Who knew that apples were this complex? No wonder AJ has so little competition in Ponyville, eh?
Hello everyone once more to another day of the NATG! We had a number of ponies fetching pearls, sharing wisdom, tangling with ropes and learning new skills, all representing just how creative you all are when it comes to these prompts. As always I look forward to each day's bounty of images with excitement to see just what you all have come up with for the day!
Speaking of bounty, you all managed to bring in 59 ponies today which now brings us up to 379 ponies in total. Slowly we keep inching towards the 1000 mark! Keep it up, everyone!
With the makeup day coming ever closer and the great job you all have done with the prompts so far, it's time for a day for another one of our standard prompt themes we've used for years but given a twist to each and every year. Now that I'm confident you can finish one pony in a day, it's time for a prompt that gives you a chance to draw two and what better theme than love in a fandom that has been shipping ponies for 14 years now? That's right, today I want you to Draw a pony with their better half / Draw a pony finding someone special!

3 Boxes all the way Down - KiwiPLUR
Just like last year, Buck and I are doing NATG togeather again! despite my rocky start I'm excited to see it through to the end with him and 3DS again this year!!! Buck in particular's responsible for a lot of my growth this past year as he's often offered to correct perspective in my pieces or explain his process to me when drawing something. He's active in the EQD Discord round this time a year, and I'm sure he'll be willing to lend you a hand if he's got the time!

"Is that all for today sir?" said Corn Truffle as she floated the drink and burnt hayburger to the green humanoid figure. Little did she know, that behind her the stove pan had caught fire after she forgot to turn it off.

13 NATG 2024 day 6 - Filly Uk-ong’ufa learning the ropes of an apothecary - C_||_R
I did not expect a watermark that obtuse! ^^; Raised among Starkatteri, Uk-ong’ufa nevertheless was adopted and taught by perhaps the only compassionate equine in the whole village. Nyotikid taught her all manner of potions which would ease her occassional seizures, though Uk always proved better at writing about potions and herbs than preparing them!

Cookie remembering some pearls of wisdom (and another phrase she took to heart) from her old mentor, Knick Knack. Even a hardy mare like her can feel sentimental at times.

22 Don't Do It! - Mintwhistle
"But I can drive my crafting scooter just fine! What's wrong with a bus?" - Izzy (A rather loose interpretation of the second prompt, since I had trouble coming up with good ideas for either one. The only other pony I could think of who would write this would be Sprout's mom, Phyllis (pre-magic, of course.))

26 DWK on Degeneracy - Lore/Docard
It was alarmingly depressing to see this sketch after it was done, the depressing image and quote is distilled from a silly parody episode. DWK's humor is usually delightfully curmudgeonly, and really not meant for children. I highly recommend his Totally Legit Recaps on YouTube. (NSFW)

50 Ties to the past - Termyotter
Sort of used both prompts. A "pearl of wisdom" learned while "learning the ropes" that isn't really good can bind you down. There is something about a wrong piece of advice that somehow seems to stick around. You know its wrong, but a part of you can't let it go long after it no longer applies. The more insidious ones protect themselves, undermining attempts to reach out for help.
