For today, as I'm sure you all have noticed, the submission script we had been using is no longer functional. We're currently seeking alternative solutions, but for now what we were planning on doing is taking your entries via e-mail. However! There's a problem with this. I have just moved into a new apartment. This apartment does not have internet service. I cannot possibly manage all of this on my phone, and the solution I used today is now no longer an option. And you guys are so full of pictures it hurts. So here's what I'm doing. I'm getting as many pictures up in tonight's gallery as possible. What I can't get to, I'll release in a sub-gallery tomorrow. I'm giving you Day 2's theme now, but DO NOT SUBMIT!!! You're getting bonus time to think of neat ways to do it. I will let you know when I can manage to run this event in a way that's fair to all of you. I let you down, and I'm sorry.
Day 2: You're In the Army Now
After taking some time to get adjusted to your new life, you finally feel ready to turn up for basic training. Like your bunkmate keeps saying, no point in marching off to war without knowing how to fight, right? The sun is shining painfully bright above you, as the drill instructor barks orders at pair of fencing unicorns.
"No. Guard up, damn you! Up! Riposte! Why aren't you...? Ugh. Just... just take five, everypony."
Now, she turns to you, and the rest of the newbie class, gesturing to the foam swords sitting in front of you.
"Pick those up and find a partner."
It doesn't take long for you to learn you're not cut out for this. It's impossible to get a grip, and all you can manage to occasionally take a clumsy horizontal slash at your sparring partner. You're rewarded for your efforts with a disapproving thwack from the instructor's own foam blade.
"Nmph. Yuh hbth to hrd rt lrrk thth!"
"Mrph?"
"Thth! Lrrk thth!" She gestures wildly, but does nothing further to communicate her... uh... point.
"Whr mrshf..." Ptooi. "Why would anypony even make weapons like this in a country without hands?"
High above on a tower balcony, Princess Celestia stifles a giggle.
Assignment: Draw a pony in training
Normally I ramble on here about stuff, but I'm afraid right now I just don't have the time for it. I did my best to leave comments like I used to "back in the day", but putting the gallery together by hoof hasn't left me very much in the way of opportunity. I apologize profusely. A quick note to those of you who are new and feeling bad because you don't like your image compared to some of the others: take heart. It's not about being amazing right from the get go, but working toward something bigger. Just because we don't all start from the same place doesn't mean we're not reaching for the same thing. You're all brave and wonderful for submitting. So with that said, here is the Day 1 Gallery:

This is all I have time to do before my laptop dies. I'll get to the rest as soon as I can. My sincerest apologies to the other 260 plus entrants...
159 comments:
My labtop would have crashed long ago. Gulp.
I'm really liking number 148!!
I wish I would have drawn something that would have been worthy of anything but a firepit.....
560... Mother of god.
I'm rushing to finish my submission. My computer has not been cooperating today, so I'm praying I can still get something in for tomorrow's sub gallery.
Oh my dear Celestia. 560+ entries. Holy shit. Good work, everypony!
Phoe, I weep for your poor poor inbox ;_;
Phoe, it must have taken a very very very very very very very long time to do this. I thank you for this.
No worries, take all the time you need
oh no I'm missed the deadline and these are all great and I love this Idea hope fully plans will go smoother in the future.
>those tags
"Assignment: Draw a pony in training"
Well crap, now I've half a mind to shoot too high and do "I'll Make a Man Out of You" with ponies.
@Scribejay
Curse you and thinking exactly what I was thinking.
I managed to get the wrong idea somehow. my drawing has completely nothing to do with soldiers/boot camp.
HOW COULD I MISS THAT
well, at least she's in uniform...
Hosting an event for our benefit for free completely off your own back and YOU let US down?
Sheesh Phoe. We don't all feel quite so entitled.
Forget the drawings, the total pageviews are about to reach their limit! CELESTIA HELP US!
Wow, 560 ponies ready for battle :D
Awesome job everypony!
I already have a plan for Day 2, it's inspired by #143 :)
I feel more significant than I thought I would after seeing these entrees.
Good luck getting everything back in order!
yes mine is indeed full of fail but i derp
Wait, so when can we submit?
Yay! Mine made it!
Those were really good!
I wish mine hadn't taken so long to do so it would have made it in time for this. -_-
Aw mine didn't make it... I hope that it goes through. I'm going to start working on Day 2 <3
I notice a many of them were made before the artist training ground.. that is kinda cheating isnt?
#240
So I guess this means Twilight is going to die?
Too much Pony.
Oh wow, that's a lot. Good thing you managed to get half. Really like some of these pieces. Wish I had links, but that would have been a lot more work than needed.
Good job everypony!
@Muppetz Red shirt Twilight!? KHHHHAAAAANNNNNNN!
28 is clearly the best.
Everyone's stuff is so great!! :D
I'm #289!
On to the next Assignment!
@Muppetz
Let's hope that she's a next generation red shirt then lol
So normally what I do for these is make a list of submissions I liked, along with comments on my own submission, but uh...yeah blogger would die if I tried making a post big enough to contain all the ones I like. Tried before, after all. =P
Anyway these are all amazing <3 You all are amazing. <3 It is SO AWESOME seeing new artists like this, hope you guys enjoy the next few days as well. =D
And remember! EVERYTHING COUNTS. Stickpony scribbles are welcome just as much as any other art! (otherwise I wouldn't have been able to submit. =P)
Dont got in it :(
Here was mine- http://th06.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/010/e/5/armor_dash_by_penguinwhut1plz-d4lzh0s.png
Wow, those are all really great! <3 Good job everypony!
Oh my frickin celestia! That is a crap load of work. I envy you Phoe and your respective laptop. Scratch that. I salute you! :D
Holy Cupcakes that's a lot of pictures, and there's more?!
My one will probably show in the next galley, then. It'll be nice to a have few seconds of fame as everypony quickly looks as it as they scroll down.
Wow... Just got finished scrolling through all the entries. Quite a few talented artists, and newbies. But yes, we all need to get are crappy drawings out before we all become good.
So our assignment is to draw a pony in training? Sounds fun! Kinda vague, but it leaves a lot of room for creativity. I'll do my best, sir! *Salute*
Phoe, thank you for your dedication to this silly little event. I urge you to not stress yourself over it. Now, I will patiently wait for my submission to be posted in the tomorrow's sub gallery, while thinking about something awesome for day two.
Holy CRAP.
Man . . . this list is overwhelming to go through . . and there's another set almost as long that hasn't been published yet?!
Great job y'all =D
@MyBoyJ
"in the tomorrow?" I need some sleep.
Cool beans, ladies and germs. Cool beans.
As for a little wait, no problem, Phoe. No problem. You do what you need to do.
i have two more, didnt turn in due to MS Paint being the lamest of art, but im glad i practiced, and that the community had much to offer!
Wow that's a lot! It took me 20 minutes to read all that! I'm looking forward to the next bunch tomorrow, thanks Phoe! :D
Huzzah! The fun has been *draws a blank* MULTIPLED!
Question for assignment 2. Does this need to feature the same pony drawn for the first assignment?
223 is definitely the best.
Oh, man! So many of those are absolutely awesome!
Phoe, seriously, you did NOT let us down. This event was (and will continue to be) completely awesome. Thank you.
P.S. No pressure, but you misspelled my user name (#265). It's "kysomyral," not "kysomryal." No biggie. Don't worry about fixing it unless you feel you have to.
Yay! I made it in!
Great work, everypony!
So much pony! Really, 560?! I don't dare load this page with pics on my phone, so can't see art yet :(
Also yay, mine got in on the first batch! ^^
YAYAYAY I got in! 276 BTW it's upsidedown. LOL
It's Dr Whooves If anypony was wondering.
Dayum... So much pony. Nice job, bronies!
oh man. my second best submission made it in. but i don't see my twilight drawing. that was the best one.
*nervously biting his nails hoping it will show up tomorrow*
Woo Hoo! Mine made it on! Also, wow 560 entries? That's a staggering amount of fine early art from future professionals.
Okay yeah so I forgot the tail on my official submission. (#36, for those keeping score at home) Oops. But that's alright, I added it on my deviantArt account. I won't link it, because that's lame and all that's different is a smudged tail, but yeah if anypony notices that, yes, I am aware of it! :p
(Oh, and also, sorry for this incredibly generic username. It's just my nickname on AIM and its the easiest one to link to on EqD)
Nice pictures guys! I wish I could've submitted mine but I'm awful with emails and I got tired and fell asleep for like 9 hours.
OMG, I'm the first one... Hahaha
so.. it's too late to somehow still join? :P
haha oh god my drawings are just terrible compared to mostly all of these. Oh well.
Whoo, I was in the first 10% of the 560!
Aw man, I didn't relize that it was due at the end of the day. I'll have to work hard in school ( on ponies) !
I hope the griffons show up in force, 'cause right now the battle's looking pretty one-sided o_0
Also, alas, I am relegated to the sub-gallery. Phoe sure did let us down by taking so much time out of her schedule to manage this event for us, free of charge. :P
But seriously, Phoe, keep being awesome.
So many images to compile!! There are a lot of fun ideas looking through them all. 59 Applevader = :D
le sigh. I guess I'll have to wait for the other 260 for people to see mine. Oh wells.
Lotta these are really awesome though. This fandom never ceases to amaze me :D
wow now that is alot of pony art.
o no i meam ug
Super-fantastic times were had by all!
Oh hey I got in the first group. Also a comment by Phoe. Yay! Thanks for the hard work.
I thought this was supposed to be for newbie artists. Half the entries don't seem like the work of newbies to me. They seem more like the stuff which ends up in the Drawfriends.
I see the piece of crap I submitted at 1 AM ended up in the list. Well, it's crap compared to the good entries. I've got a looong way to go...
Sadly mine didn't make it! Quite proud of it for a new artist! Here it is though
http://kripplestix.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d4lz1q0
I'm so sad, I was on to coloring my pic today and my power went out. And yes, I am a foal for not saving. Four hours lost and not enough time for a new one. ;_;
Sorry I couldn't get a submission in.
May as well get started on today's theme then.
And thank you so much for this event!
YES, I made it in time! :D
#69 (hm, saucy number XD) is my great and powerful Firehoof! XD
Though it´s by *By DawnAllies* and not *By James Rye*? Oh well, i wrote my name in the pic and submitted it so i know who made this in the end.^^
Thanks alot for your hard work, Phoe. You didn´t let us down. :3
Also really amazing community, over 560 entries and many of them were firsttimer artists just like me.
You´re so awesome, bronies! 8D
I know everypony else has made it clear that we are insanely grateful, but THANK YOU PHOE! I can't imagine trying to keep up with all of this.
I'm #282 :)
Darn strange american time :< I managed to miss the deadline and now the site is down too.
Wow so many awesome artist! Man I wish some of them link back to DA. I would love to fave them. Hopefully I can find them ^-^
Sadly my comic didn't make the cut today. Sorry for overloading you with art Phoe ^^;
We basically got a small medium-sized batallion worth of ponies. I can live with this.
Made it! :D :D Thanks Phoe!
Jeez, these get so many entries. It's seriously mind-boggling to me.
And so many great ones too! I see what you did in #104. I like it. ;) And #139... holy crap, that's incredible! Think it might be my favorite of this set. That outfit is simply gorgeous. But it's Hoity Toity, so of course. :D
And let down? Who's let down? I know I'm not let down, this is perfectly fine in my opinion.
im #42 . . . isn't that number the meaning of life the universe and everything? anyhoo I finished the second Assignment here is a link http://lazzyx.deviantart.com/#/d4lzn2y
Thanks for everything, Phoe! Sorry things are breaking! No rush at all-I'm just so happy that the training grounds are back. I'll have to use the extra time to make the next one better...or I'll just procrastinate.
Number 214 reporting in. Can you tell who he is or am I getting too old? ;)
I can't wait to see the rest but as for the one's that are here they are all pretty much awesome. Some of my favorites:
45-loved the colors and made me laugh
56-There’s this song that keeps going through my head when I see this
62-Yes
68-I lolled
80- I really like your art style
106-very very nice
131-Dash is look particularly epic
139-whoa
174-Big Mac looks good in armor
189-More reasons to fear Pinkie Pie =p
232-hahahaha
259-really loving her armor
264-I feel like this when I play battlefield too, Fluttershy
279-Heh heh Despony
Eh, I'll just link mine here in the comments. It's waaaay too late, even with the "two hours overtime" thing. But oh well.
Some fine stuff in this NATG.
http://majorfreddy.deviantart.com/art/EQD-Newbie-Training-Grounds-Cosplayin-278801320
Oh wow, I'm surprised Phoe can even still see after the atrocity I inflicted upon her with my mess, much less see it in the first batch. Well bronies, don't say I didn't warn yall...
Training, huh? Looks like it's time to put Silver Lining (and my art hand) through the paces...
wait so are we allowed to do drawings on the computer? or just hand drawn?
This is a lot of stuff! And a lot of good stuff too. I'm impressed.
This new assignment is the perfect excuse to draw a scene from that fic I wrote. :D
Time to get warm up the mouse.
@Gummy
Both.
There is a large variety in the quality of these submissions, at both ends.
I'm 147. The Title I gave mine describes what I feel about it. http://wisami.deviantart.com/art/Crappy-Drawing-of-a-Pony-in-Armor-278680547
See what I mean.
@Wisami The problem with describing your work as "crappy" is that anybody who looks at your work and says "Wow, that guy's drawing is way better than mine" automatically feels in his mind that you must think of his work as crappy as well.
I think that everybody can probably think of things that they would like to change in their drawing. This is a side effect of the fact that we're all amateurs, and that we had a limited time, and that the subject matter (military stuff) was foreign to a lot of us. But unconstructive self-deprecation ("my drawing sucks" as opposed to "I need to work on eye size in proportion to head size") doesn't help much.
Wew! Made it! Mine is Number 49.

@awh
Sorry. But I didn't call it crappy until after everyone called there's crappy. And It's crappy compared to what I used to be able to draw. I swear my drawing is getting worse everyday. But sorry everypony who thinks there work is bad because of me. Your work is great and with practice you can become the best of artists. But I still don't like mine :( But still sorry.
I'm just going to leave this here:

Yeah, its hard to be satisfied when you look at really awesome pieces of art everyday, I know I'm not satisfied with my entry, but hell - we need to practice, hard work is key to everything, drawing too (unless you was born with it ;)).
@Stardust
Your Entry is (20*10^99)% cooler than mine.
Oh my God, 560!?
All of a sudden I feel guilty to keep drawing >_>; I don't wanna give you so much work Phoe, but these fingers must keep sketching! Can't stop them! Aaaah!
Dang, mine didn't get in. That's a pity. I'll just leave it here.
http://fav.me/d4ly4uc
Even so, all this art is amazing, awesome work everypony!
I'm 256. I knew Phoe's inbox would be frightening with the site being down, so I'm glad I managed to lighten things a bit.
@Wisami Maybe, but there are entries (20*10^99)% cooler than mine, and so what, there always will be someone better than You. I am already drawing for 2nd day and I hope You'll do your piece too. Practice makes perfect, so pens up.
Yay, I got a comment from Phoe. My life is now complete.
Yay, im #2!

I see mine didnt get on the list, but it was terrible anyway. i have a better idea for the 2nd day.
By the way, when should we submit the 2nd day's drawing?
@Stardust
I'm going to try. The more you draw the better you get. But this time I'm not going to be lazy and I'm going to actually try to draw something. That doesn't mean it's going to be much better though.
Yay! Mine made it! I thought for sure it wouldn't. I still feel bad for helping everyone spam her inbox.
Uh, so what about those who finished their pic in time but didn't submit it cause the link was down and were afraid to mailbomb Phoe?
I'd go for it, but I'm thoroughly sick of the Army at this point... :P
Aw, peanut brittle. Mine didn't make it yet. Ah, well. Hope things are up and running soon!
Yay, I'm #61. So, Draw a pony in training? This is gonna be hard one...
Ah, what the heck, since I've done it might as well post it on Ponybooru...
http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/110703
All right, I made it! Mine is #299 ^^
Many congrats to all who participated! So many of your drawings are just AMAZING! :O
#201 Lol I wish I spent more time one it.I think I messed up on one part.Pony in Training coming up!
#140.
Mine looks so out of place compared to everypony's else. ;n;

Woo! #68! And so very very very many pony arts.. wow. You're doing a wonderful job Phoe!
I will say, yeah, as stated up there a bit by James Rye. I only entered the one pony! That wonderful entry is by another artist.
But hey, worse mistakes could be made and given the pressure you're under, that's not too bad.
Good luck with getting everything running again!
OMG, I'm 173 ;D
On the other hoof...
Sorry for spamming your inbox with my entry, Phoe D:
Hahahah, this is absolutely INSANE. How many times more is this than the most we ever had in one day last June? At least three times, right? And this is just the first day, which felt like it came outta nowhere. Unbelievable. Well, now we definitely know how to get the whole community DRAWING LIKE CRAZY more than ever before!
Now, Phoe, I'm not mad and I'm still super glad you decided to do this, though I'm sure you're going to have to get lots of help running this now that we know how crazy-huge it's gonna be! I don't mind if my stuff's put up late, I especially don't even expect it to be really noticed within this massive menagerie of amazing art, I just feel satisfied knowing that I definitely sent you an email before the deadline. That's what matters--actually DOING a piece and submitting it on a schedule. Makes us feel like we're doing something "real", you know? And definitely helps us improve.

Aww..., mine looks really out of place in there =P
Glad to hear we have extra time though,
i usually take my time with this so it should improve..., my..., something...-
Hmm..., i wonder if we have to use the same character in the same uniform/armor?
Oh, and umm, hi everyone =)
(1'st and 2'nd posts here)
126+128+177) Haha! Fellow Kitchen Krusaders!
We have some nice armor! And more importantly, enough recruits to seriously shift the balance in this mock war!
Now then, training. Brainstorming ideas... Putting the obvious TF2 reference on the backburner... Recalling all training moments...
In @ 103!
Hmm... next time maybe don't take a cell phone picture in a dark room. Maybe turn on a light or something.
Also, I promise I'm not using the contest as an excuse to draw things from my own fic... I CAN'T HELP IT IT JUST HAPPENS THAT WAY OK?
So umm yeah...I guess I'll shamelessly post my link too. Silly time zones made me miss the deadline for the first assignment :<
http://pirill-poveniy.deviantart.com/#/d4m0ddq
I'm #213 Man, I'll have to try and use Paintshop this time. They got my name wrong though.
Wow barely made it, #295 here, Feeling pretty good about both this pic an my new idea for day 2. New Lunar Republic for the win all the way.
Thanks again Phoe for this and don't beat yourself up, stuff happens and at least you got all this up, a real trooper on that.
Aww, all of that rushing to meet the deadline and I'm one of the 260. shameless self bump: http://minimoose772.deviantart.com/#/d4lzerr
Haahaha. My total failure made it in.
Whee. xD
#223 Here, I'm a programmer who has never drawn before. Confound these ponies, driving me to try something new!
Don't worry about it! You went further than a lot of us would be able to, I think. We all really appreciate your dedication!
Work kept me behind but figured I'd quickly try and finish what I'd started. :) Made up some ponies up for this, we'll how they get on.

#233 won the competition. Hands down.
#273's not that bad either *cough* :P
Okay I think we all know Spartan II armor is best kind of armor. But all these do have potential.
Gah, typo, I meant 223. Though 233 is good too.
I hate you, keyboard.
Well then again the Steel Ranger (Brotherhood of Steel) armor does have something to be said for itself.
Spartan II? Thats not how You spell Tactical Dreadnought Armor.
Actually quite happy with so many people joining in, all these wonderful references :D
Ha, I regret posting 86, The hell was I thinking xD
At least it won't be hard to improve on the next picture xD
#137 HELGHAST PONY? Awesome *plays KZ2 Helghast March*
OMG ART!
Way to make my art feel insignificant now everypony, but really good job!
I'm afraid i will not be able to finish all my work up in time :(.
Only now i understood I was really late, thought 5 days are for 1 work (pity me).
Oh well, maybe will get in time with next ones.
Heh... Yeah, this is going to be a fun week, provided the technical details get worked out. I don't think I'm going to be able to comment on all of the entries as I would with a Drawfriend though...
Still, so much awesome pony, and so many clever ideas. Plus, every artist who gets their work posted should know that they have an audience of literally tens of thousands looking at their work.
My favorites are the ones with a sense of humor... the whole idea of this thing just makes me chuckle.
Thanks to everyone who shared their work! The amount of ideas on display is awesome, and I can't wait for more!
Look at mine on DeviantART... It's gotten pretty entertaining. http://wisami.deviantart.com/art/Crappy-Drawing-of-a-Pony-in-Armor-278680547
Yay I got posted #297, my first pic on Deviant Art.
I agree with Phoe. 121 is best.
Also, its nice to see some great authors are also great artists, like Pegusus Rescue Brigade and Mysecsha
This seems like a pretty legitimate excuse for people to showcase their OCs. Not that there's anything wrong with that, some of them are really great! Can't wait for more arts!
@Wisami I mean the comments.. not the useless piece of art
*starts to complain about not having my art posted yet
*sees all the awesome art here
okay.jpg
#132 sweet! A fellow Eagle Scout brony!
May as well post link of mine here http://scatmanseth.deviantart.com/art/Equestrian-Spellsword-278876025
@Wisami Yours was way better than mine, at any rate. Mine truly is useless. Still, gave me an excuse to start drawing again.
@Scatman Did you read the comments?
@Wisami
Are you implying that I would stoop so low as to post a comment before reading what others had said?
Because the answer is yes.....
@Scatman I mean Celestia's comments on my DeviantART http://wisami.deviantart.com/art/Crappy-Drawing-of-a-Pony-in-Armor-278680547
Ah. Wasn't paying close attention.
@Scatman Did you read them?
Yay! I got on here, first time too! (#249) Now I have a great idea for day 2 :)
You are far too kind.
Wait, can we submit yet? I can't tell.
Yay! I made it to number 11 :D! I'm taking this Irish theme to the extreme!
so happy that made it in at #26 (obviously the numbers aren't based on skill because there are so many better ones.)
but wait, i submitted three pictures.. and this is the worst one... noooooo
*sniff* twilight's nerd armor is so much better than the picture that i drew in 10 minutes with only a crappy pencil and pen right at 3 in the morning when i got the prompt.
Any idea when the submission form for day 2 will be up?
http://fav.me/d4m1uph
Woo, finished my entry!
http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/881/darrentraining.png
I decided I'd do some airbrushing as well. Oddly enough, this didn't take as long to draw as my first entry. Now I just need to know when to submit.
@Tyger
You are totally doing it right! You have no idea how much I love that picture haha
@KrippleStix
Glad someone enjoys my sense of humor. xD
Done with ATG 2. Hurry up and post the third assignment!
