You really need to stop. Tracing, copying, referencing, or stealing art and/or characters is not ok. As an adult, you should know this. You can literally be taken to court for this.
I don't think you realize how much this can hurt. Having such things happen to you can really take a toll on you.
I personally suggest you apologize to all artists you have take art from, confess, and take everything down that doesn't belong to you. I'm not saying that you should leave DeviantArt and/or the internet forever, I'm sure you can find your own style and make characters of your own.
