Newbie Artist Training Grounds XV: Day 1

Source:

Hellooooo everyone! I would like to formally welcome everyone to the 15th Newbie Artist Training Grounds!!! I, King Grimlock, will be your host this year as we all take the journey toward becoming artists together!! I am very excited to be hosting this year, and even more excited to see all the amazing art that you all will be submitting this following month!! Due to this being my first time, this months prompts will be given EVERY OTHER DAY (15 Days of Prompts Total) of the month instead of every day of the month.

Some ground rules that I would like state are as follows. No AI, No clop/NSFW, No Gore. Please be sure to be respectful to all artists who are participating in this event and make sure to build each-other up!

Now, with all that said, for the first prompt of NATG XV: 

 

Draw a pony standing // Draw a pony planting their hooves.

 <<<You can find the compiler you'll be submitting your drawings to here!>>>

 We are also teaming up with Calpain over on Bluesky who will be hosting thirty prompts on their end. The first one of which is: Draw a pony standing / Draw a pony rooted to the spot

 If you need some tips on drawing, check out our Tutorial Codex for hints and tips! Learn how to submit below if you have any questions.

The background six! Some of the best ponies to ever pony pony pony! I love that the fans' adoration of this group caused them to eventually transcend the background. Good evening, folks.

This GIANT Octavia Plushie!

Octavia is a plushie we see pretty often, but not at THIS size! Can you imagine if Hasbro was releasing these? They'd make a killing.

It was made by 50kilosofhope on Twitter! She'sa whopping 1.6m in length.

Get more shots below.

Where do I submit?

We will be using our submission system.  Simply click the "Pony Collection Event 2025" event and fill in the blanks with your entry.  Each person gets 2 submission this time around. If you need to use multiple images, collage them together. That works really well.

If you would like to film your creation and put it on Youtube,  toss the link in the "Page URL" section.  You will also need a direct image to go along with it though!

A tutorial for grabbing the DIRECT URL of an image can be found below:

No NSFW pony merchandise, this includes clop and gore.

A tutorial for grabbing the DIRECT URL of an image can be found below:

This will give you a direct URL. It must end in ".png" or ".jpg".  Example for what it will look like:
