Newbie Artist Training Grounds VI: Day 10

I had a feeling you guys would have some great ideas for last night's prompt and I was right! We've gotten everything from pixel ponies to VR ponies and all sorts of different games with creative ideas thrown into the mix to make for one amazing gallery! I'm really proud of you guys as we enter into our first double digit day so let's keep the train rolling and tackle it head on as we celebrate the 231 gaming ponies we received today, bringing our total to 2560 ponies!

After all these prompts I bet our ponies are getting a bit tired so we have a relaxing prompt for you all tonight as we take a stab at drawing a pony sleeping/drawing a pony's dream. As usual you can find our submitter here. 

We are also getting close to our first Makeup Day so if there is a prompt you wish you could have done but couldn't or if you had a favorite prompt you want to try again that day would be your chance.

Now, onto our gallery! Check it out after the break!

Girl With Brain Cancer Looking For Cards From Around The World For Her MLP Bday

It was brought to my attention tonight by one of our submitters, Dom, of a little girl living in my State just a couple hours away who is looking to have a special birthday. Her name is Maddie and unfortunately she has a rare form of brain cancer, but that isn't stopping her from being a normal little girl.

She is planning on having an MLP themed birthday party for her sixth birthday and as a special request she is asking for cards from around the world to help cheer her up on her special day. Our fandom has always been there for kids from Kiki to Michael Morones so lets try our very best to help make a little girl's birthday wish come true!

If you'd like to send her a birthday card, a postcard or just a little note of encouragement you have until September 4th to get your letter in the mail.

You can send your post to the address below and you can check out Maddie's story here. She also has a GoFundMe if you'd like to donate towards her medical bills.

Let's do this my friends and spread just a little happiness into the world!

Poll Results: What Is Your Least Favorite Controversial Thing the Fandom Does?

I'm not sure how I feel about gore being so low on this poll. The results seem a little backwards to me. Poor ponies. Is chopping them up really better than letting them have a little fun?

I'll keep the further opinions for my Twitter. Next poll time:

Should more changelings reform and join Thorax in Equestria?

Get it down below!

EXCLUSIVE: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic #48

"It's time to play the music! It's time to light the lights!"

If you have no idea what the first cover is referencing, please show your parents this cover and ask them about Fozzie Bear.

These really are beautiful covers. Made more so now that we can see them in glorious high resolution! Still no Sar Richard cover, but I have a feeling that will change before too long.

For those who missed the solicitation post from yesterday, you can check it out after the break!

EXCLUSIVE: My Little Pony: Friends Forever #34—Synopsis, Artists, and Writer!

I am well aware that the solicitations were posted yesterday, however the full hi-resolution reveals of the cover are still an Exclusive to Equestria Daily!

And just look at them! They look fantastic!

For those of you who didn't check out the post from yesterday, you can find it after the break!

Going through the numbers in drawfriend correlating to years I've lived is making me all nostalgic. 1995 was good times.

Free Trading Cards for Pony Groups Worldwide

Over 15,000 free cards have been sent out to hundreds of meetup and fan groups with Enterplay's Fan Group Support Program, and now it's time for everyone to get even more sweet freebies!

You don't even have to be a group that actively plays the MLP:CCG, just a group of at least a couple pony fans who want some cute ponies on cute cards that are all shiny and foil. The group should nominate one person to fill out the quick form here... and that's it, you're all set!

In September Enterplay will be sending out special foil copies of cards from High Magic, specifically Pf12 Under the Wire and Pf13 Applejack's Hat (raided directly from AJ's closet). These are particularly nice cards since Applejack's Hat has been very rare before now, and this is Under the Wire's debut!

The signup deadline is on Labor Day, Monday September 5 at 11:59PM - plenty of time left, but don't miss out by leaving it to the last minute! Procrastinaton is such sweet sorrow...

Story: At the Riverside

[Slice of Life]

Author: Pascoite

Description: Another visit to the ER for Dash, but that's not going to keep her from her usual night out with the girls. The conversation turns to Death, and… it's not at all what Twilight expected. Death either.

Morning Discussion #595

Good thing the name Granny Smith is the name of an apple and just so happens to work well as a name when she got old. Can you imagine being named Granny from a young age without it being attached to something real like a type of apple?

Morning everyone! Ready to chat?
