• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 28

     


    I think Sweetie here has us figured out for today if looking at our gallery is any indication: tons of sleepy and completely depleted ponies. While I do want you all to keep up with your drawings, I also want to make sure you all take a break after the event is over. To succeed at anything we all need to give ourselves some time to recharge so we can tackle it again with renewed vigor!

    For today's total we managed to bring in 57 ponies bringing us up to 1578 ponies in total! Excellent work as always everyone! I'm proud you're all keeping up as best you can as we enter the end of the NATG.

    Speaking of keeping up with the NATG even as we get close to the end it can feel daunting to get through the last few days, yesterday's prompt showed that with you all expressing how tired you are. But with only a few more days to go and the end in sight, I hope you can draw on the last of your reserves and make it to the end! For our last non-traditional prompt I would like you all to Draw a pony rising to the occasion / Draw a pony taking the bull by the horns. 

    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.

    13 Hug recharge - KevinHz19

    Art image 13
    Pinkie Pie possibly in need of recharge for being Pinkie Pie. And what better way for her to recharge than hugging a best friend? I know, she has five best friends to count on than only Rainbow Dash. But she is the closest at the moment for Pinkie Pie to hug.

    You can have a really bad month, been transformed in a fish, dropped your icecream, get hit by a troll-train... but don't worry. Your friends will always be there to help you recharge your batteries.

    16 Tired Misty... - Mintwhistle

    Art image 16
    Life is hard when you're stuck with a "mother" like Opaline. Good thing she met the Mane Five... (Decided to try drawing without a reference image for once. This one would take place before "Missing the Mark" or Make Your Mark chapter 4 as a whole.)
    17 "Between Tests" - Emerald Light

    Art image 17
    Sweetie Bot Mk.1 needs a recharge! I decided to go with a different face than is typical for a Sweetie Bot; this face seems reminiscent of an earlier model, before the inventors could get her mechanical eyes down. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come" (2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV). ~P.S.~ My entry for Day 26 was based off of observation of this screenshot (I forgot to link it in my upload): https://www.pinterest.com/pin/371687775502228867/

    Here's a drawing for Prompt #27, Draw a pony feeling drained / Draw a pony in need of a recharge Just a simple artwork of Pipp charging her phone before going to sleep, kinda similar to me when I charge my phone around nighttime at 10pm. Derpibooru: https://derpibooru.org/images/3392612

    Final stretch; Time to recharge yourself for the last sprint. Btw please dont lick on batteries :P Might not be deadly, but its definitely not pleasent. Just something quick today (and mostly tomorrow aswell), I had a Magic the gathering day today and came back quite late. Will have a "Das Schwarze Auge" (The Dark Eye(?)) PnP day tomorrow.

    Collaborating with Pinkie Pie comes with its share of excitements and headaches, lol Still, could this be considered a date for Blaze and Pecan? It may very well be. =)

    38 Hybrid Alicorn - Termyotter

    Art image 38
    The newer model alicorns are hybrids. We do caution to make sure to turn off horn and wings during sleep to prevent de-charging of internal reserves and reduce time on the charging pad. The primary pony systems still do run on hot bean water as a primary fuel source though.

    45 Drained - Frith

    Art image 45
    So this prompt is like the prequel to the day 26 prompt, prior to the happy place of recharging. Hmmm. Like in The Wizard of Oz, this scenario starts out in black and white. Same materials and workflow as yesterday.
