Is Twilight on to something and is about to turn Equestria on its head or has she finally lost it? All we know is that Starlight looks quite concerned for her friend.
While we may have had our ponies losing their minds today I certainly hope that wasn't the case for you all! Thanks to your efforts we managed to bring in 61 ponies today which brings us up to 493 ponies as we head into Sunday. Nice work everyone!
Today's prompt goes to all of you who are working hard at the same time while you're doing the NATG. Many artists have to work while finding time to pursue their passions with the dream of one day supporting themselves with their art full-time. It takes a long time to get to that point, but if you stick with it and gather a following I know you all can do it! That's why for today I'd like you to Draw a pony working for peanuts / Draw a pony working a crummy job.

I'm surprised the prompt didn't literally say "Draw a pony who lost their marbles." Also, why do some cartoons depict insane people wearing a Napoleon hat?

This is something I feel myself, trying to juggle so many incomplete story projects...But just as Blazewing has friends like Pecan to give him a bit of comfort when he's feeling low, I feel grateful to also have friends who encourage me and lend support when I'm feeling unsure. =)

Probably the fastest NATG drawing I've done this year (so far), since it took me less than an hour to do. Features a batty Twilight, with a loose and messy brush for the background and coloring. (side note: had trouble writing this description.)

29 crack - Jakub Majewski
In case you haven’t figured it out, it’s a reference to one famous scene from Family Guy. I had this idea floating in my head for a while, but due to being busy with classes, I was putting it off. After I noticed Newbie Artist Training Ground taking place, I decided to participate. I'd like to submit something for other days as well, hopefully I will have both the time and the ideas.

This represents the mind. One side can be straight forward in thinking, the other thrives with jagged and twisted lines, allowing to feel creativity and other emotions.

I don't know, that pony seems kinda shifty.... I can't really take credit for this gag. This is from an old Wayne and Shuster comedy bit called "Rinse the Blood off my Toga", a telling of Shakespear's Julius Caesar as a private investigator type show.

Autumn hasn't exactly had much interaction with other ponies so it'd make sense she'd lose her mind a little bit and to keep herself occupied she talks to her little hoof friend

61 Grogar's Game - Mind Flaying - Khazard
The first real big fight has come, fighting a dangerous mindflayer. They thought they'd be able to handle this efficiently, but two of them get caught under it's fearsome mind control! Luckily though, the undead lack brains to be controlled, allowing a sneak attack to finish this off quick.
