MLP Newbie Artist Training Grounds Alumni: Week 117 Wrap Up

In the cold north, a shadow stirs. A dark presence stretches across Equestria (no, not King Sombra)... it's powerful dark magics have leeched into the land itself, and have found purchase in the soils where we have laid to rest those who have already passed on. The Lich Pony's terrifying grasp has them now, and the army he is raising will destroy the world, unless our greatest heroes can march north and destroy his power... wait... no... that's a video game.

No, these undead are far less organized, but in some cases, no less deadly. From the lone ghoul raised by mistake, to the (surprisingly) coordinated back-up dancers, the dead walk. The creatures of your nightmares (no, not Nightmare Moon) who march upon the world. What was merely the realm of horror movies before is now reality, and the hordes march on, leaving dread and chaos (no, not Discord) in their wake.

But the time has come, to face your fears. To stare death in its empty eyes and know that you can overcome it. To know that the world may change (no, not Chrysalis), but ponies will prevail! Let's take a look at the first-hoof evidence presented by our brave artists who dared confront the horrors of the trotting dead!
