Fluttershy as Tinkerbell is just so suiting, though I think Fluttershy would have to be just a bit more sassy to really get the Tinkerbell spirit going. Besides Tinkershy here I was pleased to see all sorts of legends, fairy tales, and nursery rhymes today, some that I had long since forgotten myself or had never even heard of in the case of ones that came from other countries. It was quite a learning experience I must say!
For today's haul we managed to pull in 113 ponies which brings us up to 2113 ponies in total. Onwards to the 3k mark! With the momentum you guys have we should reach it in no time.
With today's prompt we have finally reached the midpoint for the NATG everyone! First off I have to give a big thank you to everyone who has participated so far, whether it was for a single day, all the days or somewhere in between. Thanks to all of you this has been one of our most successful NATGs in the past couple years, with our daily totals not slipping below 100 so far while others did so around the day 10 mark.
As such, tonight's prompt is a classic fun one that is a carry over from Phoe's days doing the NATG. Phoe always did love videogames so today's prompt is our classic Draw a ponyfied version of your favorite book, game, ect / Draw a pony sharing their favorite thing with another pony.

5 Equestria Daily Artist Training Grounds 2020 14a - Meto30
Prompt 14, "Draw a ponified fairy tale / legend", seemed to imply that the original tale must be non-pony(so that it could be ponified); I decided to twist the prompt so that requirement won't hamper the flow of narrative. My response is that of an Equestrian legend, Star Swirl the Bearded. In the latter pages of ATG2018 Star Swirl the Bearded heard of Tiandriel, Twilight, and Sunset's plan to track down the Sirens, and asked to accompany them, as Star Swirl felt responsible for the plight of both the Sirens and their human victims, seeing as he was the one who banished the Sirens to the human world. Sunset here discusses that event, the circumstances of Star Swirl's banishment spell and the use of the human world as a "dumping ground" for dangerous Equestrian magic.

After having pricked her hoof on the spindle a cursed spinning wheel, the princess suddenly fell into a deep sleep, which would have lasted for 100 years. Luckily unbeknownst to her, she had a handsome prince coming to her rescue with his true love's kiss that would ultimately break the spell for good and they would live happily ever after!

26 Starlight Glimmer in Die Sterntaler - Daimando
For this one, I thought of the Brothers Grimm in a nod to "Die Sterntaler," or the Star Taler, or Star Money. In that story, a little orphan girl gave away everything she had due to her altruistic nature. As a reward for her generosity, she was rewarded by the stars with a new shift of the finest linen, plus enough money to be rich for the rest of her life. Here, we have a take on a variation I saw when I was a kid, based on a picture that an artist did.
The main difference is that Starlight Glimmer(Or rather herself as a filly) is the child who gave everything away, and would be rewarded for her generosity. In order to make this shot feel magical, I had to go with a monochromatic color scheme on the background, all while rendering the moon and stars with a noticeable glow. If I get enough demand, I may do a storybook-like variation of this involving the characters of my MLP Universe.

Today our heroineis stuck in her tower... must be pretty boring... and she can't visit the barber. Maybe in modern versions of this fairy tale she's stuck in there because of a pandemic... I hope she has enough toilet paper.

37 Purple Pony Purim - dzamie
Haman, played here by Trixie, has noticed that Mordecai, played by Twilight, has not bowed down to her. In fact, she refuses to do so. Trixie is unimpressed by her morals, and plans to murder every single Jew for this. I guess in this version, Spike would be Esther?
Y'know, this probably looks really concerning without context.

The Summer Sun Celebration comes around, Princess Luna is feeling left out and being sullen, and some fey little pony calling himself "Puck" approaches Princess Celestia offering to get Luna off her back and have a little fun. One thing leads to another, things get a little out of control, and next thing you know Luna is magically in love with Trixie who's been turned into a donkey.

Rainbow is getting excited by her spooky story, but Starlight isn't quite feeling it.
First time drawing 2 ponies instead of 1 for one of these, and it took way too long. Tried to experiment a bit with expressions here.

and Jill came tumbling after.

El Silbón, El Silbador, The Whistler. He carries his fathers bones on his sack, and if he catches you, you will suffer the same fate. You can rest if you hear him close, cuz he is miles away... but beware if you hear his whistle in the distance... HE IS ALWAYS MUCH CLOSER THAN YOU THINK.

I've been reading Fallout Equestria with some friends and Mac is regarded as a war hero and legend. I tried to find the actual quote on his statue plaque, but I couldn't so I settled on a quote that my friend Faith? came up with.

93 Legendary - Frith
I had not drawn Twilight in her future full-power form and since I figure she could be considered a living legend, all I'd need would be to depict her looking powerful. Then I saw the end-credits drawing of Celestia from the Movie.

Based off the scene in Red Riding Hood where the hunter cuts open the wolf to save the people the wolf ate and replaced them with stones, all whole the wolf slept. I don't know and doubt there are hunters in MLP, so I replaced him with AJ.
102 Are you a fairy? - EnigmaDoodles
Not really based on any specific fairy tale, but I felt like it fit the prompt! Radiant Hope, a lonely little girl, discovers a creature with butterfly wings and immediately assumes he's one of the fairies she's always believed in. Unbeknownst to her, he's actually the prince of a fear manipulating race of shadow creatures. Together, they form a lovely friendship, and maybe even something more...
Sure seems like a fairy tale, doesn't it?

It's Touhou's own rokurokubi, Sekibanki! In Japanese mythology, rokurokubi were women under a dark curse, whose heads would detach and float around on their own while they were sleeping. The ones with extending necks preferred pranks and lamp oil, while the ones with detached heads (nukekubi) went for blood!
