I don't like it at all either.
How it can be much better? Fix the depth, Captain Sparrow needs more depth. Also work with gradients and contrast.
Give the smudging better contrast. Also use some C4D or brush work, its a big piece and needs a lot more than some smudging.
I see you have tried some things, but these are triviality, compared to the size of this piece.
You could have started with vertical signature, then expand the boundries while expanding your ideas.
Flow is amazing tho.
