Your art is bad.

Your anatomy makes no sense most of the time (vulva on the stomach, deformed limbs, wrong proportions), your linework is shoddy, your coloring basic at best, and your shading might as well not be there at all.
Dave allowed your art to stay because it was literally the lowest quality he would allow on the page, and I heavily disagreed with his decision back then. I now hold Dave's position and I have no reason to let your art in anymore.

I am sorry to be so blunt but I've already explained my position to you back before Dave overturned my decision to delete your art. As such I simply don't see a reason to repeat what I've said back then in more words than absolutely necessary.

Edit: If you'd actually like some constructive criticism I can give you some. Draw from life, not from memory. Find a reference and compare your work to the reference(s). Especially your faces and hands need a lot of work still. Also look into using differently thick lines for your linework. Use the thickness to give different parts different weights. It looks very strange that fine fur has the same "weight" as heavy objects. Your coloring should follow the curve of bodies better. Your shading should also better follow established physics rules, as in highlights and direction of light need to be consistent at least.

No, he allowed it to stay because I draw R34 of characters nobody else draws.
I draw using reference art. And I have been drawing longer than you have been on FA. Furry artist is not my "job", as it is for some, I draw because I enjoy it, so don't expect me to take art classes because someone does not like my art.
I fail to see your reasoning here - I could easily point you to a lot of pics on E621 that have the same or more flaws than mine. This place is not some classy highbrow art site. It is a collection site for furry porn, dude. The whole tagging system serves the only purpose to make it easy to find art relating to a character or a franchise. By limiting who can upload what, you are just making it harder for people to find art relating to a character/show - which is why 90% of people come here. Why else? If you want to find generic furry art of generic OCs, you can search for tags on FA, DA, Weasly, Inkbunny, ETC. This place was meant to be a collection of art from ALL these places. Your predecessor understood that, and that was why R34-Paheal died out slowly while people moved here.
If you start to limit art upload based on personal taste - because that is what you are doing - then you are just turning this place into an elitist snobfest, same as Hentaifoundry.
