How may I contact a staff member to review my art before posting it. Since I don't know what's good and bad to not get deleted, I tried using better resolutions so line edges wouldn't look pixelated but an unknown staff member doesn't like it. I see lots of pixelated art is approved.

As long as it's relevant to e621 (which means no human only pics, no memes, and no real life images), and drawn adequately, then it should be approved.

For example, I personally drew this the other day.

By the looks of it, your posts were deleted by our admin, NotMeNotYou. He's responsible for filtering what's good for the site, along with all the other staff members.

And as I said before in the thread you've previously made, it's not because your image resolution is bad(pixelated or not). It's how your artwork looks, weighed by it's artistic value.

I also doubt that the admins would personally rate a piece of art beforehand.

You can try posting it on other sites like FurAffinity(or any other art sites) if you don't want your art to be deleted.

If you need to contact the staff, try sending them a DMail. You can do so from their profile.

@GameManiac I must say, that's impressive, gj. I'm only into Furries and MLP Characters btw. I know what content is acceptable.

I know resolution does not matter. I just mentioned it because lines look less pixelated, still doesn't look like art.

Other sites? Most of them are shut down, I did search, and some of them aren't good enough for me.

They probably don't want to be questioned about every piece, but a "this is the quality my art is currently up to, is it fit for e621?" would probably be just fine.

Well, in terms of art websites, I'm far more active on Deviantart and Furaffinity, and I recently made an Inkbunny account. I would recommend those.

The Monster Hunter image that I drew was the first that I could upload HERE because the ones I made before are sketches/digital drawings of inanimate objects, weapons, and landscapes.

Correction: as long as it's bigger than or equal to 200x200 pixels, it does not matter.

That's called the image dimensions.

Resolution in computer terms, especially for cgi, is often used for both image dimensions and pixel density/PPI/DPI. Is it confusing? Yes, verily.

I just uploaded the best I could do. And it still got deleted. I don't understand this anymore this site just wants too much. I see a lot of shitty arts getting approved though (No offense to the artists).

The last image you uploaded looks edited. The style of the lines for the body absolutely do not match the head, as well as the fact that the head looks actually drawn like your older uploads, but the body seems much more cleaner.

Aka, looks like an attempt at tracing other people's art (including shading and highlighting, something you didn't do on the head at all) and then calling it your own.
Oh, and also that the style of the areola on either boob is completely different, one is shiny and smooth with stark highlighting, the other is pebbly with smooth shading.

The whole body was done with curves. The head was not drawn by me I used a template, the nipples were also pasted from another template I found. In the post that got approved, the head and wings were used from a template.

There are also lots of recolored arts on this site.

"Lots" is an incredibly small percentage in our archive and traces get deleted once we find out something has been traced.

I greatly recommend not using templates at all and instead you should learn how to draw things properly for yourself.

also most of the time templates are uncredited traces of other people's artwork.

Try using the templates as a reference rather than tracing them. "Reference" means to have it off to the side, not a lower layer, so you're still "Drawing from scratch."

Oh, good, I'm not making up words that only I use in the meaning.

If it still looks good (I used a glow effect to make it like "anime detail" or something) Why get it deleted?

It didn't look good, at all. The differences between your drawings and the templates is extremely visible (artifacts inside templates because of conversion), your lines are one width and look wobbly like you've been drawing on a bumpy Road, and the anatomy of the entire picture is questionable at best.
You need to get better, plain and simple.

Effects do not make it look "Good." Used improperly, they can actually worsen an image or highlight the flaws, try to emulate them through hand-drawn shading instead or just forget using them.

The main thing you should be working on for now is learning to draw from reference, not tracing or copypasting.

I think I got it. The whole body including breasts was good since I drew those with curve lines, the head and nipples make it a nope since they're pasted. I'll try something better.

Funny thing, took that link from null ghosts journal where there was someone tracing his things.

Here's an idea, how about instead of trying to brute force your stuff trough with minor changes, you'll try to improve with your own pace and post your stuff into sites that allow it? Furaffinity, inkbunny and deviantart has already been suggested and you can even link them in your profile page. Even I have few of the most amateurish (and now cringeworthy) things on my deviantart account from years ago and nobody has took them down.

Because reading this thread feels exactly like reading games steam greenlight page where "developer" has basically copied all the stuff from somewhere, tried to force them to work without any knowledge of how to use the game engine and saying "it's my first game, plz be nice, give me ideas, it's gonna be under dollar with trading cards".

What I'm saying is that it's differend thing to leave stuff on the internet and trying to put them up on pedestal. Self critique is always really good thing to have.

I just think this is the best site for me to post 'sexy' images.
I'm not trying to be like "plz itz me 1st art acept it plz plz *cries in corner*" I'm still new to this and want to improve. This actually helps me practice with drawing. I will post some of the questionable content I make on deviantart as well.
