I often say you guys do really well with these prompts but today really blew me away with the quality and inventiveness of the pieces you submitted! Even after 17 days the creative juices are still flowing and you all are rising to the challenge. Keep up the amazing work everyone!
Speaking of accomplishments, you all created a wonderful 121 ponies bringing us up to 2696 ponies as of this post. Our numbers each night seem to have stabilized somewhat as well so let's keep it up and push on through to the end! You guys are getting really close now.
Tonight we have a prompt I hope you'll like! We've so far tackled ponies of good moral fiber, having fun, experiencing emotions and visiting a number of places, but that isn't all that MLP is made of. The world would be pretty boring if we didn't have some nefarious types or those who don't quite see eye to eye. So tonight I'd like to see what you can come up with when you Draw a villainous pony / Draw a misunderstood pony.
As usual, you can find our submitter here! Good luck and have fun everyone!
Remember, our compiler is up a few hours even after this post goes up so feel free to submit 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!

22 Fluttershy's Pet Day at the Beach - B.J. Dazzle
Yes, Fluttershy invited the shark. No, she didn't tell Applejack.
Not my best work; mostly just wanted to get something submitted.

25 NATG2017 - DAY16 - Sundown Wrap Up - DarkDabula
Be careful Luna ! Maybe you have also to cleanup the moon ... again.
Hi guys !
Today is my first work day after vacation. But I will try to keep up the the daily tasks of EqDs Newbie Artist Training Ground.
This time I chose the other option of the topic. Luna wants to be helpful with her vacuum cleaner.
But Celestia seems not to appreciate it ...
I had some difficulties with the different shades of Luna and I failed a little bit with that.
But I am somehow pleased with the result.

28 What's at the bottom - Zypdv-HP
While others build sand castles (more accurately, mounds, we aren't that good), I just like to see how deep I can dig.

29 Perfect Weather For Fun At The Shore - Friendship Is Horses
Ouch. This looked better in my head. I had fun doing it, though. That red belt thing is to keep Dash's wings secure so the pounding waves don't break them.

36 Mane6 at the Beach - ttkitty441
Okay, I know that the coloring skill here is of a five year old, but I was feeling kind of upset and lazy at the time, making it come out like this. Also I made a new style for this because for some reason I cannot have one style.

38 Praise the sun \o/ - Ragmo
We all seek our own sun - someone has found hers \o/
It's not my best, but i'm very ok with it - apart from Celestia being a bit to small :D
Also trying to make multiple different colors in greyscale with only 2 different pencils isn't that easy... and when i scannend it in, i hoped i didn't forget anything... and i forgot the eyelashes on my oc :( those eyelashes... are FAKE :( edited them in via GIMP after scanned;

47 Aquamarine: Beach episode! - Kinrah
"You went to the city's artificial beach once. You say went. Unwillingly. Your GRANDMOTHER dragged you there mainly so she could critique everypony else's swimwear. You HATE the beach. You also hate sand, this stupid rubber ring, other beachgoers, the summer sun and the fact that you lost one flipper.
The water was nice though."
Of course, this was minutes before she tore the ring off, destroyed it, and stormed home. Aquamarine never was that social.

69 Where Did You Come From? - Novaintellus
This surely doesn't seem like a coincidence, Did you swim all the way here just to see me?
Oh me? I'm just waiting for the next wave; If you'd like, you can keep me company.

73 Shoreline Ruminations - HorizonsBound
Finally broke down and jumped back into this. I don't know why I used markers, I originally wanted just a splash of color, and ended with a fully inked paper.

75 Summer Vacation - EbonyCrystal1986
Now this was a fun one to draw. And barely any coloring issues this time around either. :3
For today's prompt, I let Ebony trade in her regular glasses for sunglasses to do just that(the bottle's supposed to be some apple juice from Sweet Apple Acres. Ice cold of course). :3
Personally I could use a vacation at the beach since it's been so hot here in Alabama lately, but unfortunately I haven't been able to do so, so I figured I'd at least have some fun imagining it. :3

80 Fun in the sun? - World Eater
The beach, that's okay. The sun, though, that's just way too bright. Especially with all that sand, so it's bright in every direction. Where's my sunglasses?

82 Dashie at the Beach - TheDarkSatanicorn
It's just Rainbow Dash showing her awesomess at the beach.
Really proud of this one in overall, and it wasn't a difficult one to do TBH

85 Chillin' on the Beach - HalflingPony
Yep, BB's just laying there chilling out... oh wait. That's hypothermia setting in, isn't it? Good thing that deserted island sunlight will warm her right up!

Jasmine anthro ready to get the beach in her new swim-suit. Really tried pushing myself on the shading, not perfect but getting a whole lot better!

You thought you'd be getting cute ponies in bikinis didn't you?
Instead you get this
Grandfather was reluctant to with the family on vacation to the resort island. They promised fun and adventure, going somewhere you’ve never been, and that a little sun and surf would revitalize the soul, and make him feel young again.

94 Beach hoers - Mister Twister
Originally wanted to hack it, but this ended up being one of the most beautiful things I produced. And keep in mind this is a small scale drawing, I am a real master of the brush pen, and Kuretake 13 is the best!

99 Game Note at the worst beach possible - Franzyd
Game Note decided to go to a beach on an island
Turns out he's gonna have a hard time...
BTW the beach name is Toronbo Beach and I completed the Island easily at the first try

101 Never underestimate the power of the Sun - Binky T.
Had more planned for this one (started all the way back at 12-1 in the afternoon). Someone in my house misplaced my art supplies and this was the best I can put in for. Something is better than nothing… Right?

115 Wrasslin' is Magic: prompt #16: Snowflake: The True Beast Incarnate! - Jameson Ethan
Yeah! Fun in the sun.
I bolieve in 2003 is the year, WWE had a Summer Slam ad on their wrestling shows that depicted Brock Lesnar F5-ing a shark (an F5 is basically a fireman-carry body-swing inverted neckbreaker, a devastating move). Not a real shark, Brock would have hurt the shark. Anyway, Snowflake would make a great wrestler, a champion even! Although, at the moment, Fluttershy doesn't approve.

118 Sun Bathing - Frith
I built on some rolling and sunbathing equines I've photographed, but I had to hunt down several images for reference, my best bets came from the 'baked bads' and the 'bunny stampede' scenes. Thank Calpain there's an extension, I had to grab a few winks and get up at 2:30 in the AM to finish this. Looks OK now, I'll probably hate it later.
