Aargh! I've been uploading a new set of vectors all week, all accepted...
today, all rejected
Edges--Paths are sloppy and/or poorly constructed.
Reference Image -- A reference image is required for this image.
All of them.
I'm uploading hundreds of vectors. Shutterstock ain't getting a reference image with each and every one. I get so frustrated with them sometimes, I think of dropping them even if they ARE my best seller.
*grump*
I'm going to resubmit them without changes.

I think what bugs me most about the request for reference images is that we're artists.
It's easy to create a "reference image" from the vector illustration itself.
What does it accomplish?
If something seems to be traced from a photo, sure, ask for the photo for reference. But this? From a photo?

Approved. I thought so.

when you upload to shutter, in the comment box put " I don't have a reference, I made from my imagination directly in adobe illustrator " or some words to that effect.
