Sometimes it takes some drastic actions to break out of the situation you find yourself in. We can find ourselves getting to used to the routines we've placed ourselves in and the answers don't readily become apparent but if we really try we can manage to make a change for the better. It's why I've been doing some self-improvement myself during the pandemic as I may not have another time in my life where I have, well, the time to do so otherwise. Might as well come out of this trying time saying you've done something with the time you've been given during lockdown, right?
Anyhow, enough philosophy for tonight as we have 87 ponies to celebrate as we enter into the last third of the NATG! This brings us up to 2705 ponies now so keep up the good work everyone!
With 20 prompts done you know what that means: Makeup Day! Time to kick back and relax, get some drawings done you were meaning to finish or maybe even take a crack at one of the prompts again for fun. The day is yours to make what you will of it!
As always you can find the submitter here.
For our mobile friends trying to upload, try this:
Once you have the image uploaded to Twitter, DeviantArt, wherever try this Touch and hold the image. Depending on what browser you’re using, select the image URL by tapping the links below: Chrome: Copy link address Safari: Copy
Use that URL in the compiler for your image. Hopefully that works!
Max Image Resolution is 2000x2000! Resize your pictures to make sure they are the appropriate size, any image software should be able to help you.
Animations do not animate when sent through the compiler! Include some text with your submitted animation that people should follow your links to the source to see the animation in full.
Remember, our compiler for the old prompt is up a few hours even after this post goes up with the new prompt so feel free to submit your submission to the previous day's 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!

5 Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds 2020 20a - Meto30
As with my response for prompt 10, my response for prompt 20, "Pony breaking out", is a larger-than-normal submission. My own reading of the prompt is "Pony/Person breaking out of character".
6 Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds 2020 20b - Meto30
As with my response for prompt 10, my response for prompt 20, "Pony breaking out", is a larger-than-normal submission. My own reading of the prompt is "Pony/Person breaking out of character". That person is Principal Celestia, who here reveals her semi-secret identity as a motorcyclist. She is riding a 1964 Harley-Davidson Duo-Glide superbike, customised with "ape-hanger" tall handlebars.

That person is Principal Celestia, who here reveals her semi-secret identity as a motorcyclist. Her riding jacket is covered with patches, as is fitting for a biker. Celestia challenges Sunset to a race. (and thus I set myself up for depicting a race between Sunset and Principal Celestia. Why do I do this to myself?
13 2020 ATG X - Day 20 - Getaway - KirbyLiscious
Hope everyone is still going strong - We're two-thirds of the way there, isn't that crazy?? You can do this, ya'll!! :D <333 span="">
14 [SFM] Cozy escaping the prison (NATG 20) - red4567
Remember this flash game? It's getting a remake later in 2020.
19 The Grand Escape - flutterkind
Run, Screw Loose! Freedom awaits.

25 How does this ropetrick work again? - Ragmo
Don't worry, that's what practise is for :) Even the great and powerfull Trixie might have had 1 or 2 of those situations :P
27 Breaking Out - NotADeliciousPotato
Huracata (aka my OC) bursts out of the laptop screen of a drawing that once contained her.
Well, while the artist has to redo the drawing of her, at least they have a real-life reference of her now.

29 Stelf - NATG - Sprite
Seems that poor Trixie is stuck in a bind. She has the loot she needs to get out, but the guards just won't leave her alone... The true PAYDAY 2 Stealth experience.
Didn't want to properly line or color this one because the heat was sapping my energy and focus. Not a bad piece, just victim of heat sapping.

35 Maple Deck - Lorewolf
I think of MLP timber wolves as enchantments rather than creatures. Someone long ago cast them to protect or respond to some kind of magic, but not many Ponies remember what or why anymore.
36 The Great and Powerfull escape - Wolfy
Trixie just after performing her Moonshot Manticore Mouth Dive.
Good for her to have such a Great & Powerfull assistant whitch is also her Greatest and most powerfull friend!

40 - Deletethis
I did the last one out of order since I did it after the post went up for the new prompt. Woops
41 You can't hold back Filly Rainbow Dash - Daimando
Like the title said. You can't hold back Filly Rainbow Dash.
For this drawing, I decided to once again break my own rules and draw out Filly Rainbow Dash. Only that I also decided to draw her breaking out of a brick wall. I also decided to exaggerate it not just by the bricks that are flying out, but also by the fact that she broke a couple of em. You can see one brick having been severed in half from the wall, while Rainbow's fist busted up another brick. At that age, she could dive down a Hydra's throat and knit its intestines into a thousand sweaters.

44 It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Dustbowl - dzamie
...sentries everywhere! We are trapped inside our spawn; we have Uber so move on, but there are lots of Snipers so beware!
T-pose to assert dominance. Gratz to anyone who knows what Luna's line is from.

52 Breakout Performance - Tigerett
First he broke out of his shell, and now he's breaking onto the stage!
57 Escape ARTIST Pinkie - Termyotter
Had to use Pinkie for this.
Going for literal escape ARTIST, offering a short escape for artists and some encouragement for the others doing this challenge to escape into their art.
So, she's breaking the fourth wall talking to the artists, giving them an option to break a second fourth wall and take a walk around their creations.

NATG2020 Day 20: today's prompt was to draw a pony breaking out so here is a Fluttershy just trying to break out of a box XD
61 The Saddleshank Redemption - Faith?
Twilight came to Saddleshank Prison in late 2012 for murderin' King Sombra and the Empire he was controllin'.
62 Introvert Party Time - SOENJAY
There ain't no party like an introvert party, 'cause an introvert party don't start.
And if that isn't an "escape artist" I don't know what is.
Based on Psychostick's song "Introvert Party Time"

69 Smol Houdini - Pone-Dancer
Rainbowtashie and Spicy Cider have the two cutest foals ever! Of course, when they want some time to relax or to themselves they use a playpen to keep the kiddos in and safe. Somehow their daughter Azure Spice has been able to escape the pen! This time they were able to catch her in the act. While they are impressed with their mischievous daughter's abilities, they make the mental note to add a lid to the playpen next time.
Azure's brother, Cinnamon Spectrum, is triggered. He wants to get out too!

75 Trixie's Ballistic Water Escape - EbonyCrystal1986
Trixie had been practicing this new trick for WEEKS on end to get it ready for her next big magic show. She was inspired by her hero, Hoofdini to combine several of his tricks into one new one, dubbed the Ballistic Water Escape where she'd be trapped in a straight jacket and a rope all while being locked in a tank filled with water and an inhibitor ring on her horn so she wouldn't be able to use her magic, and a literal ticking time bomb thanks to her cannon that could shatter the glass upon impact. She knew that one false move and she was a goner, but she knew her assistant was on standby backstage just in case something went wrong. The crowd gasped in awe as they watched from the sidelines. Would Trixie manage to escape her trick, or would this be her last show?
77 Breaking out some MOVES! - Skypause

83 Favorite Escape Artist - Novaintellus
Behold as my sexy assistant frees herself from her bindings!
84 Breaking Out - Frith
Dash is breaking out... of Dash! And dashing off. Since Pony Life derives from FiM, well, Dash is a product of Dash. A somewhat alien product. So, for "a pony breaking out" (of what? another pony!) I naturally thought of a chestburster. And here we are.
