When you're able to gather your courage and prepare yourself for whatever showdowns you have in your life there is nothing that can keep you down. Even if it ends in failure you can at least say you gave it your all and faced your fears and hopefully that can give you the determination to move forward and keep going! Press on, pony artists, we are halfway through the NATG now, you can make it to the end!
For today we managed to pull in 65 ponies which now brings us up to 1122 ponies in total! Nicely done everyone.
As we move into our 15th day of the NATG, it's time for a prompt that was originally created by Phoe when the NATG was young and is a tradition I keep going to this day. Ponies have been, since the beginning, crossed over with pretty much all media that is out there. While the phenomenon isn't as prevalent today as it was in the past it is still a tradition to 'ponify' things out there in the world so that's why today's prompt is to Draw a ponyfied version of your favorite book, game, ect / Draw a pony crossing over.
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 4096x4096! If your image is larger than that, the submitter will resize it to that max resolution.
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.

6 Chryssie Thoughts - Termyotter
There's a lot of mental preparation to a conflict especially if its one you may have started. The villain has to figure out how best to undermine the hero with their words. They also have to mentally contend with what may be multiple losses in the past...

Among the trillions of ponies in the galaxy, it is easy for even those well-travelled to mistakenly believe that all ponies were capable of anything but empathy, understanding, and friendship.

16 The Vengeance Overture - EveryDayDashie
"The string originated from a legendary fiddler in our town who's been playing for over 20 years. From town performances to competitions of all kinds, he would always be the one that showed up to everything, even those that didn't seem to attract a large audience at all. With his virtuosic yet swiftly executed violin skills, ponies were amazed by how much talent and potential this stallion could have. But his journey was not easy at all, much like climbing a steep mountain. He often faced a lack of validation, harsh criticisms, loss of motivation, and many more. He used to believe that he could win everypony's heart with his gifted musical prowess, but despite his legacy, the fiddler's wildest musical dream was still hindered by the inevitable traumas of being unappreciated and unnoticed. And so, he gave up the fiddle, despite that astonishing 20 years of hard work, and faced the wretched fate of resigning from the music scene..."

42 Sometime Before The Empire's Fall - Lili Dash!
"Your Highness, Celestia's troops have entered the empire. There are too many of them for us! It might be wise for us to surrender." "Get out of my sight! Everything is under control! And I shall surrender to no one." Not my best piece, mainly because the background stuff was so difficult to draw. It was still fun to draw Sombra's office, though.

47 Fluttershy Finds Her Courage - Ebony Crystal
Nightmare Night had rolled around once again, and as usual, Fluttershy was terrified. Having gotten all of her usual bunker supplies, even having remembered Angel Bunny's carrots this time, she had prepared to have a quiet night by herself. Of course, a certain draconequus wasn't having it. As soon as he appeared in her room, he ended up catching her off guard by appearing next to her under her bed. Clearly concerned for his best friend, they ended up having a bit of a chat, understanding her fears, but thanks to some clever convincing, he managed to slowly get her out from under her bed, reminding her of the fun she had with her friends the previous year. Taking several breaths to calm herself down, and with some encouragement from Discord that he'd take care of all of her animal friends while she was out, she soon headed out the door to head to Rarity's to get a last minute costume to join Pinkie's party.
