Hello, I'm new to the world of microstock but I'm very excited because I would love to make some money with my artwork.

I'm doing some illustrations to uploading to Shutterstock, but the site does not give much information or advice on how to optimize the application process (first ten images).

I wonder if it is necessary to offer a very different variety of illustrations, because I specialize in one type of ilustarciones, and would send the 10 like that, can i be rejected by this?

I think that for illustrations if they are good enough variety isn't as important a for photographers.

It's like a job interview. Show them your very best, and give them a good idea of what you can do. Stay fairly close to your main style, so that you aren't misrepresenting yourself, but otherwise, show off as much as you can. There's a forum for discussion, and you can get critiques from other contributors in the Illustration section, before you submit, if you like.
