I'm writing a crit because I really like the story behind this.
I really like Scoots in this picture. I like her eyes and you can clearly see the desperation in her face. I also like that you've spaced her a little from Dash to give them both a better silhouette and make what's going on in the picture clearer.
I feel the forest background could use some work (look at me saying this when I myself have recently been struggling with forest scenes). I feel there should be more to the image than trees and rocks. I also feel the trees could be given some interesting shapes as well. Trees rarely look so straight and uniform. As for things besides trees and rocks you could include things like underbrush, bushes, fallen leaves, ferns, mushrooms, pebbles, fallen branches, moss etc etc.
I think all that really needs to be done to improve the image is to look at a lot of reference of forest photos and see what kind of things are among the trees and what kind of shapes the trees themselves make. As well as how their roots connect to the ground.
Or on the other hand you could look at references from the show itself and see what kind of techniues the artists of the show used to simplify the forest and how they handle tree shapes and things in between the trees.
Oh one last thing. I would crop the picture a little on the right side of it. I feel there's a little too much empty space there. You could actually cut the tree on the right in half and you'd have a much stronger composition.
Regardless, I like the picture!
The colors and shading are near perfect. The only things that could use some work are the shape of Rainbow's tail and there should of been a variety of the trees in the forest. Other than those two factors you did great job on this piece, it is very nice and worth a favorite, watch, and llama.
