretty clever with some of the secrets your ponies were hiding or the cleverness in switch some of your ponies were sneaking around. Keep it up, we're almost to our first Makeup Day!
Today we managed to bring in 118 ponies which brings our total up to 967 ponies in total!
Now that we've gotten a week of pony drawing under our belts and you all are starting to settle in we've gotten to see some new faces and old among our gallery each day. One part of being an artist is being part of a community: sharing art, techniques, encouragement, trades, but most importantly, friendship. To do that we first need to know a little bit about each other, don't you agree?
So for today's prompt I would like you guys to Draw a pony doing something you like to do / Draw your OC’s special talent.
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!
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!
Attention Discord Users:
For those of you with Discord we are really pulling out all the stops this year as we have a channel on EqD's official Discord server called #artist-training-ground for you to hang out in with your fellow artists during the event. You can join our Discord server here.
Check on after the break for today's gallery!

4 Rarity's darkest secret - Daimando
It was something in the back of my head: Rarity once dressing Rainbow Dash up as a Mime. If anyone wants me to draw Rainbow Dash as a Mime, please let me know.

14 Darkness Dawns - Star Shine
I (like everyone else) love Luna's past. It is very interesting to explore, and it would be great to see exactly what happened that led up to her transformation into Nightmare Moon. It must have been a hard secret to keep from her sister.

38 Sad Yona - Velvet
Maybe not 100% on theme, but Yona pretending to be okay with her Yak heritage but secretly wishing she was a pony seemed like a dark enough secret to me :T

48 Derpy's Secret - SolarSpark
Somewhat of a throwback to one of my first pony works. I hadn't attached much of a story to the idea of Derpy being a changeling at the time - it just seemed a fun idea! Although after Skywriter did me the honour of asking to use my art as a cover for his story amazing Derplicity - I highly recommend it! - and with his story fitting her personality so well, I cannot help but finding enjoyment in entertaining that idea every now any then. ^-^

105 Compromising Position - EbonyCrystal1986
Rainbow Dash didn't like to admit it, but she secretly LOVED reading romance novels of any kind, and would try and take any chance she could get. However, still worried that her friends would call her an egghead for loving that "mushy stuff" as she would call it, she would take extra precautions on when and where she would read the next chapter of her favorite book. However, it would appear that she was finally caught today...what would her friends say about this one? Well she would just have to wait and see...

111 Whatcha Doing, Scootaloo? - SupermarineSpitfire
Scootaloo has shown a penchant for dancing in the early seasons, so it seems reasonable that she practises ballet in secret, out of fear that others would think she is "uncool" and "girly" if found out. It was inevitable that she would be found out, by Apple Bloom of all ponies.
