Newbie Artist Training Grounds: Day 3

Artist Training Grounds, I should have banned Pinkie Pie edition. I think in a week or so I might experiment with disallowing the images that follow too obvious, but now that I've typed that I out it feels too mean. Perhaps an incentive system? You can get bonus points for looking for ways to trot off the beaten path, and then at the end you can trade in your points for... shoot I don't have anything to give away except smiles and hugs. I hope those are good enough! Today's image count: 277 ponies in all!

We have a new system for submissions now, sure to cause 63.7% less stress. Roughly speaking. See this post for details. Also, as this is already becoming something of an issue, here's an extra reminder to pay attention to the theme. I'm giving you guys a huge amount of leeway, but part of the reason for the themes is to force you to exercise your creative muscles in as many different ways as possible. If you give me 30 days worth of ponies standing there like lumps with placid smiles, that's not really helping you out! When I ask for jumping ponies, I expect them to jump. Or have jumper cables attached to them. More on that after the break.

The Theme of the Day

Draw a pony dressed as The Great and Powerful Trixie! That's right, to please our prestigious premier purveyor of pony pleasures, Phoe presents this perfect proposal: it's Trixie Cosplay night! Bonus points for including an irate, disrobed Trixie somewhere. Remember, Sethisto is watching! =D



I think I've rambled enough for one evening. Get ready everypony, because the exctiement is just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump away!

edit - actually, a personal note. It's super late at night right now, and I just got off the phone with my sister. She was calling to inform me the cat that we've had since I was 11 years old was put down this afternoon. I loved that cat. I keep trying to say the word 'goodbye', and every time I do I burst into tears. I've got a lot of backed up images right now and not a lot of time - I'm working but it's hard to focus. But, one thing I've noticed is that many of you have been sending me words of encouragement or notes of thanks along with your images. These things might be directly related, but it's really helping me a lot. So thank you. You're all awesome. And now, your regularly scheduled pony influx. New edit: All entries now posted. Whee~

Yay #59 today!

Everypony is jumping around!

haha that sounds retarded!

Muffinsforever said...

219 YA! I wanted it to be a litle more 4th wall kinda, but ripping space works.

I will say now that just throwing a drawing into Gimp without knowing how to use it is a bad idea if your on a sorta time limit. Curse the blue dots and white grays!

Frank said...

So sorry to hear about your loss! Stay strong!

Aw, Phoe, I'm sorry.
Would you like a hug?
(To be honest, I don't care about your answer, I'm hugging you anyway!)
*Huggles*
I've never got a chance to own a cat, even though I love those little animals oh-so much.
I hope you feel at least 20%(100% is more acceptable) better soon!
-On a slightly related note:
#37! I hope my first ever attempt at Pinkie/Pogo Pie was at least slightly pleasing to everyone!

Corgi said...

I'm so sorry about your cat. S/he's at the Rainbow Bridge now, waiting for you.

Pony hugs <3

MasterofRoku said...

@Jake
I'm sure they'll get to yours, alot of drawings were sent. Mine's isn't up there...yet.

BronyQuest said...

Looks like I wasn't the only one with the idea to draw the CMC on a trampoline! But it looks as if my rendition if the poorer-looking of the two. S'all good, though!

ZMorris said...

@BronyQuest

But yours was funnier.

Robin said...

*huggles Phoe* My heart-kitty died a few days after I went back to college. I know it hurts a lot.

It will get better, I promise.


. . . and only semi-related . . . thanks for all of your hard work sharing these pics! :D You must be incredibly patient.

Anonymous said...

Aww, poor cat, I hope you get better! I had the same with my pet fish, Bacon and Eggs.. they were good fish..

I'd love a cat too. Keep trotting along, seth! :D

Flaskgarg said...

Wait, how did you figu- I Mean I'm not John L. I'm Flaskgarg. Who is this John L. person? And why is he, the handsome, implorable, awesome devil that is he, using my picture? hmmmm.....
Also, sweet mercy, this newbie training thing is totally epic.
(HAHAHAHA I CAN'T DRAW THEM LEGS RIGHT IF I TRIED AS HARD AS THE SUN HAHAHAHAHA)

Anonymous said...

Still going with the community even through a loss like that, Your quite the pony aren't ya Phoe
(also i'm perfectly willing to wait till tomorrow (or later today technically) to see the rest of them if you need it, and i'm sure most others would agree)

Duskfly said...

#206!

Why so many pogos? Never has that cross my mind.

I knew Pinkie Pie was going to be the spotlight of this theme. Lot's of them as predicted.

Other than that, it's just great to see everyone-elses work. Lots of fun.

I even improved on my drawing skills. I was able to draw much quicker than before and able to get it colored.

Great job everypony!

#137 is mine! SO happy as to how it came out being the FIRST anything i've ever drawn.. eee! -RBD fangasp-

THANK you very much Phoe for this AMAZING event!

BronyQuest said...

@ZMorris

I was going to draw a dazed Scootaloo poking her head out of the hole she made in the ground, but... I got lazy. :D

Aeiou said...

I'm really sorry to hear about your cat Phoe. But I'm glad that we can help you this way by drawing ponies that make you smile! Live brony strong! And know that we support you!

Phoe said...

@Jake

If you sent it to me before midnight PST and don't see it, that either means you sent me a non-jumpy pony, or it's one of the 24 I didn't have time for. I have those saved and will upload them after I sleep. It's 3:30 here in Phoeville.

Goodnight, everypony. I love you all.

Flaskgarg said...

Just read up on your cat, bromod, saaaaaddd times we be facing for a while. I now feel bad, your cat died, I didn't know your cat. And for some strange reason, I only feel bad when someone or something I didn't know dies. Can make for awkward conversation.....
Anyway, hope you cheer up, my bromod.

ZMorris said...

@BronyQuest

Damn you laziness. Still, at least yours is colored too.

Also, I just realized nobody did a Supah Mario jump and I now hate myself for not thinking of it.

Anonymous said...

#3. wow didn't think i got it in that early. So many awesome Ponies!!

Duskfly said...

G'night Phoe. Thanks for your time with this.

Taco Bandit said...

Phoe I'm truly sorry to hear about your cat. *hugs* That cat is in a better place now and one day you guys will meet again

Great job everypony! A little less then last time but great pictures nevertheless. I'm sorry about the Pinkie Pie, it was obvious with the jumping and I went with it. I'll try to make it more of a surprise next time.

Chromadancer said...

Wow, lots of great entries! My chicken scratch doodles pale in comparison... Drawing has never been a strong point for me, but I want to get better.

Also, sorry to hear about your cat :(

Vega said...

Sorry about your cat, Phoe...it's always hard losing pets.

But hey, rocket pogo stick to cheer you up.

RaspleZS said...

Wow. Only 2 ponies, #55(tekkorun) & #245(me) thought of jumper cables?

But on the other hoof, more than 1 pony thought of jumper cables!

...and condolences on the loss of a dear friend.

Thattagen said...

FAVOTIRES(typos are funny):
Oh dear Celestia I could be typing this all night...
Um...
Goku Pony (65) and Batmare (69)
All the ones with Derpy
Pinkie + Kangeroo (85)
Rainbowiyuken! (89)
Colts of Hazzard (93)
Exploding muffin (111)
(122)
(123)
(138) What a cool OC/anime pony

Argh! I give up!

Mine is...169! Another of my OC's ponified! Chelsea "Celare" Arineo, now better known as "Sidearm" has retained her ability to hide countless small and medium-sized firearms with sleight-of-hoof, but the fact that she doesn't have any fingers makes them difficult to shoot! The entries from last time inspired me to improve, so I added color, then went crazy with effects. I don't know if I can outdo this one!

And sorry about your cat, Phoe. Keep strong!

Spurs said...

Dang, I caught a few errors after I submitted it. That always seems to happen to me.

Marcoooootje1 said...

Aww I'm sorry for your cat, it hurts so much when a loved one passes away ;(

Nullh said...

Oops, forgot to change the subject of my email for yesterday :/ C'est la vie.
Feel better, Phoe!

BronyQuest said...

@ZMorris
Hmm, looks like my comment didn't go through.
I would have drawn poor ol' Scootaloo, but I haven't slept in over 40 hours, and I had already spent an hour on that picture. Maybe if I manage to get some sleep, I'll feel up to spending more time on tomorrow submission.

And I'm stealing that Mahweeo jump idea in case any future themes allow me to use it. You've been warned.

SonicRainboom93 said...

@Spurs lol, happens to me all the time too once i actually post/submit my art :P lol xD

Zephire said...

Aww, I'm so sorry to hear about your cat, Phoe. I know how hard it is to lose a pet unexpectedly like that :( You have my deepest sympathy for your loss *hug*
--
So many great entries again! And more than once I found myself laughing at the situations people put the ponies in.

Though now I feel a bit guilty about drawing Pinkie Pie in #85. But... it was too good a chance to pass up. I'll make up for it by drawing some less common background pony next time, I swear.

djTeka said...

I know I'm not the first to say it, but hearing about your cat, added onto the fact you've been going through everyone's pictures to put them up here, you are a real pony trooper, Phoe.

I hope you can feel comfort in these hard times, and know that there are probably many (including myself) that couldn't handle this as well as you are.

Sorry I couldn't include a pogo stick in mine, but look on the bright side, I didn't use Pinkie! (Hmm, is that really a bright side?)

Anyways, good job everyone, and good luck to everyone in future days of the Training Grounds! (that includes you, Phoe. Hope the new system works better for you. :] )

ZMorris said...

@BronyQuest

Hey, I'm in the same sleep-deprived boat man. I really shouldn't be online at all right now... Meh.

Also, stealing? *monocle pop* Oh my.

Shadow Dash said...

I only now realize there was a dog hair on the paper when I took a picture of my drawing. It's on the muffin in #82.

Kooldude said...

@JakeI know how you feel

Kooldude said...

I'm sorry for the loss of you cat. I have lost a pet too.

Basharoonskis said...

Aha wow. Actually man, my friend immediately thought of the Mario jump thing when the theme came up, but he scrapped that after he thought too many people would be doing it.

Awesome ponies btw guys.

Oh, and thank you for advice on backgrounds.

Phoe, I am so sorry to hear about you loss. I'm a cat person, too, so I have some idea of what you're going through. I also want to thank you for all the hard work you have put into this event so far. It's been a really fun way of stretching me as and artist, not to mention how fun it is to see everypony else's awesome drawings. Keep your head up.

Wontorres said...

Also, my condolences. I loved my pet cats very much and my day would turn sad if any of them passes away.

Michael said...

Oh wow #30 was exactly what I was trying to do! That person is awesome for having the same cool idea. I wasn't able to pull it off though :/

Artists went wild with this theme. There's a lot of funny and imaginative entries. In particular: 55, 69, 89, 96, 120, 122 and 232.

Sorry for your loss, Phoe.

I'm sorry about your cat, Phoe... :(

#143 here. Woah! That's quite a lot of pony, and a lot of pinkies. (although I'm guilty of drawing Pinky too)and also quite a lot of pogo-sticks.
well done everypony.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, Phoe.

I'm not surprised that I wasn't the only one to have Pinkie jumping into space.

... I am surprised that I was the only one to include the Space Sphere. I thought it was mandatory nowadays.

Aaaaaaand we are all caught up! Thank you for your patience everypony! If you still don't see yours, please first look again - there's a very real chance I derped your username and that will mess up all you ctrl-f folks. And if it really truly isn't there, that means there was a problem. I had at least one picture mailed to me that turned into an incomprehensible blob of code when I opened the e-mail, and apart from that there were a few naughty ponies who just wouldn't jump. I've sent those to the moon.

Can't wait to see today's entries! And get my new robot servants to compile them for me! =D

Mine must have been one of those coded messes then =( I'm pasting it here instead! ^^ http://crazytiny.blogg.se/images/2011/cmc-bungy-jumpers_150152593.jpg

blindferret said...

Just confirming, mine didn't look like it was flying at all, was it?
Also, sorry to hear about your cat.

Kt Kat said...

I'm 154... been drawing all my life and still I make major mistakes like making Applejack a pinhead. .___. I fixed my version of the file but I had already submitted it here. Oh well, this is all about learning! :D

Anyways, I'm glad I didn't go with my original idea of the CMC on a trampoline as BronyQuest and Zachary already did, heheh! ;) But glad somebody did it! Way too cute.

Phoe said...

@Rannva

I have corrected this grave injustice in the name of everypony in the world still looking for their special talent. Too awesome.

@blindferret

Unfortunately, yours was one of the ones I had to disqualify on the grounds that it looked pretty clearly like a standing pony. If I misinterpreted the action then I apologize, but I stared at that thing for like 15 minutes trying to come to a decision. I wanted to post Freddie Mercupony! But if I don't draw lines, then I'm undercutting my own attempts at encouraging creativity. Sorry...

Atlur said...

Good to see I'm not the only one that had a pony jumping dramatically from an explosion (#173)

Anonymous said...

Yay, mine is 90 (I'm honestly surprised that more people came up with a jumper cables pun than this.) 113 is awesome, especially considering the fact that it's by a 12 year old! Other than that, my favorites are probably 133, 152, 201, 267, and 270.

FoxOfWar said...

Seems my pic did not find its' way there.

*shrugs* T'was just another Pinkie Bounce(tm) anyway. Can be found here if you're curious: http://foxofwar.deviantart.com/#/d3heot4

Onto next challenge!

Squidbombed said...

My picture didn't make it again. :( I just realized that the e-mail I was using just might be problematic, so I'm kinda glad that we aren't doing it through e-mail anymore.

SnarkyShark2010 said...

Our 17 year old dog is on his last leg these days, so I will be going through the same thing soon :( Sorry about your cat, but maybe some awesome pony pictures will help cheer you up! :)

Number 248. yay!

Oelderoth said...

Everybody, these are some really nice drawings.

Mine was #109. It came out better than expected considering that it was the first pony that I didn't flat-out copy from the show.

jaayro said...

Mine's 77. Urgh the head looks so awkward

Phoe said...

Just realized by updating the images I broke the part where Seth pointed everypony to the new submission system. I fixed it now, and hopefully I'm finished derping for the day. Exceeding my quota.

Luna said...

Mine didn't show-up this time.
And I was sure the CMC were going to finally find their cutie marks this time.

Charles said...

Mine is 110. I regret not writing his name. It is Bomb-bay -_-.

Desert Rose said...

Mines number 70.
And considering i haven't drawn anything semi-seriously in 5 years.....


Also went into gimp for 4 hours to attempt to colour it....

I wonder how much easier it could be with Photoshop

AlterForm said...

30: Love the swooping motion. Very cool.
50: Beautiful shading.
55: Clever girl...
72: And then she grabbed the apple, and they made out. It was hot.
80: I find something strangely intriguing about this style. I'd like to see it used with a more detailed piece.
86: Reminds me of that old book "The Phantom Tollbooth." Man, nostalgia...
89: 623P
92: Didn't Pinkie cause a massive explosion the last time we gave her coff-- BOOM
102: Those are some incredibly creepy expressions. Me likey.
119: Can you read the third line on my cutie mark? Good!
129: I LOL'd
154: Love the linework. This one is going in my design reference folder.
173: Cool foals don't look at explosions. They just blow things up and then JUMP AWAY.
189: Rocket pogo stick. Nice.
198: ow...ound...round...ground! I assume the petunias are lamenting their fate off screen.
209: ...whoa. Way cool.
231: INFINITE POGO WORKS
232: U MAD, PONIE?

@Phoe

Okay, that's what it was. 55 ought to be under the name "Partition"

100% understandable though, I know what it's like to lose a pet that's very close to you. Lots of love for you, Phoe!

#67 checking in

I was trying to go for an in your face jump which went relatively well, still haven't quite gotten the hang of the ponies form from all sides but I'm getting there,just wish I wasn't doing these so late at night cause I could put some time into colouring if I wasn't, what do you guys think?

Ricky said...

What I learned today:

RD can do a shoryuken, derpy can't jump, and CMC always gets hurt doing something jump related.

Anonymous said...

GHOST BLOWJOB WOO WOO WOO. I drew 270, feels john goodman.

FlareBlade said...

#264 here. My first try at a yonger pony.

Kitty Tail said...

@Michael

No, You are awesome ^^!

thanks ;)

Lia said...

Phoe, you are a force of nature.
Also, awesome drawings you guys :)

naektpov said...

I missed day 2 but I'm drawing for day 3!

And sorry about your cat Phoe, that's rough :(

Anonymous said...

Is it possible for me to get away with drawing a non-pony character from the show? I've got this idea that I really want to do.

Periphery said...

@Neoridgeback

I tried to do something similar with #269, but yours looks clearer. It was a tough pose to figure out, especially since I think this was the first time I've ever drawn anything that wasn't directly copying a reference. I'm not sure mine came out looking like she was pouncing at the viewer. I couldn't at all figure out what to do with her hind legs, so I guess they're out of sight behind her. Plus her mouth looks awful, but I didn't have time to make it better...sent it in 3 minute before midnight.

Fickle said...

Whoo! Number 133 again!

Yeah. my drawing was kinda vague. Seeing Freddie was a performer, he would be jumping and such. I knew that I should've done it with a program and added a stage. Oh well. TO THE NEXT CHALLENGE!

WOOT! 108, my life is complete

Haileo said...

Huh, I'm not there yet. I sent it in the correct time slot...

frith said...

@Anonymous and Alterform

Glad you liked it. The standing pony I did for day one came out much better but I finished it too late. So I posted it elsewhere. It's hosted here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/59082944@N06/5768074578/

I didn't use harmony brushes, I used ZeFrank's Scribbler ap.

frith said...

@AlterForm

(edit: reply above was about image 209, "posted elsewhere" means in a Scribbler Art community I made on Dreamwidth, and I've been using the Scribbler 'cause it's cool and no one else is doing it and because drawing with a tablet makes it look like I'm in kindergarten.)

frith said...

Dammit. After spending (nearly) all day researching, sketching, researching some more, planning, transfering, transforming, pasting together and generally making a mess, now I really want to know what tomorrow's challenge will be. %^*

Afentis said...

I can't draw a face/head to save my life...
Day 3 submitted.

TeacherNB456 said...

I'm sorry to heard about your cat, i lost my dog a month ago (april 11th), her name was "Bronaca" and we used to call her "bronis"

Prismatic Pretzel said...

Well first thanks for all the hard work Phoe and my condolences about your cat.

Next thank you for the compliment Thattagen.

Finally wooo ponies. If I have missed anyone I blame it one the flood of ponies.

Anonymous said...

Just sent in for Day 3. Not that I'm expecting many ponies to still be reading down this far in the comments this late in the post's life, but here's a tip for those that are scanning in drawings:

Be sure to make your lines really DARK. Outline everything with a pen or sharpie if you have to. So many of these scanned images are too hard to see because they were too light when scanned into a computer.

DJ RBDash said...

#146

She jumps for joy(?)

DJ Rainbow Dash said...

We need to challenge the artists to draw ponies with open eyes. Too many people are avoiding the eyes by having them closed. Don't be scared, they're not as hard as the look.

SirTopHat said...

What happened to mine? It looked like it went through fine, I got the "Submission complete, thank you for participating!" confirmation, it was within the filesize limit, it definitely fit the theme .-.
