• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII: Makeup Day 2

     


    You know, I've never gone to a water park before, but considering just how hot it has been lately, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea?

    Today we managed to nab 63 ponies which brings us up to 1493 ponies in total as we pass the 20th prompt. Nice work everyone!

    Now the moment that all of our artists have been waiting for: Our second Makeup Day! For those of you who are caught up with your prompts, feel free to take the day off, and for those who are missing a prompt or two, feel free to get caught up if you'd like. Either way, the day is yours to decide what to do with it! You'll be able to find all of our prompts so far after the 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!

    Art image 12
    A relatively simple piece, featuring Seaflower from G1. She was one of the Sunshine Ponies, who had hair streaks that changed color in the sun. (I was originally going to include Sky Skimmer from G2, but I changed my mind. I'll probably use her in a future prompt, though.)

    16 Lemonpenoade - Termyotter

    Art image 16
    So, the new series has things like mixed/crossed fruits and such. So, how about lemons/jalapenos? What better on a warm day than a glass of spicy lemon juice? I can't take credit for this combination because I saw it in the store and noped my way past it.

    That's one way to cool off, though I pity the food that was in there.

    39 Rainbow and Tank's Ocean Trip - Ebony Crystal

    Art image 39
    Rainbow Dash really wanted to spend time at the beach for her summer vacation, and she also wanted to take Tank with her out in the water, but after learning tortoises couldn't swim, she asked Twilight to rig up a magic scuba tank that would help him float underwater, so she made one to go with his propeller that helped him fly in the air. The day of the trip, the pair enjoyed their time together, Rainbow Dash enjoying the surf, while Tank marveled at the underwater creatures below, the pair having a totally awesome time in the ocean!
    40 Beating the Heat with Fun - Lifes Harbinger

    44 Camping - SOENJAY

    More Rusty and Mustang friend adventures. I like to think that Rusty drags Mustang along on his activities, and in the end Mustang really ends up enjoying himself.
    46 Hot Cacao - Frith

    Art image 46
    Pony appreciating the heat. On a cold June day, what could be better than a cup of hot cocoa and vegemite on toast? I bet it's right cold outside in some areas of Australia.
    47 King of The Kiddie Pool - Lili Dash!

    Art image 47
    My headcanon is that Sombra can't swim because since he grew up an orphan in a landlocked country, there wasn't much of an opportunity to learn. So, splashing in the kiddie pool is all he can really handle. I am most proud of the pool and the shading I did for it.
    49 A Little Calculation Problem - Aethereus Entropy

    Art image 49
    Apparently Celestia has miscalculated the world's thermostat, let's hope she figures it out before all of Equestria is reduced to ashes.....

    Art image 51
