your situation is hinged on this idea that you have created art and everybody is keeping you down just because you are using a computer? The computer is irrelevant, it's just this big, dumb, expensive pencil. Of course fine art can be created on a computer. What is in question here is the value of the specific piece and your terms and conditions.
My primary definition of Art is: any original manifestion by a sentient being which was intended to at least be a candidate for aesthetic valuation.
the valuation being the real topic.
For instance how strong and fully so is your creation considered Art? Seeing how many things created by humans are art, ask your self what makes one even more so? Pleasurable Aesthetics? Expressiveness? Excellence of Technique? Originality? Meaning? Clarity of Aim?
I believe all of these can add to it.
How did your piece take these aspects into consideration? Where along the vast spectrum of creation does it fall? As you can see, this is more than just an on-off, win-lose judgement of: this is art - this is not. This is a matter of realizing the subtle gradation of RICHNESS in all its facets and becoming more able to symbolize this in a work.
