Keep in mind I'm not an approver, but her back seems a bit weird/unnatural to me. Also, explicit post may have a harder time getting approved since it's up to the discrestion and taste of the approvers. Not all of them like explicit posts.

That is why I want the opinion of the approvers, to know what additional criteria (if any) I must meet and thus avoid uploading content that, although it complies with the rules of the site, does not fully meet the likes of the approvers. Since, the fact that you post something that at first glance meets the rules, but is not approved, confuses the uploader, especially when there is low-quality or badly tagged content that is approved.

Generally what Alex said. Poor torso and back.
Plus, her boobs are detached. The rough artstyle doesn't help in this case.

Ok, thanks for the feedback. I will take it into account in future uploads.

The art styles are too western for most approvers, I guess, and they’re of western copyrights too.
The first two have rather bland standing poses and while the third one is a bit more interesting, it goes full torso twist for maximum T&A and gets an instant skip from me.

The thing is, Liang Xing arts of western franchises with even more ridiculous poses have made it onto Danbooru and been approved, so why not that Widowmaker one?

Examples of Overwatch artworks by the same artist that have been approved would be post #4404901 and post #3831979.

Those two are far less ridiculous poses than your Liang Xing post and look more interesting than the two Lawzilla posts.

Yet compared to the Widowmaker artwork, they're also using the T&A poses, and they were approved. That's why I think it's weird that the Widowmaker artwork wasn't permitted.

I can do the D.Va pose IRL but not the Widowmaker one. I think the latter is just too extreme, it looks like she broke her spine.

post #4419102 wasn't approved. I'm quite startled why.

the way her left forearm is positioned coming out of her stomach looks strange, even accounting for whatever might be "covered" by the capelet. other than that though I think it's fine, maybe it just got missed by the right approver? consider an appeal.

post #4423824 Same quality of accepted parent.

diffs of other active posts aren't automatically approved just because they're the same quality. these posts are judged on a case-by-case basis like all the rest.
also note that the parent was uploaded by an unrestricted user. it falls into the category of "might not clear the queue, but also not warranting a flag".

Thanks for the quick reply, but I'm still confused as to why it wouldn't be accepted considering it's from the same post as the accepted parent. I see what you mean by the unrestricted uploader, are you suggesting that I avoid uploading children of unrestricted uploaders b/c the quality might not be good enough? Because a similar thing with post #4423833 unrestricted uploader posting similar / (imo in some cases worse quality) photos of the same artist.

I can't say for approvers, but here are a few of the details I didn't like:
- the very long horizontal fold of the navel
- the bed of hair she's lying on doesn't look good imo
- I don't care for that style of cum, it's more artificial than other styles

while the parent also has the first two details, they aren't bad to the point I would consider flagging it.

you're half right there. it's entirely fine to upload diffs (of unrestricted posts or otherwise), but you should look at them as standalone images quality-wise. the thought shouldn't be "this image is okay, but it's a diff of an active post so I'll upload it" but instead "wow! this image is great! oh, it also happens to be a diff. cool, I'll parent it."

tbh, I think this one looks fine. The only issue I see here is her hair and the way it's shaded; it creates an odd perception of the hair falling down the couch cushion's side when the cushion itself looks flat.
