Isn't it amazing that every pony, every OC has a story to tell? It's one of the things I love about the fandom, that we have created all these characters to expand our views on the world and add even more depth to it by creating our own adventures and stories. Not only that but taking pre-existing canon characters and giving our own spins on their personalities and lives just makes the characters deeper and deeper as we explore aspects of them not seen on the show. It's artists like all of you that help make that possible, and I thank you all for sharing your perspectives through your art with us all.
Tonight we managed another 102 ponies which now brings us up to 3020 ponies! We've now broken the 3000 picture mark my friends! I wonder how far we'll get?
We've been tackling prompts that can happen in Equestria up to this point so tonight's prompt is something that can let you be a bit more fantastical in your drawings and I hope you guys will enjoy. It's one of the prompts we've used with success in previous ATGs and it's resulted in some great ideas each time we use it. So for today's prompt you guys will Draw a pony from or in the future / Draw a pony in space.
Since we have done another 10 prompts tomorrow will be our makeup day everyone! Time to catch up on prompts, try them again or take a break.
As usual our compiler can be found here! Good luck guys and have fun!
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!

2 Making Her Mark - Binky T.
So I decided to do the very moment a pony realized their special talent. This is my OC, Terra Flora, finding out she can manipulate plants and other flora with a simple flower. And unlike normal Earth pony magic, hers is much powerful because well.. she is an actual earth pony. Her Mane and tail are pretty much leaves and the "dock" is a branch.

13 Lamiks showing off her special talent! - Rarityismywaifu
Here’s Lamika showing off what her special talent really is, Taking care of her family. Be that by running the company her parents left her or protecting her family interests, when it comes to helping whoever she calls family she’s VERY good at it.
So here she is being very disgruntled with a soon to be former employee!

16 Animating Horse - Zecora
I have always wanted to animate, but I think I lack the skills, the time and the equipment for it. But animation is actually the reason I draw :3

21 Tracking - Quint t. W.
Thanks to her abyility of expert tracking, Pointy White is a valued member of the smilopon tribe. With it, she is able to find dinner quickly, easily backtrack if she gets lost, or effectively help in search for missing foals.
The ability does have it's drawbacks too. For example, other foals of her age never wanted to play hide and seek with her.

This one is a bit of a mix really. I wish I could do a one pony band someday, but also, this is one of Pinkie Pie's many talents!

31 Mother and Daughter - Grim Ponka
I know it's kinda cheesy but someday I wish to be a parent happily holding my daughter as she sleeps, tickling her cute little nose from time to time. Well that and I want to hug a cute pone.

32 Hard but meditative work - Ragmo
She luckily never had to use a sword in combat, but she's very skilled with it. Maintaining a blade with those grinding wheels is exhausting - but for her it's also quite meditative.

36 Hoovy is an alicorn - Marcsello
I mean... If papers could give you horns and wings... he'd probably be one.
(nope... I totally not missed the prompts... that's exactly what we'd both do... just standing in a server room, with our papers in our hooves/hands... that's just what we want to do)

44 Penelope's Mark - Binky T.
I had a story for this but I couldn't shorten it enough the meet the character limit. :( But to put some context into it, Penelope is a pegasus who was created by a unicorn who works in what would be Equestria's black market. While originally made just to assist her, they grew close and her creator noticed something about her behavior that was off-putting. She wanted a cutie mark, but couldn't earn one due to her being made of ponies who already had earned theirs. Her master than because jotting up ideas one night until she came to a final design that would fit Penelope. The image shows her off to assist her master would proudly wearing her "cutie mark".

This is for the Artist Training Grounds On Equestria Daily!
Today's prompt was to: Draw a pony showing off their special talent / Draw a pony doing something you wish you could do someday.
So I drew Saroba's Special Talent, which is being able to freeze air!

I had intended to draw Lyra using her magic as though they were human fingers (as in the fanfic Anthropology), but that kinda got lost in the colored pencil.

It might not be her explicit talent, but Luna does seem to have a knack for helping ponies with their nightmares and fears.

Of course, apple bucking itself isn't AJ's talent so much as caring for her farm and family, but it's a part of it she's good at.

97 Wrasslin' is Magic: prompt #19: To Be A Wrestling Champion - Jameson Ethan
(Draw a pony something you 'wish' you can do someday.)
Whilst my oc is around here somewhere, probably sleeping by a window sill. A young Rocket Tier can be my stand-in. As a young bab-bee I pretended to be a champion like Bret Hart (like late 80s / early 90s Bret Hart, when he was Intercontinental Champion, Tag Champion, and had just became World Champion). I won't go into semantics about how pro-wrestling is fake or real, it's all perspective, however, what it really comes down to, is that they are telling a story.
Also, i didn't forget his wrap around his leg, it is being covered by his Astro Boy-like boots. I was watching / listening Astro Boy while drawering.

99 Barking Mad - Frith
It took me awhile to settle on which pony doing what for this prompt. Screw Loose's innate talent is to be barking mad, apparently. That and to keep the hospital ponies occupied. Work is made, complexity is added to Equestrian society, everypony is fulfilled. Weird wild web of commensuality. Road apples, gotta go back to bed, alarm goes off in an hour.
