I've tried this twice.....I get why the first one was rejected but I don't get why the second one was rejected. I have another one but at this point I don't even what to try and see if it will be accepted. Only cuz it's a lot of work to get them to the right size with a transparent background. I do mine by hand since I have no skill with a mouse and computer program.....thing.
Is this like really hard to get accepted or are mine just not good enough? I'm very discouraged at this point.

I think stage 1 to 2 may be too similar? The changes look very minimal. Maybe try giving her the shoes or earrings in stage 2? ^_^
Ravaen - Best thing is to perhaps show the stages in this thread so others can see and give you some tips. :) It's not hard to get accepted, as long as your knuffel meet the main rules. :)

@BlackRavean - there are white pixels around the outside, if you try to look at her on a dark background you will be able to see them! Plus I would say there are not quite enough changes between stages one and two or two and three.

Okay. Well I can't get rid of the white around the pixels. I don't know anything about Photoshop so I guess I'll just give up on trying to make them. *sigh*
Thank you for your help.

And 3 and 4 as well as 4 and 5. The only change there are the swords on the back.
If you read the first page of this thread you will see that it is advised to have at least three clearly visible changes per stages.
You only have 2 in stage 1-2, 2 in stage 2-3, 2 in stage 2-4 and 1 in stage 4-5 and most of them aren't any evolutions, but just small alterations of the clothes.

Don't give up! You just need to use the eraser tool around the edges of the design, that's all. There are a few tutorials hanging around on the wild knuffel info thread for photoshop too.

Unfortunately not, she needs to follow these rules:
Your Knuffel must evolve! You have to submit 5 unique, significantly different, gradually evolving stages.
→ Evolving means your Knuffel gradually changes and becomes an "upgraded" new version of itself
→ Striking, clearly visible major changes per stage
→ At least 3 changes per stage, if they are minor things, like "adding gloves" etc, there should be MORE changes per stage.
→ No just adding a few clothes/accessories for every stage (and most of all: Not taking them off again! Your Knuffel must make a progress in evolving. Adding clothes, and then taking them off again or relocating them is no evolution and does not count as any change at all! The same goes for adding body parts like wings, then taking them off again, or letting hair grow, and then chopping it off again. All these things are reverting the evolution again.
→ No suddenly changing clothes into completely different clothes. "Evolve" the clothing too!
All of her stages only have 1-2 changes, and all of them are minor changes like adding stockings.
