A lot of deviations in the Blueberry Fetish gallery are being removed on "poor quality" criteria listed below;

MS Paint
Very poor choice of digital freeware, notorious for the lack of anti-aliasing that gives linework an unpleasant pixellated appearance, as well as a loss in picture resolution when the image is saved under most formats. Exceptions only for skilled pixel artists.

Pencils/colored pencils
Shading and coloring gives distinctive back-and-forth pencil grain texture. There are obvious exceptions for very experienced pencil artists.

Low-light Photos/scans
Linework becomes difficult to see or lost in the paper grain.

Awkward Multimedia
Editing a photo by hand-drawing into it is an awkward and unpleasant mixture. Also includes poorly positioned or overfilled text bubbles with difficult-to-read text.

No faces
Difficult to identify just what we are looking at and why. Very small or difficult-to-see faces may be acceptable depending on the context of the picture.

Bad faces, anatomy, or general design
Self-explanatory, but judged on a case-by-case basis as styles vary and exaggerating proportions is expected.

Not Dynamic
Characters depicted are always completely facing the viewer or feel flat and static, uninteresting or oversimplistic poses.

Deja Vu art
Template art, and/or the same pictures with redrawn heads/physical features. If you have many pictures that appear very similar, choose only your favorite one and submit it alone. If you are posting "in progress" art pieces separately, we will keep only the "most recent/finished" in our gallery. This extends to colors and recolors of previously submitted work.

Poor colors
Obnoxiously bright color schemes, terrible shading, things that obviously detract from overall visual appeal.

Not related to Blueberry Fetish
Artwork completely unrelated to the group, or primarily focused on other aspects of Expansion fetish will be removed. On a case-by-case basis other "fruit" transformations may be acceptable.

If I've missed anything important, don't be shy and speak your mind.

I use MS Paint and bases but I try my best to make it decent quality. Is that alright or does using MS Paint automatically make your artwork poor quality
