Upload Feedback Thread - post here if your uploads keep getting deleted

Posted under General

Hello! I'm posting here to find out what I'm doing wrong, most of my posts are deleted and I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I always try to put the original source of the artist and the highest quality possible. I've tried everything and no matter if the fanart is of something known or popular it is deleted. And I don't see any pattern in the few that I have approved. Help, at this rate I will lose all the uploads and I will never be able to post again.

Thanks

Two more posts I'm currently appealing.

This one had its child accepted lol:
post #8644429
And this Godzilla piece which I cleaned up the relevant tags for:
post #8644418

And while I'm here.
Here's a 2B Bunny post I tried to appeal a while back.
post #8571617

It does feel like things are pretty strict at the moment, so I'll probably come back to regular posting in Feburary unless its a sure in post.

Updated

Just gonna try this again, since these keep getting glossed over:

post #8560514
post #8590558

Both appealed around Christmas/New Years so they got less traction, but both posts are from artists that I've never before had issues having art from them accepted, and the quality on both is of at least equal to that of prior posts I've done.

I *really* would like to see these get through.

post #8560514 feels very flat and stiff.
I get what they're going for, trying to recreate the RD art style but it just not to the quality of that game.

post #8590558 is a lot better but the side profiles are a bit wonky.
Soren is looking more like Brendon Smalls with his goofy mouth, long face and crossed eyes.
Lethe looks good and is proportioned well.
Lyre has a weird perspective on her upper chest where its just a bit too long around the neck/shoulders (compare her to Lethe who's arms are in a similar pose for a comparison) and the angle on her tits doesn't make sense.

Yeah I’ve lost so fucking much cap (11 to 5) and uploading to this site feels like a damn coin flip, “Don’t be thin skinned” is easier said then done when you’re penalized for it

And you're not an approver, so I don't think you're supposed to be giving out "critique" lol

As I've said, every other comm I've gotten and posted has been of identical quality, especially the first one. It's most certainly not flat.

Approvers themselves don't tend to post in here often and aren't obligated to. Sometimes general feedback from peers can be helpful just to gauge a general vibe as to why it may have been unapproved.

Seems a rather pointless endeavour if the people actually okaying the posts don’t even look here, ngl.

I wish if a post wasn't approved it would say why, Like when I posted some official Infinity art and they didn't like it being a secondary source and thought it may be AI upscaled

No approver can tell you why an image was disapproved, because we can only speak for ourselves. We can only tell you, if there is an obvious flaw in the image and why we wouldn't approve it.
The only reason why non-approvers shouldn't give any advice in this thread is, because they sometimes give bs reasons for disapprovals like "not enough tags" or try to nitpick.

In this case I think that LurkerPSI is correct.

The mod-queue has over 2210 posts right now. There is no way to write a reason for all of these posts.

Can I get any input/reason onto why these weren't approved? All the previous and uploads after were approved. All share the same quality level. Now there is just a grouping of deleted posted in the middle of the pool #24369 . Not this will be first(or last) as I can see post #8658441 on its way to being deleted after 3 days most likely because of her belly. But if you're expecting me to just not upload all 100 that'd be crazy. Guess I'll just tank the deletes :ExuCurse:

I was redirected here from https://danbooru.donmai.us/forum_topics/30035 to repost the following:

"Hello
I have been uploading several pictures related to the character Alpha_(alpha_1918) and most of them have not been approved, nonetheless being high quality, tagged to the detail, and noted/translated. I'm worrying that if the art is not approved my upload limit will go down."

I have 15 pieces of artworks pending, made several tags and properly linked sources and backstories. Can I have someone go look through the artworks and approve?
