• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 26

     


    Never tried pineapple on pizza, but maybe I should just to see what all of the fuss is about. Maybe I shouldn't risk it though if it makes me out to be pure evil, heh.

    Another night and that means we have some more ponies for you tonight! We managed to bring in 50 ponies which now brings us to 1470 ponies in total! Nice work everyone!

    We've had villainous ponies, secrets being uncovered, and deals being done under the table the past couple of days so how about something a little more lighthearted before we wrap up the NATG for the year? We don't have all that many days left so lets try a more peaceful prompt by having you all Draw a pony finding their happy place / Draw a clearing their mind. 

    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!

    Attention Discord Users:
    For those of you with Discord we are really pulling out all the stops this year as we have a channel on EqD's official Discord server called #artist-training-ground for you to hang out in with your fellow artists during the event. You can join our Discord server here.

    Art image 3
    I don't consider Apple Bloom rotten to the core but it was her turn after the other CMC and the prompt seriously reminded me of that Anya meme face so I did it.

    Art image 13
    Rival treasure hunters who try to stop you and steal what you're questing after, or a petty snob whose worst weapon is repetitive insults? Not a difficult choice to make, lol

    15 Which half will it be? - Ragmo

    Art image 15
    Uhh I've seen that somewhere. She's offering a red and white apple half, which one will you choose? Oh wait... this somewhat doesn't work in a gray world. Time to push your luck. I try to get one of those into every NATG if i can come up with an idea (where color matters, and the rest of object A and B to choose are identical). We already had red/blue pill and cutting wires on a bomb. in the last years. Let's see what it will be next time
    16 NATG2024d25 - Dash (trying to) Choose the Lesser of Two Evils - C_||_R

    Art image 16
    So we have Dash at some point in time before S7e23's 'Secrets and Pies' (implied here to be her first year in Ponyville with the '1' balloon), choosing either which pie she'd dislike less, or whether it would be worse to upset Pinkie- only to realise she could just use her skills at being fast to fake it for years.

    24 Fighting Her Demons - Nedemai

    Art image 24
    Tried a few small differences which I think were successful. Smaller ears, some mild changes with how I constructed body shapes... definitely needs more practice.

    Art image 27
    Here's a drawing for Prompt #25, Draw a pony choosing the lesser of two evils / Draw a pony rotten to the core. In this fanart, hows how the wasteland can have some other dangers other than feral ghouls, its raiders. This scene is another prequel where they have a huge fight. Off screen, Cherry Barry is fighting Wing Crasher (tho lets just say he was was wounded real quick), Grassy Shot is fighting Bone Head, and Sharpeye is fighting Red Horn. Then there's Ronlick (another oc), watching the battle.. After the battle, the heroes then head straight to a nearby town, in which its nearby Stable 49.
