Today’s Asian Challenge is… to create a fictional character among ponies!

Like Daring Do was! (but isn’t anymore). You know, someone from a book or whatnot, the power ponies would be another example.

Maybe some legends of other species even, I’m sure ponies have all sorts of characters they think on.

You’ve got 30 minutes to create followed by 15 minutes to submit! Have fun~

About last night.

I know some of you found me harsh, or even ungrateful. But the truth is that I really care about the challenge. And sometimes I am not so tactful with unpleasant news. At such times I feel ripping the bandaid off is better than pulling it slowly and then kissing it… or something like that. Don’t like ignoring the elephant in the room or whatnot.

We do our best to bring challenges to you folks every day, interesting and fun as we can make them. And it’s not for us. We do it for you guys. That’s why we try hard to be diverse, it isn’t about us and what we want.

Doing this is rewarding. Quite rewarding. But it is also work of a sort.

Imagine planning a Pinkie-esque party but only a guest or two shows up. For a small get together it’s no sweat. But when you try to make something you think will be the toast of the town and that happens, well, it’s just not good.

It’s kind of like that when a 24 hour challenge goes poorly. It truly does make us have to evaluate how many of them we do and when, particularly when we find the idea solid.

That said, there are always factors. Many factors. Sometimes it’s hard to see the trees for the forest. You get stuck on the big picture and fail to appreciate otherwise, even when it’s pointed out to you.

I know some definitely have interest in seeing more 24 hour challenges, at the least hors does, and where there is interest we do not ignore it lightly. So what I would like to know is how many of you artist folk have a particular interest in them as something from time to time. If you want ‘em let us know, y’know? Without input we don’t know if we should put them on the sidelines or trot them out more often.

Feel free to tack on details as well, such as if you’d prefer notice of them or how frequently you’d like to see them.

Thanks for reading.

And don’t forget!

Bonus challenges were promised for this weekend after the issues with The Asian Challenge. Since the 24 hour challenge was in progress that got squeezed to Sunday. Rather than bombard Sunday though I think we’ll save one for next weekend too.

So, after The Asian Challenge there’ll be a bonus both this week and next week.

So sorry! I was doing my picture, but life got in the way (in a horrible, horrible way, just search in the news for Jalisco, Mexico). And end up only having some characterless sketches. Only unitl today could I return to draw and well, I didn’t had anything worth posting (again, since I couldn’t define the characters in the sketches). But I really want to participate in another 24 hour challenge!

Eesh, that’s rough dude. No one could blame ya there. I sincerely hope things look up in the area. I know Mexico has been having some pretty rough problems with cartels and the government these days. Stay safe!

The Roundup starts tomorrow night as well actually, so if you are bothered by not being able to finish your piece you could still do it if you like for that :3

Frankly, doing this challenge over the day, a new MLP episode comes out, was an awful idea. Several artists like to draw something about a new episode right away and might be too busy to do the challenge. I know of at least one case, where an artist considered doing the challenge but turned it down because of the new episode. Not saying that this is the sole reason, there was low participation, but I’m sure it’s a significant factor.

Seems like a pretty weak reasoning to me, given it started yesterday, before the episode came out.

Not to mention the episode didn’t even air until halfway into today.

And also given that a lot of people don’t get to see the new episode the day of and we personally keep our challenges based on new episodes until the start of the next week.

On top of that the weekend is really the only time such a challenge is feasible at all. So it was either yesterday or tonight it’d launch. And the night of the episode is a worse idea.

Yikes

We’re supposed to close up in just a few minutes but I’m not seeing much submission wise!

Don’t forget to turn yours in LIKE, NOW.

I would have reminded earlier but my power has been out since about 9:30.

We’ll give a little extra time on this one because of that. But not much. Say, 7:30 PM CST. That’s roughly in ½ an hour.

This is really probably not even nearly censored enough. I’ll have to tag even this prompt NSFW.

Today’s 24 Hour Non Pony Challenge is… sweet freakin’ jesus… it’s… The Ultimate Orgy!

That’s right it’s time for everything from all the things you know to do the do to each other!

You’ve got 24 Hours to draw as many things shagging as many things as possible!

You can of course break it up into smaller submissions if you prefer but in this case I think I’d recommend doing one big piece.

Ponies ARE of course allowed, it’s just that they’re not required for this, as usual with non-pony challenges.

Hopefully you guys will have a lot of fun with this one XD let your perverse sides run totally wild!

See you here tomorrow at 7PM CST to post the results!
