This appears to be another example of artificially generated artwork gone wrong. 

 

HINT: Before submitting, your images must be rendered in high quality upscales which usually costs more for the additional bandwidth and server time.  In post-editing, examine images at 100-300% magnification. Count fingers & toes. Look at details -- hands, arms, eyes & legs. Artificial Intelligence is stupid about details.  Fix all problems, if you can, in post-editing or don't submit.

 Badly reproduced anatomy (screenshots at 100%):

  • hands

     

  • shoulders

     

  • arms

     

  • eyes

     

  • clothed and unclothed areas

     

 

The quality of the picture, even without the above-mentioned anatomical miracles, is terrible, full of artefacts. It looks to me that you upscaled a bad JPEG image to the given size.

 

Whatever you intended to do, I strongly recommend, you read the quality requirement, before submitting again.

You're welcome. I suggest, before submitting to stock, you check your images thoroughly. You will save you and the moderators time, ven that in this case, the refusal was decided on the spot. My analysis was some work, but if you look at the image, you immediatly see that it is wrong.

Hi,

 

it seems that the Picture/Illustration is way to unsharp, blurry lines, the Fingers already mentioned, there are no eyes and not many details in the Illustration. Maybe look for a technically slightly higher Image quality. Hope that helps.
