Inspiration can come in all shapes and forms: a piece of artwork, the words of a friend or loved one, or even the most random of events. It's why it can be hard to find what inspires us the most when we seek to do the things we love. When you find the thing that is your muse make sure to hold on to it tight and use it to propel you to ever greater heights.
Welcome to another day of the NATG everyone! For tonight's prompt I wanted to give you all a chance to share a little bit more of yourselves since you all had so much fun making crossovers with your favorite media a couple days back. Today we're getting a bit nostalgic as I would like you to Draw a pony experiencing your most cherished memory / Draw a pony living life to the fullest!
For today we managed to bring in 60 ponies which now gives us 1601 ponies in total! Let's keep pushing towards 2k everyone!
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!
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!

Based on a headcanon discussed with a friend over Issue 81 of the IDW comics. Scootaloo more than deserves this chance, don't you think? =)

Keeping with Nicole's new game, I think a 0.8% drop chance is some pretty steep odds. Also, Gusty makes a pretty great Tak-Fifty. ^_^

18 [SFM] Never tell this mare the odds - red4567
I actually don't know how to play 3D chess, so I doubt the pieces are in the right places. I'm sorry in advance if I ticked off any Trekkies.

28 Starlight. Starbright - Daimando
Had a difficult time on coming up with an idea. But I wound up coming up with Filly Moondancer showing Filly Starlight her inspiration: The night sky and the stars that decorate it.

What can I say, I like silly wordplay and I don't like motivational posters, but I do like making fun of them.

36 Unyielding Resolve - TheEpicKyurem
Fighting an evil deity of destruction? Yeah... not the smartest thing to do. But this pony has an indomitable spirit that nothing can break.

AJ was inspired, she figured she could beat the odds if there wasn't any. Tired ponys do weird things.

What's Sham gonna do, call her out? Her first mistake was agreeing to gamble against Eris in the first place.

44 Rodeo Kid - Pone-Dancer
Tex loves going to the rodeos with his family. The deep-fried food, the games, and best of all the bullriding event! If none of the competitors can stay on the bull himself gets to keep the belt buckle. It's a pretty big deal/big honor, especially if you have a lot of them. Tex isn't actually part bovine, but he looks the part. He then goes on to become one of the greatest 'bulls' in Equestria.

When AJ brings her A game, she won't lose to anypony. Even when none of the topics are about apples, farming, or rodeos.

46 Unstoppable Mailmare - magnusmagnum
If there is one thing that Derpy is good at, that would be delivering mails. She will stop at nothing to deliver these mails, even if that means climbing over Mount Everhoof, the deep ocean of Seaquestria, or a devouring blizzard... it will be done.

That's right, I'll show who's better! I am! I will be better than you! You inspired me to be better than you! I want to wipe that smirk off your face when I win next time!

50 Inspiration - SOENJAY
This is one of my biggest musical inspirations, Glenn Frey. As gay as I am for Huey Lewis' voice, Glenn's music hits me different. I love his voice and I love his writing. That's right kids, this was back when musicians actually wrote their own damn songs, put passion and meaning into the lyrics, and didn't have a team of people writing for them to work the formula and top the charts for a huge paycheck. This ponification of Glenn is more circa late 70s while the song he's singing is from his 1988 album "Soul Searching" so it's not completely accurate, but screw you, it's my drawing.

Twilight finally makes a huge turnaround after losing too many games... but if the strategy's in a book, did she really beat "impossible" odds?

57 The Key to Survival - SazerLite
Motion Capture motivates himself by looking at the cover for the late Richard Williams The Animator's Survival Kit. If any of you are interested in the field of animation, I strongly recommend this book. It's very informative and interesting.
