This is a problem distinct from the "good vs. original" problem. If your art bores you and you feel nothing for it, you still have work to do.
Technical skill is a good thing to have, because it allows you to draw a whole bunch of stuff that lacking that skill would prevent you from - but if you aren't using it to draw things you enjoy drawing, it's kind of pointless.
One of the best things I ever did for myself as an artist was to stop giving a damn about what I should be drawing - that is, things that are deep and complex and appropriate enough for other people to enjoy - and just draw the things that make me happy. If you really like dragons, fill your sketchbook up with dragons; if you want to draw super-technical schematics of airplanes, draw those dang airplanes.
If you think this is part of the problem, put those artists away for a bit, and look at the real things you're trying to draw. Want to draw people? Look at real people. Try to draw them. Fail. Try again. Fail better. Try again - and so on until you draw something that is good, and that you aren't bored by. The style thing will happen along the way, I promise.
Taking inspiration from others is fine! It's just that it needs to be a conscious practise-thing, rather than an unthinking replication of their work. If you like the way someone inks their lines, try to ink your lines in the same way - but don't copy the way they draw faces. Practise bits and pieces here and there, rather than copy their style wholesale.
ETA: If we turn away from the purely visual bit of it - the artwork - and focus on storytelling, I'd tell you it's better to be good than it is to be original.
Human beings have been telling stories since the invention of language. It's what we do. There's not much out there in terms of storytelling that is still original; whatever you can think of, it's probably been done before. The components might be different, but the framework is the same, and so on.
Strive to tell a story as well as you can possibly tell it, and know it's going to be worth it even if it resembles something someone else has done - because it's being told by you, and it's never been told by you before.
You don't have to reinvent the wheel - just let it roll down a new track.
