Great work, to keep progressing on your art I would suggest working on Youtube tutorials with techniques that you find aesthetically pleasing and that you want to integrate into your style
your sprite work is amazing
great work and nice imagery, one suggestion don't put yourself down the 'incompetence' tag even if you're joking. People will gauge where you are at and you should just present yourself as an graphic designer.
dont discourage yourself!
Good start I suggest that you keep developing photoshop skills and learn from more tutorials for techniques outside of your comfort zone if you truly want to get better.
