And so the last Makeup Day comes to an end! It was great getting to see all of our prompts one last time as we race now to the final day. I hope you've also liked the different artists spotlighted up today each day! Save for a mistake here and there I've tried to put a different artist up top with each new prompt so I hope you've been able to discover someone new by just checking out the top pic.
For today as we head into the holiday weekend we brought in 128 ponies which brings us up to 3739 ponies in total! That's really a lot of pony in just 30 Days and we still have a little more to add to the pile.
Well gang, we've made it! Today is the final prompt and I'm sure most of you already know what it is. It has been a blast this year watching you grow, but I'll save the speeches for the final gallery which will not go up at midnight EST tomorrow. I'll post it during prime time on EqD so everyone can see your work!
Now, without further ado, it's time to Draw a pony graduating / Draw a pony celebration. You guys have earned it and I feel the celebration, considering the NATG is ending conveniently on July 4, is quiet warranted.
As always you can find the submitter here.
For our mobile friends trying to upload, try this:

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!

2 The CMC's First Badge - EbonyCrystal1986
When the CMCs decided to join the Filly Scouts, they found out that the first badge they would earn would be the Good Deed badge, and after a while, they spotted Matilda trying to lug her heavy groceries home from the market, and they instantly knew that helping the elderly donkey carry them home would get them their badges for sure!
3 Escaping from Nightmare Moon - Daimando
Got this done before the day was over. For this drawing, I decided to do something I waited a long time to do: Wanda Young flying away as she tries to outrun Nightmare Moon, Luna's alter ego. Also, notice that the Pony of Shadows is missing. That's because unlike in Friendship is Magic, Princess Luna was possessed by the Pony of Shadows and forced to become Nightmare Moon, much to the shock of Wanda.
This drawing also showcases Wanda's true powers: She has magic unlike anything in Equestria, and can utilize insect-like wings to fly through the air. But it may not be enough to out fly Nightmare Moon.
And spoiler alert: Wanda loses the fight against Nightmare Moon, but through a miracle, she escaped.

20 Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds 2020 29a - Meto30
Prompt 29 is "do as many prompts at once as can be done", and here Sunset is lost in her darkest thoughts, those that she's been keeping to herself lately. Her heart beats with desire for her saviour, but she cannot bring herself to approach Twilight as anything other than her mentor. She fears her own ambitions more than anything, and will do everything in her power to keep herself locked into the narrow path of the humble, faithful, and devoted student. In doing so, however, Sunset has put herself into a trap of her own making, faced with obstacles and/or stop signs in every direction. She feels lost, she feels stuck, she feels helpless. She pushes forward, but has no expectation that her push will lead her somewhere. Will she break out from her mental prison, or will she implode, shrivelling into herself until she is ground to dust?

I really wanted to do another drawing depicting a Pony we know, participating in an Open Mic Night at The Root Cellar. (a speakeasy I have Treehugger and Lore running just outside of Ponyville. You're all welcome to visit. Two free drinks if you're an NATG participant.)
This one qualifies for a slew of prompts... but really, I just wanted to do this drawing.

41 All Alone - Daimando
This drawing is a sequel to Escaping from Nightmare Moon. Wanda, having reunited with Abigail, escaped from Nightmare Moon. But found themselves completely lost. This leaves Wanda completely all alone. No Sunset, no Twilight, no Starlight, no Sunburst, no Moondancer, no Danged Spell, not even Princess Celestia. And she's on the verge of tears. Will she get out of this mess? Or is she doomed to forever be alone(Sans Abigail)?
This drawing is also done as a nod to the Very Good Advice scene from Disney's Alice in Wonderland

70 Jumble - Frith
Her jumble brings all the mad mares to the ward. Jumble, apparently, is a ring shaped cookie, as well as mental confusion. The jumble has been doubled! This was for yesterday's prompt, the only one I'd missed so far. I was just too tired.

102 Ebony Meets Discord - EbonyCrystal1986
One day Fluttershy invited Ebony to her teatime, though she forgot she had plans to have tea with Discord as well, so she figured that would be a great opportunity for the unicorn to meet the draconequus in question. Obviously, Ebony was slightly nervous about doing so, having heard some stories about him through her parents when she was just a filly, but Fluttershy reassured her that things would be fine, so Ebony agreed. Little did she know just how much chaos Fluttershy's friend would have and Ebony was VERY puzzled by how things worked in his place, and once she got introduced to Discord, the unicorn had a funny feeling that she would be opened up to a whole new world of crazy possibilities.
103 For the Order Of Equestria!! (ATG 20, MUDay 10) - MorphiusX
Artist Training Grounds Prompt:
Draw a pony defying impossible odds
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/06/newbie-artist-training-grounds-x-day-10.html
So I thought I'd recreate the stain glass window model from Return of Harmony, but make it likely, & sum up Ponyvania's character roster, play as your Original Character, that can vary from Earth Ponies, Unicorns, Pegasi, Foals, Bat Ponies, & Alicorns.
I've thought I'd make my Bat Pony, Crescent Scabbard, my quick drawing swordspony of the moon, & my Alicorn OC, & Olive Moss, a play-on name for Bob Moss, since alicorns are yet to be implemented.
Now I got my very own Stardust Crusaders!

Artist Training Grounds Prompt:
Draw your OC’s special talent
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/06/newbie-artist-training-grounds-x-day-11.html
I'd thought I'd make my very own Bat Pony, Crescent Scabbard have the spotlight, or moonlight...!
Did I even mention to you I like crescent shapes & waves that trail after the blade?
In Ponyvania, Bat Ponies have the fastest attack speed than all other ponies. So I thought I'd give him the Muramasa, Red Ribbon bow tie (which makes your attacks swing even faster than before), the Blood Cloak.......... Sure Paludamentum is more potent than Blood Cloak but red does compliment him his black mane & gray coat.

Artist Training Grounds Prompt:
Draw a pony that’s bad to the bone
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2020/06/newbie-artist-training-grounds-x-day-13.html
I'd first thought of either my Nega Brony or an existing MLP antagonist, which had me stuck until I thought, "F this, 'need to catch up...!" (or so I thought...)
Not sure if I'd can continue after procrastination + burnout + fatigue after this one...

Belle took Iori to see what they thought would be Equestria's biggest bass guitar, not a bass fish!
Iori unleashes his wild Orochi nature on one of the tourist trap ponies responsible for the pun, while Amber learns to her disappointment the fish was made of plaster and not a real fish!
Albel was so drunk all he could manage to say was fish and giggle, while other ponies were pushing the boundaries of the sign to keep off the statue while some hung from a thread and another pony was lost in thought about the strange monument.
