While a lot of prompts near the end of the NATG are a bit more of a challenge to do, they can also be a fun and insightful way to see how others can interpret a harder prompt. With this one being about forging your destiny or experiencing a miracle you could get a glimpse into how an artist thinks, especially in how they define a miracle or destiny. It just brings out so much variety in the artwork.
For today we managed to bring in 58 ponies which brings us up to 1370 ponies in total!
Back to the lighthearted prompts for a bit everyone! Now that our ponies have experienced their destinies and the miracles of the world, it's time for something a bit more mundane and slice of life. So that's why for today I would like you to Draw a pony daydreaming / Draw a pony with their head in the clouds.
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 4096x4096! If your image is larger than that, the submitter will resize it to that max resolution.
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!

The meaning of life is hidden in loud music, beat rolls, and every type of scratch you can name.

7 New Path - Termyotter
(There is a fair bit of explanation on DA for this one). Spectrum Gear had finally got Mac alone. He'd shadowed the bug as it played at being a pony for a long time now. He'd not caught it doing anything YET, but it was only a matter of time. Luring him out he tries to take Mac, but fails. He awaits his fate, but isn't ready for what actually comes.

19 Flurry Heart's Miracle - Ebony Crystal
The moment little Flurry Heart was born was a miracle enough in itself, but the instant she revealed her new wings to the world, everypony knew she was no ordinary little baby. She was an alicorn princess! Had a great time experimenting with the pinks and purples in this one, and little Flurry's wings were a great practice anatomy-wise, too!

20 NATG XIII Day 18: We'll Make Our Mark - AceBlazewing
Crusaders of the Lost Mark is still one of my favorite FiM episodes of all time. It was just so wonderful seeing the Crusaders finally earn their cutie marks, thereby both experiencing a miracle and forging their destinies. =)

28 Butterflies in the Sky - Mintwhistle
Misty finds herself surrounded by butterflies, one of which happens to be her future cutie mark. Is it a dream? A vision of what's to come? You decide. (For this one I used the acrylic brush in Medibang. I wouldn't consider it to be truly "lineless", but it checks out!)

34 Parachute-Preparing Pone - phallen1
Patch is taking his life into his own hooves, and making sure he's doing it properly. Finding a new job and sewing his own parachute. Hope you don't mind the tortured analogy.

Horse Kurt Russell is entirely too canny for my liking. It's like when they would put celebrities in Arthur.

45 Making His Own Destiny - Lili Dash!
Alternate future in which Sombra decides to forge his own destiny and do what's right. Inspired by the scene from the Siege of the Crystal Empire IDW comic. This was a little rushed because I did this late at night in a motel room, but I think it came out alright for what it is.

"Just loosen up your definition of what a miracle can be. All a miracle is is the world letting you know that it can still surprise you." -Kyle Kinane, "I liked his old stuff better", 2015.

51 Miracle Whip - Frith
Ponies experiencing Miracle Whip. This stuff will put you off miracles fer a long time. The hard part is drawing ponies galloping away from _behind_. Not just standing, galloping.
