You will only find "good" and "bad" in art if you consider it in the form of work. Being a form of work, it is always possible to consider it that way. Other details, coming from its nature of "art" are difficult to judge, since they heavily, if not entirely, rely on feelings. Work can be objectively studied in a much easier way. That does not mean we can consider 'standards' or 'artistic criteria', which are mostly subjective. Though, there are much simplier criteria that we can use. Time spent, efficiency, ammount of creativity, and so on..
The criteria will remain subjective, but on a different and acceptable level. We won't be able to define objectively the terms "better" and "worse", but we will be able to define a "good" and a "bad" which any honest person will agree with. Few seconds of works means nothing, it is bad. Copying brings very little creativity, but requires some time, it is good. Stealing requires nothing for the work itself, it is bad. (EDIT: Is copying THAT good ? Well, subjectively, we'd like to say no, but objectively, you've been working).
It explains post #3, by the way.
That, too me, seems to be a good way to consider the issue, what do you think about it ?

@@Varrack,
I think your example is a good idea, yet incorrect. The numbers are problematic; for example : something occurring in 0.000 001% of the cases should occurr 70 times with 7 billions of cases. It will only appear 0,07 times with 7 millions of cases.
I'm pretty sure Fire Twii didn't even see a million OCs, so it would be a lost cause to compare with mankind.
Also, I, too, want to show our friend here, that we can all find originality in our creations, even if they look like others'. However, we shouldn't be that naive. If someone appropriates her art, we need to help that person too. We can't just sit there, turning a blind eye, acting like everything is okay, when someone had to steal an identity to be with a group of people. Denying is not the way to go.

Then,may you find the originality you are looking for.
That being said, bases recoloring seems to be back. I just hope the concerned ones can find a true way to express themselves, even if it isn't original.

Oh, don't worry, I understand. It's just that, sometimes, being original is difficult. And instead of leaving without a message, they put their pride aside and chose to comment and show their appreciation of someone's work or arrival, even if they didn't find a way to be original. It's beautiful don't you think ?

What's the meaning of originality ?
You have 4 hours.

You don't have answers, you are stuck because you don't project things. We are not living machines, we are sentient beings. Money is wrong to you because you absurdly focus on it for everything. We are more than what money makes of us. Our work is more than a mean to get money.
If you actually left this way of thinking, and opened yourself to more absactive concepts, you'd understand. Money is nothing but abstractive ideas brought to life in one concrete body. It was always here. Criticizing it, and blaming it for our society issues is like blaming the brain for creating sad thoughts. It's missing the point.
It is you, and you only, that can elevate yourself high enough to see that. Work has always been more than the outcome it generates, or the people it benefits. Every concept which is so deeply linked to us prevails over money. But it takes work to see through concrete things of our everyday life. But as long as you don't want to open the road and move on, you will be stuck. I wish to give you answers, to call out from the other side of the road so that you might understand that there is more behind it. But you are the only one that can open the way.

I just didn't ask to be born though. That's one question I have always pondered on why I am here, like everyone else of course.
The best way to find answers is to ask the right questions. When it begins with a "why", it's often a lost cause. You know this joke kids make to their parents ? "Why A ? -Because B. Why B ? -Because C. Why C ? -Well..".
Anyway, don't feel worried about all of that. Understanding and accepting yourself is already a lot. Many would put that aside and live their lives in hypocrisy. What's next is up to you, it is a long way to go, but as long as you don't walk backwards, you will always find more answers. The questions often outnumber them, but they shouldn't be walls or holes on your road. They should only be a reason to keep moving, to find answers, as other questions are unveiled, assuring the continuity of the process.
Don't focus on the final objective, focus on your every thought and movement, for the only thing you will ever possess at the end of the road, is the memory of your journey, and what's left of yourself.

I hope you can find your way through this world. If you need help or answers, you can always PM me.

I don't know, I like sombra ! His pure evil intentions are an interesting part of the character.
You didn't mention what makes you like him though, what is it ?
There is no such thing as objectively "good" or "bad" in art!

About the "worse" and "better" part, what I meant was : We can set some criteria to decide whether something is good or bad, but, if we want to make comparisons, there will be an issue. Indeed, depending on the criteria, the results will change drastically, making the idea pointless.
I would have liked to keep going, but you have made some good points, and you showed a right idea. Many people tend to use words like "objective" too easily and it's always good to remind how sujective and conceptual is our reality. I think it's a better objective than talking about abstractive concepts that are hardly appliable in reality. So I won't add anything else, good luck !
