Hello everyone, I've recently come across this site and was hoping to enter some of my pieces into the gallery. However I received a message regarding my piece dubbed "Fire Arrow." The message reads as follows, "Your small file (preview image) should match the detail file (full image)." I am having great difficulty understanding what this means. Since my preview icon is literally the same image as my skill icon but 18 pixels smaller in order to correctly fit the preview icon size.
If anyone knows how I can remedy this I would love to hear what you have to say.

I suspect the mods accidentally sent you the wrong message. The problem is that your preview file is NPA (not pixel art), not that it doesn't match. It's an automatically resized and blurry version of your full file, which is not acceptable on PJ. Overall, I think you would be better off uploading the art at 1x instead of with any kind of zoom, since PJ has a zoom feature. That way, you can use the 1x file as your small file, and don't need a detail file. |

Yes, it was about the preview being scaled and NPA.
Use the pencil icon under the art to upload an edit and hit submit again :) ------------- |
