I'm very confused about what is good art and what is not good enough art to be posted on this site.

Furthermore, would this be good enough art to post on e621? https://va2.ib.metapix.net/files/full/1609/1609494_Sogaroth_ellie_bedtime.jpg

The answer to your question is:

403 Forbidden. ;)

You should probably have linked to the image's page on IB rather than the image itself.

If I do a little trick to view the image.. I would say, probably not. Sketchy images are accepted on E621 sometimes. However, this one does not look 'complete' (in a compositional sense, not a rendering-quality sense)

If you are the artist, I would suggest the general guideline to, near the edges of the frame, keep contrast low.

post #1136498 it doesn't take too long to find it, y'know.

Uploading guidelines should tell you what is good and bad to upload: https://e621.net/wiki/show/uploading_guidelines

Looking at your uploads, I would say that just keep that up and you shouldn't have much issues. Just make sure you are taking largest image from site you are getting the image from e.g. download button.

Sketches and traditional media are accepted, but for sketches they have to be in stage where they are actually viewable and with traditional media scanner level quality is required.
So that image is way above being fine.

The "quality standards" are subjective as shit. The "art expert" moderators here did not know when I deliberately clouded a portion of an image to give my picture a dreamy quality. What gives them the right to pass judgement over others when many of them don't even submit their own stuff? And why does it take 15 seconds for them to approve some pieces and 15 DAYS to REJECT others? To me, that shows they like messing with people, and that's the kind of shit that has turned the Internet into a cesspool.

You don't let the inmates run the asylum. That's the warden's job.

Can you care to provide links? And, not sound rude when referring to the revered staff members, who have to put up with real life just as much as you do and more because of the burden of being in a position of power?

Also, commenting on other posts about image quality ain't going to do your deleted posts any saving graces.

Really? To me, it shows they have a long backlog of things to accept or reject, some images are good enough quality to accept right away, some are grey areas that they needed to think about, and that you have a nasty habit of confusing correlation with causation.

You saw "cannot" and assumed "will not".

"What gives them the right"? The supreme authority of the site, of course. e621 is not a mandatory public service and they have no obligation to host any particular content.

If the moderators did not perceive "intentional & dreamy" from your blur effect, it's considerably more likely that your blur effect was subpar than that they were plebian buffoons.

Fifteen-odd years has told me: an artist's talent is almost always positively correlated to their modesty. Your arrogance doesn't endear my predictions of the quality of your art.

Curation is necessary thing. Good example, see the reaction by people when sony let the "life of the black tiger" onto PS4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM523jjrvf4
Because there's certain level people are expecting when they get games on PS4. Same with e6, users are expecting the content to pass certain quality so they don't feel like they are browsing deviantart.

Reason why many do not post their own arts are because this is not personal art gallery but booru, so by default majority of stuff will most likely get uploaded by users who do not do art. I cannot stress this enough: who uploads something here

As for some getting approved in 15 seconds and others being rejected in 15 days, there's good reasons for that and I can assure it's not because of someone wanting to mess with you. Usually if something is fastly approved or deleted, it's usually clear and cut case, so there's no need to think about it because there's more work to be done. When there's image which is relevant and not insanely bad, the line for what to do becomes blurry, so it's left to sit for a night and passed on to other approvers and sadly sometimes the time stretches bit long.
