everyone starts off that way.
he's right though, try getting inspiration from places other than games and shows
find an artist you like, and study their work. what makes their designs more original than yours other than the fact that they did it first?
take elements from different timezones and try to combine them into a piece without making it look overly cliche
tl;dr you really need to stop backpedaling out of improving yourself here
start from scratch on your next project(that means no references older works of yours, and no copying something pixel for pixel)
