The only drawing that I hadn't coloured in this NATG was the first one, the "pony standing" one. Since the "makeup day" prompt is for late submissions and today is Canada day, I figured I'd slap on the red and white. Thus the white maned red pony, giving me a white field on red. Like the Canadian flag.

I used white paint for the mane but it doesn't really show. I tested white pastel on the upper edge of the mane and that doesn't show either. As for the leaves, they're quick and dirty "maple" leaves, filled in with glitter paint (handmade by Karen in the UK). It's late, I work tomorrow.

Perhaps it was the bag of cherries on the counter, perhaps the cherry ice cream in the freezer, but I came to realize that what we were asked to draw, the impossible 'living of the best life' or a sterile cityscape coated in scarlet paint, that the answer is "that it's all in your head". Or in the Magical Land of Equestria, it's in a changeling pod, as per Kris Overstreet's Changeling Space Program where the bright green chrysalises act like full immersion VR simulators. Those pastel love bug metamorph critters have to have a food source and some ponies got to have sunshine in a bag. But not for long, the future is coming on.

The ponies living it up are Svengallop, Angelwings, John Candy, Twist, Wind Rider and some other pony. The 7th pod might as well be empty.

As for drawing a town and dozens of buckets of red paint, nope. Not doing that. John Candy in pod 3 can take care of that.

Yesterday was a complete write-off, a migraine had me in its clutches from morning until well into the night. It's amazing to me that after spending all that time napping or attempting to nap, my eyes resisted opening this morning. So I'm _still_ playing catch-up in the art challenge. This is for 'trying something new; getting a cutie mark'. So this is a 2 fer 1. Neighberry getting her cutie mark. Accidentally swallowing green bottle flies is now her special talent.

This combines "learning a new skill" with the alt-NATG "beach" prompt. Blucifer is a gigantic statue outside of Denver airport in Colorado. Blucifer is anatomically correct where it counts, so naturally a My Little Blucifer is hilarious. I was going to have Princess Celestia (with Princess Luna) as the pony admiring the view, but I couldn't get her drawn right. I decided to give Blucifer dreads, but perhaps spikes held up with gel would have been more apropos.
