Quick question: is that the grip a soldier would use to draw or to sheath a sword? I would guess the grip would be overhand. Before background issues, I'm having trouble believing the anatomy, the gesture of the figure.

I'm posting your original resource photos here; note the difference between the arm in your original photo and the arm in your underpainting.
