• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XII: Day 11

    Artist: Sigmath-Bits

    The days off always go by so fast, don't they? Almost as fast as Rainbow Dash it seems. I hope you all managed to either rest or get yourself caught up on the prompts thus far for the NATG, everyone! It looks like we had quite a few submissions for today so I'm really proud of you all for sticking with it. Keep up the great work!

    For today we managed to pull in 79 ponies which now brings us up to 902 ponies in total! Almost to that 1k mark!

    For today, considering that the NATG takes place in summer and this summer has felt particularly hot, I wanted to give you all a chance to vent your frustration at the heat or at least vicariously live in the cool with our ponies today. That's why for today's prompt I'd like you to Draw a pony burning up / Draw a pony beating the heat.

    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, or 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!

    Attention Discord Users:

    I thought up this piece after last year's NATG when I learned last year was Sonic's 30th Anniversary and wanted the ponies to congratulate him on his milestone. I felt it was deserved after having been around for pretty much all of Sonic's franchise since his very first game.

    Art image 62
    Well I may be a day late(thanks to my mental health tanking severely yesterday afternoon), but at least I was able to make up Day 10's prompt, which was to draw a pony full of pride or draw a pony going above and beyond, and I can't think of a better pony worthy of this title than the Element of Loyalty herself, Rainbow Dash ^ ^ Had a bit more fun with Ibis Paint X's selection of brushes on this one. Something tells me they'll come in handy in the future... :3
