I have no advice as my experience level with the chromatic is lower than
yours...
But on reading Mr. Smith's assessment of your use of chords vs single notes,
I have to say that in the first song you posted, I could hear what he was
talking about...  But in the second song, the chordal parts seemed to work
for me.
 I guess we have to find out if a ... "diatonically influenced chromatic
style" exists or if you'll have to roll your own as you go!!

O.K., nuff runnin' my mouth. ears open now. A couple months ago probably, I
decided that I was going to become a chromatic player. So, I've been working
on it. I've been hard, hard, hard pressed for time for the last few weeks,
so not much time to work I've been working on chromatic in 20 minute spurts,
usually before bed.. I'm probably gonna be hard pressed for time, so I could
use some direction on maybe what I need to be working on, what works, what
does not work, etc.
Here's a couple of tunes:
