The relentless spanking from the mods has me questioning wether I should pick a new hobby. The software is kinda pricey - should I just throw in the towel?

odonata.svg - some incomplete, uneven outlines and a few stray spots that should have been eliminated

coyote.svg - same issue

Thank you I see I am too old to Adobe and sorry to have offended you

I don't believe anyone here is offended. Whether you're an actor or an artist, rejection comes with the territory. It's not personal. It's a business.

I like to advise contributors to compare their work with other Stock inventory. It helps to see what other artists are doing in the same keyword category and what Stock has accepted so far.

Not sure what you're paying for. Contributing to Stock costs nothing. If you're paying for software & services, that's a separate matter that's irrelevant to being a Stock Contributor. You could use free software and still be a contributor. Adobe doesn't care what tools you use.

The first is clearly an embedded image in an SVG file. Clear refusal. You have forgotten to vectorize that. And it shows how you probably work. You take drawings and vectorize them and submit as vector files. And you do not address the issues introduced with vectorization, letting that to the customer.

The second is a vectorized asset as described above. If I bought this, I would have returned it straight, as it is not my task to cure your assets.

(I've detached different elements to show the problem).

My final attempt: the cuttlefish. Even on the preview, I see problems:

I'm sorry to say, but if this is your level as a vector asset provider to Adobe stock, I would recommend choosing a different hobby, as you suggested.

Your images are too small to give any advice. Can you post a larger size?

Was the rejection reason for quality issues?

my lack of tech savvy is a problem, I think they are svg files

Also the quality is poor for sure, the fam is biased

Thank you for the critique! Time to start saving for a fishing liscence

@Ricky336 did not see that they are vector assets, but still, the art board was small. And that too may be an issue.

But you did not answer @Ricky336's question about the rejection reason, the reason Adobe gave you (only the heading).
