Question

Random file approval, one time yes, another time no

Hello everyone,
Do you guys ever experience the following?

A few months ago, an illustration (which I generated with AI) of an American hero was approved.
This illustration runs well and for that reason I designed several variations with the exact same illustration by adding round typography, among other things. It is now more like a sleek sticker/stamp.
All these files have now been rejected!
I personally find this rather random, one time yes, another time no.
Do you have any experience with this?
Ideally I would like to upload them again, I simply don't understand it.

Kind regards, Martin

What is the rejection reason? Your text is touching the graphic. That's IMHO an error. But there may be a different reason for the refusal.

You may also have an error in your asset, that was not detected by the moderator the first time. It is proven that when you submit an asset, and it is accepted, you delete it, and submit again, that you can earn a refusal. Moderation is done by humans, and there is no absolute threshold for a refusal.

The reason for refusal is: "Quality Issues: Common issues that can impact the technical quality of images include exposure issues, soft focus, excessive filtering or artifacts/noise".

I have peace with it, I'm going to offer these serie of illustrations on another stock site, it's a waste not to use them, as there are many hours of work in it to perfect everything.
Thank you all for your reactions, I really appreciate it!
ps. attached some of the images of the series, I had more than 30 offered

You say an american hero. Is that an actual person or maybe a known comic figure? If so, that those are reasons for rejection.

Previous files were already approved once, so that can't be it 😞

Hard to say without seeing examples and what you mean by "several variations," but too many similars can result in rejections. If the original is selling well, why muddy the waters and confuse the buyer by giving them too many choices? Three or four variations is considered reasonable.

Hm. You might try removing the text from the rejected file, especially since you're repeating the text twice. Just guessing. As a general rule, I think moderators tend to reject images with text, as this is something a buyer might want to add themselves. But the red striped background in my opinion would certainly not fall under the category of appearing too similar to the original.
