Newbie Artist Training Grounds VI: Day 15

Being a lover of Toon Link and his facial expression this hit me right in the nerd gland and I had to use it as header tonight! Welcome back once again guys to another night of the ATG! With classes starting up I'm sure things are getting a bit tighter in your schedules but keep it up if you can. Even with school starting you still managed an impressive 161 ponies for tonight, bringing our total to 3599 ponies!

With the ATG slowly but surely coming to a close in the next two weeks I wanted to say how proud I am of you all. You've shown me things I never thought would be used as entries for this little event and your creativity and determination continue to thrill me even after doing these with Phoe after all these years. From creative use of the prompts provided to the huge range of mediums used I can still say, happily, that you guys have a bright future in art. Whether you just started or are an experienced artist honing your skills, you've all shown me again and again the spirit and raw creative power this fandom has to offer; the things I love about this fandom.

Now before I get too mushy on you all I have tonight's prompt for you guys! For the most part we've been dealing with ponies fully lit and enjoying Celestia's sun, but now that you've had a taste of the day I would like you to tackle what things would be at night by having you draw a pony staying up late/draw a pony in the dark. It is school time after all and I bet we're all looking at long nights ahead! As usual, find our submitter here.

Onward to the gallery after the break!

More Amazing Balloons From Balloon Pony!

When I was at Grand Brony Gala earlier this month I had the pleasure of seeing NoOrdinaryBalloonMan in action! Not only in designing this amazing display but as he made balloon creations for con goers and children alike. While I took some pictures myself, my phone can't compare to amazing pics taken by Joseph Karson, photographer at GBG, Evan Bernardi, and Brawny Buck!

Check out the rest of the amazing pictures after the break!

Drawfriend Stuff #2000

As if she wasn't going to be at the top. You all know me by now.

Holy crap. 2000 of these? Can we go ahead and take a break for a week or something? I think my art eyes are going to break at this rate.

I think out of all of those, we've only missed one due to a convention internet outage way back a few years ago. You got double the art the next day though!

Anyway, go get tons of pony below!

Ponycon Releasing Convention Comic Leading Up To Convention

They have quite a few pages with updates coming every Friday which you can see in our comic posts! Interested? Well check on after the break for the full press release and a link to the comic thus far!

My Little Pony: Puzzle Party Review

Howdy, folks! TheSlorg here, and you may remember back in July we posted a short article featuring Andrea Libman talking about her role in the latest official MLP mobile game—My Little Pony: Puzzle Party by Backflip Studios. If not, you can find that article here.

Well, after giving it a good, thorough play through, I figured I'd post my thoughts on the game for anyone who has yet to decide whether or not to download it. I do realize this may be coming a bit late for many of you, but I wanted to ensure I'd seen everything the game had to offer before passing judgement.

So sit back, relax, and prepare for the good, the bad, and the pony!

Discussion: Have You or Will You Spread Pony To Your Kids or Siblings?

It has been six years since pony began, and a lot can change in that many years. Some of you may have had kids, while others might have a new sister or brother. The joy of cartoon horse can be a strange one due to the usual societal stigmas against cute ponies.

If you fall into one of those categories, did you spread the pony to your siblings? Or if you have kids, did you introduce them to the show?

If you plan on having kids, will you be decking them out in pony gear?
