• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII: Makeup Day 3

     


    Now that is a lot of pony. It's funny to think we've gone through almost 30 prompts already and with all those prompts so many different ways our ponies can interact with one another. With all of the creativity and positivity we've had this year, I must say this has to be one of our best NATGs yet.

    For today we managed to bring in 43 ponies which brings us up to 2091 ponies in total! Just a couple more days to get that total up there, gang!

    As for today, it's our final Makeup Day! So make sure you spend your time wisely, it might be a day to rest, but it's a good day to get caught up on your 'homework' before the event is done! We've only got one more prompt after this, you know?

    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.

    2 Spitfire's Scramble - Ebony Crystal

    Art image 2
    It was just one of those days at the Wonderbolt HQ where everything that could go wrong, DID go wrong. Spitfire had had it up to here with all of the insubordination and put all of the cadets into various training exercises. Cloud Chaser blinked as she heard her commander give the order to scramble them, hearing the loud humming of wings above her. "Um, ma'am, I don't think there was a reason to scramble the cadets-" she soon felt a huge blast of wind in front of her as Spitfire barked into her megaphone. "BUT I LIKE TO SCRAMBLE THE CADETS! GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT, MAGGOT?!" Cloud Chaser's ears were soon ringing after the yelling stopped, knowing better than to piss her commander off even more, she soon changed into her uniform and went to join the others in the scramble. Spitfire smirked to herself, sighing in content. "That's what I thought."
