Post it here so we can see. Once it gets rejected we can't see it anymore in the gallery.

because of the general quality of the piece. i'd have to actually see it before I can point out what specifically, but overall it was deemed the piece needed more work.

simplifying form is ok, but you should work from a base in reality i.e. photo of squirrel. pose is boring and undynamic, which is necessary given boring angle. light source is confusing, banding on the tail, etc

I've seen alot worse pieces accepted. and light source; find a reference? i actually made this based on a icture and i followed the light source from the picture and i kept the same pose. i did a pretty good job spriting it i thought.

perhaps it was just a bad picture in terms of light source. hmm...so what do you think i should do so i can get this accepted?

if worse pieces were accepted you can bet they weren't let in than me. there is a grey area and different mods have different standards. sounds like you use boring reference pictures, but again, I'd have to see the picture to know how faithfully the pixel follows it (or if it should). the things i mentioned in my last post are areas that need improvement. i'd work larger, as well

Forget what other things may have been accepted at any other point in the past. Are you striving to create something that is just barely acceptable for the gallery or are you trying to make the best piece you possibly can?

Let's take a look at this piece here:

Note the colours, the lighting, the readability of the character and its dynamic stance. Compare it to your piece.

Also, please read the rules before submitting a piece! The image you showed a few posts back was NOT the image you submitted. You submitted this:

When you submit stuff to the gallery, please make sure you remove all extraneous parts - this means remove the process steps and remove the white background. Remember that you are submitting it to a gallery, we want finished, polished and presentable work.

yeah i probably should have taken out the steps, but i didn't know if people wanted to see them or not... and i made a cool character and wanted to upload it. i didn't want to spend the next year making a fully awesome peice like that one.
