So many different critters of all shapes and sizes! While we do love our ponies it is important to recognize we have many other species in Equestria as well, not only that it is good to stretch our artistic capabilities beyond just ponies and see if we can use what we have learned to try and draw different body shapes as well! Hopefully, it was an enlightening experience for you guys.
For today we managed to bring in 141 ponies which now brings us up to an impressive total of 1267 ponies altogether. At this pace we'll be hitting 2k in no time my friends!
Now, up to this point things have been rather mundane as you've learned to get your footing: drawing ponies in different positions, drawing emotions, drawing some backgrounds and also getting the chance to draw things over than ponies! So for today's prompt let's take our ponies outside of their safety zone and give them something more dire to deal with as today I'd like you all to Draw a pony staring down their worst fear / Draw a pony hanging on by a thread!

4 Day 8: Confused about Head Feathers - ArkaDarp
getting into this late-ish but doing art every day is gonna help
5 Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds 2020 08 - Meto30
This prompt is something I'd be fulfilling by default, as all my ATG entries so far this year has featured EQG humans. However, I wanted to both reference the ending of ATG2018 and continue my sub-theme of appreciating EQG, so I did the Sirens again. Just like in ATG2018, the Sirens are here depicted as a certain group of vampires who reside in stone pillars.
10 Feather is Best Yak - Stone39
Feather Dancer is always working with new transformations, so her yak is always best. :)
13 Identity Crisis - NotADeliciousPotato
ATG Day 8 — Draw a pony experiencing something unexpected.
Two background ponies have a harrowing realization that they are indeed background ponies.
Imagine meeting someone else that has everything identical to you besides color; the identity crises it would cause!

"Draw pony as another species / Draw a pony experiencing something unexpected"
OK, so let's do both. Also doing this because I've drawn a few minotaurs in the past and there was a good sorta-pun to be had in the title for this.

21 You and me ...Chaos (Celestia as Discord) - Kammy / MonsoonVisionz
Decided to draw Celestia as a draconequus, I love Draconuquus so much, so thought...why not? Hope you like it!
24 - Deletethis
26 2020 NATG day 8 - another species / unexpected - C||R
Mane-iBon (or the Boniac?) surprised by Bug Biceps
27 Kitten Sunset SHimmer - Daimando
I thought a bit on it on how I could make a MLP character as a non-equine. Then I decided to simplify it and draw Sunset Shimmer as a kitten. The inspiration for this was the MGM Short: Bad Luck Blackie, mostly focused on the kitten that was tormented by the big mean bully dog. Maybe I should use that as inspiration for any redesigns of Abigail Albright(Especially around the ears).

37 NATG 2020 - Day 8: Pony as Another Species - tallaferroxiv
WARNING! STAY AWAY FROM VENOMOUS SNAKES! EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!
42 Starry Kirin - Martin AKA MachoPony
So the other day i was gonna draw autumn blaze in addition to the daily prompt but i ran out of time, i still had that in the back of my mind and thought "why not make my favourite pony into a kirin?"
43 Danger!? Jackalope? - NATG - Sprite
I took some artistic freedom on this one and decided that instead of creature-ifying a pony, I would do a crossover swap between MLP's jackalopes and Yu-Gi-Oh!'s Danger!? Jackalope?.
Aside from the eyes, I'm pretty alright with how this turned out, honestly.

48 On The Clouds of Heaven - Skypause
I know there are problems with it but I'm overall REALLY happy with how this turned out. I would not have been able to do this a year ago. I really hope to keep up with the figure drawing class on skill share when the NATG is done. I was really scared to do the fabric but overall I like it. I referenced a renaissance painting of an angel I found online.
53 Abyssinian Brawler - Ragmo
Whatever magic stuff happened - for today my OC is an abyssinian brawler.
Initially the arms where in a different position... but then... came the HANDS... HANDS... STUPID HANDS!!! Let's just hide them behind the body.
Considering this is the 3rd time i did an anthro species, and the 1st time i did something cat-like: I'm quite pleased with what i came up with

54 It's Under P, for Pie! - dzamie
When trying to express oneself, it's always quite absurd
To leaf through lengthy lexicons to find the perfect word.
A little spontaneity keeps conversation keen! And
Allows you to express yourself ex-act-ly as you mean!
Oh, supercalifragilisticexpialidocious...

57 Sneaky Bug - MelodiousMarci
I couldn't really think of any other species to try doing in SFM except changeling, so I made Rainbow Dash into a changeling, no transparent image this time since the wings themselves being translucent would mess up everything, model merging took a lot of the work for this piece, since the changeling models don't usually come with mane/tail options
58 Fluttershy and Discord swap species ! - Zoade
I actually have a Theory about draconequus ;
They're a powerfull being of something ( Discord = Chaos , Cosmos = "Destruction" , Eris = Luck )
So i thought that Fluttershy should be Nature/Kindness.

59 My Little Rodent - Chopsticks
I love small rodents, rats are my favorite animal in the world. I've been itching to draw some but ponies have always taken priority. Not a problem today!
Pinkie Pie - Hamster ... Twilight Sparkle - Harvest Mouse ... Applejack - Kangaroo Rat ... Fluttershy - Field Mouse ... Rainbow Dash - Sugar Glider ... Rarity - Fancy Rat

64 Appleloosan Greeting - ZoneSystem
Even as a deer Braeburn is super happy to welcome anyone to Appleloosa!
65 Mel, Dragon & Sound Technician - Lorewolf
Don't call him by his Dragon name, Melter. He's a technician first and musician second, though he's good at both. He just doesn't want attention.
66 Snapped Awake - MLT
Of course, the biggest problem with using the dream realm is you can all too easy be snapped awake.
72 ED: NATG 2020 Day 8 - Addelum
I focused so much on Dragon Lord Ember's design I gave up on trying to do a background. Plus I made banana bread this weekend and wanted to share the joy of baking.
78 Snailsy and the Snips - Rapidsnap (Gary Mitchelhill)
Neither them are geniuses, so the world is quite safe.
85 - Joyous Tempo
Everyone have a n i c e day!
93 Into the Wind - Cornerback Fluttershy
94 Top 3 Non-Equines - EbonyCrystal1986
Okay, this prompt was really fun to do! Today we could either draw a pony as another species(Draw a MLP species other than equine), or draw a pony experiencing something unexpected, so I decided to, as the title says, to draw my top 3 non-equines. :3 (Reasons as to why they're my favorites are in the description on dA so go to the link, please!)
97 Cutie Mark Chimeras! YAY! - Raincloudboom
How best to earn their cutie marks? By merging together to form one of Equestria's most terrifying and deadly creatures!
101 Seapony Maud - Faith?
Shoo Be Doo...
102 My Little Deer - Frith
I've wanted a My Little Teal Deer as an icon for those tl;dr posts for quite some time, but MLP:FiM is a wee bit short on deer, so I'm trying to make my own. Fluttershy's auction deer are devoid of personality (maybe they were in fact inflatable toys) and the Best Gift Ever caribou are just plain ugly. They have four hind legs! So I've combined Little Strong Heart's legs and body, narrowed slightly, with a cow hair style, the eyelashes on a Gift caribou, Velvet's ears (from Them's Fighting Herds), regular pony eyes, and a real deer nose. And I added stylized antlers, otherwise you'd think I drew a tall bison calf. I don't know if I need a neck or a narrower stance, and maybe that leg looks broken and what about those hooves and that ear isn't straight... I think I'll sit on this a bit and see if I can't fix it later.
104 Happy Hybrids - Pone-Dancer
Today I drew Dawn-n-Night's characters! They have so many amazing designs in their collection 0.o And so many are not equines!!! I love it.
Top row:
Prince Sundown Eclipse is a hippogriff.
Abyss is a Tantataur.
Bottom row:
Harmony is a draconepony.
Chronic Destruction is a draconegoat.

105 Funniest drawing I've made - SOENJAY
Only the second time I've ever drawn Chaos Theory and he's a pickle now. I have no shame for what I have done.
111 Daily Sketch #286: Sand Swim - johnerose126
The joke is that sand can swim, but in reality, sand just sinks because density. Which is another terrible joke for another day. (Kinda hate the "New Simple Water' brush.)
114 Ghosting the Castle - Tigerett
I wound up drawing an oc of mine today! A Phantom Thief that loves the macabre and twisted, Ghost Eye has VERY mixed feelings about Equestria. So many interesting dark magics treasures, but she could do without the friendship lectures from everyone.

121 Batcat - catwell
125 Gilda Griffon - Twilightning Storm
127 Tally Kitty - Taurson
NATG2020 Day8: today's prompt was to draw a pony as a different species so I drew my friend

130 Diamond Dog Days - phallen1
Skye turned into a diamond dog? That's probably unexpected for Windy. I don't think I did a very good job capturing what diamond dogs look like (that's not just another anthro dog) but there aren't many references to go by.
132 Birb time - Stardust/Dafiltafish
gotta run fast and peck at grass
136 NATG Day 8- Pets - Sloppy Steve (8-bitBrony)
Why not see what the Mane 6 would look like when swapped with their faithful friends?
137 Shoo-Be-Duex - Binky T.
I tried drawing Seapony Lyra with a splash (no pun intended) of the newer Seapony designs incorporated into the one the fandom knows and loves. <3 span="">
