Sometimes it can be easy to get lost in your thoughts, wondering what the future will bring, what would have happened if things in your life were different or just imagining the cool story you've been working on in your head for a while now. Imagination is a powerful thing and an important tool for an artist, a reason why I keep at least some of our prompts vague in the NATG. If you were given nothing but specific prompts how can your imagination run wild?
Speaking of the prompts, tonight's is one I think is a bit more straightforward yet also one I hope you'll be able to employ your creativity to complete! We're going to have a little fun tonight as I want you to Draw a pony pulling a prank / Draw a pony pulling the wool over someone's eyes!
For tonight we managed to pull in 65 ponies which now brings us up to 1916 ponies in total. Nicely done 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!
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!

Sunset Shimmer is zoning out by going all-out amazon. Pretty badass, actually, heh.

22 Sapphi.exe has stopped responding - Stone39
And here we have the Queen of Zoning Out, Sapphire. She might be lost thinking in her imagination or getting caught up in a fantasy. Or she might just be thinking of the perfect pizza. Who knows. :)

25 Zoning out - Ragmo
I caught myself recently to zone out during work for a couple of seconds - the weather over the last couple days was realy nice - it has cooled down to ~24C (~72F). We have a nice small green area behind the office, so its a nice look :) Not happy with her left arm, but don't have the time today

26 Tree Tuning - Lore
Treehugger gives much-needed zen to me. A lot of the characters I've "followed" in my imagination throughout my life were tied up in a war (the one Lore is a veteran of). Lore found Equestria to consider retiring in, and I'm glad he found Treehugger.

29 NATG XI Day 21: A Griffon's Daydream - AceBlazewing
I wondered when Gallus first decided he wanted to be part of the Royal Guard. Seems like something he'd daydream about in class. =P

OK, bent the rules and got a pony lost in someone else's imagination, and is being led out.

44 A Mustang in a Gran Torino - SOENJAY
I often dream of owning a vintage 70s American car. My top choices would be a Ford Gran Torino, an Olds 442 or 88, or a Buick Skylark. The lyric subtitles are from this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MItMDkc343M

45 Isaac's Nightmare - phallen1
There's a pretty good argument to be made that the Binding of Isaac is the running-wild imagination of a scared, confused little boy. Or colt, as the case may be.

52 Flyght of Fancy - Optimistic Neighsayer
It's easy to get trapped in the flights of one's magic... perhaps Wittgenstable can show her the way out.

Sometimes you think about apples so much that you can't seem to find any or thoughts to have.

"...And that's why we need to rezone the area from agricultural to heavy industrial." "Uh... sure, sounds good. I'll get the papers ready."

Forgive the weird dithering effect on the gif, but the cleaner gif was over 6 MB. Dunno what's up with that. But, hey, at least it adds to the surreality. Full sized gif: sta.sh/01l3ze9gevqh
