My Lucario and Pokemon Trainer Habbo sprites were rejected because of "REASON: Only submit your own work."
This is my work. What reason do you have that it isn't mine? I just joined, so I am posting some works I have done in the past. Sprites:

They are edits of existing sprites. The first is an edit of a habbo character, the second is created out of parts of various Lucario sprites. ------------- |

The Habbo one may have a Habbo as a base, but I made everything on the body. Although searching the gallery, I see there are no Habbo alts at all. The Lucario is mine. I created it from scratch, but some parts were fail, so I added parts from other Lucario sprites, like the ears and arm. I might upload the previous version that didn't have the pieces and parts of the other sprites. |

| Regardless of whether or not it's theft, on PJ you're not allowed to use parts from other sprites, "official" or otherwise. |

| On a related note, does this rule include sprites developed from Kaizer templates? Being as they are developed for public use provided credit is given to the HKCP team, I see no immediate reason why this should be so, but just checking. |

Dolls and templates are a gray area. Best to avoid them. Yes they are declared public use, but PJ itself has rules about only submitting 100% originality. So you can see where the problem comes it. -------------  "pwnage comes with patience, practice and planning." ~ Jalonso

So you can see where the problem comes it. Absolutely, I didn't plan on submitting them to my gallery but was worried about being shunned mercilessly were I to post them in the WIP section for criticism. I'm working on original stuff as well but humanoid characters are impossible for me, as artistically retarded as I am, so the templates help. |

You can post them in the WIPs if you want, it's less merciless than the gallery.

I'm sorry that your submissions were rejected and I also do not know why for sure, but I imagine the moderator thought that they could do with more work before they could be considered approvable. I strongly suggest you make a thread in the WIP board in the forum with them as the topic, and ask for critique and comments to help you work-on and perhaps improve the pieces. Good luck and happy pixelling! -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

Yea, I think they were too simply colored for some Mod.

Is it the same if you are going to post something that you've made while following the instructions of a tutorial? When I do so, I start from scratch, making the base pixel by pixel. I guess it is a gray area as well? |

Yes. http://www.gas13.ru/v3/tutorials/isometric_pixelart_tutorial_isometric_house.php - This is a perfect example . Submitting things you've made with tutorials is a bit iffy.

Yeah, I thought as much  Then I have another question: How is it with fan-art? It is not 100% original, since I didn't come up with the idea for, as a example, Card Capture Sakura, but the fanart itself is made by me and my pixels >_>

Fan art is ok. Though Sonics and Marios tend to be frowned upon. Gokus too. adscomics, things get rejected for other reasons too you know. ------------- "pwnage comes with patience, practice and planning." ~ Jalonso

What did your PM say when they were flagged? |
