Artist Training Grounds VII - Makeup Day 2

Wow, can you guys really believe we are now past day 20 in the ATG? It feels like only yesterday that it started, but you guys have made astounding progress in that time! To believe it all started with just a single standing pony. I know a lot of you guys are probably feeling a bit of fatigue, but you're doing well and in a little more than a week it'll be over, each of you having tested yourself to grow and improve as artists.

For day 20's prompt we managed 97 ponies pushing us up to 3117 ponies in total! Well done!

As I said, today will be a makeup day for the ATG. Time to take a little time to relax and let your sore fingers rest, catch up on prompts you missed or even take another shot at a prompt you really liked!

I'll be pumping up the entries allowed to 20 to account for all the prompts, so you should be able to draw to your heart's content!

Today's post is a little early due to the episode post going up at midnight! You still have plenty of time to submit.

As usual you can find our submitter here!

Check on after the break for our full prompt list at the top of the gallery! It's getting pretty long, don't want to clutter up the front page. Good luck everyone!

Morning Discussion #951

Nothing like being banished to a barren and desolate place. I can't even imagine being stuck somewhere for a year let alone 1000.

Morning guys, at least in some places. We've got a new episode tomorrow so have an early MD!

Hasbro Uploads "Make Up Shake Up" EQG Short to Youtube!

Guess I can use this Sunset tonight! We didn't get a short on TV but we did get one on Hasbro's Youtube channel (even though it's an old one). Make Up Shake Up is now ready for viewing so check on after the break for the video!

Thanks to everyone who sent it in!

Electronic Music: Tripon - P Skanka [Drum & Bass] / VooDoo - Times To Come [Electro/Trance]

Tripon is on a mission to bring some pretty awesome drum & bass to the pony scene, and here's another new track from him in a style we don't really tend to hear in the fandom. Deep, dark vibes roll through the track with some fantastic mixing of the percussion throughout. Secondly, we have a new track from VooDoo that explores some lovely electro vibes with a sort of mild trance-y feel to it as well. Check them both below!

Nightly Discussion #1172

You know, I can totally see Pinkie doing something like this. With Pinkie any idea is within the realm of possibility.

Evening guys! Ready for the weekend ahead?

Story: Shell Game

[Romance]

Author: BlazzingInferno

Description: Fluttershy’s struggle with her crippling shyness seemed to be over, now that she had six best friends whisking her off on adventures on a regular basis. Her therapist had other ideas, such as her making a new pony friend all on her own. Her attempt to fulfill that challenge, by way of introducing herself to the first pony to cross her path, didn’t go at all like she expected. 

A season one romance.

Electro Music: Filly In The Box - The Hills Beyond Equestria / Filly In The Box - Still Blind

Filly In The Box is back with a couple of awesome new electro pieces of varying feel. The first is a chilled out track that focuses on some nice synth melodies and drawn out vocal sounds alongside solid percussive work. The second is a lot heavier and focuses more on energetic vocal chopping and super cool bass design. Check them both below!

Sunset Shimmer's Sushi Cart and Design a Pony Vinyl Movie Figure Listed on Amazon

Three new items have been popped up on Amazon. A new Design-A-Vinyl Princess Twilight Sparkle joins the sushi kart above, and finishes with a Pinkie Pie merry-go-round. I almost want to do an event with Twilight there seeing how ridiculous you all can design her. It's a shame they don't have those super cheap blank molds the older generations had.

Get them all below!

Comic: Reunited / Strings / Episode 16 Predictions / Talent / Opening / Timey Wimey 89 / Sable 50

I'm just loving these sweet comics that have come out of Perfect Pear. My feels are having a hard time with them, but I love them all the same.

Comics guys, get them all after the break.

The third comic may have some slight spoilers.

Animation: Bronies Stamp on the Ground

Wow, this a blast from my past! I remember seeing the original by Zarla way back when I was still in high school about... 11 or 12 years ago? Anyhow, looks like Lightning Bliss as animated a pony version starring a bunch of bronies from the fandom! Get it after the break.

More My Little Pony Movie Posters Appear - Simply Electrifying!

Apparently on the MLP Movie Twitter, it appears that some new movie posters have popped up in time to remind us that pony is just seven weeks away! Much like the posters from last week, this batch is just as psychedelic, electric even.

We've got posters of a ton of the secondary characters after the break! Except Spike of course, he's a main character in my eye! Thanks to everyone who sent these in!

Compilation Albums: Horse Music Central Vol. 4 / Ragnarok Vol. 1

There's been a bit of an increase in compilation albums being released recently, which I'm totally in favour of! First up Horse Music Central have released their 4th album, with 17 tracks from a variety of artists such as Budzy, Totalspark, Viricide Filly and more! There's all kinds of genres, but the general theme is a bit of summer fun. The second album, from Magnus Records, features 6 incredible tracks from some of the best bass artists in the fandom - Einarx, Lovestruck Brony, AJ Young, Suskii, Chang31ing and Mantlegen, and the quality of music in it is pretty awesome! You can check out the HMC album here, the Magnus Records album here, and find a teaser video for Ragnarok below the break!

EXCLUSIVE: My Little Pony: The Movie Prequel #3--Extended Preview!

Dang it! I want that Star Trek: The Motion Picture Homage Cover for issue 4! Why does it have to be august right now?

Oh yeah. It's so that our friends over at IDW Publishing can send us the exclusive reveal of the extended preview for My Little Pony: The Movie Prequel Issue #3! Thank you friends at IDW Publishing!

So, at the end of the last issue we found out there are no cats in the Storm King's empire, and the streets are paved with cheese.

...

That doesn't sound right.  While I try to figure out why I was singing about Russian mice immigrating to America, you can check out the full extended preview after the break!

Animation: The Dawn of Aphix

I'm not sure why this exists, but I'm glad it does. Musician/writer UndreamedPanic, vocalist Flittzy and artist GROskAr have gotten together to produce a truly bizarre yet captivating tale - check it out below!

Artist Training Grounds VII - Day 20

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!
