• Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIII: Day 30

     


    Every individual picture, every individual day has been a journey for us all these past 30 days. Some pieces came naturally while others you struggled with. Some days you had time and some you wondered if you'd even have 15 minutes to sketch. And there were some pieces you were proud of and others you'd count as duds. Over the past 30ish days you all have experienced the ups and downs of what it means to be an artist, veteran, and newbie alike and while it may be tough, I hope the good far outweighs the bad for you and you take what you learned here to what awaits you ahead.

    Today we brought in 84 ponies which brings us up to 2175 ponies in total! Excellent job everyone, let's finish strong.

    Well, here it is, the final day everyone. You've done all you can for me and I am proud of all the work you've done. As such, today is the day you graduate, another NATG done and dusted. So celebrate the fact you made it through this year (or another year if you're a veteran) and get some rest after this, you've earned it. For today all I want you to do is Draw a pony graduating / Draw a pony making their dreams come true.

    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!

  • Doctor Whooves Living Legacy - Episode 7: Murder At The Gala

    Another episode of Doctor Whooves: Liviung Legacy is out for anyone lokoing for another journey into shenanigans with background ponies. Have a synopsis:


    After a long string of adventures, the TARDIS crew returns to Ponyville, only to arrive inside Derpy's home by accident, and with the revelation that they've been gone for three months instead of the previously agreed upon one hour. Fearful of a certain alicorn princess' indignance, and with Derpy having at last resolved to join her friends in their journey across time and space, the TARDIS crew load back up and set out for The Grand Galloping Gala one hundred years in Equestria's future. What they find upon there arrival will be a party to remember - for all the wrong reasons...

    Author: HERE


    Description:Princess Celestia and Princess Luna have been watching over Equestria for many centuries. They've seen cities rise and fall, empires grow and collapse. They've guided their subjects through the ages better than anypony could hope for.

    So why, then, do they feel so alone at the end of time?
