"I really wanna draw like elegant interesting compositions of beautiful ladies with pale skin, lots of eyeliner, and a bit of a sinful undertone. Funny, sexy, dark. Something like that. Problem is I can't find an artist who does that thing"
...girls with like elegant pieces of stone and relics of antiques and gothic fashion, and have it look really illustrated and expressive, you know, things floating in air or underwater or something."
You're in the same boat as most people I know where we start off pursuing the wrong practice. It's not a bad thing, it let's us know our aesthetic sense and our technical ability. On CD you're surrounding yourself with dudes, monsters and robots. As far as subject matter goes, they exist, just not here.
Look to independent illustrators. I think you might like these:

They're two of the most elegant illustrators I've seen. The level of metal/gothyness is relevant to you and your taste. You don't have to find someone with your exact aesthetic to copy from, but find people in your chosen field with similar tastes and learn from how they use it.
