• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Makeup Day 2

     


    Like Death and Taxes, a Pinkie Pie hug is inevitable. You might hide from it, you might be prepared for it, but Pinkie will always find a way to surprise you. In the end, it is just best to accept such a fate.

    And with tonight wrapping up our 20th prompt, we managed to bring in 48 ponies today which now brings us up to 1185 ponies as we head into the weekend!

    Speaking of the weekend, there is no better time than for our second Makeup Day! For those of you working hard and managing to get in all of the prompts so far, feel free to take a breather or even try one of the prompts over again. If you missed a prompt or two, now is your chance to get them finished and submitted!

    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!

    When you think about it, the game's a good metaphor for life. Sometimes you pull ahead into a comfortable 1st place - and then BAM, you get blue shelled.

Time doesn't take kindle when it gets altered and wants Caveman Pony back where he's supposed to be. But after all those years he found a new home and lots of friends. Let's hope Starlight can save the situation ?

    "As the daughters of the Night, the Fates ruled the dark destinies of human (pony)kind. A golden thread represented each person's life and destiny that the Fates spun on their spinning wheel. Once a person's life ended, the sisters cut the thread. Clotho spun the thread, Lachesis (the allotter of time) measured it, and Atropos cut it when it was time for someone to die.

    Inspired by concept art from MLP the Movie (2017) where Twilight gains a magical upgrade similar to the rainbow power seen in the show. In my version of it, the power saves her from inevitable death in battle, but for how long?...

    The cruel twisting of fate, to be warped by corporate whim, the past falling to ruin and the tide of change sweeping it all away to oblivion. Bye Pinkie, there is no delaying the inevitable.

    “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it. (Matthew 13:44-46 NIV).
