Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 25 (2024)

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 25 (1)

Some things are never meant to be discovered, but fate has us stumble upon them anyway. We just have to be sure we're ready to deal with the consequences if we decide to dig deeper.

As for today's totals, we managed to bring in a lovely 46ponieswhich now brings us up to 1420poniesin total. Just five more days everyone! Let's keep pushing forward!

Yesterday I said we haven't had many shady prompts and tonight I intend to go a few shades darker because while FiM is a show about friendship and harmony, there are still villains in the show. While it is nice to practice good characters, it's also good to expand your skills by allowing you to practice some villainy! So for today I want you to try and Draw a pony choosing the lesser of two evils / Draw a pony rotten to the core.

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:

Use that URL in the compiler for your image. Hopefully that works!

Max Image Size is 4MB!

Animations do not animate when sent through the compiler! Include some text with your submitted animation so people can 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.

25 2024 ATG #24 FoE Fanart: Scrapile Find - Blackblade360

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 25 (26)
Here’s a drawing for Prompt #24, Draw a pony stumbling on a secret / Draw a pony making a deal under the tableIn this artwork, shows another one of my ocs, Calkie finding some Scrapile stash of old enclave armor parts.Also as some good old fashion lore oc info, since Calkie is half cyborg, they also have some defense mechanism just in case somecreature attacks him.In this case, the reason why there’s a hole in their clothing right in-between the side torso is because that’s where the nano-tech guns came out…and for the wings, well, the guns ARE their wings…P.S The reason why I haven’t drawn that much of Calkie is due to them having some lore connection to a friend’s lore as well, and I don’t know if they’re ok for me to post some Fanart of their ocs in this website.Derpibooru: https://derpibooru.org/images/3390918

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 25 (40)
The original shady deal . . . Speaking of shady, I decided to do more with shading this time, and I made my lines more prominent. "The wicked accept bribes in secret to pervert the course of justice" (Proverbs 15:27 NIV). "Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the innocent" (Exodus 23:8 NIV).

Newbie Artist Training Grounds XIV: Day 25 (46)
Every dungeon has hidden loot stashed somewhere. You have to hit every wall, tap every brick, and take every step in order to find it! Though, sometimes it can be placed in a rather... unfortunate spot.
