1 approver believes it doesn't meet the quality standards. The mod probably thought her body is too short.

She doesn't have a short body. She's just leaning forwards. That has nothing to do with the anatomy of the character.

e6's admins are kinda strict when it comes to art. I think itll get approved in the end.

Adding a super deep-fried photo instead out of laziness can and absolutely will make the entire image look worse. Further, please please stay away from grass brushes. I have yet to see an image using a grass brush (or leaf brush, for that matter) that looks good. You have no variety in grass size based on the depth of the field, where grass "strokes" in the back of the image are the same size as those closest to the viewer. If you're not going to bother putting any effort into a background, just don't add one. Your images can only be as good as your weakest element(s).

For the characters, the shading is very streaky and it's hard to tell where the light is coming from. You have the underside of her body lit like the rest of it, which is probably why the torso seems short. The depth of the whole image is very confusing, honestly, as this is supposed to be a first-person point of view but it looks as though you're a third person looking down on the bottom character rather than being that bottom character.

Overall, the visual information is conflicting and a large portion of the image actually takes away from the rest of it.
