• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 4

     

    Source - DoodleDonut

    Sometimes we like to be brave and sometimes we like to be a little bit cautious, especially when we are trying something new. Whether you are a veteran trying out some new technique or a newbie who is trying art for the first time, it can be a bit frustrating and scary to get started. Hopefully over the course of the NATG those fears will melt away and you'll all be more gung-ho diving into new challenges!

    As for today, we managed to bring in a total of 69 ponies which now brings us up to 201 ponies in total. Not too bad for a few days worth of work!

    For today's prompt, we have all tried something to find out it led us nowhere or been put into a tough situation with barely a way out. An occurrence that can happen when you have a 24 hour deadline and things go wrong at just the wrong time. So for today's prompt I'd like you to Draw a pony on a wild goose chase / Draw a pony stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    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 Size is 4MB!

    Animations do not animate when sent through the compiler! Include some text with your submitted animation so people can 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!

    Art image 13
    Lyra really wanted that ticket, no matter the danger of being the first tester of an experimental spell! (just in case my cursive is too garglemeshed to read) Twilight: "Thanks again, Lyra!  I really appreciate you helping me test this cloudwalking spell!" As part of my attempt of bringing awareness regarding just how many brony sites there are out there (and conversely bringing awareness to other sites of EqD’s NATG), today I posted my drawing to MLPForums /)

    37 Tiptoeing Through the Tulips - Frith

    Art image 37
    They're horses! They walk on their nails! They're always tiptoeing! Now, you'll be telling me, tulips aren't dangerous. But look that pony with the hoe, galloping this way with bared teeth, and tell me again that tulips aren't dangerous.

    43 Donkey Oatey arrives to stop Tirek! - Palmetto Prêt

    Art image 43

    44 In Hiding from Grogar - EmilyLsArt

    Art image 44
    Featuring more classic characters from G1...Gusty (the Great) and Grogar (Father of Monsters) in my style! While in hiding, Gusty tries to think of a plan to take the ram's bell around his neck so she could end his reign of terror on pony and creature kind...
    45 Lookin' Sharp! - Emerald Light

    Art image 45
    How did he even get there in the first place? Anywho, I decided to add an IRL object as I thought it was cool and enhanced the danger element. Verse of the Day: "And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved." Acts 2:21 NIV

    55 Book Faire 2: Pyrotechnic Boogaloo - Termyotter

    Art image 55
    So, years ago I had these two go wild at a book faire. So, I thought about both being much older, in positions of power, and what throwing caution to the wind might mean then. Like scheduling two fairs together to make a really exciting one. It's going to be awesome. Set the town on fire!

    60 'Taint No-Creature's Biz-Ness - Optimistic Neighsayer

    Art image 60
    Fun Fact, conventional deer crossing signs don't really help either deer or people, since the danger the signs warn of is largely hypothetical. Besides, deer will just go wherever.

    "THEY GOT THE DEAD DROP! GET THEM NOW!" The spy pony is making a great escape from the Mafia!

    67 Spelunker - SkulltanEve

    Art image 67
    This is my most ambitious drawing yet. If you haven't noticed, it's heavily inspired by Spelunky HD—I started playing it again recently, which brought back some of my disappointment with Spelunky 2 (it's a great game, but can't compare to the original imo).
    69 Grogar's Game - Slimefield - Khazard

    Art image 69
    The party encounters the classic first RPG encounter, slimes! While they are easy to deal with, you traditionally need weapons to do so. Without equipment, the party must navigate around this field of slime ponies and avoid waking any on their way to town.
