• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XI: Day 14

     

    My Little Pony Newbie Artist Training Grounds Author Calpain

    Good evening once again everyone! Looks like we managed to get quite a few ponies either trying to enjoy the weather or escape depending on their heat tolerance. Hopefully, this prompt gave you a little more experience with scenery as well as a chance to mess with lighting! I'm really happy to see you all putting in a good effort to expand your scenes beyond just our ponies, but don't fret if you're not quite there yet; you'll get there!

    For our next prompt we're going to change things up a bit again! While our ponies are usually paragons of good there are some bad eggs out there that can cause quite a bit of trouble out there in Equestria. That's why for tonight we're going to have some fun exploring the dark side as I want you to Draw a pony up to no good / Draw a pony breaking every rule in the book.

    For tonight we managed to bring in 73 ponies which brings us up to 1342 ponies in total! Keep it up everyone!

    As always you can find the submitter here.

    For our mobile friends trying to upload, try this:
    Once you have the image uploaded to Twitter, DeviantArt, wherever try this Touch and hold the image. Depending on what browser you’re using, select the image URL by tapping the links below: 

    Chrome: Copy link address 
    Safari: Copy

    Use that URL in the compiler for your image. Hopefully that works!

    If that doesn't work, you can Touch and Hold an image, open it in a new tab and the URL of that tab should be what you're looking for.

    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!

    Well - it is what it is - baking in the sun. Not so satisfied with it today (espacially the eyes/face) - but then again i'm tired today.

    Art image 27
    I couldn't think of anything for last week's, so I apologize for that. I'd been using main characters for most of my entries, so I wanted to break out an OC for this one. In this case, I decided on my plump (and proud to be) treasure hunter, Tough Cookie. =)

    40 Lobster Bake - Termyotter

    Art image 40
    Continuing with Argent (hippogriff) and Pinea's (changeling) trip to Mount Aris. You can't go without going to the beaches there. They don't get a lot of changelings out this way. Just because its a plated bug-like thing that's turning red in the heat doesn't make it tasty to eat. Bug is friend not food!



    41 Luna's Beach Day (Sketch) - Spellbound Canvas

    Art image 41
    Since I already made Baby Celestia in a swimsuit at the beach, I figured I might as well make Baby Luna in a swimsuit at the beach. I will vector it later, right now I just want to get the sketch into the submitter.

    Art image 50
    NATG 2021 Day 13: Draw a pony baking in the sun. Serene Dive basks in the sunlight on a beach. After making an earlier ATG image consisting of only unnamed ponies, I was interested in developing and naming some of them, starting with this one.



    51 ED: NATG 2021 Day 13 - Addelum

    Art image 51
    Alicorns have two things to avoid if they're playing beach volleyball: 1) try to not use their powers of flight, and 2) not popping the beach ball with their horns!

    57 Eggs Cooked Dragon-Style - dzamie

    Art image 57
    It's an unofficial dragon pastime: the hot summer sun can turn your naptime into snacktime! You don't HAVE to use your own eggs, but they can be convenient if you haven't been with a guy dragon recently.



    58 Pizza Time - Sylphan Scribe

    Art image 58
    What better way to enjoy summer than with some sun baked Pizza?

    Theo and Syntax are having a ball watching and filming Mare's new skate trick. Meanwhile, Mustang is attempting to find some cool relief in the shade of a tree.



    63 Pony Paddle - SazerLite

    Art image 63
    Note to self, swimming is much easier to animate than walking.



    64 Summer Snacks - Pone-Dancer

    Art image 64
    Blossom loves the summer! The weather is so pleasant and the fields are ripe for prancing. There are also pretty and interesting things to look at/play with...okay most likely eat. Eating colorful bugs is generally a bad idea though; she'll learn this the hard way >.<

    73 ATG Day 13: Lovely Mare on a Mid-Week Break - Lahtdah

    Art image 73
    Why is she holding her own umbrella, no one really knows. In any case, this is inspired by a real background pony who I think deserves more attention.
