• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII: Day 16

     


    You know, to someone in their 30s like me, it's interesting to see Minecraft have a resurgence in recent years. It was popular when pony was just coming out back when I was in college and now it has managed to take off to even greater heights since. Amazing how things shake out, no?

    For today we managed a lovely 65 ponies which now brings us to 1187 ponies in total! Keep it up everyone, we're in the second half!

    Now for our prompt, I thought of having this one right around today as way to help not only expression an emotion you all might not have had practice with, but a way to possibly vent your own exhaustion and frustration as well. The NATG is quite a marathon and is tiring for everyone involved and tensions can get high as the event drags on. That's why for today I'd like you all to Draw a pony being pushed to their limit / Draw a pony about to break.

    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 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.

    Check on after the break for today's gallery!

    25 Pony Eater - Ragmo

    Art image 25
    Manga/anime are close enough to book/movie right? Loved the Soul Eater anime back in the days, even though i wasn't a fan of their ending. Im currently reading the manga... and yeah... its very obvious at what point the anime deviates from the manga... quite a bit. The sad thing, when the anime get ahead of the manga T.T

    For what it's worth, flying does make crossing a river anticlimactic.

    Art image 27
    Pinkie doing her silly ability to break fourth wall and crossing over the show series boundary. And she crosses the show's boundary to say hi to us viewers (Made a rare mistake with marker, in first panel under her right hoof. Sketchbook slipped a little and made me upset after what happened. So, sorry for minor slip up of marker error on this)

    39 You'll Never See It Comin' - Lifes Harbinger

    Art image 39
    Although it may have been a little much for Liberty to do an all-out attack on a single enemy... sometimes you just have to assert your dominance. I also think she just likes to do the pose at the end.

    Looks like Stolas is no longer on Stella's personal hit list. How will Yosh and Lilly get out of this wacky situation?
    43 Hitch and the Forgotten Land - Mintwhistle

    Art image 43
    Here's an idea I've had for quite some time, but never actually got around to drawing until now! Hitch finds himself in a strange new world... where the critters still won't leave him alone. And his badge is missing. Again. (also it took me about 3 hours to make this)
    44 Above The Waves - Lili Dash!

    Art image 44
    Yes, this is a Titanic reference. One of my favorite movies of all time, it's been on my mind due to... recent events. I decided to recreate the famous scene with King Sombra and my ponysona. I did a different method of coloring for this one, as I wanted to evoke the feel of an impressionist painting. Yes, I am fully aware this is cringe. I will try not to do more cringeworthy OC ship art in the future (heh, ship :3).

    48 "Time to Build!" - Emerald Pencil

    Art image 48
    Building time! I wonder what that "J" is a reference too? Drawing ponies in Minecraft form is so much easier than in normal form; it's great! I suppose it could also help to break down ponies into their base parts to help organize a sketch easier. Verse of the Day: Anyone who listens to my [Jesus'] teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won’t collapse because it is built on bedrock. But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn’t obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash" (Matthew 7:24-27 NLT).

    55 Pinkie's Crossover - Ebony Crystal

    Art image 55
    Ebony was visiting the castle library to check out a check out a few books, when she heard Pinkie giggling in a corner. Curious she went to check around, but didn't expect to see her flank staring back at her, through a portal??! She sweatdropped as she facehoofed at her friend. She knew she had her ways, but this?! "Can we go one single minute without weird stuff happening?!!" Ebony blinked as she heard her words repeated at the same time by someone on the other side of the portal....she wondered if she should question Pinkie just this once...
