Every individual picture, every individual day has been a journey for us all these past 30 days. Some pieces came naturally while others you struggled with. Some days you had time and some you wondered if you'd even have 15 minutes to sketch. And there were some pieces you were proud of and others you'd count as duds. Over the past 30ish days you all have experienced the ups and downs of what it means to be an artist, veteran, and newbie alike and while it may be tough, I hope the good far outweighs the bad for you and you take what you learned here to what awaits you ahead.
Today we brought in 84 ponies which brings us up to 2175 ponies in total! Excellent job everyone, let's finish strong.
Well, here it is, the final day everyone. You've done all you can for me and I am proud of all the work you've done. As such, today is the day you graduate, another NATG done and dusted. So celebrate the fact you made it through this year (or another year if you're a veteran) and get some rest after this, you've earned it. For today all I want you to do is Draw a pony graduating / Draw a pony making their dreams come true.
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!

1 Not One of Them - Ebony Crystal
Sprout had become more than a bit of a loner after the lighthouse incident. He had been doing community service under Hitch's suggestion, but nopony wanted anything to do with him besides maybe Sunny and her friends from time to time. One sunset, he decided to walk by the seaside on his own, soon catching a reflection of himself, seeing it turn to the dictator he once was...it was then he thought to himself that he'd never be like Hitch and he wouldn't be himself again, either...he was now an outsider, and he'd have to live with that for who knows how long.

58 Bucking Bronco - SOENJAY
"It's how the west was won. Bucking Bronco, a blast for everyone!" Not super happy with how this came out, but it was drawn hastily while playing DnD. I want to make a proper sister picture to last year's "Colt Mustang" drawing, complete with color and everything. For anyone who isn't car savvy, this is an attempt as recreating the Ford Bronco logo.

68 Nightmare Woona - Frith
Nightmare Woona: "The bedtime stories will go on FOREVER! First read to me all of the 'Blue Breezie Book', then the 'Red Breezie Book", you can skip the poetry book, bleh, then the 'Green Breezie Book', then..." So Nightmare Woona is Luna's worst, as in embarrassing, Nightmare, but not the worst Nightmare in Equestria. That would be Nightmare Scoot of the baking soda volcano school science presentation that was set to LAST FOREVER! See fimfiction.net/story/14777/contraptionology for details. It will be the best thing you've read all year. To get a reply, click on the "Frith" link, no log-in required. It's Dreamwidth, as peaceful as Luna's night. Minus Nightmare Woona.
