Well, here we are everyone, the final day of the NATG for this year. It's crazy to think that another one has come and gone but as always it has been a lot of great fun! It's been lovely seeing familiar faces as well as new folks joining even as we approach our 15th year doing the NATG here on Equestria Daily. It has been a long road to get here, but now there is only one hurdle left before we can wrap everything up.
For our Makeup Day, we managed to bring in 51 ponies which brings us up to 1718 ponies in total for the event so far. Just one more day to get that total pushed up everyone! Keep up the good work!
Now for all of you who have kept tabs on the NATG over the years, the final day is one of celebration! Even if you only did one prompt you should feel proud just for trying and for those of you who pushed on through every prompt over the past month I am proud of you for what your willpower has managed to accomplish. We would not have all of these pony images generated by this event year after year without you all. And so, in celebration of what you all have accomplished, I'd like you to Draw a pony graduating / Draw a pony reaching the end of the line.

15 "Life Beats" - Emerald Light
17 "He Rides Again!" - Emerald Light
For Prompt 29 (Last one was for #26). This work combines prompts 1,4,5,15,18, and 19 at least. Hi ho, Silver!--wait, wrong western XD. "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching" (Hebrews 10:23-25 NIV).

20 Day 12: Nightwhsiper Manor - Taichi
Sunny and friends learned of a strange place far in the outskirts of Ponyville, a place forgotten, neglected, and for good reason with the tales of strange sightings and something ominous about the old mansion that was believed to once be the home of a prince of Tartarus. The bleached hydra skulls stand as testament to the past occupant's skill. Trophies of a time long ago. The legends say anypony who dares to pass the threshold is doomed to never come back the same, and that it could hold relics unknown...

40 Rhapsody in Blue - Optimistic Neighsayer
100 years ago, one of the most durable pieces in the American classical repertoire, Rhapsody in Blue, had its first performance. There is definitely something very magical about Gershwin's works, from his Broadway tunes that have become jazz standards to his bold classical works aiming for a synthesis of high art and popular culture (at least, popular when he was around). Someday, I hope to be able to compose like him.
