Just as I was hoping, day two of our little adventure did not disappoint in the slightest! From ponies making moves on each other to being positively giddy with excitement and energy, to even a reference to an old video game I know and love, the creativity has been pouring out of you all in a torrent. It makes me think I may have to step up my game to keep giving you prompts to be excited about.
Before we get to that though, we managed to pull in 97 ponies today which brings our two day total to 188 ponies. Not bad at all for two days!
Now that we've got our ponies moving about and springing into action, they've got to use that energy for something. Like the excitement I've seen in the NATG group chat and the comments leading up to the event I figure for today you could try to Draw a pony gearing up / Draw a pony taking the world by storm. Keep those ponies enthusiastic, it's only going to get more difficult as we go on!

2 Shadow of Generosity - Desiree Ramirez
Ponies from Generation 5 would have a Pony of Generation 4 be reflected on them by the shadow they are casting. Pipp Petals is casting her shadow in the form or Rarity. This is the first drawing, the second drawing is with Izzy and Pinkie Pie. I hope you like my artwork! I plan on making four more.

4 Cheerful Pinkie Pie - KevinHz19
Got to be honest. Pinkie Pie is full of life whenever she smiles and cheers. What other pony than Pinkie Pie to be a burst of life for everypony and everyone? :D

13 Make Your Move, Make Your Mark! - EveryDayDashie
Of course, a grand ball would never be complete without the long-waited pony dance party! I was still left pondering in the romantic "Perfect" mood from last time, but as the music slowly transitioned to the good ol' "Party Rock Anthem," my hooves couldn't help but unconsciously tap along the rhythm, fully immersed in the glitz and glamour of this golden moment. Sure, we've all listened to this song a billion times already, but we seem to dance and sing to it every time, perhaps without us knowing. It's just... fun...? Fun! That's the keyword. Dancing is fun! But most of all, it's what NATG is all about - having fun. Every time we step onto this dance floor, we feel the passion to get inspired and share our unique stories, but that feeling only comes when we let loose of ourselves and choose to enjoy the moment with all the artists around us. So, don't stop dancing tonight, don't stop drawing tonight, and don't stop dreaming tonight, because, without you, tonight wouldn't be complete.

22 Fire Brew - Surge-64
We had to draw a pony making their move/bursting with life. After asking, I decided to draw Fire Brew doing her special talent, which is potion brewing. She can use magic like unicorns and alicorns, so she decided to go into a different field during school: potion brewing. Fire Brew - Me

25 Making His Move - Lili Dash!
Traditional art this time, where I really think I excel the most at. I got this idea for Sombra to get angry with Hasbro for not giving him enough content, and then trying to conquer Hasbro as an act of revenge. I think I'll try and fit future prompts into this little story idea of mine!

27 Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII - Day 2: Alula makes a move for a Hearth's Warming present - CMC_Scootaloo
Alternate Title: Pictures taken moments before disaster And here is already the picture for Day 2 of the Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII! A quick one, because I am getting tired and I did not have much sleep last night, so this picture had to be drawn before I fall into Luna's domain. Alula makes a move for a Hearth's Warming present, based on the Day 2 prompt "Draw a pony making their move / Draw a pony bursting with life". I have no idea why the picture is so dark, I placed it under a lamp and used the flash of my phone's camera, but it didn't get through.

55 Beyond Mortality - Aethereus Entropy
Even in death, there is still life. Although the body may cease to function, our actions, words and connections endure beyond our last breath. Thus, in our ephemeral existence, death reminds us of the constant renewal of life.

60 Positive Energy Pone - phallen1
I recall this being a thing from Dungeons & Dragons - hanging out in the Positive Energy Plane without protection, or otherwise getting too big a dose of healing energy in too short a time.

So, of course it's the middle of the night and my light is just awful. But I really like this one despite poor quality of photo.

62 Pardon Me Miss - Lifes Harbinger
Ol' Silver Lining sees a beautiful mare sitting at another table and decides to take a chance and strike up a conversation with her. What does he have to lose? After all, you miss all of the shots you don't take, right? (It works out in case anyone was wondering. I'm told she was admiring him from afar as well.)

Don’t worry it’s not Swamp Fever! At least, I don’t think it is. In any case Fluttershy seems much happier.

Pinkie and Lil Cheese are always full of energy, and Pinkie needs all the energy she to keep up with her little bundle of joy, who seems to have followed in her hoofsteps to making ponies happy and filling their lives with surprises when they least expect them! :3

"I even fought and hurt alongside my tribe but it didn't matter, it didn't matter to them, it's never enough... Nyotikid couldn't do anything about them; I can't do anything about them... And where can I even go? Any Zebra will know I'm Starkatteri, it won't matter that I'm nice... ... I guess... I have to go find Equestria..."

93 Don't Overheal Your Pones - Khazard
Bursting with life... Clearly this means using too many healing spells until you overload with magic. Don't worry, she recovered just fine afterwards
