     I guess they are not quite of the quality to make it to the wallpaper section but good enough to go to your galley instead of being exiled.

This questions is asked by all skinners at times but more so when they frist start out.

I visited you gallery library and will say they are not bad wallpapers.  What you maybe coming up against is other wallpapers submitted at the same time you submitted just had that something special goin on with them. 

Now I'm not a skinner, no talent what so ever.  Usually what I see as comments when this question is asked is "Don't lose sight of the reason you started skinning, it was for your own enjoyment."  Another comment is "With time and more skins being done your talent and skill with improve and be noticed."

I know that isn't the response you were looking for but hang in there, the community is always looking for new skinners to support.

As one with a smallish bit of experience with the 'not quite right' end of the stick I'd suggest you just accept it as a learning experience and move on to your next attempt.  I try to remember, when it comes to those that judge our submissions, that 'not every blossom is a rose' (IOW, beauty is in the eye of the beholder) and try to be a little more self-critical when I render my next potential submission.  Also, I delete the rejected image from my personal site (since very few are likely to ever see it any way) to save on server space at WC.

But don't get discouraged 'cuz, from what I've heard, it happens to even the best of skinners (though I certainly don't put myself in that catagory) from time to time...

Mine got knocked back saying they don't accept movie wallpapers, then why is there a section for it , plus mine was my own work, scanned pics and photoshop, not a copy 'n paste of actors.. this wrecks my entire theme I was working on as the wall is the b/ground, without the wall available, I may as well delete all the related widgets.

I thought subscription allowed you to as 'least' display it in your gallery.. but I'm on auto-delete.. so it would seem.

try submitting again and tick the 'to my personal page' box....then....in your widget descriptions.....just link back to your wall in your personal gallery for them to pick it up there.....better than deleting your related widgets...

try again....this time...tick the box....and perhaps even write in the description for the mods...."to personal page only"....(you can always delete that afterwards if you want)....unless there is any particular copyright problem with it.....it should be given 1 star and go to your personal page...

Tailsgirl...You can always create a deviantArt page and upload your wall there and link to it in your wiget description here. DA is part of the community and there's no worries about it being rejected since there is no moderation there that I can see.

I'm not sure if space is an issue more than copyright problems with Wincustomize. Fan art is one thing but it sounds as it your images may be scanned artwork created by someone else which is a no go at WC without permission from the original artist.

one was an image of my own SAW doll, that evil guy, I paid for him, he's mine and I should be able to make a wall from him

perhaps not for redistribution though......

Jafo is the best person to talk to about this tg....send it to him...he'll set you straight on the rules....it always seems to have been a somewhat confusing area....fan art...

 

and yeah...DA is a bit confusing at first..  bit like going from the friendly corner store....to Walmat....it's all still there....just takes an age to find it all..... I tend to stick to WC too....

they can only say no, tg

then perhaps ask jafo for some clarification to help you in future....you're not the only one to be confused by the copyright/fan art issues...

sydney, you know what mate? I only just uploaded it, and it's gone, no trace it ever existed, NOT in Moderation, NOT anywhere.. and once again, NOT an email.. why the hell do I bother.. benefits of subscription so far = NONE

There seems to be an issue from what I see in uploading again.,someone else has brought it to my attention earlier that one of their skins tho stating the upload was accepted, it is no where to be found. It do not show in the mod que either.

 

Your wall probably has met the same fate..

I can assure you there is no conspiracy. But being the uploads were down for almost 2 weeks and we just got them working monday. I will wager its a site issue again.
