Rising to the occasion can be tough, especially when so much is keeping you down. Your body, mind, and spirit might not be in it yet people still do so anyway. I know many of you are weary as we enter the last couple of days of the NATG, but if Celestia can pull through for a thousand years, rising to the occasion to raise the Moon with her sister gone, I'm sure you all can make it!
For today we brought in 44 ponies which now brings us up to 1622 ponies in total! A good showing everyone! Let's see how close to 2000 we can get!
Ah yes, Day 29. Remember how I mentioned that I hoped you could rise to the occasion? Well, Day 29 every year is a chance to test that. With us at the end of the NATG, it is time to take all the prompts we have done so far and see how many of them you can fit into a single prompt at once! It is a daunting task, but one I'm always curious to see each year. Of course, there is an alternate prompt as well for those who find that task too daunting. So without further ado: Draw as many previous prompts in a single picture as you can / Draw a pony feeling nostalgic.

41 "Mic Drop!" - Emerald Light
Jesus legit rising (from the dead) to the occasion! "By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures . . ." (1 Corinthians 15:2-4 NIV). I had to figure out how to draw a robe for this one. How to imply waves and folds was eluding me, but I gave it a shot. Also, I got to use the sphere shading tips from art class on the empty tomb and stone.

44 Celestia stops being a fraud - SuperSonicRainboom
Drew Celestia for this because she never rises to the occasion, like she is a fraud so I drew this as a sort of alternative scenario, instead of Twilight facing Tirek, she took matters into her own hooves
