I've got to say I'm quite impressed, everyone! Usually makeup days are a bit slower than normal prompt days but you guys managed to pull off a very nice total of 132 ponies today, almost as much as the last prompt day, bringing us up to 1973 ponies altogether.
Now that we've had a chance to catch up and maybe take a little break, are you guys ready for the next prompt? We might have some overlap (which is bound to happen since you guys are so creative) but since you all have had some practice with actions, expressions, drawing more than one pony, poses and more I thought it would be fun today to Draw a pony on a grand adventure / Draw a pony on a personal journey. The great thing about pony is not only is it a great look at slice of life scenarios but our ponies certainly know how to quest with the best!
As always you can find our submitter for today here! Best of luck everyone!
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!

1 A Stand-Up Job - phallen1
Day 1: Standing. Newbie skydiver Twilight Sparkle manages her first stand-up landing. It's harder than it looks!

2 Getting A Handle - phallen1
Day 2: In motion; in need of direction. Falling is a kind of motion, right? So is reaching for the main handle, and flailing when you can't find the handle. Skydiving instructor Fluttershy is going to give (the Great and Powerful) Trixie a couple more seconds to find it before she pulls her student's parachute for her. Either way, Trixie isn't passing this jump.

3 You're Never Alone - cryptated
"i won't let you fall apart on your own;
you're never alone."
I ran around the house after finishing this and hurt my knee. Regretttt.
Went for a chaotic, sketchy aesthetic. For whatever reason, I thought that would 'work' for the Everfree.
Prompt:
Draw a pony in mortal peril / Draw a pony steeling themselves.
I did technically start the sketch for this on the original day for the prompt, but work limited my time. Friendo Silvy said to finish it anyway, so here it is days later.

6 So Done - DoctorEMH
Been wanting to start entering this, but so far this is the only image I've produced, and I think it shows something like the day three prompt, I mean Rarity has obviously been stretched to her limit with whoever she's talking to.

Decided to mix it up and go non-canon for this one. So here’s a misguided stallion picking a fight way out of his weight class with the indomitable Gia.

32 Revenant Horse - Friendship Is Horses
Draw a pony in mortal peril/draw a pony steeling themselves. Short version of the story behind this picture: Starlight Glimmer was playing everypony for a fool with her 'reformed' act while she learned magic from Twilight. She stole Twi's alicorn magic and cutie mark and dumped her in the dragon lands to be prey. Twilight's making her way towards Canterlot to stop Starlight from executing the rest of her plan to take over Equestria and turn it into a communist dystopia.

I am not sure Celestia will take back that book ...
Hi guys !
Originally I wanted to take a rest from art this day because its "Makeup Day" on Equestrias Dailys Newbie Artist Training Ground.
But I couldn't help me and I doodled a little something ...
I wish you a nice day/evening or whatever.

72 Getting Ready For the Gala(re-draw) - EbonyCrystal1986
Since day seven's prompt was to draw a pony modeling or a pony being a model citizen, I decided to do a redraw from last year's ATGs(just follow the link to see both to compare :3) since it technically counts. I've been getting a lot of great art tips recently and decided to try a brand new lineart and coloring style and I can already see the improvements from last year, too! I can't wait to see even more improvements as time goes on! :3

Time to upload all the previous entries that I tried to catch up on. Didn't manage to catch up on all of them, but a good bunch.
In case it's not clear, the idea of this picture is that this is a battle field and a pony mourning the losses.

This would have been my attempt at the EQD ATG 2017 Day 10 - 'Draw a pony grappling', but due to a number of things happening I was unable to do it then, so here it is now. Hopefully it turned out okay :)

84 Angry Murky - LapnLook
Well at least it was supposed to be Murky Number Seven, but I'm not exactly good at this haha. Everything is just a little bit off on my drawings at this point. This is for the emotional pony prompt by the way.

Due to being on vacation at the time, I missed the first three days of this Artist Training Grounds.
Current time constraints only allowed me to draw the prompt for day 1 today; I'll make the prompts for days 2 and 3 on the next makeup day.

109 Silly Numptie Protecting Her Honey - Torvusil
Just Silly defending her small jar of honey from unknown assailants. Probably from hornets.
This would have been drawn and submitted yesterday, but I mixed up the dates for the makeup day. I thought day #10 would be the makeup day, but in reality it was #11. So, I ended up creating the picture for day #11 first.

Sometimes I miss being a goalkeeper. But also i don't, I was there for about 10 years and it got boring standing alone for 90 minutes :p I also wish I was better, but I did make at least one save like this recently since I had to go in nets and i felt complete since I always wanted to make a save like this.

It's a reference drawing of Diesel (Kevin Nash, aka Super Shredder) and Shawn Michaels when they were tag team champions back in the mid-90s, fortunately, i was too young to realize those were dark days for the wwf, good times.
