• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XI: Makeup Day 3

     

    My Little Pony Newbie Artist Training Grounds Author Calpain

    At the end of a journey, it is a good time to reflect on the path you've taken to get where you are today. Did you accomplish all you set out to do? How much have you learned? And, most importantly, did you have fun along the way?

    Well gang, it has been a long road and it's time to start wrapping things up! Tonight is Makeup Day 3 so if you have some prompts you want to catch up on or take a well-deserved break, now is the time to do so! Tomorrow is the final big prompt; time to go out with bang!

    For tonight we brought in 59 ponies which brings us up to 2373 ponies in total. Nice work!

    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!

    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!

    30 Past Reflections - Allonsbro

    Art image 30
    The prompt made me think of that universal human phenomenon when our brain decides that we deserve to suffer and replays the horrible remembrance of our most awkward moments.






    32 A New Break of Day - Termyotter

    Art image 32
    I don't know how many prompts I hit, enough to justify this being on topic I think. Wrapping up the vacation of Argent and Pinea that I've used in several other entries. A bit more info on the DA page.



    33 Five Years On - SOENJAY

    Art image 33

    40 Reflection on a great memory - Note Wise

    Art image 40
    The journey is almost over. Drawing a pony reflecting on the past like I sometimes like to. Back in 2016, I was honored enough to play my music live for the first time and at my first ever con and felt so special and a night I'll never forget and I'll always be grateful! Been having fun with this NATG, and while I wish I could've colored more, I'm glad at least I was able to do environment designs and such. I hope you liked them also.

    47 Reflexion - Frith

    Art image 47
    Unless they encounter a seriously _magic_ mirror, a pony can only reflect on the past as, the speed of light is finite. The further the mirror, the further back in time a pony will look. Thus we reflect, and still we repeat the past.



    48 Day 6 and 7 - GymbalLock

    Art image 48
    Day 6: draw a pony in over his head Day 7: draw a pony in love

    52 NATG 29 | Through Dangers Untold Sketch - Will-Owl-the-Wisp

    Art image 52
    A little self-indulgence to round out the last of the complicated NATG drawings. There are only a few prompts I couldn't work in, but there is an orb for all 33 prompts/make-up days.

    58 A Fleeting Reminiscence - magnusmagnum

    Art image 58
    From an introvert unicorn to ruler of Equestria, she had came far. Unfortunately, she doesn't govern time and time is an unforgiving mistress. There are moments in time where she wants to go back and do this all over again. The adventures until now is but a fleeting moment compared to the time yet to come. It is a tough road to trot but she wouldn't trade it for anything else... After all, friendship isn't always easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for!
