• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII: Day 5

     


    If you're going to have a secret mission theme, what better pony can you pick?

    Good evening everyone and welcome to another day of the NATG! As we enter day 5, we are already a sixth of the way through, can you believe it? So far while our numbers are down from last year, the creativity continues to thrive! Even though today's prompt is a breakaway from the comfort zone of the first few beginning prompts I think that you all managed to rise to the challenge and put your own unique spin on things.

    For today, you all managed to bring together 76 ponies which now brings our total to 345 ponies as we slowly creep closer and closer to 1000. Keep it up, everyone!

    As for today's prompt, I've mostly given our artists opportunities that required very minimal objects and backgrounds. While ponies in white spaces are pretty nifty, some background can really add to the scene and give some context to what your pony is doing. So that is why for today I wanted to start by introducing a prompt to test our artist's skills with backgrounds by asking them to Draw a pony enjoying nature / Draw a pony finding harmony in chaos.

    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 2000x2000! Resize your pictures to make sure they are the appropriate size, any image software should be able to help you.

    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.
