Question

why reject my image?

Hi everyone,

I recently submitted an illustration to Adobe Stock, but it was rejected due to "similar content." I want to clarify that this is an original piece that I hand-drew myself. I’ve never uploaded any other version of it to Adobe Stock—not even the version with text.

The character and design are completely original and not AI-generated. I’m trying to understand what existing content Adobe thinks it’s similar to, but I haven’t been able to find anything that matches.

If anyone has experienced something similar or knows how to get more details from Adobe about these kinds of rejections, I’d really appreciate your insight.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure what it's supposed to be.

A lion, a tiger, a man in an animal suit? 

Try using other keywords.

As we have already reported, Adobe feels that the new rejection policy based on "Similar Content" is working fine. Unfortunately, we do not know what is being compared. If you would take the time to follow this forum, you would find out that this is a very common issue.
