If you're going to have a secret mission theme, what better pony can you pick?
Good evening everyone and welcome to another day of the NATG! As we enter day 5, we are already a sixth of the way through, can you believe it? So far while our numbers are down from last year, the creativity continues to thrive! Even though today's prompt is a breakaway from the comfort zone of the first few beginning prompts I think that you all managed to rise to the challenge and put your own unique spin on things.
For today, you all managed to bring together 76 ponies which now brings our total to 345 ponies as we slowly creep closer and closer to 1000. Keep it up, everyone!
As for today's prompt, I've mostly given our artists opportunities that required very minimal objects and backgrounds. While ponies in white spaces are pretty nifty, some background can really add to the scene and give some context to what your pony is doing. So that is why for today I wanted to start by introducing a prompt to test our artist's skills with backgrounds by asking them to Draw a pony enjoying nature / Draw a pony finding harmony in chaos.
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!

14 A Glittery Mission - EveryDayDashie
The ball was fun, and everypony had a blast during the past 3 hours. But it seems like nothing could last forever, not even an electric night like this. As I approached the big door near the exit sign, thinking that all surprises have come to an end, I couldn't help getting distracted by a mixture of glaring, oddly positioned bits of silver and aquamarine glitter. Sure, glitter is everywhere, especially in celebrations like this, but such alignment and an absurd amount of shiny little granules concentrated along this path to the exit feels... rather unnatural. It reminded me of somepony in this ball night as well. Well, maybe two if you know what I'm thinking, but my curiosity was still alive there, telling me to follow this trail and see where it'll lead us. With that, the mystery began once again. Somepony must be out there, waiting for us to open the door and pony on for a "glittery" mission...

44 It's Almost TOO Easy - Ebony Crystal
Just had time for a bit of a doodle for today's prompt, which is a screen redraw for one of my favorite fantasy scenes in the 200th episode, Sparkle's Seven, imo, one of the best episodes of the entire series. I would have drawn Spike, too, but I'd say Flutters was the star of that particular scene, dodging the lasers like that. :3

Playing resident evil 4 original and at the castle level right now so that's what inspired the whole thing. Originally this would've been a lot more high quality but I overslept and had to cut out some more things like lightning illuminating the place. Even originallyer I wanted to have a gag where the guard would pass and the eyes just pop out from the darkness but ended up with Copy Paste: The Animation but oh well Full quality: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/589921363402162176/1117670217582129162/d4.mp4
