Oh Derpy, I know exactly how you feel. And some of you may be feeling like this too just getting around to doing the NATG prompts for the day. It is a daunting task, I'm not going to lie, but don't feel bad at all if you can't get through all 30! Just the fact you practiced and gave something a try is a huge step and these prompts will always be here for you later if you ever need them.
You can do it, I believe in you all!
As we enter into a new day, we managed to bring in 66 ponies which now brings our total to 132 ponies altogether! Keep it up, everyone!
For today's prompt, I usually tackle an emotion of some sort, and considering the number of new artists who have had hesitations on joining, but doing so anyway, while others threw themselves right into it I figured a prompt related to that feeling would work nicely. So that is why for the prompt I would like you to Draw a pony throwing caution to the wind / Draw tiptoeing around danger.

He went travel to the Caribbean Islands but, he decided to take the Coach Bus from the Airport due to far away, and then He step into the grass from the Bus for the first time at the Islands (not Hawaii).

H-He is ALIVE again! The explorer pony is still alive again from the dead! A fun fact for the prompt: I had a dream while I went to sleep - this one inspires me about Pokemon Mystery Dungeon! ^^

41 Mistakes Were Made - Termyotter
Look, you can be very very smart at some things and totally useless at others. I'm good in a lab, but put me in her position here and I may need an EMT visit. Oh, I do realize a choking issue may not require resuscitation but I did sort of want to get in the small "hooves of life" unit. :)

45 The Twisted Tale of Izzy... - Mintwhistle
Based on an old idea I had for a "Micro-Series" styled comic: "When one of Izzy Moonbow's creations mysteriously comes to life, what's a unicorn to do?" (Butterscotch is saying, "Hello, Izzy!" I forgot to add the dialogue.)

I did not know about the New Artist Training Ground event and planned to start drawing this month. What a lucky coincidence the one who inspired me to draw concluded his own drawing challenge the same day EQD started theirs. Look forward to improving and contributing to the fandom!

53 Pinkie Pie wakes up Rainbow Dash - SuperSonicRainboom
Since the prompt is a pony coming to life I thought of a pony waking up from sleep and who loves sleeping/napping Rainbow Dash! So I drew Pinkie Pie waking up Rainbow Dash from one of her naps.

66 Donning the Helmet - Chronomyre
i had bigger ideas, but i realized i couldn't learn the necessary techniques to do what I wanted to in a single day. then i got unmotivated and didn't want to submit anything at all, like a petulant child who sulks when he can't have his favorite dessert. then i got over it and did something on par with my usual output. no time for color.

69 Grogar's Game - Adventure Selfie - Khazard
The adventure begins! Pipp the Bard, Misty the Black Mage, Tempest the Spellsword, Kerfuffle the Smith, and Skellinore the Berserker. Quite a formidable party. And a quest must start with the first step, and that step in this case is a group selfie to remember where it all began. Though, this start is so-so it seems.
