So that's where Pipp got the startup money for that little salon of hers. Mom can't just pay for everything, the girls need to be able to do things on their own. I just hope Sprout didn't take money out of retirement to buy that NFT.
As the NATG starts to wrap up, a common theme has appeared once again: rushing to make the deadline. As our ponies themselves are nearing the finish line I figured for today it would be a good idea to have you try and Draw a pony racing to the finish / Draw a pony beating the clock.

4 Decisions to Destiny - EveryDayDashie
I guess joining NATG has got to be one of the hardest but life-changing decisions I've ever made. I wouldn't be drawing these ponies if I didn't care about NATG in the first place, and this destiny would not be possible if it were not the decisions I made earlier. I still remember struggling with making a decision on whether I should participate in NATG on the very first day, as well as questioning myself if I'm even capable of drawing a simple pony. Yes, the first drawing looks quite awful, but as I developed the skills needed for drawing ponies, my artworks started improving and now I can experiment with different poses and shading. Overall, I ultimately decided to participate in this year's NATG, and I'm confident that I made the right decision. With that being said, this drawing took me around 3 hours to finish and I hope you enjoy this piece of artwork!

The Firmaments are in peril, and we've already lost the Crystal Empire. Magic for Equestria can be retained while we're gone, and Luster can maintain this machine to ensure the Sun, Moon, and seasons all keep moving.... We must follow them back... Repair whatever damage they've done..

12 Red pill or Blue pill? - Ragmo
You take the blue pill... the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill... you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. ... somewhat works better in color.

13 The never-seen parents of Spike - Tarkan809
Spike had no memory about his parents being present for him… Even when he imagine of what they looked like… Unfortunately Weston was the only one that his parents are actually the ones that came for him But what if his parents came to Paradise Estate to look for their son? Well Spike’s reaction would be crying in happiness… After for a long time he finally got to see his parents… But that does not mean that he will leave his friends, he can still come to Paradise Estate as much as he wanted to… (sorry if I didn’t explained this too clearly…)

32 Small Decisions - Termyotter
I always like the idea of small simple decisions that seem to have little important impact may actually be turning points for others.

37 "Warrior at Heart" - EmeraldPencil
"Stand your ground . . . take the sword of the Spirit." Not all of us fight physical wars. But we all take part in a war on a different front. Some cower. Make the choice to stand and fight for what is right! This is my largest drawing yet, and I resized it slightly to center it. As always, constructive criticism is encouraged and appreciated!

45 The All Mare - Frith
Thank you C_II_R for the kind words about my NATG XII submissions. ^_^ Yes, the Campfire Tale submission came out particularly well. It was a bit tricky because to get the darkness of night, I had to work with the negative analog of the colours I wanted in the final product: blue for orange, white for black. This time, for 'pony destiny', I have the All Mother, destined to become a museum artifact, on display, under glass, an immense draw for the Canterlot Cultural Hippology Museum. I had a few tries at this. First this misty version of black on blue.

46 Epona - Frith
Then I tried random hazy shafts of blue, brown and green under the outline, but that seemed to cause the skeleton to be suspended and it no longer seemed that it was a bird's eye view. So I tried a liquid splatter of lurid colours. I should have probably skipped trying to fill in the area and went with a series of faint spidering to produce multicoloured bones on white instead.

47 The Bones of the All Mare - Frith
So, it's past deadline, but I'm attempting a rainbow spidering anyway. Who needs sleep? Sleep is for ponies who work this weekend and sleep is eternal for the All Mare.

48 Mending Scales... and hugs as a bonus! - Rupert the Blue Fox
Wanted to go for this Newbie Artist Training Grounds stuffs, but with dragons! Another "what if?" pic, and, to be honest, part of me actually wants those two to BE like brothers, dragon y dragon. Even Smolder seems to agree. Who's with me on this?!
