Introductory Post Thinger

Hah, so this is later than originally intended. But it’s still worth doing since it’s been awhile.

To go with the new year we’re putting out a sort of introductory post. What we do here and who the mods are and all that.

The 30minchallenge blog is dedicated, if it weren’t obvious, to hosting four art challenges every day. Most of these are My Little Pony based, but we do mix it up with other challenges on Fridays.

The challenges are time limited to keep ideas flowing, doing new things and all, as well as to help people practice their speed and general drawing skills. Mostly though it’s just for fun. Ya take them as seriously as you’d like to take them.

We generally run 30 or 45 minute challenges with 15 minutes to get your submissions to us tacked on the end. We take submissions over here- https://30min.ponylogic.com/ for reasons and then post them on this Tumblr where the challenge prompts are found.

For further details on the challenges see our Rules and FAQ pages.

We have a Discord for participants in the challenges! Doesn’t matter how often you participate, if you’ve done art for the challenge you’re welcome to join, send the blog an ask to get your invite.

Now we’ll include some brief-ish intros from the staff. This concludes everything else though if you don’t want to read about that! Thanks for reading and thanks for participating, reblogging, liking and all that jazz too! Remember, we only really spread by word of mouth- let folks know we’re around and we’ll see how many artists we can jam in a challenge! 😀

I am Solar Flair! Hello. I’m the longest running staff member of this blog and it’s Admin. I was not the original admin or anything however. Well, for this version of the blog I am. The original 30minchallenge got hacked and we lost it- thanks for the complete lack of assistance Tumblr Staff, kiss kiss.

Anyway, all that aside I’m a pretty standard nerd. Gimmie them vidya games, D&D, books, furry trash, et cetera. I’m a writer, but one of those lazy ones. I’ve worked on a comic with a friend, but that’s sorta dead now. I help a bit with Trotcon. As for pones Rarity is the best, RD is as sharp as a bowling ball.

Hiya. Ahm Berreh, and ahm drnuk. Let the shenans begin! You can find me as rpb3000 most everywhere I care to be (liek these links, tho ‘tis a smidge outdated). I run Pixel Ponies Gaming which primarily serves as the gaming wing of TrotCon, the best dang ponycon in Ohio. Ya might have heard of us. If not, check us out. We run a live 30 Min Challenge there. Is good times. Anywho, enough about me. This is for ART. It’s about YOU. Gotta be quick! Ready? DRAW!

I’m Will. I am an architectural designer and draftsman as well as a painter and woodworker. I enjoy playing with puppies, reading pony fanfics, playing video games, and drawing pony art. Most of my time is either spent on the internet or in a workshop making wooden signs and display pieces.

My main blog is http://willtingle.tumblr.com/. Links to my other blogs can be found from there.

For now, I’ll just say I’m an artist and animator.

Salutations, I’m Hundashter. Cadence is best princess and Plaid Stripes is best pony. I draw once in a blue moon and 90% of that time I make what I draw related to Plaid Stripes. Did I mention I like Plaid Stripes?

And now you know your mods from A to… well I didn’t put them in alphabetical order. But yeah, grats on reading all that. On to art!

today’s cadance challenge is….Gabby!

This peppy griffon really wants a cutie mark, trying just about anything to get one. She’s really cheery compared to other griffons, I wonder what she’s been up to since last met up with the CMC?

you’ve got 30 minutes to draw and 15 to submit!

Today’s Celestia challenge is Snails!!

Sure this pony can be a bit slow, but he always seems to have a goofy smile on his face. He is also really good at buck ball! He is often seen with his best friend, Snips, but Snails is his own pony! What does he like to do on his own time?

You have 30 minutes to draw and 15 minutes to submit! Have fun!
