Created this for Twilight Day.

Allegedly (I'm not sure if it's real because this really threw me for a loop here) Amazon and Hasbro are creating a live-action MLP movie.
Panel 1: Nate the Pone is silent, represented by a "..." Panel 2: Nate the Pone lets out a loud "WAT"

NATG finale: Draw a pony celebrating a job well done (and then forgetting about it while the background reveals it was a legally dubious thing)

Also I remembered to shade Nate the Pone's mane this time

#NATGDay30
Panel 1: Nate the Pone happily says "I did a thing!". A news bulletin in the background says "PRINCESS TWILIGHT DECLARES WAR ON LADYBUGS". Panel 2: Nate the Pone continues, happily saying "And I completely forgot what it was!". The news bulletin updates to say "DUMB BLUE PONE STEALS 3.8 MILLION BITS", and it is revealed that Nate is standing next to a large quantity of bits, some of which are in moneybags.

Bad perspective? Why yes!
Also I forgot to color Nate the Pone's mane this time

#NATGDay28
Draw a pony reaching the end of the road (which this pony did quite painfully)
Nate the Pone walks down a grassy path-right into a wooden wall with a big sign saying "DEAD END"

I return
3D letters? Never again

#NATGDay20
Draw a pony seizing the day
Panel 1: Nate the Pone says "I'm going to quit being a lazy lump and draw something" Panel 2: Nate sits in front of a desk and scribbles on some paper, complete with the text *scribble* Panel 3: Nate holds up a crude drawing of himself in a poor attempt at Round Trip's stick pony style in front of a fancy background with the text "SUCCESS!" between two fancy stars

Day 2: Draw a pony off to a flying start
I don't think this is what "flying start" meant
#NATGDay11 #NATGDay2
Nate the Pone in an F-14! The F-14 in question is going up, and Nate the Pone is piloting it and enjoying himself. There's a city and a river and some highways in the background.

I took this too literally

#NATGDay9
Panel 1: Nate the Pone is reading a book on a blanket on a hill near a small town Panel 2: Same as Panel 1, but the sun is setting, the moon is out, and the town has advanced to the G5 era and is now a city. Nate closes the book Panel 3: Same as Panels 1 and 2, but the sun has gone, the city is now futuristic, and there's another city on the moon. A few flying vehicles can be seen in the background. Nate picks up the book and gets up Panel 4: Same as Panel 3, but Nate has turned his head and thinks "wait", having noticed that a few millennia have passed since he sat down

Nate the...Tatzlwurm?

Nate the Pone as a Tatzlwurm or a Tatzlwurm cosplaying as Nate the Pone? You decide.

(why are the tongues so thick)
(why did i pick a tatzlwurm of all non-pony mlp creatures)
#NATGDay8
A Tatzlwurm, as seen in the MLP episode Three's A Crowd. Its weird mouth is open, and it's wearing glasses and a wig (indicated by the tag sticking out), making it look like Nate the Pone.

Equestria's gayest couple

It took a while to get Lyra's mouth right

This might not exactly be them meeting, but I think it works
#NATGDay7
Lyra and Bon-Bon (Special Agent Sweetie Drops). Lyra's doing that memetic jumping, while Bon-Bon (Sweetie) rolls her eyes, amused. They're emitting little hearts, because they're in love.

These two count, right?

(maybe i shoulda done dash and aj)
#NATGDay6
Trixie and Starlight Glimmer are sitting next to each other. Trixie has her hoof wrapped around Glim-Glam. Glimmy has an uncomfortable face, and looks a bit squished. Trixie has a happy face.

I think I should ink these, but I won't.

Also, if you don't feel like reading the alt text, the Ω with a circle in it is my interpretation of the bit currency symbol.
Grammatically correct chart: PLAN FOR WORLD DOMINATION 1: NUKE CITY 2: ??? 3: PROFIT Panel 1: Nate the Pone stands in a doorway assuring some unseen pony. "Don't worry...", he says. Panel 2: Continuing from Panel 1, Nate says "...the bomb will be safe with me." Out of sight of the other pony, there's a crude chart saying "PLAN 4 WORLD DOMINASHUN", with crude drawings of Nate blowing of a city with the bomb, a question mark, and a moneybag with the Equestrian Bit symbol (a horseshoe surrounding a circle) surrounded by other bit symbols, labeled "1: NOOK SITEE", "2: ???", and "3: PROFITT", respectively. Above the plan is a painting of Commander Hurricane (the version from a splash screen from the MLP Gameloft game). holy shit this is a verbose alt text

#NATGDay4
This pony definitely stole Nate the Pone's thunder. Although that Cessna-esque plane is designed for much lower altitudes...

(You can't really tell, but the pony in the space shuttle is supposed to be Rainbow Dash)
A scene in suborbit or orbit showing a small plane piloted by Nate the Pone and the space shuttle Atlantis, piloted by Rainbow Dash, passing each other. Nate the Pone is thinking "show-off.", while RD sticks her tongue out at him. The coastline below is meant to be western Florida.

Not sure if this fits the prompt, but this pony (again, me) do be in good spirits after having some cake

Again, not sure if this fits the prompt and tag (or if this is even the right tag (I think it is)):
#NTAGDay3

(Perhaps it would've worked better if I just drew the last panel)
Panel 1: Nate the Pone thinks "Is that cake?" Panel 2: Nate the Pone thinks "yes it is" and smiles Panel 3: Nate the Pone noms some cake with the sound effect "*nom nom nom*" Panel 4: Nate the Pone thinks "I like cake."

Sometimes I draw horse, so here's some horse, my OC, (wait for it) Nate the Pone.

This is for The Newbie Artist Training Grounds (I sent this image to the Equestria Daily version also because the prompts are similar and I'm lazy), so here's a tag:
#NATGDay1
Clearly rushed sketch of Nate the Pone. He's supposed to be blue with a black, slightly brown mane

Pony Town's EponaFest event is live

I think I like this tagging thing
#PonyTown #EponaFest2025
Italian flag in Pony Town from the EponaFest event. EPONAFEST (two lines, EPONA and FEST) is written on the flag. Very few ponies are present, but Nate the Pone (me) is among them, in the O in EPONA.

A bread line in Pony Town so large a minimap clipping had to be used

Me, two devs of pony town, and some random pony

Oh god, someone referenced the classic MLP fan video Friendship is Magic Bitch on bill wurtz's questions page
A snippet from bill's questions page. The question, in purple is "do you like, mmm, bananas?". bill's response , in white, is "sort of". The date, in yellow, is April 27, 2025.

It's a bit late for 50, so I must compromise in this shocking return to Pony Town.

Today I learned creeper milk is a thing.

(it's milk with green dye in it licensed by Mojang)
A creeper near a milk bucket. The creeper is looking at the player, as if to say "wut" regarding this post.
