And with another Makeup Day done and dusted, we are now in the home stretch as we tackle the last 10 prompts for this year's NATG. It's always crazy just how fast this event goes by, but all good things have to eventually come to an end, yeah?
For today, we managed to get 48 ponies which brings us up to 1233 ponies in total! Let's see how close we can get to 1500 everyone! Keep up that amazing work!
As we return to our regular prompts, I was inspired for the day 21 prompts by my artist friends. Often as an artist, you'll run into the many highs and lows of the craft, either being really proud of your work or feeling as if you're in a rut. I've even seen it to a degree in the NATG chat from day to day! So to take notice of those joys and sorrows for today's prompt you'll Draw a pony following their dreams / Draw a pony feeling defeated.

I drew Cookie as a dragon and Syntax as a griffon during a previous ATG, but now Pastel, Blazewing, and Pecan get to join the fun of being different creatures as well. =)

3 Day 8: Tai Loses His Mind Over Drawing Art - Taichi
Tai is pushing himself too much over drawing again and losing his mind! Belle is used to these pony panic meltdowns, and has her bonker at the ready.

Sometimes Tai needs a little security as back up when he has to do some side work for his art supply fund. The creeps don't seem to understand personal space.

11 Off the Beaten Path - Frith
Day 12, off the beaten path. After a 12 hour day in the chocolate mines (not counting my unpaid lunch hour) I was too drained to work on this prompt apart from deciding what to draw. In my Wildlife encyclopedia, there's a picture of an ibex chilling all cool on top of an impossible-to-climb pillar of bare rock. Yas, now that's off the beaten path by rights. I ran with that. Coloured pencils for the pone, pastels for the rest.

27 The Peak - Equestria Exploration
Wasn't completely satisfied with yesterday's image, specifically the illustration. So, I ended up reworking it so as to give more life to the villager ponies (ironically given the context).

32 "The Sinful Nature" - Emerald Light
For Prompt #15, the crossover one. I did Star Wars, and decided to give Emerald Pencil more of a crouching pose, although the robe kind of hides it. "“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve.” (Jeremiah 17:9-10 NLT).

Return of everyone's favorite background character... the couch. Also a new pony. His name is Rustic Flick. He sees Mustang as an older brother type. He is a creative and loves making fun movies with his friends.

38 Making Peace - Frith
This would be task #19, a pony finding peace with themselves. That would be through acceptance, thus Celestia has made peace with her actions, embraces her regrets and merges with them to become whole. Coloured pencils on paper to better show that Celestia prime is going translucent as she is merged into Celestia proper.

43 Grogar's Game - Breaking Time - Khazard
Making up for the Day 20 prompt A rogue mage has stolen the secrets of time magic, and the party is sent to track him down out of fear of what abusing such powerful forces can bring. They track him down and get him cornered, but he can halt any attempt they make to bring him in. Tempest steps up to bat despite her spells being locked. She however takes this as a challenge, conjuring more and more spells to throw. They are in a stalemate of spell creation and freezing, however time magic has its limits, and in a way he's only making this oncoming barrage worse for himself.
