I have just discovered that my five latest paintings sets have been reported (all by the same person) for not having in-game preview shots.

No-one else has mentioned this and there is nothing saying it is compulsory to include in-game shots for 'objects' on the submissions page.  I have read and followed all of the 'rules' regarding submissions and my creations have been accepted and published, so surely if I was doing something wrong, this would not have happened.

I have not changed my way of submitting items since I started uploading sets, so why have my paintings only now been reported?

Could it be because the person who reported me also creates paintings?!!

I test my paintings in-game before I publish them, so I know they are fine, and I have had no negative feedback regarding any of them.

Everyone has the right to present their creations how they wish and my chosen way of presenting my paintings sets is in a frame, which I think is quite apt.

I always include previews of the actual paintings close-up so people can see what they are downloading - something you can't always see in screenshots, especially of multiple paintings hanging on a wall, with other objects included in the picture.  Yes, some look really pretty, but when I’m looking to download something, I’d rather see the actual item itself rather than a screenshot of a room containing the item in the distance, with very little detail visible – that’s just my preference, but I know a few people who feel the same.

I also think that displaying my sets in the same unique fashion every time is helpful to people who are particularly looking for my creations as it makes them stand out amid all the others.  Again, that’s how I look at the previews when I’m searching for downloads – you get to know the style the artist uses and if it’s the same, or very similar every time, you are automatically drawn to that picture and item.

Anyway, if anyone would like to pass comment on the way I present my paintings, please feel free to do so – I won’t be offended and would appreciate the feedback.

Thanks!

P.S. – And if the person who reported me would like to reveal the reason why they suddenly decided to do so, that would be appreciated too.
