Have a fashion based prompt, get a bunch of fashion horses. Makes perfectly logical sense to me! While today may not have been the most exciting of prompts, many of you took on the task and tried your hand at improving your skills when it comes to clothing and I feel you all did a wonderful job. We certainly have a ton of fashionable (and tasty) ponies in the gallery for you lot today.
For today we managed to bring in a total of 111 ponies bringing us up to 2498 ponies altogether! Keep up the good work everyone, 3000 is quickly approaching!
For today's prompt we're going back to the dingy and dark so we can play with emotions a little bit and maybe practice some lighting depending on how you all interpret the prompt (and there are many interpretations). Sure, we've had our ponies in peril, but have they faced their greatest fears or up during the depths of night when strange things might happen? That's why today I'd like you all to take a crack at trying to Draw a pony facing their darkest fear / Draw a pony during the witching hour.
As always you can find our submitter here!
We also have a new Makeup Day submitter!
Good luck everyone!

This is a continuation of the same theme from prompt 14, where I'm still discussing my D&D campaigns with Spike. I do hope I'll be able to get out of the conversation soon - not that I don't enjoy talking with him, but the topic of my D&D campaigns is really an endless cavern of material to cover, and I don't want to be stuck doing only this until the very end of the ATG!

21 ATG 15 - Rara Punk - PixelGrip94
Yeah, can think of fashionable without thinking of Rarity. But decided to go with Punk Rarity instead of normal because I don't think I've ever drawn her this way before and she just owns this look.

22 Royal Fashion - banterlot
We need more Twilight doing princess things. Like negotiating a treaty with the Dragonlands or something. Exhilarating!
I also managed to forget Twilight's wings till I had already finished doing the lineart in ink. Yay.

24 New clothes - Ragmo
I didn't want to make a dress... so... this was the outcome...
I'm not good with fashion... it's the best i was able to come up, aside from a dress
Yes i'm fine with it... but... y'know?

One must agree that though her taste in mares was great, sacrifices had to be made.

33 Alicorn Tempest - Erika Williams
Still need work on drawing clothes on ponies. Especially metal armor. But I mainly just used this as an excuse to draw Alicorn Tempest. If we can have Alicorn Pinkie Pie, I don't see why we can't have Alicorn Tempest.

In a city where multiple incarnations of the same character can exist side-by side, competition is frequent. More often its simpler for such characters to team up with their fellow incarnations.
Crossover Grand Boutique is one such establishment.

52 Rainbow Dash in Her Worderbolts Costume - Starlight Flux
I couldn't really think of much when it came to Equestria Daily's current Artist Training Grounds prompt. So I decided to draw Rainbow Dash doing a Sonic Rainboom, mostly because I haven't drawn her in this years ATG.

I didn't realize Hinny of the Hills was NOT a Sound of Music reference until after I drew this. Anyway, here's Spike in a maid dress.

62 Pegasus Witch - Redenaz
I'm not sure I was ever sure where this piece was going, right up until the end. Not my best, but I don't dislike it, either. One of the great things about the Training Grounds event is that I can't spend too long debating a piece—Whatever happens, happens, and it's on to the next day, so I get a lot done overall.

64 Fashion - Frith
This exercise called for fashion, so David Bowie has been singing in my ear all day. I figured that Zesty Gourmand would make a good template for Bowie, so I tried. I was going to give up and look for somepony else to draw, but it kinda looks like Bowie, so what the hay.

68 Pixel - ToisaNeMoif
darn I really think I really missed the prompt. I used acrylics for this painting, but I have these heavy body paints called Galleria. They're very thick, so it's easy to paint over things and give your paint a texture, but they dry just way too quickly compared to other brands. It just makes it a bit too difficult to blend and develop certain places.
I'll be honest. It looks amazing as a thumbnail, but this painting definitely needs a lot of work. Back to the digitals. I'm pretty satisfied with what I've done so far

73 Early sketches for Lackapony - Benjamin Eric Berlin
A selection of some of my earlier sketches before working on my big project Lackapony which is a cross between MLP and the comic Lackadaisy by Tracy J. Butler (but seriously if you're not familiar go check her work out). Starting out we have Rarity styled like the Lackadaisy character Mitzi May a widow of a well-to-do restauranteur and businessman who did a little side business by operating the Lackadaisy Speakeasy.
Next, we have Fluttershy styled like former army nurse and part owner of a local morgue. Finally, we have Granny Smith and Mrs. Harshwhinney as two of the older females in the comic, Mrs. Bapka an 80-something acquaintance of the Lackadaisy crew and Nina McMurray, aunt of one of the Lackadaisy musicians/rum runners/ in her opinion nuisances and mother to a recent acquisition of the Lackadaisy crew.

My large sketch showing four of the mane 6 styling 1920's dresses, hats, and ornamentation. The background was inspired by the Art Deco movement that was so popular during the 1920's. Done all in plain pencil.

107 Precious Jade, Jewelry Collector - phallen1
The Daringverse version of Rarity. Precious Jade, Daring Do's sometimes-friend, sometimes-foil. A jewelry collector of questionable morality - the kind who will personally "collect" jewels out of private collections and ancient tombs. She also has impeccable taste. Shown here with the Jade Draconequus, which is totally cursed, like you wouldn't believe.

Rarity was gonna be the obvious choice, but goddamn I won't lie when I say that I practically grew up on G3. I wouldn't mind seeing G3 Rainbow Dash returning.

109 Missing Connection - B.J. Dazzle
As Derpy reprimands her FASHIONABLE daughter for shirking her responsibilities, Sparkler seems to be under the impression that Derpy wouldn't understand her interests and desires, though perhaps the mailmare has better TASTE than her daughter thinks...
Sorry this one is so late and bad; I didn't have a lot of time to work on it today.
