Another day means another day of the ATG my friends! Over the past 24 hours I tasked you all with a prompt for some locomotive ponies and you all delivered marvelously. As of this writing we have 241 ponies to add to our new running total, bringing us up to 469 ponies altogether!
Now that we've gotten our ponies to stretch their legs a bit we can start easing into more complex prompts that will give you chances to try out more postures, expressions, and settings! That's why for today our prompt will be: Draw a pony warming up / Draw a pony stretching its limits.
Best of luck guys! You can find the uploader for today here.
Remember, our compiler is up a few hours even after this post goes up so feel free to submit your submission even though this post is up!
Check on after the break for our full gallery!

The floor is lava! :p
I made this in about fifteen minutes. I think the chess/checkers motif is interesting. It's always fascinated me, as it's somewhat of a metaphorical journey.

9 The flaw of GPS - Slizergiy
Dear Princess Celestia, today I lernt that you can't rely on a GPS alone. If its your only means of navigation and something goes wrong with it, your kinda skuppered. Allways bring a map and compass as a backup, becuase being lost is not fun. Yours truley, Spike.

14 Wrestling is Magic: prompt #2: She calls it, the Spotlight Back-splash! - Jameson Ethan
Announcer:
"What is this?! Spotlight Splash, out of nowhere, interrupts Rocket Tier's grand pose upon the turnbuckle and in the same motion she is throwing him over her head for a super back suplex! What just happened, what does this mean!?"
Don't worry, they are trained professionals, and please, don't try this at home.

I thought I'd try a different style to what I'm used to. So I grabbed a blue pencil and didn't really rub anything out afterwards. Hope you like it!

117 Anthem: Be lost. - Kinrah
ANTHEM: What could possibly go wrong
BLISS: I hate you.
ANTHEM: No you don't
The thing about Anthem Crystal is she'll look at a decision objectively, work out which will have the best outcome, and then go with the stupid choice anyway, dragging her coltfriend Skyforge (not pictured) and BFF Bliss Crystal (right, no relation, why do ponies keep asking that?) along behind her. Bliss's almost constant headaches are very relatable.

Text, if you're having trouble, reads as so;
*Alright, a pony in motion, or,
*A pony in need of direction?
*I mean, what, how do I even draw that?
*How do you even show some thing like that?
This was inspired by true events.

Traditional Piece I did primary with Uni•Ball Vision Elite pen for lineart. I used a picture of a real horse galloping as reference for positioning of the body and legs. Eye colored for a pop of color to add some life to contrast the monochrome setting.

132 Out for a Stroll - EbonyCrystal1986
I just a decided to do a simple drawing of Ebony taking a stroll in the park. It WAS a bit difficult drawing her walking, but I think she actually turned out pretty good here.:3

This time, I was able to get a good 3 to 4 hours to work on this piece. I've never done a trotting pose yet. The hind leg looked a bit iffy, but I decided it was sufficient enough to submit.

It's Rick Hansen, the Mane In Motion! Didn't you recognize him? Well, you asked for a pony in motion and I gave you Rick. Canada, represent! He's in Vancouver, I wonder if he's noticed MLP? For reference, I used a photo of Rick, Big MacIntosh seated, Bulk Biceps and Wind Rider.

Well, if there is one reason to kill two birds with one stone, it will be Derpy. Here I have Derpy, flying through the sky without a care in the world. Of course going through that many circles will eventually make her sick. Or not. Hard to tell.
Derpy was not harm in the making of this picture.

Decided to do something based on the scene from Sonic Rainboom where RD saves Rarity. Used a chibi style I've been using for a while now on some recent images. While simple, it gave me much needed practice with posing on the chibis.
