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

Posted under General

Hello, I would like some feedback regarding these illustrations made by Korean artist Radon86_nya. Many of the latest posts were uploaded by me because his artist tag felt incomplete. Yet, post #11344224, post #11344100, and post #11344043 were not accepted by anyone, even after appealing. As far as I know, all of these drawings are high quality, correctly tagged, and have the right source (even if it was from a reposting site, because the artist deleted the original source from their Twitter profile). Can anyone tell me what's so 'bad' about them? I can understand why posts like post #11342956 and post #11342992 didn't get approved — they lack some polish — but the other ones are much more recent and well drawn, feels a little unfair not gonna lie.

Not sure what you mean by "no longer", Danbooru has always been a primarily anime-oriented site. Even if we're more lenient on non-anime content these days, it still has to look good to be approved. Things like post #11369410 and post #11369464 aren't really up to standards.

I see.
The fact that it doesn't meet the "criteria" suggests that something implicit is critically lacking in the relationship with the uploader.

Simply put, if things stay as they are, It appears to be an unjust suppression by people who are "not interested" in the art style in question.
The first art styles related to this have existed for 20 years, and they seem to have been highly regarded.

What exactly does "anime" refer to here?
I'm not sure if it means anime-style illustrations, or official anime screenshots and artwork.
Or, more narrowly, does it refer to "anime characters"?
Is a cartoon or sticker-like style not considered animation?
For example, things like these are approved, though.

This looks low-quality at first glance, but was it approved because the logo is from the official anime?

What criteria are used to judge "looks good"?
on't almost all of their art styles look the same?

According to your criteria, the following items are almost identical but have not been rejected.

For works like this, where the quality is underestimated simply because of the art style itself, there should be more specific and clearer standards in place.

Going through my backlog for a few that still don't make sense to me.
post #4461815 Too sketchy?
post #4299901 post #4299898 post #4299897 All the same artist. Now he's very well-uploaded and these seem sort of typical of his style for 2019/20
post #4575092 Just a straightforward commission piece of Konata jerking off
post #4489833 Does it not look like Madoka enough?
post #4930062 This looks like a very competent pair image of Madoka with Homura
post #4808259 post #4808256 post #4808255 These are more stylistic images of Homura, but I assume that might make them look sketchy?

I know that it needs to be seen by someone who likes it but it's so hard to believe it's not liked by anyone while we have some really low effort stuff floating around. And not salty, literal low effort and quality.

Not trying to be rude or anything but Danbooru generally doesn't encourage self uploads, it's better to use other pages like Deviantart or other social media for that regard, but focusing in the quality aspect I do think maybe they need to be a little more polished in anatomy and coloring, but ofc it's just my opinion to why they would reject you

We don't discourage them either (not anymore, at least). Self-uploaders just have to be extra careful not to let any bias toward their own work cloud their judgment. As long as quality standards are met, it makes no difference.

I've uploaded a bunch of posts from the same author and some of them got deleted. I don't see a big difference between approved ones and deleted ones here:

post #10936394 post #10936429 post #10936495 post #10936661 - has the same quality and from the same artist as post #10936410 post #10936440 post #10936654

post #11079835 - has the same quality and from the same artist as post #11079933 post #11079903 post #11079887

And to be sure - was color distortion the main reason for deleting post #10910468, even if it has more resolution than previous version?
