And with that we finally hit our last day everyone, day 30. It has been a long road and I know for many of you it has been hard, but I have been so very proud of you all to even get to this point. Even if you only managed to get some of the prompts done you're still a success in my eyes simply because you tried something new, something to improve yourself. And that deserves all the praise in the world.
Now, with it being the final day, I'm sure you all can guess what is coming! That's right, today is graduation day! A day of celebration and joy! I really hope you all had fun this year and as always I want to thank you all for including me and my silly prompts in it. I hope to see many of you next year, I'm going to miss you lot in the meantime, but even so I'll be looking out for your art throughout the year. Keep the drawing strong as we head into our final prompt: Draw a pony graduating / Draw a pony attaining their goal.
Also, artists have 48 hours to complete this one instead of just 24. The marathon is over, time to take things at a more relaxed pace.

2 Trixie's Tall Tales - Ebony Crystal
"If you think that last story was good, wait until you hear about Trixie's narrow escape from a Manticore's giant paw and a fierce Bugbear's stinger!" Day 25 -What better pony with tall tales to draw than Trixie herself. After the whole Ursa Minor experience, something tells me she had to make up a LOT of different stories to impress a certain pair of unicorns that were always hanging around her. :3

3 A Rude Awakening - Ebony Crystal
Ebony had a very rough night and she had JUST dozed off before sunrise when that stupid alarm went off. Upon instinct, she ended up zapping the bloody thing to pieces, unfortunately she ended up waking poor little Sunshine in the process, the little cat's fur now standing on end as his claws gripped her sheets. Looks like today was going to be one of those days...

18 Work Detail| Trash Pick up. - Spellbound Canvas
Its been a little while since I threw some ponies in the slammer. So here it is; ponies paying their debt to society by picking up trash on the side of the road even as they sweat and burn up under a beating sun. Originally this was a Newbie Artist Training Grounds piece, but I decided that I wanted to work on it more than was required. This picture actually qualifies as two prompts. Day 11: Draw a pony burning up / Draw a pony beating the heat. Day 24: Draw a pony facing a mistake from their past / Draw a pony trying to make things right.

29 "Ready for Adventure!" - EmeraldPencil
30 "Perfect Peace" - EmeraldPencil
Nothing is more relaxing than spending time with the One who made you and cares about you. I did some light shading on this one. It might not be noticeable, because I didn't want to botch the entire drawing by putting a shadow in the wrong place and having to erase it and everything around it. As always, constructive criticism is encouraged and appreciated, especially with this drawing as I definitely could use some tips on shading! Thanks! :)

31 Twilight's Destiny - Ebony Crystal
Day 26 - a pony a pony facing their destiny, or a pony about to make a life changing decision, and I guess you can say I did both with this one, Celestia and Luna having passed the torch on to young Princess Twilight to take over Equestria in their place, fulfilling her own destiny once and for all. I've got to admit I love this drawing of Celestia better than the last one I did ages ago and it really shows how much I've improved anatomy wise. I know I still need to work on my backgrounds, but I'll get there. :3

51 Applebuck Season - Ebony Crystal
Day 29 we had the choice to either draw as many previous prompts in a single picture as we could or draw a pony being pulled every which way. I DID have an original idea with Pinkie and Discord, but Day 26 took a long time so I had to scrap it for this doodle from Applebuck Season in which poor Applejack was being sleep deprived from taking on one too many things including trying to pick all of the apples in the orchard when Big Mac injured himself. It came out decent for the short amount of time I had. :3
