I like it ! but I still believe you had better compositions in the first sketches you posted , anyways you are doing an excellent work on a complex image.
critics:
the image get heavier in value on the top part and that affects a bit the depth giving a flat image feeling despite all the light rim lights contrasts, a good way of solving this could be flipping the dark values on the lower area and making it progressively light towards the top of the canvas , that will also make the tittle pop a little better.
I hope it helps somehow,good luck! the last day is here!
I forgot to mention , that you should have some technique to check the values, I dont know if you are doing that but ones of the tricks is :
create a layer on top and fill with pure white or pure black , change the mode of the layer to 'color' mode. switch on and off the layer to see the values (how heavy or light the areas are , to check shading reads ,etc)
