Question

Does anyone have any ideas as to why these illustrations were rejected?

This image was produced with the help of artificial intelligence and was later filtered in Photoshop, it was rejected in stock upload, does anyone understand the reason or have an idea, thank you...865946i3C016AAA5F8B94D8.jpg865948iD0B76A9FC4F7FB6E.jpg865947iFE37B41264339D9B.jpg

3rd image: too many problems to mention.

  • Torso halves are mismatched.
  • Background design is a mess. 
  • Painterly style effects aren't working...

Discard it and try again. 

 

Less is more.  Don't over-stylize artwork with fancy filters & special fx.

The skin tones seem too exaggerated in the first image and more plastic in appearance than skin in the bottom two. I circled some areas that could use some retouching as well.
