Contributor Critics, please evaluate my illustration rejections

I assumed them being software generated illustrations that a 'quality rejection' would not be referenced, almost as if it's being considered an out of focus photograph?  Any criticism or suggestions will be greatly appreciated, for I am obviously having a problem processing and submitting digital art. Thanks in advance >buzz

Correct answer Abambo

Why shouldn't quality issues not be part of illustration rejections? You need to read the manuals. There are a bunch of things that you can get wrong with vector graphics.

 

Your illustrations look like bad photographs, where you applied some kind of fancy filter and then did a bad job cutting out the bee and flower.

 

This is probably not the kind of art that Adobe stock looks at. I'm sorry, but even if the cutout job had been perfect, this would have earned a refusal.

I believe I've discovered my problem and the issue involves file format, whereas submitting as a .png (which can have quality issues) as opposed to vector based files, this is where I messed up. Should have done more research before posting, sorry for wasting space

First of all, you are never "wasting space" when you post here looking for help. There is a community of fellow Contributors who are willing and eager to assist you in finding the answers to help you become a successful Stock Contributor. Additionally, I don't think that selecting the wrong file format is responsible for the cutout errors that are so prevalent along the edges of your images, so it appears that more work is required.

yes I agree, I'm trying to create .png artwork from photo-traced images and I see that I must practice more prior to attempting another submission
