• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XII: Day 24

     

    My Little Pony Newbie Artist Training Grounds Author Calpain
    Artist: Lore

    Some ponies just like to watch the world burn.

    In our world of little ponies, not everything can be sunshine and while drawing the cute and innocent can be fun it's nice to branch out a little, explore the motives of ponies and creatures that might not have the best of hearts. To grow as an artist it's important to explore all sorts of scenarios and different characters and sometimes you'll find you have fun doing it too!

    For today's haul we managed to bring in 48 ponies which now brings us up to 1764 ponies in total! Nicely done once more my friends!

    One of the overarching themes of FiM has always been about forgiveness and trying to make things right when you have done wrong. In some cases this has led to what we think are too many reformed villains in the show, but we can't deny it is an important lesson to learn not only for children but for adults as well. Since we just had our nefarious ponies causing trouble I figured a good counter prompt to the one we had would be to have you Draw a pony facing a mistake from their past / Draw a pony trying to make things right.

    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!

    4 Duality - EveryDayDashie

    Art image 4
    Rainbow looks friendly and cute on the outside, but could look evil and wicked on the inside... is it because of Pinkie's pies last time? The prompt for today is to draw a pony up to no good or with twisted thoughts. At first glance I didn't really have a solid idea for what to draw, but then I realized that the drawing doesn't have to be completely evil and bad, so I chose duality as the theme for this piece of artwork. As the name suggests, duality refers to a state of having two completely different and opposite things. I decided to use juxtaposition once again in this drawing, which fits perfectly in the theme of duality. This drawing took me around 3 hours to finish and I'm happy with how it turns out!

    8 Mischievous Tricks - Tarkan809

    Art image 8
    Spike can be sometimes be mischievous for the fun of it… Even when they’re aren’t funny. But at least it’s not really that often. However for Weston on the other hand he’s not really a mischievous one but rather a “good-feather”… But he wouldn’t mind joining with Spike for the fun of it… Then again Weston doesn’t know what’s funny or wasn’t, although he can get a little impatient when waiting for someone to fall for it. Other than that there’s no problems with being a little mischievous when it comes to a little trick…

    23 For Jagged Pill Reasons - Lore / Docard

    Art image 23
    Some ponies just want to watch the world burn. Jagged Pill is an accidental OC of mine from when I tried to draw an expression on Apple Jack, but she looked psychotic, and so I gave her a crazy manestyle and a knife.

    31 "Target Acquired . . . Now What?" - EmeraldPencil

    Art image 31
    I wonder how this filly is going to get up to those cookies? Hopefully he can't, that would spoil his appetite! I decided to go for a different character than Emerald Pencil, because I don't think he would be that devious. I don't know how to do manes very well, so I went for a crew cut on this little guy's design. As always, constructive criticism is encouraged and appreciated! And stay out of trouble! :)
    32 The Formula To No Magic. - BlueSkies

    Art image 32
    As an Earth Pony, The Doctor really felt jealous about the magic around him. He may have a formula to give himself wings but he still can't fly. So he became evil and has only one goal, to exterminate magic so that Science can prevail.
    34 The Sequin Switcharoo - Ebony Crystal

    Art image 34
    Looks like RD's up to her old tricks again, this time poor Rarity becoming the victim. The unicorn was in the zone, working on a very special dress order, when she didn't notice the pegasus swapping her bottle of sequins with a bottle of black ink. Next thing she knew ink was EVERYWHERE, all over the table, sewing machine and worst of all, all over the dress. Needless to say she was fuming when she heard Rainbow bursting with laughter once it happened. Luckily for her the ink was washable or else she would have gotten into even more trouble than the dress was worth.

    47 Day 23: Her Desire to Obtain Power - TaichiKeaton

    Art image 47
    Cozy Glow was satisfied her dabbling in contacting the Demon Lords of Tartarus worked, however the Demon Lords were reluctant to cooperate with the filly. Her desire for power did get their attention, but being only a filly, they did not think she would be ready for such a deal yet. They underestimated how far she would go to get what she wanted, even if she had to do it herself to obtain it.
