Newbie Artist Training Grounds IX: Day 15

Love is a great thing, it can bring others together and provide a deeper understanding. Though a bit too much self love can be a bad thing so make sure not to fall in love with your own reflection. Speaking of love, I can certainly see your love in the comments you leave for your pictures, the care you guys put into each one and the observations you make on how you can improve. It's a love for the craft I myself love to see in you guys and hope that you all continue!

As for today's prompt we managed to get another 85 ponies which brings our total up to 1696 ponies in total.

Now to mark the halfway point I'm bringing a classic that Phoe introduced very early on in the NATG back for another year! For tonight I'd like you all to Draw a ponyfied version of your favorite book, game, ect / Draw a pony crossing over.

As always you can find the submitter here. 

Remember, our compiler is up a few hours even after this post goes up so feel free to submit your submission to our submitter!

Also, if you are late submitting and the submitter is closed, don't just throw your pic into the next day's submitter. Wait for a Makeup Day to submit!

Attention Discord Users:

For those of you with Discord we are really pulling out all the stops this year as we have a channel on EqD's official Discord server called #artist-training-ground for you to hang out in with your fellow artists during the event. You can join our Discord server here.

Check on after the break for today's gallery!

Magic of Friendship Music: dBPony - Risk [Pop Rock] / Crusader! & Agatan - This is Our Song [Acoustic]

Two new releases in the rock side of the pony music scene, and they are both chanting an ode about the magic of Friendship that came from the show and into our lives! First up, dBPony is making his comeback with a track full of incredible vocals and even featuring an awesome keyboards solo, with the message of "Your friends will make you strong"! Then Crusader and Agatan are singing about their feelings for the community and how it is not the end but rather a new beginning (this is starting to become a trend, and it's good!) in a lovely Acoustic song.

I wonder who Rarity is fawning over in that picture of hers? A new flame of the week or something deeper?

These Giant My Little Pony Statues from Hong Kong

 In true "We can do it better" Asian country fashion, Hong Kong hasapparently taken the concept of pony figures, made them way cuter, and supersized them. These were all spotted over there at an event a few months ago, as photographed by the HK Bronies Club. I doubt we will start seeing them flood stores or anything, but they exist and that Rainbow Dash is adorable.

Get a bunch of other ponies and pictures below!

The Stranger Things My Little Pony Scene

Technically this is oldschool pony and doesn't really reference G4 at all, but a lot of people are pretty hyped so up it goes! Following the release of the upside down Applejack, Stranger Things recently went on a giant tangent about the old My Little Pony Movie from the 80's. Complete with one of the boys knowing everything about it. Brony plug? Possibly. It's on twitter anyway if you are curious.

It's still in early beta and still has many cards to add, but for now it's making some awesome progress.
