• Newbie Artist Training Grounds: Day 21

    Ehehehehe... the ponies! The ponies! THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD IDEA YOU GUYS! HAHAHA -- ahem. Well then. Let's begin the I've Finally Lost My Mind edition. Tonight's ramblings are gonna be a little bit shorter than usual, because my computer is kind of lagging tonight and typing is somewhat difficult. Keeping up with submissions is a higher priority. So ironically, on this our Laughter Night, I will be 37% less funny than usual. Cue ponies telling me I'm not funny anyway. W-well... the thing about that is... *sniffle* Not gonna cry. Not gonna cry... o-oh, um, right. Pictures. 143 tonight. Our total is now over 4,000! In fact it's 4,051! Somepony told me last night my math is off - I'll get on checking that soon. But it's only off by maybe one or two, so... *noisemaker!*

    Distraction time! Have some submission guidelines. Send questions or alternative entries to phoe@equestriadaily.com And that's all I have to say about that.

    The Theme of the Day

    Draw a pony swimming. I thought we'd try another more action oriented theme and give you all a break from my recent obsession with depicting emotions. Since I'm feeling generous, I'll also explicitly state that other maritime activities are also acceptable fare. Being on a beach! Being on a boat! Waterskiing! Um... what the heck else do ponies do in the water? Swimsuit edition?


    I feel like I should be telling a joke tonight. But isn't that always the case, with the spotlight shining on me I just can't remember any good ones. So... emergency joke! This one time, these two guys walked into a bar, and they completely redecorated the place! You should have seen it, it was brilliant. But the day after that there was a big scandal, because Princess Celestia got drunk and accidentally set a stool on fire. You guys really give her a bad rep, you know? All this Trollestia stuff. She's just a pony who likes to party. Maybe tomorrow will be Party With Celly Day. For now I'll just hope I got a chuckle out of at least one of you. Always leave 'em laughing...



    1) By Vegetalss4 (Somehow I'm always surprised by how fast the bonus theme comes up.)



    2) By Horizon Bound



    3) By Giny The Whoof (This is not the sort of laughter I envisioned.)



    4) By Emerald Dust



    5) By ChaosDrop (I'm trying to decide if this is canon for me or not. TwixCelly is growing on me. I'm not sure that was the point.)

    15) By Syggie (Octavia falls victim to The Giggle Loop.)

    20) By FoxOfWar

    41) By Dangereaux (Fluttershy later apologized to the thunderstorm for being too loud.)

    13. -66 makes me happy because someone made fan-art for that fiction. :P I love the Psychology series.

      -105 is downright awesome. Joker-Pinkie FTW!

      ReplyDelete
    16. #71 wins. Everypony else can go die now, you can't top that. -_-

      (I'm just kidding about the die part, of course)

      ReplyDelete
    17. Phoe I bet you're mad then that I made Lyra an official Canucks fan! Boom like that!
      89 is probably my favourite. Simple and sweet!

      ReplyDelete
    18. You're funny Phoe, even if we don't know it :-)

      ReplyDelete
    19. 26 making a quick stop to say I at least cracked a smile at every single entry today. This event is awesome.

      Also the references today rock! Special mention goes to 99 for the incredible Arrested Development crossover.

    23. 57 would be pretty cute if I hadn't read Bubbles. Now it's so sad...

      128 proves that nothing short of Critical Cutie Mark Failure will make Pinkie Pie stop being Pinkie Pie.

    26. #127 here! The Count is such a classic, I was surprised no one else drew him! AH AH AH.

      So many amazing entries today, but Poison Joke Celestia made me laugh the hardest. She looks like a wiener dog!

      Lol, thanks. I just knew I had to have a muffinocalypse theme at least once.

      Oh and 141 is just plain creepy

      ReplyDelete
    31. Well it's good to see the art thing is still going strong.

      I like the two hundred pinkie ones, also anything with a muffin or Derpy in it and a few of the Luna ones are choice.

      I feel like an idiot for finally recognizing where I've seen MHPayne's work before, if anyone else doesn't know by this point then I'd be surprised.

      Also in case of laughing gas, drink water. It'll save your life, unfortunately it won't stop the heroes from using tear gas on me. Darn the heroes, darn them and their tear gas bombs.

    32. Good batch. Everybody's improving a lot.

      don't look at #70
      No matter what.

      ReplyDelete
    35. haha I like see Phoe as a pony. Great job bronies, a lot of creativity. I didn't look at the grim dark one in fear of not sleeping tonight, I'm sorry.

      Also if anypony wondering about my submission #112 if you remember Episode 3 "The ticket master" where Applejack made a bet with Big Mac if she brought all the apples in the farm by lunch time, Big Mac has to walk down Stirrup Street wearing Granny's girdle.

      Drawing a pony swimming eh? hmm hope I can think of something creative since 2mmrrow going to be my last art till the 27 :c

      Well good luck bronies! Stay strong!

      ReplyDelete
    36. #19 Oh man. The infamous awkward Tidus/Yuna laugh. Could not stop lol'ing.

    37. I really want to keep doing this, but I ran out of supplies on the 19th. The good news is I might be able to get a tablet thing by the end of week. Then I'll just have to figure out how to get it to work. (Wish me luck.)

      I just can't...

      How could they even do that to her?

      Fluttershy's so innocent, and they do THAT to her?

      I-I just lost faith in the good of humanity...

      ReplyDelete
    42. @Torrential Rains

      Don't lose faith. Just look at every other submission. And for what it's worth, the artist of Number 70 left an apology in the comment box when he submitted it. This wasn't something done out of malice or spite, it's just... unsettling.

      ReplyDelete
    43. Hmmm, kinda glad I didn't click on #70...
      Anyway, coming back to say I also dug #59, 60; just realized #60 is G3 vs G4, which is hilarious! You could almost count that for Evil Twin day too!

      ReplyDelete
    44. @Kapten-N

      Well they never said it in the show to my knowledge and I don't read too much of the fanfiction. I had already uploaded when I saw that word used.

      Furthermore it is just knitpicking like people that argue whether a name is Alucard or Arucard because Japanese lacks an L sound.

      ReplyDelete
    45. @Torrential Rains
      See it from the other perceptive. They see her as innocent and pure. They want to be close to her, problem is they don't feel that they can reach up to that level. The only alternative is to bring her down to their level. Or, to put it bluntly, the more innocent it is, the better it feels to corrupt it.

      P.S. Don't loose hope in humanity. Humanity has had a hard time from the start, it did what it had to do to survive.

      ReplyDelete
    46. @Phoe

      I-I just can't look at her the same way again...

      I can't forgive the person who made this, it's just wrong to do that to her...

      ReplyDelete
    47. @Muffinsforever
      Mission accomplished.

      Although, the final version looks quite a bit creepier with the white makeup. Too bad the thumbnails don't update, but at least the link does.

      ReplyDelete
    48. #93 here. Phoe, I promise I'll do my best to finish it properly. I'm so very happy you liked it.

      Now to list some favourites for today: 17, 41, 89, 140... but really I could easily put at least half of submissions into this category.
      As always, great job bronies.

      ReplyDelete
    49. @Torrential Rains

      This too shall pass. Get some rest, and when you wake up prepare yourself a warm drink of your choosing (I like cocoa, personally), and sit down to watch Dragonshy or Green Isn't Your Color. You'll feel better, I promise.

      ReplyDelete
    50. I thought mine was probably going to be the worst of the bunch.

      ...after looking at some of these, though, I suddenly don't feel so self-conscious. Still, I have no qualms with deliberate self-depreciation.

      *(I was #38, BTW. :D)*

    53. #4 today. I don't think I've ever been this high up on the list before, but I did kind of rush this one, so I suppose it makes sense. Oh, by the way; if anyone gets the incredibly obscure reference I made, please let me know.

      Anyway, great pictures again, as always. I've come to really enjoy the recurring themes, like badzerg's Longshy and MHPayne's comic strips. Making a continuous comic with all these themse going on that still at least kind of makes sense must be really difficult. And I love the line "I don't think we ever HAD Pinkie." That pretty much nails it.

      Aside from those, I've really enjoyed #28 today, because a pie in the face, or on the head, has always been instant comedy. Can't beat the classics. #52 is great, too; seems almost like a necessary continuation from Show Stoppers. Big Mac's reaction is priceless.
      Oh, and #125: A Tommy Wiseau Pony would be the most awkward and hilarious thing ever. We NEED that.

      I just hope I'll be able to come up with something halfway decent for today. So far I haven't been able to think of anything intelligent, but you know how it is, good ideas usually come to you when you least expect them.

    60. My friends in the end we must all remember that 70 is just a picture. Just keep thinking in your head that it's not canon and would never happen. And remember, friendship is magic.

    62. Okay, #70 surprised me. As in seriously surprised me XP. I jumped.

      It's a little out there, but its still just a picture. I think you guys needta relax a little?

      Just take your mind off it, everything will be fine.

    63. #140 here....Not able to finish it today sadly.

      Favorites today! 63 was my most favorite and I pretty much just gasped and stared at it with a =D face, 17, 74, 79, 89, 98, 105, 128, 133...wow there are so many good ones today!!

      ReplyDelete
    64. #29 checking in. I tried to keep things simple and sweet today, and I think I succeeded in that regard. I also this one to play around more with composition than I normally do.

      I noticed my number seems pretty high up on the list considering I submitted it pretty much when I always do. Looks like a lot of midnight oil was burned last night, but it looks like it was all worth it. Some of my favorites this time around were #2, 10, 61, 73, 104, 125, and 127. Keep up the good work everypony!

      ReplyDelete
    65. #53 here. Fun fact: I did it on MS Paint, with a mouse.

      #70 Wh-Why? Why would you do that? You know what, stuff like this needs it's own category, something along the lines of "Not safe for Bronies" X(

      *Sigh* That next theme has me wishing I could draw much better than I currently can, because I had a pretty funny/odd idea for it.

      The idea I had in mind contained a reference to the show "King of the Hill", which happened to be how I found my way into bronyhood, oddly enough.

    70. #20 here. Guess I couldn't resist another Magic the Gathering joke. I kind of like the idea of Twilight Sparkle and Zecora having at it every now and then. With Zecora being far more experienced. Which comes round to today's pic.

      Not going to look at #70, certain pics already haunt my head and I'm all out of brain bleach(it's pretty hard to find these days...). Photo memory is BAD when you also have as vivid imagination as I do.

      Really liked 50, 59, 61 and 111 :)

    71. Man, what a GREAT night. I was very satisfied with my piece; it was simple enough, but effective (and yes, it's based on the fanfic Bubbles, which is one of my very favorites ;_;). But really, seriously, as for the rest of you, I'd be here all day if I wanted to name all my favorites from this theme and explain why. The Boo, the Laughing Mare, so many great out-of-the-box (literally in Sethisto's case~) ideas... Aw, heck, I'll at least say #19 CRACKED ME UP and #70 made me feel very bad :< it was the whole gamut run tonight.

      also, #84 was my initial idea, though I was gonna do little doodles, and quickly realized I wouldn't be able to do that and make them look even recognizable in such a small timeframe, haha. And Phoe's apparent official coloring looks fantastic. Maybe I'll try to draw her when I'm... a little bit better. (Oh, and squee @ getting comments so many days in a row, I must have some kinda neat ideas or something :3c )

    73. #71 here, just wanted to say everybody seems to be improving greatly, except the godly artists up in here who could not possibly get better. Just kidding, there's always room for improvement.
      #13- ...
      #41- I want this to happen.
      #52- I bet this was a planned episode for season 2. The sketchy style looks really nice on this one.
      #61- LOL! The look on Twi's face is so adorable, too.
      #74- Now this one looks nice. Like, REALLY nice. Great job! That's a bit mean though, seriously Pinkie.
      #104- Even her laughs are graceful.
      #125- Points for Tommy Wiseau pony. (Spoiler: He's actually an alien sent to earth to collect spoons to power a cannon that turns planets into the shape of spoons.)

      23-Poor road cone Luna! (lmao) but it looks like she gets Celestia back in 129, which is awesomely hilarious too!
      I should have drawn a prank but I couldn't think of anything good ^_^; *is 72* I'm not all THAT into bondage really... ;3 Just wanted to draw the aftermath of the rope theme. And a pony laughing so hard they were crying! That and I love the idea that Applejack can bring Rainbow down a notch(sometimes, she really needs it!)

      #71 - ...I lost. >_< Nice evil hat/monocle/mustache/goatee you have there. Now, a question: When you sit in your mandatory evil armchair, do you stroke a cat or do you prefer something more like a turtle?

      #28 because it was next to #29 - Big Mac accidentally the whole pie! :D Don't be sad, Apple Bloom, pies on heads are hilarious! Laughter incarnate. Classic. (Which one of them pied him?)

      UGh wth is wrong with me, I dont know what i was thinking when i left a comment on my pic like that. Anywho, i beleive today is going to be used for fixing Fluttershy and cleaning up the ruby pic. IT was late as frig i was going on two hours sleep the previous night . . . . maybe my brain had just quit working right. anywho. im definitely going to clean that pic up.

      i swear . . . some of these really kinda creeped me out . . . despite the theme. Other than those creepy pics, i really loved this theme.

      Now if i could find out why imageshack isnt allowing me to bring up the pic i uploaded last night i would change it to one without the comment. But it wont let me.
      Lik to pic without comment, ( not cleaned up yet )

      From games made twenty years ago,
      That many thought no one would know,
      To crazy British television,
      That defy most for recognition.
      For so long, of Coupling* I had not thought,
      But that one line made me laugh, a lot.
      Oh Phoe, I love you more each day,
      Every joke that you white does slay!

      This was going to be my entry for "Evil Twin" day (although Gob is basically Trixie in human form), but it didn't work out until now.

      I have combined "Arrested Development" with ponies. God help us all.

      Don't take it too seriously, #70-brony. People love to be frightened and disgusted. That's why they watch horror movies. Or read cupcakes.

      The very reason MLP FiM is different from older generations is because it has dark side in it. Without it - cuteness will get boring.

      I hope we'll see more twisted fucked up imagery from you, because you really made it great.

    89. #100 here. I had this idea in my head all day and not only was it fun to put to paper, I got it almost exactly like I envisioned, which made my day. The only thing that gave me a lot of trouble was Twilight's elements crown in the 3rd panel.

      70 - I've seen worse... but this was definitely unexpected of a pony drawing.
      103 - Don't get discouraged, a pose doesn't have to be totally unique. There's always room for more cute drawings, IMO.
      129 - Careful there, Luna, you're a pretty close to the joke too and somepony else might just get the last laugh. :P

      Though I do not know you personally knowing my bronies I am 100% sure you didn't do this with malice and to upset people, so it's fine.

      But I understand people got shocked. I'm the more sensitive type aswell, after reading Cupcakes it took me like 3 weeks to look at the Pinkie the same way again.

      So yeah. Maybe "shocking" is not the best word, more like...unexpected. No worries, we will get over it.

      Also I want to make it clear that despite all the commotion, I don't want this to discourage you. Draw what makes you feel happy. :)

      Maybe you were just experimenting, that's also part of learning and exploring yourself.
      If it's grimdark that you find joy in, well, do it. Not my cup of tea, but I totally don't want you to stop drawing stuff you like just because it's not as widely accepted and appreciated as, for example, Lyra&Bonbon shipping.

      So don't let it get to you. It was labelled as grimdark, it was hidden, so it's our own curiosity to blame.

      Keep drawing brony ^-^

      I hope that my commentary didn't come across as implying I was upset at you for producing the piece. I'm not a very big fan of especially dark imagery as applied to My Little Pony, but I absolutely acknowledge any artist's right to bring to life the image or story that's in their heart. It's very clear you didn't draw that with malicious intent, because I can detect genuine emotion in your effort and your execution (is that a poor choice of word?).

      I had a lesson retaught to me back on "Pony with wings" night when a certain Scootaloo image set off a torrent of complaints from bronies who were disturbed and distraught - I was reminded that night of my duty as a publisher (and that is essentially what Seth, Cereal, and I am) to balance artistic freedom against the desires of the consumptive public. There are a lot of surprisingly sensitive souls perusing Equestria Daily, and with the vivid nature of your submission I felt a strong need to put up warning signs and preemptively cut off any major backlash.

      This left me to do a weird dance where I had to admit that the submission was not to my tastes and of a disturbing nature while also being careful not to call it bad. Because it very much is a well put together picture. I reworded myself maybe six different times and I still don't feel I did a very good job, and for that I apologize.

      Please continue to produce the art that you are interested in drawing. If you legitimately want to send a bunch of Lyra and Bon Bon's Adventures in Parenting, I will happily put them up, but I don't want you to feel you must make this compromise, because that is not your responsibility as an artist.

      #17 Lyra was very busy watching TV in the comfort of her own home, thank you very much. Her nonsense is very important.
      #20 Twilight gives off Johnny vibes to me -- she would totally go for complicated combos. Although I am a Johnny myself, so maybe I'm just projecting my values onto her...
      And I hope that was a sexy foil Time Stop, because "End the turn." as the entire card is awesome.

      #65 Rocky should be a comedian! He's very good at it.

    111. @Fox E: Oh. I see. Yeah, switching to unlined paper is a good idea :D
      I don't really see the crinkly paper effect that you're talking about. Oh well. If you made your lines darker, the scanner might not pick up the light smudges that bother you so much. Give it a try :D If it saves you even one hour out of three it was totally worth it, right?

      I like making vector art, but it also takes way longer than sketching something on paper. ...that's why when I'm lazy I revert to pencil instead of Inkscaping something.

      And blogpony can never have enough fanart. We all love you, Phoe! :D

      @Prismatic Pretzel No problem! I love getting comments, so I decided to give everypony else some love too. ^^

      @sUiCiDaLn00b You'll bend it to your will eventually, just keep messing with line darkness and scanner settings.

      @Taco Bandit Thanks! But I didn't comment on every submission. I skipped quite a few. :(
      Some of them I just couldn't think of anything to comment on. And I'm not the biggest fan of Rarity or Applejack, so comments on those entries are probably lamer.
      If I skipped you (not you, Taco, them) I'm sorry! I figure that possibly worse than not getting any comments at all is seeing everypony else get one except for you. So... you guys that I skipped all get another hug. *hug*

      As for what my comment meant, it's just that in the show, continuity is mildly unexpected. The Gala arc is basically the only example of plot spanning multiple episodes (not counting the pilot). So when something Applejack mentions offhand in episode 3 actually happens, it's like continuity... eh? ..eh? Yeah it was kinda lame. :S

      I dunno if I can do that again! That took quite a long time. Maybe if everypony just picked 5 entries that hadn't been commented on yet and commented on them, the work would get split up way more and everpony would get a comment! ^^

      @frith Oh no, I hope that Phoe's pretty pony princess powers don't turn her into an alfafa monster! D:
      That was also a cute comic. ^^

      HEY SMOCK! #21! I still want that cookie for finding what compound her cutie mark is! (C3N2H4 and WolframAlpha says that particular one is imidazole) I am way too proud of this actually. ...carry on. nothing to see here.

    113. @Argembarger Well... well... Sweetie Belle says "dumb fabric". It's also a reference to the YTP Friendship is Gic, specifically this part.

      You're welcome for the comment though! :D
      Spread the love and comment on some stuff tomorrow! Not a whole bunch, just maybe 5 things. People will appreciate youuuu.

      Hi, Xiagu, I've thought about your comment overnight and I still can't figure out exactly what you are saying. Thanks for saying anything, but could you please explain:

      "#124 Missed opportunity for cutiemarkception here. Just sayin'. Nice water though, I'm totally going to fail at drawing it tonight >__<"

      I'm going to go look at your water for tomorrow! Ponies!

      Well, the unicorn's cutie mark is of two dolphins, right? And the dolphin looks like one of the ones from her cutie mark. If the dolphin's cutie mark were the entire body of the unicorn instead of just her head, it would have her cutie mark on it. Which would have that dolphin's cutie mark which would have the unicorn's cutie mark which would...

      A cutie mark within a cutie mark WITHIN A CUTIE MARK!

    122. @Xiagu Ah, that "Inception"! I thought it was a pony reference to when a foal gets their cutie mark, like "inception". (I'm not as swift as the All-Powerful Phoe, sorry.) I was going to draw a full body Ying/Yang unicorn to counter Seafoam's, but ran out of time and space. (How Eisenstein-ian!) I really want to do more art of here with dolphins and will probably come up with a better CM. Thanks for the comment and reply. I will keep an eye on your work to see if I have anything useful to say.
