Hi, I've received a deletion report over my recent Bleach wallpaper which I've contributed here (Minitokyo) : http://blackstorm.deviantart.com/art/WALLPAPER-Grimmjow-01-187612088
Quote: Nytestorm,
The wallpaper you have submitted ([url=http://gallery.minitokyo.net/view/503325][/url]) was removed for one or more of the following reasons:
- It was too simplistic.
- The subject was too blurry or over-filtered.
- It used screenshots or unmodified stock photos.
- It was a low-effort wallpaper.
- It was an alternate version of an existing wallpaper. Please only upload one version of a wallpaper. If you wish to display alternate versions, you may post an offsite link.
- It did not feature an anime-style image.Minitokyo only accepts wallpapers that meet certain standards of quality. For help with making wallpapers, refer to the Art & Design Lounge and/or Sandbox.
Sincerely,Minitokyo Staff

Additional information provided by the moderator:
Low scan quality, no composition
For some reason I find it hard to grasp, as my other wallpaper designs that I've created and contributed here are created similarly yet are accepted.
- Is it's because it's too simple? Not enough special effects/filters/modifications? I've seen a lot of overly simple wallpapers here like one character standing centered or at one side of the wallpaper, over a simple textured background with minor or way too much filtering.
- Over filtered? Hardly, in my opinion. Blurry? I got most of stock from this very site, high quality (with the exception of the one breaking the headphone), I did not alter them to look blurry.
- There's no screenshot used on it. As mention above these are from scans I got off this site, and they're slightly modified on the wallpaper.
- Low effort? While I can't honestly tell how long it took me as I don't necessarily timed whatever things I do, be it drawing or creating graphics, but I took some time and effort mulling over which 'stock' to use or which fits, then compose them, etc..It's not something I did in merely a minute.
- I browsed through all the Grimmjow wallpapers here and there are no wallpapers that are similar to my version.
- "It did not feature an anime-style image." That explanation does not compute.
- Low quality and not composed? As I've said above I got these scans high quality from this very website, I did not 'down-grade' it in any way, and it's clearly composed, so I do not understand this explanation. It feels a tad appalling.
The stocks I used for the wallpapers are these:-
Bleach A 2011 Calendar Nov Dec
Bleach#482781
Valentine's Day 2010
BLEACH
B-Station 3rd Season Vol.2 cover album
Seeing that the report is vague and 'automated', I would like to know if this is some kind of mistake, but if otherwise I would appreciate a specific clear explanation as to why it's removed, along with suggestion / constructive critique, as I would like to know what's wrong so I may redo it to meet your standard.
Thank you.
