Unfortunately I have to make this post a little sooner than I would like. I have to get up early in the morning in order to go to a meeting so I have to post what I have. Hopefully there is time in the morning to post what I've missed!
Today we managed to bring in 74 ponies bringing us up to 3750 ponies! Nice work everyone!
We are now entering our final days of the ATG so I think this particular prompt is fitting for how far all of you have come over these almost 30 days. Today I'd like you Draw a pony reaching the end of their journey / Draw a pony meeting their end.
You can find our submitter here.
New Makeup Day submitter is here.
Good luck everyone!

6 Spirit Life tries to resist the urge - Horceye
Apparently, Spirit Life has a soft spot for sweet food, but she must resist, she really wants to lose some weight. It really takes some nerves to resist your favourite food when you are on a diet.

10 ATG Day 27: Swept off her hooves - Linzi Howard/ Creative Blossom
Will be later replaced with the digital version. Dick certainly gained his goal of sweeping Harmony off her hooves ;P Dick's pony design based on the Batman Forever Robin (Chris O'Donnell)

I misunderstood the prompt and had to start over.
BTW, I couldn't think up anything for yesterday. Hope I can makeup.

29 ATG - Dragonshy 3: Shy Hard With A Vengence - PixelGrip94
Dragons should've learned by now not to buck with Fluttershy or her friends.
Thought it'd be a fun idea to do the opposite of my Day 16 prompt (seen here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkGx8zyVAAA6gIo?format=jpg). Also decided to make another pun title based on the action film franchise that I have yet to see any of the sequels of. Go me.

30 2018 ATG VIII - Day 27 - Nerves - KirbyLiscious
"Discord, he's finally doing it! And he looks so calm, too! He... actually, he looks kinda stiff from here. Almost like.... you turned his nerves into real steel, didn't you."
"Whaaaaaat, why would I do a thing like thaaaaat~"
"Really?"

31 Ocellus Graduating From Friendship School - Starlight Flux
As it's been a while since I did a full colour drawing in the ATG, I thought I'll do a simpler sketch of Ocellus graduating from Friendship School so I could colour and ink it.

I tried to tie both prompts on one image. Did it work? Probably not. ANYWAY here is my submission for the day.

Cadance has had enough of these villains trying to overtake Equestria. She's got a toddler at home, she doesn't have time for this nonsense!

40 Patch, the clown - Minty Treble
Patch, from MLP Tales!!! She wanted to be a clown, and was simply the bravest, so adventurous...!! a bit irresponsible, but a good example nevertheless, being able to laugh at yourself, to stay true to your dreams despite criticism... that requires big, heavy steel ovaries.

45 ATG VIII Day XXVII - RizDub
Twilight would certainly need nerves of steel to stand up to Celestia.
So why is Twilight so upset? Who knows. Maybe she's starting to wonder if Celestia has been playing Twilight like a chess piece. Maybe she's worried about mental trauma from the massive amount of troubling experiences she's had (Discord, Chrysalis, Starlight Glimmer...). Maybe she realized Celestia was the one who always ate the last cookie to prevent Twilight from sneaking snacks during school hours. Your guess is as good as mine.

51 Rainbow Dash: Explorer - Benjamin Eric Berlin
I started this using my favored medium of pencil and colored pencil, but after coloring, I just felt it didn't quite have the effect I was looking for, so I turned once again to Paint 3-D on our home computer, based upon several chapters in the epic saga Austraeoh by Imploding Colon, Rainbow Dash is flying towards some mountains that are many hundreds of miles (guesstimate) outside of Equestria and all but dwarf the Canterlothian mountains. These chapters were not so much told as shown using incredibly detailed imagery, and I hope that I was able to capture even the smallest fraction of that in my second attempt at a digital painting.

61 Learning Some Hard Lessons - phallen1
Maya was trying to open her parachute with her brand-new unicorn magic. Her A.A.D. opening her reserve parachute for her was a signal that she'd run out of time. But landing safely is always the first goal, and you have to admire her not having a breakdown here...

Following up on the previous submission. "Well, next jump I'm definitely doing it right!" "Maybe when we find someone who can repack your reserve, we'll also find a unicorn coach who can teach you *properly*."
