Uploader is back up!
Here we are everyone: Day 25! We're on the final stretch of the ATG and while I know some of you are getting tired after so many days of drawing just hold on a little bit longer, the end is in sight and I know you all can do it!
For last night's prompt you guys brought in 89 ponies in various states of surprise and beating the odds bringing us up to 3608 ponies altogether. Keep up the great work everyone!
Now that the ATG is starting to wrap up I wanted to try something we haven't done before during this event. While the ATG is great at getting you all to start drawing, using prompts as inspiration, I got to thinking about what you guys will do after the ATG is over. Certainly you can't rely on prompts all the time though we do have the ATG Alumni group (link below) and various other art challenges out there to provide inspiration. Part of being an artist is finding inspiration in the world around you, your friends, other artwork you see, and so on.
So for tonight I'd like you guys to have a bit more freedom than usual and let you put your skills to the test in whatever way you like by Drawing a pony doing whatever comes to your mind / Draw a pony doing something you've never drawn before.
As usual you can find our compiler for today here! Best of luck everyone, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you can do with this prompt tonight.
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!

3 Pinkie literally beats the odds (NATG VII: Day 24) - Squeaky_Belle
Why did I do this :v
Anyways, thought I'd try drawing back to back since I know I'm going to be busy tomorrow (and technically today since I have to study for a test tomorrow). That's why everything's kinda sketchy and perspective is wonky :o
Prompt for Day 24 was this: Draw a pony beating the odds / Draw a pony doing the unexpected.
Yeah. I'm trying to be funny. Just let me have this one.

Rarity is a real working horse !
Hi guys !
I am still on Equestria Dailys Newbie Artist Training Ground. This time it feels not so much stressful as the last time. Perhaps I have more routine drawing ponies.
I thought about some ponies who do something unexpected and somehow I came to Rarity doing some heavy bucking. Maybe Applejack is making some "dresses" in the meanwhile.

I'm getting the hang of this new shading technique. I wanted to try some weird perspective angles with this one and I think it turned out really well.

29 [COMIC] Discord: Make her squirm. - Kinrah
"It's as if a million shippers cried out and were suddenly silenced."
Of course, Discord isn't averse to saying anything unexpected that might prompt Little Miss Bossy to loose her composure. Taking Luna's challenge was foal's play.

38 Lyra and Bon Bon's Unexpected Si(gh)t - B.J. Dazzle
I wanted to draw Lyra and Bon Bon today. This is the result.
...It's Lyra sitting like a horse instead of a human. I wasn't sure how clear that was.

Hey Glimmy, Trixie's glad she caught up with you two, and she brought her own great, and powerful pillow.
She saw Sunburst scratching your chin, and Trixie disagrees, Everypony knows that Glimmy prefers ear nibbling.

I was going to draw something really unexpected -- a repulsive NSFW orgy with outrageous makeshift dildos. But apparently, it''s now a completely legit and expected topic for the comics posts. Family friendly, y'all!

I'm aware this might resonate but this is what i think of when beating the odds is mentioned. Such adversary being overcome takes it's toil but with the support of everyone, normality can seem within reach.

51 Amazing Graze - Frith
I'm taking another shot at trying to draw a pony grazing. Last time, the Rarity fitting in, passing incognito or whatever the story was for Day 8, lacked. So, grazing ponies, it's unusual, like, unexpected. Yeah, that's the ticket, unexpected. You're watching the show, see, and the camera pans over and there's like, one of the mane 6 cropping the grass and you'd be like, whoa! That was unexpected! Then Fluttershy would totally trip over her mane and accidentally chew it.

Looks like we found the source of the disharmony between the ponies. Seems something's got into Cadence that has her casting dark spells on good friends!

This is for the Artist Training Grounds On Equestria Daily!
Today's prompt was to: Draw a pony beating the odds / Draw a pony doing the unexpected.
So I drew Violet acting weird, and Saroba being confused by it.

Over the last of the previous year's cider, Pinkie and Dash present an idea for Applejack's big entrance into the coming cider festival. Something the down-to-earth farmer normally wouldn't entertain, but...
