• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 18

     


    What's interesting about fear is that it can be expressed in so many different ways in media as our header artist Darksly has so aptly demonstrated this evening. Same with any emotion, and that's why I take some time to allow you all to have prompts dedicated specifically to emotions. Much like how your own style is unique to yourself, how you express emotions with that style is unique to you as well!

    As we get closer to day 20, tonight we managed to bring in 58 ponies which brings us to 1031 ponies in total! We did it, everyone! We finally made it over the 1000 pony pic barrier! Excellent work!

    For today I was particularly inspired by the temperature lately. Being in the Midwest, we're experiencing a bit of a heat wave so I feel tonight's prompts reflect not only that but allow a bit of flexibility as well as I ask you all to Draw a pony taking the heat / Draw a pony chilling out.

    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 8
    Fluttershy scared and broken to collapse on the ground after hearing Dragon's snore. Insert goat noise effect here. (Based from Dragonshy)

    Art image 11
    Pipp Petals doing the terrified emoji face (since she's into social media a lot). Another rushed drawing since I have a busy day ahead.
    13 The Darkness - Star

    Art image 13
    The question of purpose often comes at night, without a desire to fight. The opportunity for change slips through my grasp as sandy grain. One soul can have an impact if they know the right way to act. The idea of the butterfly effect often leads me to feel deficit. Only if I knew what to do, then I would make the first move.
    14 Avoid the Ziphius (NATG 2024 Day 17) - IronYoshi

    Art image 14
    While exploring Glaciana, Icy and Lilly stumble across the Ziphius! They try to hide from the dreadful beast, but if you can hear its distinct clicking, then it knows where you are...

    18 NATG2024d17 - Scared Out of Her Wits - C_||_R

    Art image 18
    Whether it's the height, or the crowd of hominids crowded around the pedestal they've put her on, Fluttershy's having a bad time :<

    21 NATG XIV Day 17: Sweets for a Snake - AceBlazewing

    Art image 21
    Even if she's just making treats for a snake or carrying a harmless one on her hoof, an ophidiophobe like Blaze still feels like Pecan is a lot braver than he is, and admires her for it.

    24 Alone... - Mintwhistle

    Art image 24
    Izzy finds herself alone in a white void. None of her friends are there, or even her shadow... (I think Izzy would have a fear of being alone/abandoned, since she wouldn't want to be lonely again.)
    26 spooky - 32232232

    29 "Big Tech" - Emerald Light

    Art image 29
    I did the meme. Today's verse: "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV).
    34 Dear Celestia - SOENJAY

    Art image 34
    Used colored pencil instead of ink this time. I don't know how I feel about this one.
    36 2024 ATG #17: MLP Fanart: Scared - Blackblade360

    Art image 36
    Here’s a drawing for Prompt #17, Draw a pony scared out of their wits / Draw a pony scared stiff In this artwork, or comic page, shows an early stage for both my ocs relationship, Heartbeat and Stone Wave. In this case, Heartbeat has to slowly adjust to living with him, and also having some random scars there and there that sometimes give her some slight PTSD. At least Stone Wave is there to help her out Derpibooru: https://derpibooru.org/images/3385842
    37 Scary at any Size - Termyotter

    Art image 37
    Sometimes changelings can return from taking a shape with some of the fears brought on from that previous shape. They just spent a day as a beetle and nearly got taken down by a spider...its sometimes hard to bounce back from that right away.
    40 The Terror of Derpfoot! - Oxfordinary

    Art image 40
    Continued from my previous entry! More Derpfoot, terrorizing the hapless picnic-goers.

    51 A Terrified Apology - Novaintellus

    52 Stage Fright - Optimistic Neighsayer

    Art image 52
    The joke was so frightening that we have redacted it for your protection.
    55 Fluttershy Quivering - SuperSonicRainboom

    Art image 55
    No pony would fit this prompt better than Fluttershy considering her timid nature so I drew her, yeah this was a bit rushed again too I have to break this cycle
    56 Wait, What Was That? - Campfire Glow

    Art image 56
    At the end of The Curse of the Statuettes adventure in the caverns of Umberfoal, the party has delved into areas that are dark and pealing with foreign sounds. With her unicorn friends illuminating the path ahead, Haversack is regretting running out of candles for herself to use as they progress.

    The party gets some more dungeon crawling done, but that's not the only thing crawling down there. Be careful what you may wake up when adventuring...
