I like the diamond idea and the positioning of the man being beamed up. You can tell he's thrashing around, bewildered, and defending himself against what lies ahead, and the rubble being beamed up along with him adds to the dramatic effect. This drawing got my attention immediately. Tried to upvote but got a strange error popup. I tried. Also, thanks for the walkthrough of the different stages of making this drawing. Turning it into a tutorial of sorts was a nice touch.
