The first two look unfinished. Not sure if the yellow bits are necessary or why they are included other than to suggest maybe that the dog is wagging its tail? Then it seems the other marks are randomly added.

[thanyarat_1545]

The missing parts of the outline are intentional—it’s just part of my style. I like having some gaps to make the drawing feel softer and less boxed in. And yes, the yellow lines around the tail show wagging. The other ones that seem random are meant to show the dog’s happiness and excitement. Anyway, I really appreciate your feedback—thanks a lot for taking the time to comment!

One's personal "style" is not necessarily taken into consideration when it comes to stock. You can explain the concept you wanted to convey to me or on this forum in general, but not to the moderators.

[thanyarat_1545]

Thank you for your clarification and for sharing your perspective. I understand that personal style might not be the priority in stock-related matters, and I’ll keep that in mind. I appreciate your time, especially given your recent surgery—wishing you a smooth and speedy recovery!

IMG_0136.png - zoom in and carefully inspect the edges of your design which show some cutout issues. The intersections between the colors of the design also allow the background to show through.

I’ve zoomed in and checked the image, and you’re right — I can see the cutout issues you mentioned. I’ll make sure to improve this in my next work. Thank you very much for your feedback!

Have you carefully read the submission requirements for Vector Graphics?

Thank you for the clarification and the helpful link. Just to clarify, this artwork was not submitted as a vector file but rather as a raster image (PNG). I’ll definitely keep the vector submission guidelines in mind if I decide to submit vector files in the future. Thanks again for your time and support!

Icons, Drawings & Illustrations should most definitely be submitted as Vector Graphics for better sales potential.

Vectors are resolution independent, which means they can be rescaled to any size the customer requires without quality loss. They have more uses than rasters and produce much cleaner, crisper edges. You can't do that with JPEG or PNG files.

Thank you very much for your explanation and suggestion! I appreciate the information about the advantages of vector graphics. I’ll definitely look into learning how to create and submit my work in vector format to increase its potential. Thank you again for your time and support!
