What I think (and take it with a grain of salt) is that your painting skills are already pretty good. What you're lacking is drawing skills. Parts of your images look pretty flat, or weird because the underlying drawing has mistakes.
Like the mermaid, for example. Foreshortening doesn't come across, because too much of her belly is visible, while it shouldn't have been visible at all. Another example is the T-Rex looks unbalanced, because his left leg is at a weird angle and is way further back than it should be. In order to maintain the center of mass it should be closer to the viewer and it should be oriented the same as the body - in 3/4.
You should definitely check out lessons on perspective and anatomy, in order to improve your drawing skills. They are what holding back your painting skills.
