"Day 18: Draw a pony out of their comfort zone/Draw a pony being brave.
It's no surprise that IceBeak is afraid of sharks. She's tried to get over it but its far too difficult. Sea Lilly has shown her that sharks aren't all big and scary, even letting her see them at an aquarium. But this time Lilly wants Icy to experience sharks out in the wilds of the ocean, petrifying for poor Icy, but outside of the rare occasion, many of the sharks around Mount Aris and Seaquestria are fairly small and completely harmless! To be fair, Lilly wanted to show Icy whale sharks, since they are very gentle, but they are also really big too.
So I apologize if this one was late. I had it pegged to be done yesterday, but a storm hit my area and we had no power the whole night. It didn't come back on until close to 1:30 in the morning, so I wasn't able to finish on time. Thankfully, this NATG doesn't have any major deadlines, so you can work on the entries at your leisure, so I spent the morning getting this done (thank Novo for Krita's auto-save feature). I'll have Day 19's drawing up later today, so sit tight! "
