Title: Need advice on vector
Post by: pauloresende on May 28, 2009, 05:23

I get a email were istock said "We're sorry, but we did not find this file suitable as stock." and send me a link where i can find what istock Need and don´t Need http://www.istockphoto.com/illustrator_7.0_neededfiles.php.


After reading the articule i i don´t see my illustration represented on the "Don´t need" part. What can i do?


The illustration is this:(http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/9503888/2/istockphoto_9503888-super-hero-flying.jpg)
Is this some error or istock don´t need my illustration but forgot to said in that articule that they don´t need superhero´s also?

I´m also place this message at istock forum but no one said noting...:(

I think they just gave you a generic reason for rejection. I read the critiques you got on istock and I thought those were pretty accurate. I agree that some of the anatomy seems a little off. Especially where the head and neck meet the chest. I'd redraw it and resubmit.

You have some nice illustrations in your portfolio, so I think the reviewers hold you to those standards of work that you have establish with your portfolio.

I do agree!! I think that i need to let my work rest a few day´s in my computer and then take a look again. When i do this one it look fine but now i do also think that the anatomy is freaky...
Thank you

You need to not take a rejection so serious.   I think they are bound to reject a certain percentage or something :-[  Feels like that when images of exactly same quality and kind in a batch get either rejected because of  " not suitable for stock " or approved.   It´s also a human factor.
