All of your work is amazing and to see something like this shows the potential to do anything. I've been trying to branch out myself by doing more character art but so far I'm not too happy with them.
And let me tell you, character work can be a bitch. Especially if you have a specific idea of the style you're going for and it's not working out. For a long, long, long time (longer than I'd like to admit, really) I tried to draw in the Japanese Anime/Manga style, and was never ever happy with my work. However, once I switched to the more Disney cartoon look, I've gotten results I'm very proud of. Basically what I'm trying to say is that though branching out is great, and I definitely recommend it, you should also try to find your niche. The style that defines who you are, and what you can truly, and proudly display and own.
But I can see how the organic flow of character design could be foreign after such mechanical drawings. But if you apply that same mechanical mindset to your character build up, you may be surprised at how well your characters come out.
Every one of my characters starts out with a specific structural make up.
