Now that is a mood. I remember being in the same exact situation many times, trying to get assignments done or working on my thesis. I am glad those times are over, but also glad I got to experience them. And I am sure many of our artists are feeling the same way, staying up late and getting ground down by it all, but we don't have much time left, the goal is in sight. You all can do it!
As for today, we managed to get 66 ponies which brings us up to 1632 ponies in total.
Moving on to today's prompt, we had a chance to look into the darkness and at the end of the darkness is usually a light at the end of the tunnel! Of course, to get ourselves back on our feet we sometimes have to work and fix things that may have broken during our darkest moments. That's why for today I'd like you all to Draw a pony facing a mistake from their past / Draw a pony putting the pieces back together.
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 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!

Twinkle Nights -
MintwhistleTwilight Twinkle and Tangerine Twinkle (both from G3) watching some fireflies. I used the airbrush in Medibang for the background, and the sumi brush for the ponies; this creates an interesting "out of focus" effect.

NATG XIII Day 21: Stargazing -
AceBlazewingI may have yet to make a story featuring Pastel Macaroon alongside her Auntie Cookie, but it's still fun getting to draw them being cute and wholesome together, and watching the night sky together felt perfect for that. =)

phallen1Sometimes you just get in the zone, you know? Or sometimes a deadline looms and you don't have time to leave your computer for things like food or sleep.

Nightlights -
TermyotterThey always seem to make unreformed changeling eyes really glow a lot (how else to see them peering out of the dark). I just wanted to have some fun with that.

Wings of Insomnia -
Aethereus EntropyAs she stared at the clock, the minutes seemed to drag on forever. Normally full of energy and confidence, Rainbow Dash felt exhausted and frustrated by her inability to fall asleep. Her restless mind went over every detail of her life and accomplishments, leading her to wonder if she had achieved everything she desired.

Late Night Snack -
Lifes HarbingerLiberty is watching one of her favorite shows. Unaware that time has started slipping by, and it's become late in the night... or early in the morning, whichever you prefer.

Kept in the Dark -
frithEvery time there's a scene with Opaline and Misty in this New Generation, we are treated to horrible abuse. I considered drawing Misty bound in duct tape, emaciated and resting in a pool of her own urine in some dark room. I went with just malnourished and kept in the pitch black dark.

The Warlock At Night -
Lili Dash!For many nights Sombra stayed awake, studying countless ancient tomes of dark sorcery in hopes of finding some spell that would make him powerful enough to face the princesses. I tried to go for a different style with this one to try and focus on the light and shadow. Not amazing, but still it was good practice.

2023 NATG day 21 - A Pony Kept in the Dawrk -
C_||_RThe Nightmare spoke as she stepped closer, her dark dulcet voice making plain the power of the Alicorn's pernicious, ancient magics; and the Batmare couldn't shake the disgust she felt at the similarities it had to her own voice when in more affluent company.
"Something something* darkness, Batmare. Something something something* born and moulded."
The Batmare suppressed a shudder as the Nightmare did go on, “Blah blah blah* not so different, Batmare. Quite unfitting, considering your _true_ name, ISN'T IT??!”
*these quotes are verbatim

3 AM -
SOENJAYI went far too long without a Spongebob reference this year.
Also I think the couch is more of a recurring background character than literally any of my other OCs.

Just One More Line -
Ebony CrystalIt was another late night for Ebony, but this time she wasn't working on art for a client, she was actually working on art for a personal art class, the teacher having provided a couple of prompts for the to do each day for 30 days and she always looked forward to it whenever it came around. Little Sunshine was asleep, but he noticed his owner was awake again, soon hopping out of his little bed and into Ebony's lap, mewing to get her attention.
"I know it's late, Sunny, but just let me finish this last little bit, okay? I'll go to bed as soon as I'm done."
Sunshine purred at that, snuggling into her lap, having a feeling it would be another one of those nights, but as long as Ebony was happy, he was happy, too.
