Help

I am not very familiar with this site, so i am unsure if this is where I should post this.
But I have been uploading my art and none of the moderators approved it for a long time.

And they are still unnaproved. I dont think my art is very bad. I seen much worse on Danbooru that was approved.

But then I thought there was something I have been doing wrong with the post that I should have that I should fix.

The artwork:
https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2098555?tags=junko_%28touhou%29

If you notice anything I did that prevents it from being uploaded, please tell me.

First. Read howto:upload

Uploading One's Own Art is Sacrilege

Posting one's own art is severely looked down upon, and there are two reasons behind this:

Firstly, artists tend to be biased when it comes to judging the quality of their own work. What looks good to you may be regarded as mediocre to Danbooru moderators.
Secondly, allowing posting of own work (self-posting) will cause a sudden spike of sub-par uploads as users mistake us for another Pixiv or Deviantart, far beyond the scope and capacity of Danbooru.

More suitable sites to upload your own art to include Deviantart and Pixiv.

Admins and moderators are especially harsh on self-posting artists, lashing out penalties without remorse. The one and only way to feature your art on Danbooru is to show immense talent and skill elsewhere, and with that, captivate some fans on the other side of the Internet into uploading your art.

Second.

This argument is old and annoying and will likely lead to people ignoring your entire post. It's well known that the quality standards aren't as consistent as we want, mainly because so far as art goes, there is no strict definition of "quality". Just because some posts are really bad doesn't mean you are free to upload bad pictures (not that yours are bad, they actually seem decent)

Third. It's written above what you linked. 5 have seen it and didn't like it enough, meaning the quality was ok but nobody was specifically interested enough to put their name under it as approver. Since it's touhou, I actually expect it will get approved - less than half of the approvers have seen it so far

Hope this helps. And really, read the entire howto:upload, not just what I quoted

Thank you, I didnt know how to say "worse" because I didnt want to say "as good as mine" I just dont want to sound conceided. I thought all artist posted their own artwork. So this didnt come to mind.

Thanks for the help!

The accepted way for one's art to make it onto Danbooru is simply to be good enough that one of it's regulars decides to upload it for you. Just put the effort into it and upload it on Pixiv or Deviantart, and eventually when it is to a high enough level, someone here will be interested in uploading it.

I would say, based on your current understanding of anatomy and composition, that if you were to put a full year or maybe two into it, you could probably catch up to at least some of the art that's featured here. This of course means taking the time to work on it. For an example of artist improvement over a longer period of time, look at pool #2609 for examples over a year, and pool #2864 for over a decade.

And that doesn't include the "draw this again" meme that was circulating around Tumblr and DeviantArt.
