Why does my drawing keep getting rejected?

It got rejected the first time and I wasn't given a reason, I thought maybe it was the size so I resized it, but I just got rejected again and this time the bot said "same reason as last time" but I wasn't given a reason! D: does anyone know why it keeps getting rejected? I'm thinking maybe it's the watermark I put on...?

Same happened here. MrBasil is pretty strict when it comes to cropping.

Weird, I never got a reason in my first rejection mail. Well, hopefully the watermark was the problem and it's gone now! :'D

alrighty - it's gone! hopefully it'll be ok now, haha. if not, I guess it was never meant to see the light of day.

@Pavchka - aw thanks! I'm glad you like it. I like when people like my stuff.

It's the watermark promoting your deviantart! Remove that!

Quality is most certainly not the problem. It has the be the watermark.

What an incredibly cute thing. I'll make sure to like it.

@Smellyphant thanks! if you want to resize something in paint it's a bit more restrictive but you can click "resize" next to the square select button if you're using windows 7, then you just put a number like 75, 50, 25 etc - the smaller the number, the small the resize percentage is. So if you put 75, it will re size to a 75% smaller version etc. I used photoshop to resize which is a lot better... you can also upload something to imageshack which will resize it for you, if you want it to - it's good too!

lol @StiKman19. alright well I'm thinking it's the watermark too... I don't want to resubmit it for a 3rd time if it's something else - mr. basil might get PO'd at me and decided not to accept it, [b]ever[/b]. haha.

Oh it does have that, I put the two harpy sprites above the watermark in the basil version. Sorry, should've added that to my OP too.
