• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 5

     


    When I mentioned goose in last night's prompt I had a sneaking suspicion that certain mischievous fowl would be making an appearance in many of our drawings today. Let's just say Maud is playing it on her Switch to relax tonight. I always do love it when a prompt goes in a silly direction.

    As for our pony count tonight, we managed to bring in 58 ponies which brings us up to 259 ponies thus far in this year's NATG! Keep up the good work, everyone!

    While the silly is always good with ponies the fandom (and show itself) has always been able to take our pastel equine friends in a variety of different directions. While we have dealt with the emotions of uncertainty and being stuck in a difficult or fruitless situation, how about something a little more bewildering or nefarious? Today I want to see you take a trip into the strange or the depths of Equestrian high society (or something far more creative) as you Draw a pony shrouded in mystery / Draw a pony with friends in high places.

    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 11
    He couldn't decide which one is the oldest Saucepan ever? But, Shane couldn't purchase either until the Saucepan built with older version instead of newer version due to Inflation prices in Equestria. He might get stuck in their brains and couldn't stop thinking about Saucepan and everypony is not very amused about waiting their long line.

Well, you get bodies buried in that silt. So, crack open the slate and presto, a fossil, pressed into the rock. Between a rock and a hard place, the hard place being more rock.

    51 False Accusations - Emerald Light

    Art image 51
    "Rumors are dainty morsels that sink deep into one’s heart" (Proverbs 18:8 NLT). I wonder who's framing Emerald . . . I decided to spend some more time on this one, as I had the idea to have a background, and I'm pleased with how it turned out. I used the side of my pencil on the background with the original intent to give it a slight tint, but it ended up making its own grunge-like texture, which was a pleasant surprise!

    58 Grogar's Game - Gear Grind - Khazard

    Art image 58
    Adventuring can be pretty hard, especially when you lack the gear to deal with it. But that gear costs money, which is harder to get when you can't fight. Do you scrape together all you have to make the path forward easier, or rely on your bare hooves to carry you through? Decisions, decisions...
