Who is this Grace and why were you riding her anyway? You should know better than to ride a pony bareback. Good thing Grace has a talent for first aid and you didn't fall far.

In a world where everypony wears saddles, who will ride the riders? Coming soon to a theater near you.

Princess Celestia makes peace with herself, as anypony who has lived as long as she has must. In the magical land of Equestria, repressed thoughts and emotions tend to manifest physically and becoming whole once again gets tricky.

Mostly pastels, pony in coloured pencils.

Awk! My tulips! Eat hoe crazy horse!

Light at the end of the tunnel prompt. End being a function of the train blocking egress in that direction and the messy end if you fail to outrun the train.

Horse lips are so mobile and elastic. I was the only one to combine card dealing and a literal interpretation of "under the table. All natural coloured pencils on paper.

This was right on the mark before the prompt got switched from "right as rain/under the weather" to "following their dreams". So I ended up being the only one using Rain or weather as a theme.

Cider. It's not just what's for breakfast anymore. This was for the "making up for lost time" prompt.

I notice that the views on these blog posts slowly tick up across the board. I suspect spidering by search engines and/or LLM's counts as views? The same might be so for posted stories?

The 18th (of 30) prompt for the NATG tasked all who dared to draw a pony taking the heat or chilling out. Relaxing in a cool bath is perfect for getting relief from the heat so I stuck the Last Unicorn in a Red Bull shaped bath. Done in coloured pencils on paper.

It's been a long day toiling in the chocolate mines (they're all long days) and my grip on consciousness is slipping. Yesterday was the End of the Line for NATG XIV and that was also the last prompt. This references S8e23 (Sounds of Silence) which also was an end of the line, for the train and for the map table quests. I don't think there were any others.

As is wont to occur in NATG's idiom driven illustration challenge, Day 28's prompt lent itself to meaning 'draw your horse in the instant _before_ it was chilling in the Day 27 illustration'. So that's what I did. Tired horse, drained of colour, about to touch grass.

I have ZeFrank's Scribbler and I'm going to use it! Especially during 30 day drawing marathons when I want to cut corners and go to bed. Day 26 of the NATG this year (it's over, you missed it, try next year) asked for a "happy place". So here you go. Happy horse touching grass. You're welcome!

This was my entry for the NATG XIV day 20 "twist of fate" prompt. It has Ponyville boarded up, by the ocean or a large body of water and Pony Life Pinkie Pie trapped in a smart phone and about to be swept away by corporate whim. Corporate whim is the source of the twist of fate there and the source of the post-apocalyptic Equestria that followed -- A New Generation/ Make Your Mark/ Tell Your Tale.
