• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 27

    Being able to go to your happy place or to find a way to clear your head is just as important for artists as it is for the rest of us. In an age where we are looking out more and more for our mental health, it is important to take care of yourself and know when back away from our work and stressors and take some time for ourselves.

    As for our happy, relaxing ponies, we managed to get 51 ponies wrangled up today which now brings us to 1521 ponies in total! We finally broke the 1500 mark, everyone! Excellent job!

    Speaking of taking care of ourselves, I know you are all feeling pretty tired at this point. I am too, it takes a bit out of you hoping the prompts are good enough and having your schedule revolve around a certain time every single day. But we are in the home stretch with less than a week to go and I believe that of you can make it! So for today, to let us vent a little about how tired we all are, I'd like you Draw a pony feeling drained / Draw a pony in need of a recharge.

    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.

    Check on after the break for today's gallery!

    I do love a beautiful sunset. Nothing is quiet like it at the end of a peaceful day and it's a great way to help clear your mind of everything that is bothering you.

  • Fanfiction (Scouted): A Lovely Day for Rain

    [Normal]


    Author:Flameon_Heart


    Description:Princess Cadance has missed a lot after moving to the frozen North and becoming the ruler of the New Crystal Empire. She misses the sunshine and the birds, sure, but what she misses the most is the rain. Having so many fond memories of rainy days, and not having any rain within the kingdom's ecosystem, Cadance decides to head for Canterlot when she hears they are expecting a storm. Cadance heads off to Equestria's capital, ready to experience something she has not felt in a long time...
