Nothing like exploring your past to help understand your future! Even if the past is a little... confusing. I'm really happy to see what you guys came up with over the past 24 hours! Quite a bit of imagination, though it might be my bias towards seeing ponies eating grass and such, heh. Well done everyone!
For today we brought in an additional 93 ponies bringing us up to 3783 ponies in total!
With us up to day 27 with only a couple more prompts left before our wrap up prompts I can only hope at this late point you all are still having fun! For today's prompt I thought it would be nice to bring up one from last year where I had you guys Draw a pony on the mend / Draw a pony fixing something to give you a chance to draw ponies a little under the weather or fixing anything from friendships, to cars, to starships!
As usual you can find our submitter here! Have fun 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!

4 A pony has got to eat! - Rarityismywaifu
Nothing says back to nature like eating grass growing right out of the ground! But Lamika better be careful because that grass is radioactive!!

10 Octavia, jungle mare - Mango Island
As you can imagine, Octavia has had enough of her cello-life in Canterlot, and spent her entire time in the lush-green jungles of Equestria, as the nature-loving mare. Mess up nature, and she'll mess you up!

Princess Celestia gave Twilight and her friends a challenge - To survive in the wild for a week...
FS :
These's some fresh grass...Twilight asked me to collect some of it...let's get it...(bite)
Oh my my!I've never eat such delicious grass...I think just one more bite will be okay...
And cute Fluttershy just ate all of the grass on the field,thankfully Twilight can use magic to make cake,they finished the challenge eventually. (what)

20 It's a start - Binky T.
Little Terra here was created in a lab in a large tube. For a plant pony, she doesn't know how nature works. She heard of something plants do and decided to do it for herself.... it's a start.

21 Back to the roots - Ragmo
Yes I know - he just graduated a couple of days ago, but he now hears the call of nature and has to life his old life for some days... seems he needs some advice for it.

22 NATG2017 - DAY26 - Primitive Art - DarkDabula
I wonder what Twili thinks about that.
Hi guys.
The end of EqDs Newbie Artist Training Ground is in sight. I am happy that I could keep up until now.
I bet every artist sometime think "Oh my, what did I there !" after he finished a piece. But sometime I it just flows from the head onto paper and you think "Wow ! That looks good !". Art is always has ups and downs.

25 Little Tigress - Moonlightfan
"No pony knows exactly when the pony race separated from the zebra kind, although we know that a long time a go ponies and zebras weren't as different. In the dawn of time, there was a strong ancestor of both races, called Dinohippus. But no pony really knows just how close ponies are to their striped cousins. Blame the magic!"

28 Rarity Eats Her Words - Friendship Is Horses
In the heat of the moment, Rarity bet Applejack she could live off the land for an entire week if she had to. Applejack called her on it. Now she's got to prove she can live like a wild horse. But when your toilet is made of the same stuff as your dinner, every bite is a gamble...

33 Anthem: Need help? - Kinrah
CELESTIA: How long have you been there, exactly?
ANTHEM: Oh hours
ANTHEM: By which I mean ten minutes
ANTHEM: Find a chainsaw
One might ask how Anthem ends up in these situations. Her answer is always the same: "It seemed like a good idea at the time". She is now wedged and this WILL end with splinters.

41 Primitive Rage! - Stone39
Flutterbat is an easy choice for a feral pony. I drew this mostly during my work shift so it's a little more rough than usual because no eraser. :)

46 Male Bonding - Allonsbro
Braeburn taking his boys camping. Can't get much farther back to nature than male bonding in the outdoor woods.
I changed the older boy a little. Last time I drew him, I gave him red eyes, but now he has his mama's blue ones. And with the appearance of a certain bearded wizard on the show, I've changed his name to Sunrise. Honeycrisp, the younger one, is still the same ole cute patoot.

48 Applejack Going Back to Nature - B.J. Dazzle
This one was tough to figure out. You're getting devious with these prompts, Calpain!
Guess Applejack had a stressful day on the farm or something.

Prehistoric counts as primitive, right?
Also, how the heck do cutie marks fit with evolution?

62 Nature Hike - EbonyCrystal1986
I'm really proud of the background I did for this one-even though this pic took most of the day to do, it was worth it. :3
Fluttershy decided to invite Ebony along with her on a nature hike through White Tail Woods so Ebony could come up with some new inspiration for her artwork. Of course the unicorn was more than happy to join her friend and even brought her old sketch pad along for the trip. She hadn't done any traditional art in a long time, so it felt great to go back to her roots to draw the way she did before she had earned her cutie mark. Some things you just don't forget, even if it's been a long time since you've done them. :3
I myself haven't done traditional art since 2013, but I MIGHT do a traditional pic once my anatomy gets even better to see how much I've improved over the years, so who knows... :3

68 Daphne - Binky T.
Welp, decided to take this prompt and take it into a whole other turn. This probably has to be one of the darkest things I've done for ATG thus far. Most of my entries have been fairly light-hearted and when they were more mature, they weren't too out there. I got kinda inspired by the story of Daphne, because I'm an absolute sucker for Greek mythology. ;) Anyway, decided not a pony not only going back to nature, but actually becoming it. I'm a huge fan of freaky and macabre sorta things, and if this gets in It'll be a fine day for me. And one last thing- I was gonna do Flutters, but I can already see from a mile away all the Fluttertrees inbound. Plus, I already did her today and she was pretty happy.

72 ATG [Day 26] Grass eating?! - BluestFlames
This is for the Artist Training Grounds On Equestria Daily!
Today's prompt was to: Draw a primitive pony / Draw a pony going back to nature.
So I took a twist on this and drew a pony, which is Candy Puff, eating grass!

80 Spiny-backed Ponysaurus - Frith
Look! A spiny-backed ponysaurus. Pony saurus. So... ponies and dragons have a recent common ancestor? If ponysaurs can spit flames, I guess a Quest For Fire movie staring ponysaurs would be silly? Unless it was a Quest For Tires movie instead.

Generation 1 ponies in Lascaux cave art.
Instead of scanning in an inked drawing and coloring it like a cel, this one was painted entirely in Pixelmator to create a more "painted" look.
