Thank you for your input Tias. I am doomed to do this. I will continue because it makes me happy. I'm curious, if they say "Art is in the eye of the beholder" then what can't you call art? Is a cave painting not art? Is a line in the sand not art? I'm not even putting up my best stuff anyways, I don't have a scanner, nor do I have a camera anymore, I do admit, my hands are shaky when it comes to drawing in GIMP, but it IS improving.
1. Putting a Photoshop filter over a preexisting picture doesn't make you an artist. The stuff that you didn't trace over is technically art, but it's not rally "good" art.
2. You aren't doomed to do anything. People have been trying to help you improve by explaining to you what's wrong with your artwork, but you refuse to listen. At this rate, you're on the fast path to becoming someone like Chris-chan or Chasethehedgehog. If you stopped being so egotistical and started listening to what others had to say, you might actually be a decent artist.
2a. Your stories aren't steampunk. They're just Victorian stories with anachronistic technology, and the anachronisms makes the story even worse. Most steampunk stories have the technology well-integrated into the setting.
2b. The Creedonian movement only exists in your mind.
3. Your hand-drawn stuff isn't any better than your MS Paint/Gimp stuff.
