Dude, It might just be me, but I'd say do what YOU want to do, the thing is, you're at your best when you do what you like, you improve because your drive is your own interest, if you start paying too much attention to what people like, you'll eventually come to consider your art as a chore instead of a passion.
My most demanding and difficult renders are the ones with the least likes, they took time and pushed me to learn new tricks but the most important part of it all is that I was happy making them and eventually helped me become better at this whole daz thing. I honestly like your work as is, as long as you put your due diligence in and keep making renders at your own pace, with your own style, people will take notice and value your contribution and eventually you can make renders for the masses when you feel like it while employing all the tricks you learned doing what you like!
Good luck man
