Description I remember the times when we were only little foals, playing out in the rain without anything to worry about, our world was a big grassy plain, a never ending peace, at least that was what we thought.
The rainy afternoons were our favorites, the ones when we would sneak off our mothers' sight and play until we tired up and lay on the wet grass and how our mothers would get upset over our 'delinquent' behavior.
Oh, how I laugh at those times, before everything changed; We grew up and our land burned down. The herd formed smaller groups to escape the dragons that took everything we loved and cared for. When I, you and Zuni left our home, we planned to come back one day and take back what is ours. But then we had that argument and got separated, each of us left to run on their own. Eventually, we understood we were being fools, but too late, Zuni had already fallen for our enemies. I remember how much we cried for our loss, we promised we'd never be separated again,... what has happened to that promise, Alcor? Where are you now that I need you the most?
In these times, I remember how good it felt to gallop the lands without a care in the world and that those thoughts are Only Mere Memories now.

Adhara fades back into her memories while imprisoned.

Zuni was one of the members of Alcor and Adhara's herd, she was also a unicorn and they were inseparable. She was younger than them and she wasn't born at the portrayed time. I think they were only about 3-4 months old here.
This whole picture came to be because it was raining and I love rain! Also, I'm not used to draw foals and thought that drawing them as foals playing in the rain would be a good chance to tell their background story.

Suggestions are appreciated as I don't really know foal anatomy very well(I think drawing them is actually more difficult than drawing adults).

This is awesome! I lov ethe pegasus. The only thing I would say, try to make them look a little skinnier, and the foal with the blue on it has really muscular front legs. Mabey make the legs longer and a little scrawnier.

This is great!
