Hello everyone!!! I cannot believe that we are here at the end already folks. It has been absolutely amazing to see what everyone has created this month.

Another ED: NATG done! I really enjoyed this year's program; every past year I've had to take one or two months off afterward because of burnout. But with the relaxed schedule and the overarching theme in exploration of my OC's activities, these doodles became a relatively quick habit every other night. I'm fired up and will be participating in next month's Art Fight! Before I wrap this up, I want to thank Sethisto for running Equestria Daily and KingGrimlock for hosting this year's program. Consummatum est!
Another spin around the sun. Thanks, EQD, and I hope everyone had a good ATG!
Wait has it been a year already?! Thanks for joining my artist adventure! May I see yall around here again!
And we've reached the end of another NATG! Thank you for the lovely prompts this month, I felt like this year's event really improved my art skills a bit! I doubt that I'll be here for another NATG next year...nah probably not. See you around! -EmilyLsArt
Dont drop him :D Pretty sure you dont want to know how many bits she spent to get that Jackpot :)
While getting traveled to the future was hard for Caveman Pony, it turned out great for him... but some to some ponies he couldnt say his goodbye :( especially to his family.
Trixie just showed Jack Pot her cool magician wagon and the awe hits him.
You know you've hit the jackpot when you get to spend some time with Celestia!
And so, Sunny, Izzy, and Misty make it home. Although, they may have been gone for a bit too long.
Applejack encourage Rainbow Dash to drink the love potion. After Rainbow Dash drank the love potion, then she turned into love poison, which she lose eye contact causing to love somepony by targeting at Starlight Glimmer to encourage her to date. Starlight is very confused what's happening to Rainbow Dash, while Trixie is gone insane to Applejack for attempt to cheat her, Rainbow Dash realized that love potion can be brainwashed, and gotten worse. Now, Applejack will takes time to go with Fluttershy to distract Rainbow Dash.
Zephyr Breeze graduated from the mane styling school. Congratz, bro!
Just wanted to end this competition on a cool note! It's school graduation season now, and it's time to show everyone the best you've got! Grab your best suit, pick the academic hat - you deserved it! It was another fun competition to draw, and I hope I improved my skill a little.
This is it, the end of NATG XV! The final prompt had me cranky, it was the mundane 'reward' task pair: graduation and jackpot. But jack Cranky Doodle Donkey brought on the inspiration in the shape of a bag of Cranky Jack Pot. Hee hee! Breaking Bad Cranky Doodle. ^_^ So that's 15 straight NATG's for me. I liked the 48 hour period between prompts with a two day extension for each. Hopefully this will also be the case next year, even if it would take two months to go through a full 30 prompt NATG. But the idiom-type prompts really need to be ditched and replaced with actual art prompts. Thanks for bearing the torch, King Grimlock! See you at NATG XVI!
The pot o' gold only shows up after a rainbow once before it gets annoying. XD
NATG 25 graduation with cigars and wine bottles
In chemistry it is everything, down to the simplest instruments.
