This is my Christmas present for those of you who have been kind enough to let me use your wonderful characters!
Background (c) Nathan Fowkes
Of course, Bopsie gets to use this first, since she requested it, but once that's done everyone else can have it!
This image is a little different; I'm NOT editing it for you guys. I love you all, really, but I'm not going to spend all Christmas changing the gender of every single horse in the picture, adding feathers in the mane or whatever. This is the image that you get. Well, Ma'er's mane will be long and Edeva's mane won't be curly... and the horses won't be colored in, but other than that- this is what you get!
I'm also changing my image style, I know, again, with this pic. If you ask for a "lineless copy" or one "without lines" guess what? You're going to get lines! But these lines are different than the others; they are the same color of the horse's shadow. (A lined image has black lines surrounding the horses) How do you color this? It's simple (if you're using MSPaint):
1) Use the color-picker tool, the eye-drop lookin' thing, and choose the color that the line already is. Say the line around colt's back is black but you want it to be brown. Well, once you use the color picker your front/top color will be black.
2) Do step 1 again in order to get the color that you want to change the black to, only this time, right-click the color that you plan on changing using. This will put the second color in the back/bottom color. When I'm doing this, I like to say "The black (clicks black) becomes brown (right-clicks brown), and go Ed!" (The "go Ed!" part is from an Animaniacs episode)
3) Finally, once you have your two colors chosen, choose the eraser tool. While right-clicking, drag the tool over the colt's back. This will change the black line to brown.
It's really not THAT hard to color in a good image people. It's not. All you have to do is have the know-how, which you have no excuse for if you have the ability to PM me, and the want to. This image is the most complex one that I've ever done, and you ain't treating it right I will report it. If you don't know how to do something, ask me! I know my way around Paint!

Farewell thoughts;
I have to sit back and enjoy this render because of all the work I put into it. This was the largest number of horses that I had ever rendered for one image, and finding them all was a pain, but I think I made it work. It's a pretty decent looking image, too. The background, however, is what I really have to love. God bless Nathan Fowkes and his wonderful works.
If you want to use, message Blazetail. I sent her all of my blank images and she can hook you up.
