I wonder why he wasn't included in the lineart coloring page. I find it a bit odd that they would exclude him.

To do this, you need photoshop cs2 or cs3 (cs3 recommended because of it's additional tools) or paint with about 5 hours to burn.  It only takes maybe 20-30 minutes in photoshop, but in paint, I'm guessing about 5 hours.  Maybe more. <_<

You could try my computer friendly version if you don't have Photoshop.

My hand still hurts from doing that picture. I first had to take one of landbeforetimelover's screenshots on that old website, get the colors, then draw the patterns on the character's skin. After that, used Photoshop to color them in. Then the "fun" part. I had to enlargen the picture, and look over every part of the picture and, using MS Paint, manually recolor the areas so they aren't visible in the larger version of the pic. Then came the shading and lighting, which wasn't too bad. The most painful part was definitely enlargening and doing that editting before adding in the shadows and lighting effects.

There is one error in your "computer friendly" version.  When you go to color Littlefoot, you color both his top and bottom side at the same time.  Easily fixable, but it's pretty unusable like that unless you make more lines yourself after downloading it.

Well, technically, that's not a website, that's just a page on one of my sites.

I was just going to provide a link to the main page of the website, but decided to be more specific and link to the gallery section instead. It's still a website in my opinion.

Now, I have re-uploaded a fixed version of the image. It may look like the old image depending on your browser setting, etc., but re-caching it should fix this. Also, I edited the other image like so:

This is mainly for those that do not have Photoshop or some other fancy image editor.
