Sometimes the mysterious can be eerie, scary, and offputting, but oftentimes in our lives, they are things we must face head-on lest we let ourselves be haunted by them forever. It builds our character, trains our courage and lets us endure even more down the line.
As we wrap up our mysteries for the day, we managed to bring in 50 ponies which now brings us up to 772 ponies altogether. Excellent work everyone!
One thing you might find yourself experiencing as an artist is suddenly finding one of your creations going viral, launching you into the sights of so many who had never seen your work before. It can be a scary experience, but also exciting and thrilling! And as our ponies themselves didn't expect to become so popular back in 2010 I think they share the same sentiment as I ask you to Draw a pony experiencing their 15 minutes of fame / Draw a pony in the spotlight.

23 The Perfume Department - SOENJAY
We aren't even half way through this year's NATG and I've already drawn a car, song lyrics, a ponified real life celebrity, an alcohol reference, and Spongebob meme. All that's left is a video game reference. I'm going to run out of ideas.

28 2024 ATG #12: MLP Fanart: Beaten Path - Blackblade360
Here's a drawing for Prompt #12, Draw a pony exploring a place lost to legend / Draw a pony off the beaten path In this fanart takes place in another universe of Equestria..or what the residents there think it’s Equestria…hint, look at the tags, might not work for Derpibooru... Twilight Sparkle and Applejack were just walking around, till Twilight fell into a cave. While exploring, she found what seems to be a very odd skeleton unlike anything that she has ever seen. The skull next to it has about 32 teeth, and has some medium size eyes unlike a regular pony skull. It also has a very small muzzle, according to twilight. There seems to be pieces of some ribcage, which is bigger than anypony that she has ever seen, alongside what seems to be an odd spinal cord. She also found an odd glowing object on a rock, and decided to take it as well for research, already knowing that taking anything from the ruins of old could lead to punishments…

30 Discovering Archos - EmilyLsArt
My newly made MLP OC, Gleamentine (Gleam) discovers the lost city of Archos, named after the illuminating arch shape over the gates. It was once home of a rare pony tribe before they vanished without a trace. Now Gleam has come to the area to solve the mystery of the lost tribe...if she proves herself worthy first. Maybe I'll write a story based on this piece someday...

The party stumbles across an old castle, fabled to be once owned by a centaur who kidnapped ponies to corrupt with the powers of darkness. Seems it's been abandoned for decades thankfully

It's so cool how never-before explored lands can just spring up through art! I rushed this one a lot, but I'm actually pretty happy with how it turned out. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" (Genesis 1:1 NIV)

Soooo, few references in here, particularly to the early days of G4 ponies. Was trying to think of a place name to explore and this just kinda came up. I doubt nothing good is in that cave...

47 The Search for Skyros - Mintwhistle
A weird interpretation of Skyros, based on the tapestry from "The Lone Alicorn". Sunny is talking to one of the alicorns in said tapestry, Izzy and Misty are just chilling in the rainbow water, Hitch is watching Sparky, and Pipp and Zipp are just there. (Partly inspired by the celebration pictures from Kirby Star Allies; Sunny is smaller because this was intended to have a chibi-ish style, but that didn't really pan out. This took me hours to make... Alternate versions with different sets of characters will be at the source later, hopefully tomorrow.)
