I've already clarified that these characters are not AI generated. I hired an artist to make me specific designs in high resolution with clean lines (which AI generated ones have a problem making... not to mention it's hard to make specific character design and posture you want)
I do also make AI generated images, but I always tick the box that are AI generated.
Ok, sorry, then I misunderstood you. I wonder whether the high resolution and clean lines are that important, though, if the character lacks details like mouth or nose. At least I can see neither.
I doubt it's because of missing mouth or nose. I have more different designs of characters and others where noses and mouths are more visible were rejected with same reason. I think the reason is in the IP, not so much in the austhetics and technical properties.

Funny you ask... because there were many images and videos I've uploaded that I have no clue why would they be used and they have sold anyways.
It can happen, but I still think that a picture with a useful concept has a better chance of selling.
Concerning this picture: There are alot of little things that dsiturb me a bit about it. Not a lot of the picture is sharp, the girls or women somehow seem to be hovering over these plates or tiles and the proportions seem a bit weird. They miss a clearly defined mouth or nose and the breasts are overemphasized. The hands are weird.
Character has been used multiple times as animation and a part of an image in the past and has sold multiple times... so I doubt any of this would now matter. Now when I made figures of them they found a "problem"?

We do not provide specific, detailed custom rejection responses as that would extend the wait time for moderation far beyond what it is now. I suggest you post a sample of content you feel was rejected in error here for impartial feedback from the MSG community. It's hard to see our own work through impartial eyes, you may get some feedback that you hadn't thought of before.
Good luck,
Mat Hayward
Hi Matt,
Here is one example of rejected image:
I appreciate you sharing the example. I'm not sure I understand the concept of this image however. If a customer were to purchase a license to use this image, what would they use it for?

Funny you ask... because there were many images and videos I've uploaded that I have no clue why would they be used and they have sold anyways. So I stopped asking myself why and how would something be used, I just make visually appealing stuff and the customer finds a way to use them. Meanwhile I've made dozens of sets of "useful" concepts in the past and had no sales.... so, yea.

No. I hired someone to make me an original character design...
Were they cheap?
No. I am seriously considering just dropping this stock industry crap and start drawing... I could boost sales of my artwork through my filming knowledge and make better money. Just thinking about making investments FOR making stock footage and then getting rejected makes me sick to my stomach. Meanwhile I had 95% approval rate with all AI generated images and had many sales already. Makes you think twice about what should be the logical course of action. There is a good saying: "The only way of making money in photography is by selling all your gear."
But there are people who photograph weddings and make more money than in stock photography. You could venture into that business, but that requires assistants, specialization and equipment.
If you are very skilled and want some real earning and not just some bucks for your hobby I would try wedding photography in your local regions. The prices are quite high for some hours of work. I imagine already now how these guys then all will use AI to enhance their photos *lol*.
In an age where anyone with a cheap camera or even a smartphone can shoot a wedding you just can't compete. I don't know where are you from, but already a decade ago whatever your pricing for a wedding shoot was, there will be always someone who will do it for peanuts. Its a waste of time in my opinion and I've never looked again in this B2C industry. That's why I also work in commercial B2B industry, where you have to know your craft of lighting, camera and composition to make high quality products. And it is also a lot more creative. I do stock mostly for training my style and stuff that I'm really passioned about.

I'm getting rejections that don't have any sense and I don't know how to contact Adobe to clarify these rejections. Do they even have any way of contacting, or do I just spam same image/videos until I get banned from the platform?
"Thanks for giving us the chance to consider your image. Unfortunately, we found that it doesn't meet our needs so we can't accept it into our collection.
Possible reasons:
- Non compliant use of another artists name.
- Undeclared Generative AI Content.
- Content not compliant with overall guidelines:

Did u create content with AI software or not?
No. I hired someone to make me an original character design I can use in live action shot videos and images. With property release of course. For any AI generated images I checkbox that is AI generated. And this all pisses me off, because I can't contact anyone at Adobe.

Adobe doesnt give a crap about our footage and images... if they would give a crap, there would be a contact email at each rejection to get a more useful information why it was rejected.

There is no upside to long waiting lines, if your images get rejected for "intelectual reasons" even if all releases are attached. And you have to resubmitt it all again and wait for a month... and they don't have even any email to contact Adobe to clear out their nonsense rejections.

I stopped shooting stock for the purpose of agencies needs, and shoot only what interests me and also upload to stock agencies whatever may sell. They can stick their woke diversity and same repeating yearly themes into their butthole. If they have a problem with that, they are homophobic and I'll sue them.

you've even been in the top 2000.... I have over 18k of media on Adobe and scrapping the barrel since forever in the bottom 18000 rank.

But many of them - like me - have not uploaded anything because they are frustrated with the way shutterstock has dealt with the contributors. And for that they are currently being punished.
The more I upload videos to SS, the less my income. Probably the SS is punishing me for not loading only masterpieces. 
I think everything is simpler, or the SS is stealing my money, or the search algorithms there work in such a way that the SS manually decides which authors to promote and which ones to push.
same here... I have worse sales with 20000 of video footage, than with 2000 I had 8 years ago. Disgusting.

I did nominate images... but I won't do it for video... this is such a low price. Not worth it.

« on: July 20, 2022, 00:29 »
I agree... I have a big drop in income because of cheap video sales.

Well, that was quick not a lot for first batch, but better than nothing.

« on: June 29, 2022, 03:57 »
Matt, when can we expect the first batch to be approved? This month's sales is down the drain and some extra funds would be great to begin the summer slump.

for me it's quite a shity stats for video... number of sales slowly rise because of the photos I also upload, but the income is dropping (15k+ video, 2k+ photos)

I didn't even see the new page... I guess Shittystock doesn't like me so much that beside destroying my sales, now they don't even show me the new design.

Wasn't the last time a counter that showed you how many files you've selected?

maybe that is why photos from same shooting sets are selling better than footage.
