Rejection of illustrations for quality reasons

Hello. I have been drawing and submitting clipart illustrations for three years now and never had any quality issues, but lately illustrations have been rejected en masse due to quality, what could be the reason? I've never used AI and don't intend to, maybe the reviewers think these are generated illustrations. Or are they really low quality?

Hi @Andrew Lynchak 

The only issue I find is that the lines are not expanding smoothly as I zoom in. This is the case with all the files you post here.

Thanks for the reply. But I draw in PNG format, not in vector, it is normal for bitmap images, I used to draw like that, but now such illustrations are rejected((((

In whatever format you draw, you need to achieve smooth lines on image expansion, not Jagged lines.

Over the past three years, I've submitted 2700 illustrations, and only 36 have been rejected.
As for those 36, I uploaded them at first without knowing anything and just changed the background color, and there were too many uploaded ones with very similar fish scale patterns.
I've done some AI image work, but most of the reasons I've read on this forum are why AI images are rejected.
Seeing that they didn't tolerate even the smallest mistakes, I started to doubt whether I could actually pass.
Looking at that, I predicted that AI drawing judgment criteria would soon be applied to illustrations as well.
A few days ago, out of the 100 illustrations I uploaded with more care than usual, 20 were rejected en masse.
I expected something like this to happen, but when it actually happened, I felt so shocked and bleak.
Because I draw 100% vectors and upload png files, I rarely make quality mistakes.
But... if you apply the criteria for judging AI drawings, it is bound to make a lot of mistakes. People who draw directly make more mistakes than AI. No matter how carefully you draw, you can't perfectly draw all the intersections of lines in a very complex drawing.
Up until now, it was considered acceptable as it was included in the creator's intention, but I think it is unreasonable to apply AI drawing standards to human drawings.
But.. I think this could be an opportunity, because there can't be any more new illustrators.
I was amazed at how great your painting was, and I was terrified that it was rejected, because that's what happened to me and it's what will happen to me in the future.
I think it's sad but I have to accept it because it's something I expected.

This could be an opportunity, it could be a frustration, and I can't help but feel anxious about future earnings as I see AI expanding its scope to vector graphics.
If it's a rule that applies to everyone....then someone with skills like you might have an advantage. I guess you should accept it.

You're absolutely right. I think for some people AI is a salvation, but for artists it's competition, and soon artists will fall by the wayside. I hate AI because on other similar sites reviewers often reject my illustrations suspecting they are AI created, but I never use AI.

Everything is therefore a matter of perception and the evolution of artistic practices. In the end, it is the client who decides.
