Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII: Day 28

 

Source

If there is a pony that would know about catching their second wind, it would be AJ. With a busy workload every day, she manages to power through it every day without fail. The same can be said with art, when you have deadlines or have a project you want done, sometimes you're going to have to go above and beyond to get it done. Let's just hope that second wind is there for you when you need it.

For today we brought in 61 ponies which brings us up to 1987 ponies in total! So close to 2k, everyone!

Well, everyone, you've made it all to day 28! The last of the days with a mystery prompt before we get down to the final prompts that wrap up this year's NATG! Considering our ponies have been through a lot it's time for them to start wrapping up their own journeys along with you. So for today I'd like you to Draw a pony at the end / Draw a pony finishing a long journey.

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!

My Little Pony: Mane Merge In-Game Character Models & Animations Ported To Blender

The in-game models from the Apple Arcade game My Little Pony: Mane Merge have been ported to Blender by fandom members hitchsprout and kap.ah.

New "My Little Pony Celebration Tails" Toy Set Featuring Ridiculously Long Tails Found

A new "Celebration Tails" MLP toy set has been found in a store in Chile. It's new enough that it hasn't been listed online anywhere yet.

According to the box art, "My Little Pony Celebration Tails" features five 3-inch ponies with "extra-long tails": Zipp, Pipp, Izzy, Sunny and Misty. They have solid molded manes and articulated joints.

Possibly because of the unusually long tails, the box features an opaque flap that completely encloses the usual cut-out window. You're supposed to be able to lift it up (if it isn't taped shut), but photos of it don't reveal much that isn't already visible on the exterior.

Lyra and Bon Bon Day Discussion: Character Development, Episode Ideas and More!

 

Source

Like many of the side characters that grew in popularity over the years, Lyra and Bon Bon started as background ponies that were picked up for their colorful designs and poses by the fandom and expanded on. With Lyra gaining a more eccentric personality than Bon Bon who seemed to be the more sane of the duo, the basis for much of the fanon Lyra and Bon Bon creations was set.

Considering all the different paths for Lyra and Bon Bon that have appeared over the years such as Lyra's obsessions with humans and hands, do you think there were better ways the two could have been developed by the fandom? And if you could have had an episode with just these two, what would it be about?

Talk about all of that and more in the comments!

With how hot it has been lately, I don't blame these two for finding some shade and ice cream to cool off.

Morning everyone, I hope you all are doing well today. Ready to get things moving?
