Description
Previous part: This is the first part xDNext part: [link]
Bopping his head to the tune stuck in his head Woo Boost travelled across the earty lands that were surrounded by tall walls made of rock. His manes danced to his movement and his short legs bounced with each step he took. He didn't pay any attention to the late hour and just kept on going. For him this was probably the only upside of being alone, he was completely free to do whatever he liked. Not that he wanted to be alone just for that reason, in fact he hated it. Nevertheless he was always in a good mood and walked on. The dark blue sky was beginning to be conceiled by dark grey clouds. Boost looked up and shrugged his shoulders, he wouldn't care if it started to rain. As if taking his opinion as an order rain started to pour down from the sky. His coat drenched in an instant but his thick spikey mane remained upwards. The sound of the rain pounding on the ground was defeaning and the only thing to be heard. Finding the cold water not as okay as he though Boost walked over to the rocky hills for a little bit of shelter. His ears perked to the side as he thought he heard something. He looked at where the sound had came from but there was nothing to be seen but rocks. He tilted his head to the side in confusion. "I could have sworn I heard something just now...", he said to himself. Just when he wanted to continue walking something jumped towards him and he was just in time to dodge whatever was attacking him. Adrenaline pumping through his veigns, his eyes searched for his attacker. A loud snarl raised above the noise of the rain and Boost turned his head to see a big dark wolf facing him. He didn't have much time to think about what to do as the animal launched towards him for a second time. Just nearly the young stallion was able to jump away and dodge the wolf's claws. He was scared, Boost wan't weak or anything but he was small and an easy target for predators. The lack of experience dealing with them was not helping him either. Just as he wanted to lash out at the wolf a voice boomed through the rain, "GET BACK!" Obediently Boost stepped back in a reflex. A large darkbrown stallion jumped in front of him sending water flying up everywhere. He whinnied loudly and scraped his hoof through the wet earth. His stance was threatening and seemed like something official. The wolf now focused on him rather than on Boost and jumped forward. Instead of jumping away the stallion reared up and planted his hoof in the wolf's face sending him flying a few metres back. Boost watched in amazement making his jaw drop literally. The stallion whinnied again and pounded his hooves on the ground loudly as a threat. The wounded wolf snarled but knew this wasn't a fight he would be smart to pick. As the wolf ran away the stallion turned towards Boost. "You okay?", he asked simply in a deep voice. "Yeah I guess so", the small stallion replied with a stupefied look on his face. "That was amazing!!", he then said loudly with big smile. The stallion who had already turned around to walk away looked back with a weird look on his face. "Ehh thanks?", he replied hesistantly but then smirked when he saw the little stallion's face. "What is a guy like you doing here? Of all places to be this has got to be the worst one", he laughed finding the little stallion quite amusing. "Where did you learn to do that?", Boost asked completely ignoring the bigger stallion's question. "Wait, you wanna learn to do that?", The stallion said with his eyebrows pulled up. "Yes could you teach me? That was soo cool!", Boost's voice was loud and cheerful and his eyes practically shined when he looked at the dark brown stallion. The stallion looked at him and then just burst out into laughter, this guy was so strange. "You know what? Maybe I can."
Yes when I said you would see this guys soon, I meant SOON xD
Here we have the beginning of the story involving Sanchay, Aravali and Woo Boost!
So yeah it's Aravali just doing his job and Woo Boost finding himself in a sticky situation. Luckily Aravali is there to save the day!
I had a lot fun and hardships with this drawing but I do adore the outcome of it!
Well not an awful lot more to say about this except enjoy and please oh please let me know what you think!

Rain! I've never really tried drawing rain before; do you find it it difficult or is it relatively easy? Their eyes stand out in the rain quite nicely as well as their white markings. I'm not very good with frontal views either, but it looks like you handled it well. Also I like how dark you've shaded everything because it helps to convey the message that it is stormy.
And I hope you don't mind me giving you a little constructive criticism now and then. I just like giving artists a few tips to help them improve or point out things they might not notice. Anyways here's something I noticed about the composition: Both your characters appear to be in the center which is something I've been told doesn't make a strong composition. Have you heard of the rule of thirds? [link]
Try holding your hand or arm against say the left side to hide some of the background. If you crop off some of it, the artwork seems more pleasing to the eye if you do that.

Yes rain! I find it very easy to make rain, Just get yourself a small white round brush and make the settings so that they'll be scattered and vary in size. Cover your drawing with them and then let loose the motion blur. I also make several layers of rain and use smaller dots for the rain that would be farther back.
And thank you so much for your lovely comment I always love reading your comments
And thank you for the feedback I've actually never heard of the rule of thirds before. I read the information about it, very informative ^^ I'll take that into account in my nex drawing, it actually makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Thanks again, you always help me improve!
