Description:

Auto-imported from derpibooru.org (1886104)

Lineart done by surrealist/pony artist DocWario:


Original coloring by DocWario:


He asked "who's gonna color this" and I thought to myself… "Welllll…"

Colored with COREL DRAW 6 for WINDOWS 95, only 23 years later and on Windows 7.

I loved using this on my dad's PC as a kid, for reasons that should be self-evident! :D

Tip #1: If the installation program appears to freeze, check the installation directory for new files being written. The installation may not actually have crashed, just the interface. Simply wait it out for ~10 minutes.
Tip #2: Convert files to .bmp first before importing. This program is so ancient, it doesn't understand what "jpg" and "png" are! Microsoft Paint will do fine to convert to a 24-bit .bmp
Tip #2.5: To color in lineart, first convert to monochrome-bitmap .bmp to get rid of gray-tones, then convert to 24-bit .bmp so you can color it. Back in '95, there was no "fill in 15% of similar colors" function.
Tip #3: In Corel Draw Photo Paint, you will have to choose 'Save as' "Windows Bitmap", NOT the two default settings available (OS/1 Bitmap, OS/2 Bitmap), since no one today uses those.
Tip #4: Always import files with drag and drop. The "open file" option in the menu does not work on Windows 7 and will softlock the program.
Tip #5: DON'T close the toolbars. I don't know if you can bring them back.
