Hi, nice work! I really like the colors, they're really catchy! Also really nice how you placed the characters in the scene, it tells a story, which is great! :3
Now for improving your landscape painting I'd advise you to take a closer look on atmospheric perspective and the values of fore- middle- and background for depth. You did already hint it, with the background fading into the sky, but I think you could push it even further and make the foreground darker and more contrasted. I think what bothers me a bit is the tress - they are so dark against this really light background that they grab attention they shouldn't have. The attention of this image should be on the characters and the crystals. With every image, also landscapes you should ask yourself where is the focal point, what is the first that people should notice, and make this space the most contrasted and detailed.
Hope this helped, keep it up! Environments can be really hard to get started with, and you picked a really hard one to start :D

•i cant see much wrong with this,, it’s gorgeous tbh 
but maybe adjust the sky’s colour so that it doesn’t blend in with the crystals(?) so much? (unless it was intentional!!) i’d suggest maybe a light purple gradient :0!!
