Now that is a blast from the past for me! Did anyone else here watch Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland? If you haven't, the whole thing is on YouTube and is worth a watch and I'm not just saying that because I grew up with it, heh.
For today we managed to pull in 46 ponies which now brings us up to 1279 ponies in total for the NATG so far! Keep pushing on everyone, you've got this!
While we dealt with the heavy topic of feeling defeated alongside ponies following their dreams, it is nice to know that even in your darkest moments there is usually a path out. It just takes a bit of searching to find it. So for you defeated feeling ponies out there I would like you to Draw a pony finding the light at the end of the tunnel / Draw a pony finding a glimmer of hope.

8 Following Dreams of a Mark - EmilyLsArt
Here's another Gusty picture...this time, she is following her dreams of a cutie mark (foreshadowed by the wind and leaves) since she doesn't have one yet at the time. I drew this pony three times so far LOL

20 I stay here! \o/ - Ragmo
Continuing from day 20 i was considering on making them fail and to let Caveman Pony strand in his original time (the past) - for the "feeling defeated" prompt. But I didnt want him to suffer :( and I dont know when the next prompt would come around that would fit on getting them back toghether. So... today didnt realy follow the prompt. Starlight was successfull at closing the time portal, and Caveman Pony will be with us for a long time. So have a "Draw a pony succeeding" prompt

Elloo, I finally turn in the recent prompt. I skipped the last one due to me having surgery to take out my wisdom teeth, don't worry I'm ok. Here's a drawing for Prompt #21, Draw a pony following their dreams / Draw a pony feeling defeated In this drawing, I drew Rainbow Dash as a Wonderbolt due to her dreams of becoming one, and in this case, it does come true.

A bit meta today. I sometimes feel like I can’t draw as good as I like and feel “defeated.” Expressing this frustration through today’s prompt.

35 Grogar's Game - Trap Trouble - Khazard
Even the best adventurers fall to a trap now and then, and it's hard to not feel down when it happens. Course, it would help if somepony else didn't set it off, feels really bad when that happens. But hey, mistakes happen to the best of us, just gotta keep moving

The "Wild West" standoff concludes with a winner: the sheriff! Looks like the sheriff finally wear down the bandit/outlaw in a fight. Too bad the outlaw didn't get a chance to outwit the sheriff before it ends...

What? What happened to "Draw a pony feeling right as rain / Draw a pony feeling under the weather"? That's what I worked on all day. I was looking forward to a gallery full of paint horses. 8^D Well, Spirit is following his dream(s) mare back to the freedom of which he dreams. 8^p *whinny*

The plot twist of the "Wild West" standoff concludes with a winner: the bandit/outlaw! Looks like the bandit/outlaw tire out the sheriff in the fight! A unfortunate loss, the sheriff can't even win against the bandit/outlaw this time! Next time, they will get an another chance to tire out the bandit/outlaw!
