Artist: Dusthiel
Luna does make for a cute Kirin, but you'd better not make her angry.
Wonderful job tonight everyone! I know switching from ponies to other creatures may have been a tough one with all of the different anatomy, but to expand as an artist we have to get outside of our comfort zone and explore new horizons, right? Who knows, maybe you found a species you liked drawing just as much as regular ponies in the process! Keep up the good work as we continue to press on, my friends.
For today we managed to rake in 73 ponies which now brings our total to 692 ponies! Nicely done as we creep towards the 1k mark.
For today, this one was inspired by not only a very old prompt but by a comment or two I've heard from other artists as well. We're very used to drawing ponies full-sized (or getting there at least), but I do notice unless someone is drawing the CMC or one of the other fillies or colts in the show they are usually pretty absent. Considering their stature it can be hard to get the proportions right to make them look good so for today I wanted to give you a little practice with that by having you Draw a pony as a filly or colt / Draw a pony sent back in time.
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, or 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!
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!

6 Look, I'm Silverstream! - EveryDayDashie
No, Rainbow. you aren't. This one really is a hard one because I have to transform Rainbow Dash into Rainbowstream (well, not necessarily, it just has to be a different species). Anyway, I think it took me around 5 hours to finish this and the result may not be as good as before because I'm trying to draw a different species as opposed to ponies. I know it looks weird, but I've tried my best to make it look at least appealing. Let's just hope that tomorrow's prompt would be a little bit easier.

Tough Cookie and Syntax's scope of exploration has increased after transforming into seaponies. Syntax would feel as eager about it as Cookie does, if he didn't have to worry about losing his hat underwater, lol.

36 A body change - Apic86
Turning a creature from another dimension into a pony did not work well… This time, change into a new body shape can increase a chance to attract special somecreature. Little she did know…

Hey, if you don't think it's a big deal now, just you wait. Those cheaply-made bits of plastic can be health hazards.

I'm surprised that this species swap doesn't happen more often. Trixie and yaks both have a flair for the dramatic and interesting ways of referring to themselves.

64 Ebony Fox - Ebony Crystal
I know this isn't my best work, but I'm still proud I was able to get something in for today's prompt. At the very last minute after MULTIPLE ideas were tossed out, I decided to take this one as an excuse to practice my anatomy on a real animal and foxes are one of my favorites. I don't think I did too bad considering I did this in about 2 hours or so. :3

A second entry for Day 8! I wonder if Sunny how many more surprises from the past she will encounter? (And don't tell me Guiding Light doesn't exist in G4, who knows what history will come?) The genie pony idea was in part inspired by Parcly Taxel, a specialty of his.

Wanted to go for this Newbie Artist Training Grounds stuffs. While this idea isn’t new, I wanted to see how a dragonified Gilda would look in MY take.
