While I'm at it, why didn't post #3182486 make it? It seems as good as, if not better than, the others by that artist that've been approved.

From what I can tell the others are a bit more comedic in nature to make up for the simplistic artwork. That one is just a straight drawing with no punchline.

Nothing wrong with the black and white one, just a bit on the blander side. I might have approved this if I had the power.
The one in color is has some wonky proportions, weird shoulders, the tail coil is weirdly variant and is a bit fetishistic.

Ok, this is a bit unfair, because post #3450327 is an actual good art that had potential in Danbooru, and as you said, you would have approve it if you could, but it still got deleted and apparently I can't appeal more than one time. So, there's nothing more that i can do, right?

I am not actually an approver, just saying it is fine by my standards. And did you post it in the deletion appeals thread or use a manual appeal? If not, doing the other action is one more step you could take - though I'd advise not to at this point.

Oh I get it. And yeah, I did post it in the deletion appeals thread. Could you explain me what is a manual appeal, and how does it work, please?

post #3364748 (how the post #3336319 got approved and this that is one of the own artist's sources not?

You uploaded an inferior Twitter duplicate, which is unlikely got be approved. The superior Pixiv version was uploaded over half a year prior. I remember seeing you upload Twitter duplicates before; you should stop doing that. post #3336319 wasn’t approved; it was uploaded by Danbooru’s owner and didn’t go through the moderation queue. You can see that it didn’t go through the queue because it doesn’t have an approver name listed.

post #3412299 - Hard to say, maybe the face perspective and overall a bit meh. What kind of goo are Homura’s breasts made of?
post #3173074 & post #3173077 - Maybe a bit too simplistic and boring.
post #3418812 - Those gag boobs are pretty uncanny; amateurish shading.
post #3418518 - Mediocre all over, maybe most noticeable by the small hands and shading. Good effort, but not quite there yet.
post #3418472 / post #3418478 - Too rough for my tastes and nothing that makes up for that.

We get that you really like this character(s), but you need to get over that bias and be more selective with what you upload. Also, stop uploading Twitter duplicates. Seriously.

Edit: And sniped by Unbreakable ages ago. =D

but why my appeals practically all the times doesn't happen anything and even the appeal texts of certain posts are abandoned... and sometimes some of you are just being overselective because i've seen worse than post #3173074 and post #3173077 for example getting approved, talking about this i know that certain arts with poorly drawn faces that i dislike are approved and i'm like but this (none in specific) wasn't... what the hell lol
by the way sorry i do upload sometimes from twitter when i checked late that it was posted on pixiv (like in post #3454013) but most of the times to complement with other arts (that i really like) from the same artist that had others posted from twitter, i don't mind about these getting deleted though (like in post #3451611), also navigation of fanarts on twitter itself sucks because not tags there so that's another reason but i'll post less of these later

so another batch of deleted ones, at least someone reconsider some of them...

If your posts are mediocre and don’t get approved, appealing them won’t help much either, so no surprise there.

I have no idea what you mean.

and sometimes some of you are just being overselective because i've seen worse than post #3173074 and post #3173077 for example getting approved, talking about this i know that certain arts with poorly drawn faces that i dislike are approved and i'm like but this (none in specific) wasn't... what the hell lol

Using the argument “I’ve seen worse getting approved” automatically disqualifies you. If you see bad art getting approved, flag it for being bad.

There’s a button labelled “Similar” on the upload form. Click it. Seems to be broken for Pixiv posts at the moment but works just fine for Twitter.

so another batch of deleted ones, at least someone reconsider some of them...

The more you post, the less likely someone will want to look through it. I’m not going to comment on your porn because I have some tags blacklisted. The other posts are all mediocre in some way: line art, coloring/shading, perspective, anatomy or just plain boring.

Seems like my earlier message was missed. I would really appreciate some feedback on these

OP said:

#1 - You are not guaranteed feedback. It is entirely voluntary to give it.

No, your earlier message wasn’t missed. Nobody wanted to or could give you feedback. Asking multiple times will either annoy other users or get you only dodgy feedback, like this:

All your posts look meh to me but I’m having a hard time pointing out concrete flaws without just sounding pedantic.
post #3321418 - Those finger toes are really uncanny. It doesn’t help that they’re prominently displayed in the foreground.
post #3453684 - Rather amateurish all over. I guess the coloring/shading puts me off the most.
post #3453695 - Poor shading; (her) right arm looks super long, unless her hand is inside a super long sleeve, but there are no folds to indicate that; inside of the shirt is unshaded, making it look like there’s a hole and her left arm just vanishes above the wrist.

post #3453684

Honestly, I cannot pinpoint exactly what makes that Rory Mercury post so unappealing. Like, everything seems fine individually, but the composition of it all put together is super offputting. Might be the 3dish textures of the fabric being contrasted with the incredibly flat face and hair. Not full uncanny valley, but just off. The legs aren't wildly out of proportion, but are abnormally long, her hands are just a bit too small. No single mistake is particularly egregious, but they all add up to a first glance 'huh?' from me.
It also does not seem like any of these little deviations were done intentionally either as a stylistic choice, making them all stand out as minor oopsies.

Approved it.
Because..apparently there is worse stuff already approved :3.

But seriously, I'm sorry that I'm less active recently, so I can't take a look at all the images right now. This post looked mostly fine. The existing flaws(mostly the facial part and that very weird pigeon-toed pose) aren't that severe in my opinion.

How about post #3456203? I can kinda see how others in the batch might have gotten the axe ("artistic license" vs "off model" is in the eye of the beholder), but that one at least looked perfect to me; I thought it was a shoe-in.

Also, post #3450624 was deleted while its parent stayed; is that common? I kinda figured sets were approved/disapproved together.

Posts are supposed to be judged independently, though some exceptions apply. For example, a borderline post might get approved if it contains the punchline to a significantly better-drawn post.

The approved parent post you mentioned is bright and cheery while the unapproved child post looks dark and creepy, which apparently didn’t appeal to anyone.

Ok, I said before I was maybe almost sorta kinda iffy on some in the batch, but if anyone has a definitive answer on why post #3456203, post #3456207, post #3456191, and post #3454782 were deleted, I'm definitely curious.

The approvers are a pretty heterogeneous pool, so unless you survey all of them, you won’t get a definitive answer. My guess is that posts with human characters are generally more popular with most approvers.

Are new artists subject to more scrutiny than ones that already have art uploaded?

I don’t think so. There are so many different artists on Danbooru that nobody can remember them all. I guess everyone has a few favorites whose posts they’d approve with less scrutiny, but past that, it’s all fair game.
