Phew guys... I just got home not too long ago from the eclipse and man was it something amazing. You can't really describe how it feels seeing something like that. It's so... magical and almost mystical. If you did miss it, you all have another chance at it in 2024 when the US gets an eclipse again!
Anyhow, I know I'm a little late so let's get this party started! I see you guys created another awesome 95 ponies bringing us up to 3419 ponies in total.
For tonight's prompt I think we'll do something I bet both of us can relate. For tonight I'd like you guys to Draw an utterly exhausted pony / Draw a pony at wit's end. Considering how long I've stayed up for this eclipse I'm more of the former, heh.
You can find our submitter as always here! Good luck and have fun guys!
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!

"Twili watch the stars !"
Hi guys !
Another day, a new prompt of EqDs Newbie Artist Training Ground.
I chose the star gazing topic and I had to call Twili in again. After yesterdays chair science, she deserved a classic relaxing star gazing.
To draw Twili from that perspective was a bit hard but I think I managed it well.
What do you think ?
Created with pen(s) and paper
Color correction with GIMP

20 Solar Eclipse - Ragmo
Witnessing an very rare event. I could only see it via TV, but it looked awesome - hope noone of you missed it :)
Next one i COULD see without TV (and without traverling half way around the world) would be 2081.
Tried something new here. Only working with the silhouette infront of the darkness with a white/erased outline and some climps of the sun at the outside. At thumbnail size i think it looks realy good. Played around with the Contrast and brightness settings in GIMP2.
Something i should try someday: getting toned paper and a white pencil - would've worked better on this one

On Monday, August 21st, 2017, the moon eclipsed the sun completely for some, and partially for others.
This is one of those partial eclipses.

28 Celestia: Handle it. - Kinrah
"You FAIL to handle it. You are now one slip-up away from becoming a Pony Pancake. Turns out moving the moon? It's actually REALLY DIFFICULT. Who knew?
This next couple of minutes MAY GET INTERESTING."
Because nothing says eclipse more than having a moon less than two feet away from your face. Logical followup to Celestia: Face the music.

42 Eclipse - Binky T.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH MY GOD INKSCAPE IS SO HARD TO USE. Anyway, I decided to do something different. Vectoring! I'm still not used to Inkscape, but i'm getting there. I'm quite proud of how this came out and it is possibly the entry that took the most time and effort. I know it isn't as good as others, but it's amazing my standards. ^^

54 Celestia Eclipsed by the Stars - B.J. Dazzle
I get nervous when drawing the alicorns, but I think they turned out pretty good here.
Are we sure LUNA's not evil anymore?

56 Eclipse (Animation) - Fluttershy_Z
Just a simple eclipse animation (technically no pony, but at least there's magic!).
Not scientifically accurate in any way.
I ended up spending more time on this than I wanted.

For this one I wanted to get a certain look that I wouldn't have been able to achieve with colored pencils, so I decided to color this one digitally.

69 Upstaged - Frith
I did a silly solar eclipse slash Celestia butt joke for my Summer Sun Celebration cake, so this time I considered an "upstaged pony" interpretation. Pinkie being eclipsed by Cheese in the party entertainment skill is a gimme, but the expressions where Dash upstages Twilight during her carefully planned Applebuck Season speech calls me. Draw a flabbergasted pony, draw a wide eyed pony. Check!

80 Stargazing Sisters - phallen1
Celestia and Luna, many years ago, about a year after they were rescued from their captivity and came to live in the house of Bolero, their foster father. Eleven-year-old Luna was still very quiet and reserved, but nothing caused her to open up like the night sky. Celestia found every clear, quiet evening that they could go out into the estate and admire the stars until Luna fell asleep in her sister's arms. It brought them both a measure of peace. But Celestia often teared up, thinking about their mother and father, who had introduced them to the beauty of the night sky...
A bit of Air Ponyville lore. And hey, Luna is covering most of Celestia, so it's about a 75% eclipse, right?

91 ATG [Day 22] Eclipse - BluestFlames
This is for the Artist Training Grounds On Equestria Daily!
Today's prompt was to: Draw a pony star gazing / Draw a pony being eclipsed.
So I drew Astral looking at the Eclipse, with the Eclipse glasses, got to keep those cute pony eyes safe!
