Speaking of quality, can you be more specific?

Sorry for barging in, I'm not an approver but speaking as an artist my guess it that the skindentation in post #8433078 looks a little too exaggerated and the linework looks typical of an amateur digital artist as how the lines don't really match the "flow" of the drawing. Right arm looks a little awkward, too.

post #8433098 looks a little better in my opinion, but the thing about the lines and flow still applies. Right thigh and hip anatomy are not quite right either.

Your upload limit is sure low... You've got plenty of your posts deleted eh?

Man, I don't know about him, but about me, since I created an account on Danbooru until today, my upload limit has been very low: I can only upload 5 images. So far, I have 117 approved images. And 204 deleted. It's not a dream performance, and I don't know how to change it.

Could someone take a quick look over post #8441783 and give some feedback why it was disapproved?
The only error that I noticed, if you could call it an error is the line work and coloring on the skirt and right thigh, since it looks a bit unclean and rushed. But overall the face, hair, torso and background as well as the cat look fine to me.

Anyone know why these haven’t been approved yet?

I swear I think I’m doing everything mostly correct.

You didn't provide sources or artist tags. Someone else had to add the artist tag for you in the first post. I think the second post is below the quality standards for Danbooru and will not get approved. I recommend you get acquainted with help:upload and to look at approver:any to get an idea of what standards we are expecting.

It often takes 3 days for artworks to go through the moderation queue! So wait till both are deleted/disapproved and then ask here again.
post #8448896 has a few issues. For me the face proportions are a bit offputing same for the torso mostly for the chest. Then there is a slight issue with the hat piece -> tiara one of the skulles doesn't look right to me and lastly it misses the crucial credits for web-source and artist!

The artist has quite a hit or miss style. I like the way Luna looks and the way the clothes are shaded. I really don't like the face, so that might be why some approvers gave it a pass. I also feel like the bow looks kinda 2d.

Since this has one poor quality judgement, it's now basically guaranteed to fail the appeal and my other uploads of this artist are probably going to get flagged too. Can someone help me understand what is bad about it? Trying to understand what small imperfections in an image lead someone to disinterest it as poor quality, yet it would probably survive if it bypassed the queue, is so headache-inducing. I'm really starting to hate uploading.

The position of the head might be it. Either she's got a long neck or she's been decapitated, but the positioning of her head doesn't make sense to me given the way her body is positioned.

The way it looks to me at a first glance is that the base of the head is still connected but it's leaning to touch the ground. It feels like you would have to scrutinise it very, very closely to have to think the contrary. Not to rag on you for trying to help give a pointer there, but frankly it just feels like if you're not uploading something absolutely perfect to the queue, it's no good.

Thanks for helping provide another perspective. This has been a long 6 months for me and I'm still no closer to figuring out the magic formula where others are succeeding in far shorter time. I'm not sure whether to give up or persist and hope I can have a good 2-month period eventually.

There might not be much in the way of specific things you can point out as an error, but the reason I wouldn't upload this is that it's exactly the wrong level of realism— Usagi's pose looks stiff and parts of her clothes look weirdly 2D, and Luna's face is clearly a cartoon, but the shading especially of Usagi's face is trying for three-dimensional and mostly ending up at "incredibly smooth," and the overall look is just kind of uncanny. Some people might like it but there's a lot of people it won't appeal to.
