Being an artist is a tricky trade dude. Everybody can offer suggestions and advice on what you should do and how you should do it but in the end these sort of puzzles are yours to solve, as a creative unique individual. Though note, we all go through these struggles, and it's all part of the growth.
This might not relate to you, but something I found a while back was when I was doing my studies, a part of my brain was conscious of the fact that it was going to be posted and judged and i therefore tried to reach some skill level with them and almost neglected what I was learning. The reason i bring this up is because perhaps you are going through something similar, and that's why your afraid to go outside your comfort zone, in the off chance that the things will look shit and won't reach this 'level' you've set for yourself. Or maybe not, and i'm just being judgemental and you should ignore this lol.
Your path is your own, and you know deep down what's best and right for you, but you must always tackle your fears. It's what makes you progress. And to be honest, I would love to see some portfolio stuff from you dude. Your stuff is amazing and the way you handle colours, marks and values make me drool. (Those skin tone sin that latest portrait )
Whatever you choose to do, I look forward to seeing it! Stay strong dude, and keep it up.
