• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XI: Day 29

     

    My Little Pony Newbie Artist Training Grounds Author Calpain

    Coming home, especially after being away for so long. It's a wonderful feeling being back in the place you belong and as our journey here at the NATG quickly comes to an end I hope you find the same sort of comfort when the event is over. You've all done so well and I couldn't be more proud of you.

    As always with the last couple prompts, tonight we are bringing back an old favorite that we have done for years now. For you veterans out there you know what is coming. That's right! For tonight I want you to Draw a pony or ponies doing as many of our past prompts as possible / Draw a pony reflecting on the past.

    For tonight we brought in 56 ponies which brings us up to 2314 ponies in total! Nice work 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!

    "When I come home and see you again I'm gonna bring the night as my oldest friend I'm gonna stay with you, and won't repeat mistakes I no longer want to roam I'll do whatever it takes To come home."






    7 IT'S COMING HOME - Stone39

    Art image 7
    IT'S COMING HOME! Nicole's been... slightly interested in the Euro Football series. That being said, she's very enthusiastic about England staying in the running. (I'm gonna be torn if England and Spain are put up against each other.)



    8 Coming home - Velvet Remedy

    Art image 8
    I've always had a headcanon that Pinkie was sent to Ponyville at an early age and only visited the farm again after reaching adulthood.

    Art image 13
    Just a couple more steps (days) and we've done it! One month of daily (more or less) of drawing a pony. \o/ Don't quit now! You can do it



    14 NATG XI Day 28: Returning From Adventure - AceBlazewing

    Art image 14

    16 This is BIG! Like REALLY BIG! - Pi

    Art image 16
    Starlight is so smol in this that I really wish I'd have used thicker lines before shrinking her. Oh well, turned out alright. Might finish this to a full piece later, I really love this scene.

    20 The end of the journey - TenebrisNoctus

    Art image 20
    Draw a pony not coming home... This is more dark than my usual themes (and propably not what was intendet) But somehow i "felt" like it.












    24 Celestia and Luna return hoime - Daimando

    Art image 24
    Question to everyone: Do you think I should draw Celestia and Luna with this kind of face from here on out? Or stick with their usual Alicorn face that Lauren Faust made?



    25 Welcome Home - llametsul

    Art image 25
    *Alien clicking noises*









    28 Reunion - magnusmagnum

    33 End of Line - Termyotter

    Art image 33
    So, this drawing challenge has been quite the journey for me... so that's what I drew.



    34 That road that i traveled... - MagicBriz

    Art image 34
    My imagination does not accompany me, so I could not think of anything, then I remembered the final episode of MLP and thought, I could make a drawing of Twilight remembering all the adventures she had with her friends, all the way she traveled to get to where she is: On the throne of Celestia. The drawings that I put in opacity are old, I thought to put screenshots of the series, but it was not an idea that I liked, and since doing each scene would take me much more time than I had to make the drawing, I preferred to use those old drawings.






    36 Nedi's Journey - Nedemai

    Art image 36
    Only two days left now!






    38 Home Run - Optimistic Neighsayer

    Art image 38
    She'll get home alright, but will she be safe?



    39 Mustang's Apartment - SOENJAY

    Art image 39
    "It's not much, but... y'know, it's ahh.... not much." Mustang's apartment is 100% just Linguini's apartment from Ratatouille. Just the most pathetic 1 room living space you've ever seen.



    40 NATG 28 | Home at Last Rough Sketch - Will-Owl-the-Wisp

    Art image 40
    This is much rougher than I would have liked, and it's missing *something* but I can't for the life of me figure out what at present. Time to just call it and try again tomorrow.



    41 Rose Onto Home - DinkyUniverse

    ATG At the beginning: I'll do colored drawings every 4 days! ATG 1/3 in: I'll just do more complex sketches! ATG 3/4 in: 10 minute sketch to turn in 3 minutes before the deadline GO



    53 The Last Leg - Frith

    Art image 53
    On the last leg of her journey, Smoll Hoss eased down the steep grade, her load of eyes shifting in the baskets on her back. Picking her way through the jumble of the foothills was going to be tricky, but beyond that, good grazing awaited in the shadow of the headlands where she'd be able to take a short break. Did anypony here a pony traveling down a leg? How about pogo-bouncing on one leg down the road? Allonsbro [30] did! Bravo! 8^D









    56 Back to Form - SazerLite

    Art image 56
    Before this year's NATG ends, I figure we might as well bring Motion back to his initial form once more.
