Submissions are Open!

[Petie]

I'm just making an honest observation. I know how new spriters can be. A huge reason why new spriters join this community in the first place is to try and submit their customs sprites. Most don't stick around after rejection but some actually stay and improve.

While I still think you're over-thinking this, we did just add a new reason for rejection, specific to the Custom / Edited section. The message sent with that particular rejection encourages artists to improve with the community's help and links them directly to the Spriting and Pixel Art board so that should hopefully help people understand that rejection isn't a final thing while also inviting them to become active in the community.
