NATG XIV - Day 21

Prompt: Draw a pony following their dreams / Draw a pony feeling defeated.

Based on a screen from Kirby 64.

"Where's Pipp and Misty?" It may have something to do with whatever led to this...

Original:

NATG XIV - Day 20

Prompt: Draw a pony experiencing a twist of fate / Draw a pony delaying the inevitable.

I had trouble coming up with ideas for either prompt, so I just drew Serendipity, a pony from G3. Here she finds two pots of gold and a double rainbow! How lucky!

NATG XIV - Day 19

Prompt: Draw a pony on the warpath / Draw a pony finding peace with themselves.

Featuring Sunset on a beach. It's nice to be a reformed unicorn.

(Considered doing Starlight instead, but I changed my mind.)

NATG XIV - Day 18

Prompt: Draw a pony taking the heat / Draw a pony chilling out.

Decided to draw Comet, who would probably take some time to get used to the heat due to having lived in a snowy place his whole life.

NATG XIV - Day 17

Prompt: Draw a pony scared out of their wits / Draw a pony scared stiff.

Izzy finds herself alone in a white void. None of her friends are there, or even her shadow... (I think Izzy would have a fear of being alone/abandoned, since she wouldn't want to be lonely again.)

NATG XIV - Day 16

Prompt: Draw a pony as another species / Draw a pony getting a new lease on life.

Hitch as a draconequus; I just thought it would be fun to see a more "orderly" character as one. Originally thought of him having more seaside animal parts, since he's the sheriff of a seaside town.

NATG XIV - Day 15

Prompt: Draw a ponyfied version of your favorite book, game, etc / Draw a pony from another world.

Sort of inspired by the latest BFDI:TPOT episode ("Out of the Blue"). Liy is a unicorn whose horn (and hooves?) light up when you press the switch on her nose. Four is a draconequus (though he doesn't really look the part; he looks more like Prickle from Gumby). And the Eternal Algebra Class is exactly what it sounds like; you don't want to go here.

The full chalkboard for anyone who wants to see it:

NATG XIV - Day 14

Prompt: Draw a pony falling from grace / Draw a pony past their prime.

Based on the movie, in which the royal family is exposed and Pipp's career (temporarily, of course) comes crashing down.

NATG XIV - Day 13

Prompt: Draw a pony experiencing their 15 minutes of fame / Draw a pony in the spotlight.

Based on a piece I did for last year's NATG, where a changeling disguised as Fluttershy becomes really popular.

NATG XIV - Day 12

Prompt: Draw a pony exploring a place lost to legend / Draw a pony off the beaten path.

A weird interpretation of Skyros, based on the tapestry from "The Lone Alicorn". Sunny is talking to one of the alicorns in said tapestry, Izzy and Misty are just chilling in the rainbow water, Hitch is watching Sparky, and Pipp and Zipp are just there. (Partly inspired by the celebration pictures from Kirby Star Allies; Sunny is smaller because this was intended to have a chibi-ish style, but that didn't really pan out. This took me hours to make... "Alternate versions" under the cut.)

Background:

Izzy and Misty:

Hitch and Sparky:

Sunny and her friend:

Pipp and Zipp:

NATG XIV - Day 11

Prompt: Draw a pony reaching for the stars / Draw a pony willing to stop at nothing.

In which Star Hopper (a pony from G1) rides on a UFO to the stars! (How is she breathing without proper space gear? Don't ask me.)

NATG XIV - Day 10

Prompt: Draw a pony feeling out of place / Draw a pony feeling right at home.

Semi-continuation of my Day 5 piece; this time, Sunny's mom returns home to find that the exterior of her old home has changed significantly. And that's just the beginning of the story...

(Most of my time with this piece was spent on the Brighthouse, as you might expect. I might continue this story if another prompt provides for it.)

Day 5 piece:

NATG XIV - Day 9

Prompt: Draw a pony working for peanuts / Draw a pony working a crummy job.

Sprout finds himself becoming the mascot for a cheesy space-themed milkshake place while a pair of children gaze (gawk?) at him. How humiliating.

(The kids are OCs of mine; Sugar Cookie is the pegasus and Chamomile is the unicorn.)

NATG XIV - Day 8

Prompt: Draw a pony not thinking straight / Draw a pony losing their mind.

Probably the fastest NATG drawing I've done this year (so far), since it took me less than an hour to do. Features a batty Twilight, with a loose and messy brush for the background and coloring. (side note: had trouble writing this description.)

NATG XIV - Day 7

Prompt: Draw a pony with their better half / Draw a pony finding someone special!

Figured I'd draw these two, since I've never done Yona digitally before and I wanted a bit more variety in terms of characters. Thought of drawing some food in their thought bubble, but I just went with a simple heart ("better half").

NATG XIV - Day 6

Prompt: Draw a pony learning the ropes / Draw a pony offering a pearl of wisdom.

"But I can drive my crafting scooter just fine! What's wrong with a bus?" - Izzy

(A rather loose interpretation of the second prompt, since I had trouble coming up with good ideas for either one. The only other pony I could think of who would write this would be Sprout's mom, Phyllis (pre-magic, of course.))

NATG XIV - Day 5

Prompt: Draw a pony shrouded in mystery / Draw a pony with friends in high places.

Sunny and Zipp discover a beautiful, mysterious garden... and a familiar looking pony. Is it really her? Or is it just a ghost? An illusion? You decide.

NATG XIV - Day 4

Prompt: Draw a pony on a wild goose chase / Draw a pony stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Silverstream must reach the top of the endless stairs if she's to have any hope of retrieving her necklace... if only she knew about the backwards long jump.

NATG XIV - Day 3

Prompt: Draw a pony throwing caution to the wind / Draw a pony tiptoeing around danger.

Sunny leaps across a dangerous spike pit in a crystal cavern. Sure, she could just use her alicorn powers, but where's the fun in that? (The title is a reference to an old, unofficial name for the "Crystal Dungeons" track from Kirby's Return to Dream Land.)

NATG XIV - Day 2

Prompt: Draw a pony taking its first steps / Draw a pony coming to life!

Based on an old idea I had for a "Micro-Series" styled comic:

"When one of Izzy Moonbow's creations mysteriously comes to life, what's a unicorn to do?"

(Butterscotch is saying, "Hello, Izzy!" I forgot to add the dialogue.)

NATG XIV - Day 1

Prompt: Draw a pony standing / Draw a pony holding its ground.

It's that time of year again. I wasn't sure who to draw, so I just drew Vapor Trail. (And yes, the "sky" is green.)

Submission for Equestria Daily's Chrysalis Day. An attempt at a reformed Chrysalis design, using a limited color palette.

Submission for Equestria Daily's Vinyl and Octavia Day, featuring a gradient background and a style semi-inspired by the G1 Takara Ponies.

A trio of G3 ponies I had done before, but with more interesting backgrounds and poses (instead of just pure white/not transparent/basic standing).

Top to bottom: Daisy Paisley, Morning Monarch, Glitterbelle. (The stuff in Morning Monarch's mane is meant to be tinsel.)

Here we have Sunny's mom (or Velvet, as I'm calling her) as an alicorn, sleeping peacefully in a mysterious bedroom, dreaming of the daughter she left all those years ago.

Experimented with a more loose/"messy" coloring style; the overall style was semi-inspired by Kirby's Dream Land 3 (crayon/pastel aesthetic).

My take on an older version of Flurry Heart, in a semi-different art style (mostly the face); I imagine this one would be an older teen or a young adult. (I didn't feel like designing a cutie mark for her, or using the one from that Gameloft game, so there.)

Submission for Equestria Daily's Fluttershy Day. Based on the seapony designs from My Little Pony: Set Your Sail, the G5 comic miniseries. Each one seems to be based partially on some sort of sea creature; initially my idea was an angelfish or a sea angel, until I remembered that butterflyfish existed. (The wings were added after I finished everything else on her.) Angel is a sea angel, but he's not too thrilled about it! (and he's pink.) (It was also going to have a proper undersea background, but then I got lazy.)

Turned a few background pony concepts from the G5 movie into actual characters! Clockwise from top left: Gloomshade, Swiss Roll, and Nightshade (not related to Gloom).  Reference: https://derpibooru.org/images/2731703?q=concept+art%2C+g5

Another attempt at a "lineless" drawing, featuring Jade from G5.

Yes, catnip works on leopards, too. Experimented with a more "lineless" style. (as well as an environment, and combining Sunny's mane stripes with her old braid)
