Been a few years since I saw your sketchbook! Such amazing progress, looking so pro : ) I totally get you about rendering & patience, I think you went plenty far enough though, it looks sophisticated enough without being overworked. Maybe those red transitions around the shadow shapes are a bit too strong? Supposed to be subsurface scattering type of thing? It's too weak to be purposefully stylised transitions, and too strong to be realistic skin. Whatever tho! the image still looks 100% awesome.
Maybe more of the flame glow on the skin and a few cast shadows from the armour to really sell those flames, but yea it totally works as it is : )
