I hope you got your art equipment ready! As was promised, today's Artist Training Ground challenge will be based on the Wonderbolts Academy episode. I'm going to roll with a tier system for those of you that are new to this. Feel free to jump in on any, but Spitfire wouldn't deal with artists that aren't willing to challenge themselves, so choose wisely!
Tier 1 - Training Grounds Initiate
Draw a pegasus at the Wonderbolts Academy. He or she can be training, doing laps, sleeping, whatever you damn well please! The only rule: it must be a pegasus, and they must be at the academy. Uniform optional.
Tier 2 - Experienced Training Grounder
Draw a non-pegasus pony learning to fly at the academy. With the influx of new technologies in Equestria, ponies everywhere have been innovating new ways to fly! Earth ponies are building wing saddles and aircraft, while Unicorns are perfecting their wing creation magic. How you want to go about it is up to you!
Tier 3 - Training Grounds Veteran
Your non-pegasus pony is the top of their class! He or she has been nominated for this year's Wonderbolts selection. Draw the celebration, how they fly, and their honorary Wonderbolts suit! Can you handle all of this in just a day? I'd recommend starting with tier 2 if you think you will run out of time!
Deadline?
Submissions close at 11:59 PM PST on Wednesday, December 19th (Tomorrow). For the sake of the training ground, this is a strict cutoff! Procrastinate wisely.
