A lot of Cozy Glow for this one and used to such great effect! She really is quite the bundle of sunshine, isn't she? I've got to say this has been one of my favorite prompts this time around as there have been some pretty amazing entries with quite a bit of creativity when it came to stretching the prompts. Well done my friends, I hoped you enjoyed your chance to draw something a bit more sinister this time around.
For today we brought in a 124 ponies which brings us to the 2k mark as we now have a total of 2002 ponies! Keep it up everyone, you're almost halfway there!
For today's prompt I was inspired by the stories our ponies would tell within their own universe whether it be legends or the likes of Daring Do. I thought a good bit of exercise for today would then be for you to Draw a ponifed fairy tale, nursery rhyme or legend / Draw a pony telling a ghostly story.

7 ED: NATG 2020 Day 13 - Addelum
Discord, for all the trouble he's given everyone in the eight seasons he's been on the show, is a necessary storytelling device: the omnipotent incorrigable frenemy with a moderating nature. Pray you don't get on his bad side.
10 Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds 2020 13a - Meto30
Prompt 13 is Pony with a dark side, which I interpreted as Pony with a dark past. Sunset of course is the pony in question, and she deals with her understanding of her present existence, as an extended process of atonement. I also present here my headcanon that the Pony Mane Six/Seven/Eight are (at least mentally) more mature than the Humane Seven, which by extension would make Sunset even a bit more older than her human friends. In this Meto-fied universe, Sunset already has the Equestrian equivalent of the bachelor's degree.

Prompt 13 is Pony with a dark side, which I interpreted as Pony with a dark past. Sunset of course is the pony in question, and she deals with her understanding of her present existence, as an extended process of atonement. This is not to say that what she's doing is a task explicitly given to her; it's merely that, as I interpret things (the Meto-verse shall we say?), Sunset sees it that way.
14 Day 13: Pwease Mr. Obama - ArkaDarp
what is it about Obama that makes people write such raw dialogue for him
19 NATG2020 - Day 13 - Evil - DarkDabula
"Oh golly, when she is your friend, you don't need enemies !"
21 Golden Lace: The Mean-Spirited Filly - Daimando
With this entry, the time has come to bring in a new OC: Golden Lace. And you thought Diamond Tiara was bad.
The filly daughter of Gold and Silver Banks, Golden Lace is a Unicorn student of the School for Gifted Unicorns. Despite her beautiful exterior, Golden Lace's heart is more cold than gold. She enjoys mocking and belittling her fellow co-students, especially the Unicorn Six and Wanda Young. And to make matters worse, every time Princess Celestia attempts to punish Golden Lace for her mean-spirited comments, the Banks parents threaten the Princess of the Sun with the closure of the school should she follow through with her punishment towards Lace.
But her self-centered exterior hides a weakness, and that is hinted in her cutie mark.

29 Shadowbolt Dashie - Yelowcrom
So I was supposed to draw a really mean Dashie because it's her dark side but I ended up doing this qt ^^
31 cutsie evil - flutterkind
33 Light Room, Dark Room - NotADeliciousPotato
ATG Day 13: Draw a pony with a dark side.
Derpy sits in the doorway between a lit room and an unlit one.
Hopefully she'll get out of the way in case someone wants to flip the light switch in the opposite room.

35 You're don't stand a chance - Khaki Cap
Ruby Shores College, the home of strict and some heartless popular ponies. Such as Cannon DeMinors roomate, Criss Cross (apologies to anyone if there is already one pony named "Criss Cross").
Another time she appeared in one of my pictures. The first one was in my sketch comics.

36 Sketch 26 day: ATG dark side and bad bone - helsaabi
Silly Lyra who steals Arm from Overlord's arm.
44 Die Nachtmaehr - Ikederp
"Princess, close your eyes,
calm, peacefully fall asleep.
And if one day I can't be with you,
I'll sneak into your dream to you,
calm, peacefully fall asleep."
Schandmaul - Prinzessin

47 Emoshy wisk in the mist - Taurson
NATG 2020 Day13: today's prompt was to draw a pony with a dark side so I drew emo shy in the wisk above.
48 - Soobel
Grey eye have plot to cope Canterlot and elliminate all the alicorns, so he are good candidate to this round.
49 - deletethis
50 Allegiance - NATG - Sprite
"Yes, that's a good answer, my little heiress."
Been a while since I drew Nightmare Moon AU Sprite. But the prompt wanted a darker pony version thing. Have a Sprite pledging her loyalty to Nightmare Moon.

51 Eyewitness - MLT
The impact of a large comet can be witnessed for miles, including by those you'd wish to avoid...
52 The most evilest of evils - Zeal Crown
54 Day 13 - Dark Side/Bad to the Bone - Caneighdian
Someone tried to hide the peanut bites from Cadance once.
Once.
Once.
55 Wanda Young as Dark Nyx - Daimando
If you are seeing this, then Equestria Daily has granted me permission to showcase this drawing of my OC Wanda Young.
As a bonus drawing, I decided to draw my OC Wanda Young as her Superpowered Dark Side: Dark Nyx. As a nod to the Disney Princesses and to Black Lady of Sailor Moon, Wanda is empowered by evil and has become a demonic queen of darkness. Her powers in this state eclipse the Alicorns and, in rare cases, the Windigos. While this is an ideal dark form for Wanda, it is a prototype. The full version would have Wanda as an adult to really hammer home the nod to Sailor Moon's Black Lady.
By the way, if you noticed, the moon is missing the Pony of Shadows. Take a wild guess on who's really controlling Wanda.

60 Pinkamena - EbonyCrystal1986
Even Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter, can't be happy ALL the time. I'm sure her friends especially remember the very first time she snapped as do so many others....hopefully it won't happen again anytime soon~
61 Well, you'll FEEL better... - Termyotter
Booming market for disease cures these days. You just know these two would be front and center with something totally useless. Remember, whatever medicine you're selling has to cure multiple things or else who would bother with it!
"This cures ONLY terminal hoof-rot? Hard pass. Come back when it can do that and make me invulnerable!"
Don't worry, there's an easy to read disclaimer!

65 Why Are You Asking Rainbow Dash? - dzamie
I wonder how many people in the fandom came in too late to know Cupcakes. I wonder how many of them don't realize that Pinkie was peppy and cracking jokes all the way through, rather than her flat-maned Depressed Pinkie personality.
Had a lot of fun playing with the shadows layer.

71 Sinister Student - Litrojia
I still have really mixed feelings on her. But hey, I hadn't drawn her before, so why not now?
80 2020 ATG Day 13 - Sugar-Loop
Flurry Heart in her teenage angst phase. Her favorite store is Hot Topic.
82 Red Means Bad.... Right? - Jade Stone
Seems to be a red eyed mare which is most likely looking at your magical cube that she apprehended and the cube is reminiscent of a cube from a comic book series, Why? Dude I need to stop asking myself these questions so I can stop answering them.
86 Bad to the Bone - Pone-Dancer
I was digging around different people's OCs with little hope until I discovered HaHabinger's OC Clover! As soon as I saw her hat everything clicked into place. I made her body shape tall just like her ref said she was, but I did add some body freckles on her shoulder to match her face. Hope that's okay!
91 Flutterbat to the Bone - Skypause
As always, critique welcome.
I really tried to do a new/different imitation of some things I liked in what I've seen from some of you all. It wasn't perfect but it was cool.
First time ever drawing a motorcycle...

93 Hard Rock Fluttershy - SOENJAY
Might not be original, but I wanted to dust off the old skills (or lack thereof) at drawing EqG characters.
96 NATG Day 13 - Pony with a dark side - Lagarto
When the princess is your boss... but you buy makis of her anyway...
98 can't be trusted - Cornerback Fluttershy
105 Shadow - Frith
A dark side of a pony requires shadow and whoa, does the source material _not_ provide references or what? So I used my Applejack bank for reference, with a halogen ceiling light as a light source.
109 Duality of Ponk - Faith?
110 Neon Lightning - SazerLite
She really was awesome in her own way. Also took a few creative liberties with the logo.
112 the *dark* side - Catwell
117 Shadow of the Past - SupermarineSpitfire
Starlight Glimmer is an intriguing character that manages to satisfy both prompts. Here we see her haunted (for lack of a better word) by whom she used to be.
120 - Twilightning Storm
121 Nightmare Amber - TaichiKeaton
Before she was reformed, Amber was a nightmare force who escaped from her eternal prison when Tai was rummaging around in the basement with his friends in the manor where their friend, Albel Nightwhisper lived.
She fought the other nightmares, determined to claim and protect the one who freed her, even if it meant separating him from his friends, her precious Tai...
