Wanted to thank CoreMack for approving an upload that was previously deleted. I assume it went by quick, and that's why no one approved it.

Here are three more recent ones that I would like feedback on:

post #6471801
post #6471806
post #6471815

Western stuff and low resolution images are harder to get approved and the third post is of poor quality imo. I approved the 2nd, but you should tag your posts as best as you can instead of mintagging or using tagme and should also stop using solo focus for solo posts.

Understood. With that being said, is there anyone that wants to take a 2nd look at this? I think the 1st one is pretty high quality.

Based on your deleted uploads, here are some things I think you should watch out for:

  • Photos/screencaps/photoshops (i.e. post #607028, post #635704): Anything that is not an original piece of art is at a disadvantage in the moderation process right from the get go.
  • JPEG artifacts (i.e. post #625844, post #678880): A little bit of distortion is acceptable; stuff at the level of post #678880 is absurd and would probably not get approved regardless of art quality. Usually, this is a result of one or more rounds of resaving, so if you get art direct from the producer, you won't have to worry about this as much.
  • Resolution (i.e. post #627797, post #678875): Below a certain size, pictures just get too small to be interesting. My personal threshold is somewhere around 0.2 megapixels (that is, a ~450x450 image), but use your judgement and you should be fine.
  • Watermarks/copyright marks (i.e. post #696021, post #608608): Not a huge strike against an image, but a strike nonetheless.

And one less objective piece of advice: it looks like several of your deleted images are from DBZ, which, like most shounen series, are approved less often on Danbooru simply by virtue of the composition of the moderation team. It's somewhat unfortunate, but pictures from that copyright are probably going to be held to a higher standard than pictures of, say, Touhou characters. If you post strictly good art, it won't become an issue, but be wary of that grey zone between good and 'meh', because you may be less likely to get the benefit of the doubt.

Are edits of original renders (like Duel Links ones ) and colorings of existing lineart (by other people) fine?
