I LOVED making this one, especially streaming it. At first I struggled with the background, but after a while it really made the piece feel so much more lively than I hoped for. Plus, who doesn't want a diapered Trixie and Starlight post baby picnic action? ;)

It's a very nice picture~
I do find myself feeling compelled to mention the lighting, though. You treat the setting sun as a nice, diffused light source on the background, but on their bodies and especially faces it's like they have very directed spotlights on them. Nothing else shares the yellow-orange coloring to the same degree besides the clouds, which one would expect to have the greater contrast due to their volumetric and reflective qualities (being white and all).
There's a lot of room for artistic merit (the thought that the lighting on their faces is similar to the color of their diapers crossed my mind), but since Starlight and Trixie seem to be following different lighting rules it doesn't look like it fits with the other picture elements.
Looking forward to the next picture, though ^^

The reason why the yellow coloring doesn't look like light is because the skin doesn't behave like skin. Skin (and to some extent fur) doesn't just have a light and dark side like in your picture, but goes through a whole jumble of colours on both sides, especially under sunlight. If you want to target-improve on this subject, I recommend drawing faces and limbs from life with a pencil&eraser on paper.
I wonder if, at any time, Trixie tries to help Starlight feel better about her past by doing things like this? Just getting Starlight out and having a simple time together where they can feel both innocent and little. Both able to denjoy a time before they had acquired their not-so-good reputations.
