Well everyone, here we finally are: Day 30! It has been a long yet somehow quick month. I'm sure you all are feeling tired but I hope at the same time you're feeling a sense of pride and accomplishment. You've all come such a long way and I have been blown away by your dedication and your creativity. While this may be the end of the NATG take what you've learned here, spread your wings and keep on this journey you've set yourselves on.
As with every NATG you probably already know what to expect from the prompt for tonight: Draw a pony graduating / Draw a pony moving towards a bright future.
Today's submitter is open for an extra day in light of the holiday! Don't feel rushed if you're not available this July 4th, you've got time!
For tonight we brought in 62 ponies which brings us up to 2435 ponies in total!
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!
Use that URL in the compiler for your image. Hopefully that works!
If that doesn't work, you can Touch and Hold an image, open it in a new tab and the URL of that tab should be what you're looking for.
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!

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.

30 Down the memory lane - foxwhee
Thank you all guys for the magnificent event and a freaking lot of awesome pictures, and thanks EQD for hosting it. I joined this ATG and it was my second - and my first one took place in 2016 I think? And it was the event that brought me to doing digital art on regular (more or less) basis and basically was the beginning of my art journey - so ATGs will always have a special place in my heart.

33 ATG 2021: Flying Under the Influence. - Spellbound Canvas
Drawing Prompt 14: Draw a pony up to no good / Draw a pony breaking every rule in the book Rainbow Dash after having a girl's night out with the rest of the mane 6, she decided to try and get home herself. She flew atleast two miles before crashing through an apartment window. She assaulted the tennant and screamed at a crying foal repeatedly. When police arrived, She had trashed the place. At first she resisted arrest, but eventually the booze took its toll and she was eventually out like a light.

34 ATG 2021: Rainbow Dash a Jail Bird - Matthew D Hinkle
After waking up in the drunk tank following last night's incident, Rainbow Dash was ready to go home thinking that she'd be released as usual. Instead she was slapped back into hoof cuffs and was properly booked into jail. She was not getting off easily this time, no. This time she would have to endure the consequences of her actions. She was charged with FUI (Flying under the Influence), Assault, Trespassing, breaking and entering, Vandalism, and Filly Abuse. She is being held at the Equestrian Detention center without bond, awaiting trial.
