Isn't it nice to get our ponies up and moving? Just like how we don't like to stay in one place for too long our ponies have places to go and things to see. For art though it is a great way to put your ponies into all sorts of different poses, stretch your drawing muscles a little and get out of that standing pose with some experimentation!
For tonight we managed to pull together 174 ponies for tonight which brings our two day total to 353 ponies altogether! Excellent job so far everyone!
Now that we have gotten some of our more standard prompts out of the way, one of the things I like to introduce after the first couple prompts is some practice drawing emotion. Getting the right emotional tone for your ponies and your piece can greatly affect how the piece feels so getting some practice with emotion is really important I feel. Of course, feel free to interpret the prompts as literally or as figuratively as you want, that's where we have the most fun.
So for today our prompt is going to be to Draw a pony filled with rage / Draw a pony about to lose it.
As usual you can find our compiler for the day here.
Max Image Resolution is 2000x2000! Resize your pictures to make sure they are the appropriate size, any image software should be able to help you.
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 for the old prompt is up a few hours even after this post goes up with the new prompt so feel free to submit your submission to the previous day's 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!

4 Spring Is Life - Pone-Dancer
I immediately thought of the season spring for some reason. So here is a character named Swirlz 'springing' flowers to life!

10 ATG 2020 with Sunset Shimmer, prompt 2 - Meto30
After 16 months of hiatus, I returned to art only two weeks ago, and I decided to participate in this year's ATG to warm myself up further. This year my overall plan is to go through the entire ATG run with Sunset Shimmer's EQG form! I'll probably have to mix in some canon pony forms every now and then, just so I know I can draw ponies still.

On the second day of ATG, with the help of some Moon Shoes, Apple Bloom springs to Life. Life brand cereal, that is! Applejack is none too pleased about it.

Artist training grounds x: Day 2: Draw a mobile pony/Draw a pony springing to life.
Hey, this technically counts as a "mobile pony".
It's iPony. It can interact with you, does phone-calls and has alot of nice features.
Heheh... *beep boop*

Pinkie's always got a spring in her step. Or is it a bounce? Sometimes she apears as she's made of rubber - distorting all the laws of physics.

80 Hopping Around - PianoCube
Not sure if I prefer taking the picture with or without flash. A scanner would be nice, but I'll take what I have.
It's tricky enough to just draw a pony on its own. Making them interact with something (like a pogo stick) in a way that looks somewhat natural is significantly harder. And after uploading I realized I forgot the tail, but I don't feel like spending more time on it now.

83 Springing. Just springing - Scout Guy
I mean, what else can I say? The prompt was "draw a mobile pony/pony springing to life", so I made Pinkie springing up out of a box. It works, right?

86 ATG 2020 Day 2: Pinkies Pogo Stick - NaomisHeadspaceART
Hey everyone!
Finally got my submission finished! Kinda funny that I mostly went with the "Mobile pony" side of the prompt, but ended up having a pun-like take on the "springing to life" part of the prompt. Maybe the spirit of Pinkie just possessed me or something!
Have a wonderful day!

I 100% accidentally read this prompt as "Springing into action" so I drew Littlepip doing just that. I think this still counts though.

121 2020 ATGs Day 2/Chrysalis Day 2020 - EbonyCrystal1986
As we all know, Pharynx was quite the feisty one before he was reformed, and of course that way back to when he was a little guy. Queen Chrysalis trained all of her little ones herself from the moment they could walk, though he showed the most potential and she clearly saw that one day as he practically ripped apart his training dummy to shreds until there was nothing left, showing off some impressive moves in the process. She couldn't help but smirk evilly, beaming with pride on the inside, knowing he would be VERY useful to her in the future...

122 Run - Frith
I'm out of ideas for a clever title for this, so Run will have to do. I was able to plan out and start this one yesterday, on a day off work, because I was 95% certain today's prompt would involve moving. Tomorrow, whose nose?

144 It's Time to Be Awesome - Skypause
There wound up being a lot less physical movement in this one than other and metaphorical types of movement.
One of my top three pony moments is rainbow pone singing about peaceful revolutionary action.
In my opinion, the movie is totally about "what if ponies came to our world" in a gritty way... not like EQG. If you haven't seen this movie...do. It's great and actually on of my all-time favorites.
Don't put your fingers in your ears.

Yes, I know, I'm sorry, but I couldn't think of anything else, this awful pun didn't want to leave my head, so I had to do it. Pony Life Pinkie credit goes to icey-wicey-1517.

Personally, I like how this drawing came out. It has got a more cartoony design to it than most of my drawings, and it is definitely cute, alright?

173 NATG X Day 2: Cotton Cloudy on a Mobile Cloud - CMC_Scootaloo
Day 2 of the Newbie Artist Training Grounds X! For the prompt of Day 2 "Draw a mobile pony/Draw a pony springing to life", I drew Cotton Cloudy who chills on a cloud while the wind moves it over the blue sky.
I did not know what to draw at first, but then I looked at moving clouds in the sky and my pony inspiration was springing to life!
