Finding your inner peace when there is chaos all around can be quite a difficult task. With the way things in the world seem to be going with mass media, social media and life in general blasting us all the time with things to cloud our thoughts it can be hard to find the harmony many of us take for granted. The same can truly be said for art, it takes a certain mindset, a determination that needs focus without outside interruption once you get into the zone. Finding your own path to harmony in chaos not only will help your craft but I am sure will make your life just a little bit easier as well.
Now, to get down to business, for today we managed to pull in 80 ponies which now brings us up to 425 ponies in total. Nicely done everyone!
So, while yesterday's prompt was more about peace and harmony, today's going to be one where you can take your practice at getting ponies moving and putting them to some practical use, or if action isn't your cup of tea, maybe something emotional to practice your expressions and mood for a scene. And to do that, I would like you to Draw a pony playing a sport / Draw a pony experiencing the bliss of triumph or the agony of defeat.

20 A Crown?! - Mintwhistle
Here I took the latter prompt a bit literally - Auri Spectre somehow finds the Big Crown Thingy amidst a sea of chaos! What happens next? (The cat is from a drawing I had done some time ago, while the sky was inspired by the background used for the 2020 BFB animator auditions.)

22 Called by the Serenade - EveryDayDashie
As my attention gradually got driven by the glitter on the ground, I was showered with curiosity and ready to march out of the ballroom door. During that moment, I couldn't help thinking about every possible thing regarding the suspicious trail of glitter. Who did that and why would they drop this much glitter? Where could it possibly lead us? It probably implies something if it's a combination between silver and aquamarine, but what could it be? A plethora of questions and mysteries left me pondering around the deeper meaning of such sparkly granules, yet it's highly obfuscated, much like an Internet cryptic message that can't be reverse-engineered. I didn't hesitate to stop following the trail and searching for the potential "suspect" in this "top-secret mission", not until I trotted by the sky garden and heard a mesmerizing, angelic singing voice emerging from nowhere.

29 Ebony Meets Treehugger - Ebony Crystal
Ebony was feeling more than a bit stressed out thanks to having piled up too many submissions for her clients, and her usual ways to relax weren't exactly cutting it, so Fluttershy brought her to her animal sanctuary and found her friend Treehugger paying a visit. After introducing Ebony to her, Fluttershy had to take care of some of the other animals, and left the pair to explore on their own, with little Sunshine in tow, of course. The three of them found a nice spot near one of the rivers and just sat to relax for a while, feeling the soft breeze of the wind, the grass under their hooves and hearing the frogs croaking nearby was just the thing Ebony needed to relax and unwind. She knew she would be doing this more often and now she had a new friend to share it with~!

Harmony in music is supposed to be something that it's pleasant to the pony (human) ear For people to give an idea how the mega-mashups I like sound like: https://youtu.be/4O00vjNG2fo

Actual title of this picture: I have no idea what I'm doing anymore but it somehow works. This will remain a sketch this time. I am not faltering, but after last night and a night not sleeping in my bed, I am way too tired to color a picture and I need to get into bed quickly tonight. Prompt of Day 5: Draw a pony enjoying nature / Draw a pony finding harmony in chaos.

Not many ground-bound ponies get to nap on top of a cloud. Maybe he'll wake up before he sinks all the way through it.

this pose wasn't easy and it also looks confusing without all the layers visible at once. kinda like those feelings after an exam and I don't care if I did bad or not

This place on the Town were surrounded by the Trees in Heartlands, Equestria. Reason why this Town was surrounded by Natures, because it helps for breathable, cleaner, environment, protect from heat or glare, even better for wildlife. This is why These ponies is enjoying their nature in town.

This counts as enjoying nature. I'm actually pretty proud of the background for this. It was also nice to try and draw Sombra from the back.

78 Winter is Wonderful, Darling - Khazard
There was a time way way back when a winter storm froze all the trees by my house. They were weighed down enough that they formed this almost perfect ice canopy over the road. Pulled from that essence to make a nice winter setting that I feel Rarity would enjoy
