3 ED NATG 2025 Day 1+2 - Addelum
Last year, I limited myself to Gen 5 characters, but this time, I translated my Neopets characters Slurpie (the dragon) and Regina (the otter) to pony-sona OCs and will be completing each prompt using them.

8 Sunset Shimmer standing, waiting. - meto30
For a while I was wondering what format/medium I should choose for this year's Artist Training Grounds, as I am pursuing several. After some consideration I decided that I should follow the trail of evolution my past ATGs have taken; therefore, for this year's ATG I'm drawing a manga.

I'm new to digital art and I don't have any of my traditional art posted anywhere except in a few old amino chats and possibly a lost skype group from many many years ago. i stopped drawing about 3 years ago and I'm kind of a ghost online so this will be the first time In a long while I've posted my art for everypony to see. hopefully this event will help me shake off the rust and get my drawing skills back to a point where i can be proud to draw for the fandom again

18 Rooted - Termyotter
When I was growing up I remember some relatives say stuff like "don't stand around or you'll get rooted there" or versions of that. I used to sometimes think of what that would be like.... Put down hooves and you may start to grow horseshoe trees.

24 Outstanding in His Field - Star
First day in the training grounds. Good luck everpony! I am also including fun facts with my art this time. The patches of skin on horses' legs are called chestnuts; the ones closer to the hooves are Ergots. They are leftover toes from when horses evolved to one toe.

43 NATG 1: "Standing" her "Ground" - Issy
Tried a lot of new things with this. More dynamic poses, simple shading, backgrounds. I didn't have much faith in myself but I actually really like how it turned out. Don't ask who this pony is, I don't know her and she certainly isn't a serial arsonist.
