You are very right for adding some depth to the sky, and I'll add some details on the trees soon !
Thank you !

You managed the red halo very well on the head ! But again, I believe maybe you should have made a brighter light on the sword, since the metal is a very reflective surface, it should be much clearer. The "shirt" zone on his arm, too, the red spot looks more like a wound than a light. Same for the jewel on the sword.
Despite that, I like what you did with the background atmosphere, the expression and the eyes <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/> (I also love that Dark Link is actually looking more like a shadow than a person - it reminds me of the final boss of Link's Awakening that I adore ^^)

I have read the next chapters, and I'm afraid that all I can say is :

Please continue

Also, I fell in love with Appletree and I wish I had some time to fanart him ç_ç
