    Time sure does seem to fly in the pony universe and sometimes it flies so fast that certain ponies seem to circle back again from other time periods if not different generations of pony altogether! I really hope we haven't messed up the timeline too bad or put too many ponies in danger in space.

    For tonight we pulled in 69 ponies which now brings us up to 1042 ponies in total! We finally made it past the 1k mark! Congrats everyone!

    Now today's prompt was one suggested by some of the participants. I have mentioned that it gets harder and harder to find prompts with each passing year so some participants suggested we have a prompt related to that, a sort of meta one if you will and to sort of see things from a different perspective. That's why for today I'd like you to try a hand at Drawing a pony trying to come up with a prompt / Draw a pony scraping the bottom of the barrel. 

    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:
    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.

    Check on after the break for today's gallery!

    When you go back this far in time the culture shock must be horrible. I can imagine it would be like when Luna came back from the Moon after 1000 years.

    Evening everyone! Hope you're doing well. I'm at TrotCon this weekend, but hopefully, I'm able to report even from there with my trusty laptop. If not, assume the convention has devoured me and send help.

  • Discussion: How Different Would G4 Have Been in Earth Ponies Had G5 Style Magic?

    The last few episodes of Tell Your Tale have really shown us what this new earth pony magic can actually do. We've had pollen plagues and rampant growth so far as they adjust to their newfound abilities. They even trigger in water appareently, where kelp becomes controllable.


    How do you think G4 would have been different if this concept existed over there? For the most part, earth ponies were questionably stronger (though Rainbow Dash seemed to prove that she could keep up fine with Applejack in season 1), but outside of that it seemed like pegasus and unicorns always had an advantage at just about everything, with unicorns being the clear victors in the power battle. Would earth ponies having plant magic be the tipping point to give them the edge back then?

  • Fanfiction (Scouted): The Potion Shop

    [Comedy]

    Author:Ashfur


    Description: In the small town of Rainbow Falls, amid the constant hustle and bustle of the trade exchanges and Equestria games tryouts, a little alchemy shop goes relatively unnoticed by tourists.
    The townsponies know better, though. The shop's proprietor has magical power to rival the best in history, and has on more than one occasion gone off to hunt monsters alone for ingredients.
    It's a pity that in the crazy world of Equestria, all he wants to do is run his shop.
