Hi there, would you mind taking another look at post #8630953?

I can only say, from what I picked up from here, is that the approvers are picky with 3D NSFW animations. Like compare the number of approved 3D art that are rated explicit compared to the ones that were deleted.

Can someone take another look at my first three uploads? (post #8631957 post #8631973 post #8632019)

They seemed like pretty good first posts to me, so I have no idea why they were denied.

Approvers are allergic to monochrome and sketches/sketch-like art. Reimu and Marisa one's look fine to me, even if they aren't as good as some of the other work from the aritst imo. Reisen's planted hand might be putting approvers off for that one though.

Probably worth appealing.

Any input into why this were deleted would be great help

post #8624623 - I don't see anything wrong with this. You could argue the stomach maybe? Certainly not bad quality. Not that anyone used that for a reason just the normal "disinterest" .-.
post #8621154 - multiple works by me or others uploaded after this from the same artist that were approved but this one wasn't. I don't really see any issue comparing them. Could I please get something other than "disinterest"?
post #8621135 - Same as previous (same artist)
post #8611420 - Sure it might just be slightly lower quality than some of the artists other uploaded art but I don't believe it being a sketch should deny it being approved.

post #8624623 - You're probably right about the stomach. The rib cage outline to me is off-putting given the angle. Think there's too much emphasis in the lines for the middle of her torso too.
post #8621154 - Her arm. The one higher up lacks the neccessary shading to show the depth imo. Could argue similar for the knuckles on that side too. This is also an older drawing for the artist. While I do see that the Patchouli one got approved from around the same time period recently, it doesn't have the same issues as this Youmu one.
post #8621135 - Broken spine. I usually try base anatomy on whether I can comfortably do a pose or not and then giving a little leeway based on size of the character and anime logic. Not a fool proof method but this one I got nowhere close to. Her spine seems too broken.
post #8611420 - Not a sketch expert but this looks fine to me, others may have better feedback than me though.

Not sure how to describe it but she looks squashed vertically while at the same time stretched horizontally, it looks very weird.

I think the artist was going for a concave stomach but I can see how it looks that way. That's fair enough then. Idk how I'm gonna spot that in the future but I'll try be mindful of squished people lol. Thanks

Only 21 out of the 137 active posts under this artist actually went through the queue. The rest were uploaded by contributors, who are allowed to skip the queue.

Also, the score and number of tags has no relevance to whether or not a post gets approved. Highres posts might have a higher chance, but it's not enough on its own, nor is it a requirement. Lower-resolution posts can be good quality, too.

I still think it should be given a chance though. It's very well drawn and doesn't break any rules.

This is my first time here asking for a post to be approved so I apologize if I wrote something that is not relevant xd.

This is a high-resolution version of the approved post

This is the second time you've mentioned post #8631406. I don't think spamming your rationale in this thread is going to help your case much tbh.

Your upload from Pixiv is 1640x1672, the Twitter version is 1640x1674. I'm on mobile so I can't check if there's compression artifacts or something else going on with the twitter upload that I might be missing. Duplicates don't have to be deleted and flagged, but they also don't necessarily have to be approved either.

I've been trying to upload high-quality military art from Ukrainian artists such as Arbor, Linyvets and Usergore but approvers keep turning them down for disinterest.

I made sure to correctly tag them to the detail and source them, but they keep not being approved and by result my upload limit is going down.

Is there any way to address this by a moderator or so?

We're not checking where the artist comes from. If the upload doesn't look good (or breaks any rules) we simply won't approve it. I bet you will find hundreds of uploads by ukrainian artists that are approved. Obviously you only care about your own uploads.

Even though tagging and sourcing is mandatory, if the upload still doesn't look good enough to be approved, it probably won't be approved.

I know this type of art has a hard time getting approved but I figured the quality was on par or greater than stuff that was already posted. Sure, most of it did not have to go through the approval process and it may not be to everyone's taste but I think the dude's work is good enough to be on here too.
