• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 11

     

    Source - Buckweiser

    It's good to take a breather sometimes to help yourself rest or just get caught up on things you need or want to get done. Now that our first Makeup Day is over I am hoping everyone is feeling refreshed or, at the very least, feeling caught up and ready to tackle the next ten prompts!

    Before we get to that time for the pony count! Tonight we managed to bring in 59 ponies which now brings us up to 663 ponies in total!

    Now that we are all recharged or caught up I hope you are all ready to dive right back into the NATG with gusto! Today's prompt is an inspiration from that can do spirit as I would like you to Draw a pony reaching for the stars / Draw a pony willing to stop at nothing.

    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:

    Use that URL in the compiler for your image. Hopefully that works!

    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!

    14 NATG XIV Day 10 - "I Can't Stay Here" - Campfire Glow

    Art image 14
    Adopting the pony persona named Sugar Song was easy for Corium. A few days passing into Canterlot, collect love, leave. But after making friends, trying to keep up the facade takes a lot out of anyling that wants to stay in one place for a long time and not be discovered.
    15 Harold's Jam - GoldenMidnight (or Angus)

    Art image 15
    A ponified scene from the powerpuff girls episode titled "Supper Villian". This is the scene where he is working at the jam factory.

    22 Day 2: Tai's Drawing Comes to Life! - Taichi

    Art image 22
    Tai was not sure how it happened, but his drawing of a unicorn came to life! Perhaps it was that mysterious art shop owned by a little unicorn mare who sold him some enchanted art supplies?
    23 Day 3: Tiptoe Past Amber - Taichi

    Art image 23
    Amber is feeling frisky and lurks under her blanket nest at the foot of the stairs waiting for anyone to walk past her so she can leap out and bap them with her paw. Tai know he has little chance of getting away un-bapped, but attempts to tiptoe past her up the stairs anyway.

    Art image 24
    Tai had been burning the midnight oil trying to invent an impossible drawing tool. Belle can tell it's time for him to go do bed!
    25 Day 6: Stardust's Pearl of Wisdom - Taichi

    Art image 25
    Stardust offers a pearl of wisdom that anything easy should include an actual piece of cake as a reward. Princess Celestia would most likely agree with her, too.
    27 Day 7: Shade's Better Half - Taichi

    Art image 27
    Shade and her loving better half, Morpheus, share a loving moment together over a candle lit dinner for two.

    Skellinore takes her first steps and it's a bad time for Garbunkle!
    33 Shrouded - Frith

    Art image 33
    For Day 5, a pony shrouded in mystery. I used ZeFrank's Scribbler (downloaded) in Media Player Classic Home Cinema and then flipped the result to a negative image. If you wanted to get a copy of ZeFrank's Scribbler, it looks like it's gone now.
    35 How it could've ended. (Day 6) - Sleepless Eevee

    Art image 35
    I guess Novo is having a good day today.
    36 Crazy bug (Day 8) - Sleepless Eevee

    Art image 36
    This was traced from the episode "The beginning of the end". Not proud that I traced it, but I wanted to get every missed one done today.
    37 Bench buddies (Day 7) - Sleepless Eevee

    Art image 37
    This was completely rushed and doesn't look good in my opinion. I like Lyra's horn design though.
    38 Shrouded without the shrouds - Frith

    Art image 38
    For Day 5, a pony shrouded in mystery. Different drawing, different approach. ZeFrank's Scribbler again plus tricks.
    39 Wake Me Up Inside - Buckweiser

    Art image 39
    Belated Day 2 entry.

    43 "The Tempter" - Emerald Light

    Art image 43
    Looks pretty harmless, huh? This is for Prompt #1: Pony standing/standing his ground. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak" (Matthew 26:41).
    44 "Reading of Home" - Emerald Light

    Art image 44
    Drawing from the well! I decided to go faceless with this one, because I liked the more symbolic look when paired with the "house." "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body" (Philippians 3:20-21 NIV).
    45 13 Silver Dollars - SOENJAY

    Art image 45
    I get most of my inspiration from song lyrics. This one is my favorite song by the Canadian country artist Colter Wall. Everything about this situation screams "Mustang" but since Desert canonically wears a stetson, he gets to be the one drunk in a snowbank. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4getBk1onkY
    46 Day 1 Makeup: Uptown Canterlot - KiwiPLUR

    Art image 51
    This is me, learning to draw on a computer to make my first submission to the NATG.
    52 Mill Work - Frith

    Art image 52
    For the Day 9 task, a pony with a crummy job. Walking all day around and round a mill stone to grind grain, while blindfolded, would be about the crummiest job a pony could get. Could be worse, you could be on fire.
    53 Wheel of Fire - Frith

    Art image 53
    For the crummy job task, Day 9. Remember Applejack spinning the wheel running the cherry-sorting belt? At least it wasn't on fire.
