Now our ponies are looking a tad bit happier! Friendship is the cornerstone of the world of FiM, it is in the name after all, and it is with friends that we can do so much more than if we were by ourselves. Whether it is our ponies having adventures in Equestria or yourselves participating in the NATG, we can learn a lot from the friends we make. It is my hope that during and after this event you make some new ones and grow as artists together!
So now that our ponies have friends, how about we make things a bit more exciting? Drama is an integral part of FiM and our ponies never seemed to have a shortage of it in one way or another. That's why for tonight I'd like you all to Draw a pony in over their head / Draw a pony biting off more than they can chew.
Another day, another batch of pones! Today we managed to bring in 102 ponies which brings us now to a grand total of 607 ponies! Not looking too bad, keep up the good work 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
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.
Use that URL in the compiler for your image. Hopefully that works!
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!

18 NATG XI Day 5: Hello, New Friend - AceBlazewing
One of my favorite ponies meets one of my favorite Pokemon. =)
59 NATG XI - Day 5: Cockroach Friends - CMC_Scootaloo
It's Day 5 of the Newbie Artist Training Grounds XI, with the prompt Draw a pony making a friend / Draw a pony patching things up! For today, I drew Ruby Pinch with her two cockroach friends Atra and Chloro from my story "Pinkie Pie's Hearth's Warming Vacation" (linked in the description on Inkbunny). I'm probably the only one in the fandom who has cockroach OCs.^^

60 NATG 5 | When Now All I Have Is You - Will-Owl-the-Wisp
I really enjoy this almost comicbook-style of black shading, both the process of it and the result. =3 This was a very cathartic drawing to work on. These two childhood friends go on quite the rocky journey for a while that drives them apart emotionally and geographically for a long time, and it's nice to finally visualize their reunion after all that. Heavily inspired by the Aviators song, "Find Me (Rewind Version)."

70 Not How it's Done - Sylphan Scribe
Originally, I was going to follow up a previous piece and have Celestia apologize to Luna for setting her on fire, but doing so at an inappropriate time. Unfortunately, after several power outages, I was forced to cut Celestia from the picture, and I had to make something simple to cover the story. I owe her not one, but two pictures now...

79 NATG Day 5: The Sonic Rain-BOOM!!! - Cynac
Sonic and Rainbow Dash competing in a race together is something that really needs to happen, if at all possible. I can easily see them being competitive friends against one another. Also I can see my mistakes in this sketch easily, so let's just make a game here out of this and let you all spam the flaws here. I would have fixed the correction and tried to add in a simple background if I had more time but I remain committed to submitting whatever I managed to create today; I will go back to fix and improve these designs in future, I promise.

84 Fuzzy Funny Friend - Pone-Dancer
Blossom is the kiddo of Prince Darious and centipony Unity. She's very fluffy and sorta...special. This isn't really her fault since she's pretty much a fuzzy feral caterpillar XD Her cousin Valiant isn't quite sure what to think of her. As long as she stops eating his precious shooter marbles it'll be okay. For whatever reason she's obsessed with snacking (and regurgitating) the glass toys. Valiant belongs to A-Generic-Artist-Lol Blossom was designed by SakiMiaji

95 Artist Training Grounds 5: Captain Obvious - Generic-artist
"Draw a pony making a friend / Draw a pony patching things up, Well Mocking Bloom and Little Dam met one long night in a field, in which Little Dam and gotten into a fight with a few other colts just mere hours beforehand.. Mocking had been following Little Dam from a distance for a long period of time.. He proved to be determined and full of spark even though he had gone through a lot of pain that led to bullying.. Of course the first thing Mocking would say to such a brave young colt is "You look like crap." in which Little Dam retorted with "I know Captain Obvi" in the most sarcastic tone ever.

100 NATG Day 5- OMG, they were roommates??? - girl_of_stupidology
Here’s my weird headcanon yall, my hot take: After the events of S7 Shadow Play, Sunburst, I guess accidentally volunteered himself to give angst-ball Stygian a place to stay over at his house, back at Crystal Empire (bc yeah, I don’t think going back to 1000 year old house is a good idea-)... I mean, they both benefit from each other I guess, Stygian needs more friends,,,Sunburst needs to get out of his room every so often,,,Both of them need either emotional support,,,or a *cough* well balanced (sleep) schedule— Point is, they started to grew fond of each other’s company :-) I call them my â€Å“Nocturnal Nerdsâ€� eheh. Another teensy winsy side headcanon is....Probablyyyy Sun mayyyy have a gay panic crush on him????? (Also Styg cooks, guess Sun doesn’t have to eat instant ramen 24/7 anymore)
