For the 15th and final task: "Draw a pony graduating // Draw a pony who just hit the jackpot". I already did a graduated cylinder gag a few years ago. Perhaps I can do something with taking a hit of Cranky Jack's pot? Ugh! I can almost smell the stuff! X^p Maybe it's the wildfire smoke in the air this morning. Confound this NATG! It keeps driving me to pot!
The good news is that there _will_ be a Makeup day on July 1st.
As always, draw (or sculpt or do a photo-montage), host the image of what you made in an online gallery and drop the URL into the submission form here, it's live. King Grimlock does not specifying the prompt in the submitter, but otherwise it's the usual: you can enter five different images per prompt. The maximum resolution is 2000x2000 pixels, so chose a link from your gallery that points to a version of your image that does not exceed 2,000 pixels on either side. Also, don't exceed 4 Mb per picture or the poniloader will plotz and choke on your picture. MLPforums and Discord work as image hosts in a pinch, although I think that there's an expiry date on those options. Xitter works somehow, it looks like Mastodon does, probably Bluesky as well, if you're savvy and Imgur apparently works too. I use Flickr. The pictures will be visible on EqD along with the last task at 9 PM (MST) on July 1st. KG has stopped trying to make bespoke URLs so I'll paste the gallery URL when it appears.
So be sure to get your drawings in well before 9 PM Mountain Standard Time (or midnight Eastern Daylight Savings Time and 5 AM UTC). King Grimlock is _not_ waiting until the cutoff time to prep and queue the gallery. The grace period should give you at least two extra days and KG goes back to edit in the late submissions, usually around the same time he posts the next prompt. KG can and does change the close date on the submitter and keeps just two active at any given moment. I don't think there will be any late submission catch-up days in this NATG.
Off topic submissions, more than was usual in past years, are showing up in the gallery. That's because King Grimlock is also posting what Calpain is prompting on Bluesky in his fringe NATG and people have been hybridizing this NATG with it. Calpain's prompts today are pony feeling the heat / pony with their eye on the clock.
