Try doing it all with the standard round hard and soft round brushes first, then redo a few areas with textured brushes where you think they'd really help. Many of your edges are still remarkably hard.

Photobashing is still a tool, regardless of all the controversy - if you couldn't do this without it then you'll still have a hell of a time doing it with it. The areas that are painted in are going to contrast with the fine detail and precision of the photos - so if it's not properly done it'll feel all the more a glaring difference. Maybe try a simpler piece? Single figure, simple lighting?
