Upload Feedback Thread - post here if your uploads keep getting deleted

Posted under General

I recently posted this image, and was surprised by its deletion:

post #7719014

I'd like to point out 2 things:
1) The art does not violate any guidelines. Contrary to the moderation comment, anatomy/proportions are fairly realistic, and more realistic than most of the anime-style art that is posted on this website.
2) Quality is good. I just don't think you can reasonably say that the quality is lower than the following pieces of the same character, which have stayed on Danbooru:

post #458952
post #2711555
post #6279007

Thus, the deletion feels arbitrary and out of place for me.

Thanks for your consideration.

what was wrong with post #7739082 and post #7603077 ? the latter in particular is part of a series and all the rest of that series was approved, and I know that danbooru posts are approved on their own merits but I'm not sure what the difference is - just a lack of interest in kid witch magical girls? the former I'm less confused by, it's an unpopular copyright, but is that the only problem? thank you!

Someone please explain to me how post #7723635 is allegedly of "poor quality".

The hands are badly drawn, the composition is plain and the dress and bouquet look like they were drawn very quickly. The shading also looks amateurish but it could be excusable in a better piece. The sloppily-drawn dress is probably the worst part as it's the largest part of the image.

Hi, just wanted to ask about a couple of my works that weren’t approved.

I know that I’m not the most technically skilled artist, but it is a little rough just having everything be shot down without fully understanding why. Maybe my illustrations just aren’t the right fit for the platform and that’s okay, and I’ll probably refrain from attempting to submit anything else because it’s just not great for my mental to try and grapple with the approval system. That said, I would appreciate any feedback just so I have an idea what happened. Thanks in advance.

I guess this is sort of relevant again. There was a promotion wave today and I'm assuming that I got skipped over because of my deletions. Frankly I'm still having trouble determining what's good enough for the site or not. I know that some things are just riskier for restricted users to post versus unrestricted users and things that unres users have uploaded I've gotten deleted for, but I just don't feel like I'll ever move from Builder.

I half do and don't care. I don't care because it's still on the site, but I do care because... who wouldn't want a promotion to a place that lets you upload without restriction, especially when you're honing in on a specific copyright? Uploading feels a lot more casual then because it feels more like you can just upload good things instead of needing to cater to approvers so you don't get deleted.

Anyone want to pitch an opinion about a potentially dangerous common theme among my deletions that I should look to avoid? I envy people who have less than 10 deletions - I'm going on 100. Just think I'm never moving anywhere. Frankly don't get the hang of this. Simultaneously feel like I'm getting better at this and then not. Like, not sure what to do, what can push me towards potential Contributor material.
