Re: Why was my Wild Knuffel rejected?

Hello there, all! I have some quick questions.

I keep getting the sad "Your knuffel has been rejected!" message [okay, only twice, but still. D:] and I was wondering what was wrong.

I got the "Read rule 5." In which I did over and over again.

This is the knuffel I'm working on currently. Now, I read in the thingy ma-bobber this: → No pieces of the background must be attached to the Knuffel (no background elements: no grass, no windows, no shadows, no stars, no rain, no trees, no furniture, nothing unless it is something STRONGLY connected to the evolution of the Knuffel!)

Well, I'm doing the Cheshire Cat from our very own... BUM BUM BUMMM. xD You should all know~! And the way I saw it, everything in the picture relays to the cheshy cat in every way/shape/form.

The swirl around her because in the movie, there's loads of times where swirls come into place, kind of like saying "You're no longer sane, blondie." The hat for the mad hatter. Cards for the Queen of Hearts. The tea cup because of tea time. And the white rose with red paint dripping because "We're painting the roses red~!"

Also, I did read the "No smudges" rule. I took away the full body smudges, although I was trying to get the "furry" look on her, since she is a cat. But, that was fine with me ^^. The ones on her legs, though. I wanted something to look like fur, and if I have to put something under it, like a black legging flarey thing [cannot think of the word!] I will, no biggie. :P

So, my mind is a bit boggled, if anyone can enlighten me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I try really hard to do things on my own first, but I was told not to submit it again until I posted here and asked questions. :mccry:

You know... additional elements reference must be known not only to you, but to others as well. I havn't seen any "Alice (...)" books, nor did I watch the movie and I don't get the ref at all. As much as I can only guess the cards etc, swirls seem not needed, not connected directly to knuffel and making bg not clean...
Other elements seem to just randomly fly around too, without any order or reason, what doesn't look best to be honest. If you really want your cat to have refs to other Alice elements, why don't you evolve her into them? Like make her wear tiny hat similiar to MadHatter hat, make her hold rose or cards, or give her rose/cards design on dress, make hypnotising swirls show up in her eyes. Make those elements integral part of knuffel, something interesting, don't just drop them into background.

You might want to keep hat in dress color scheme to make it fit more, but yeah :>

DaniellePhantom - I think you need more changes between stages. I only see two changes from stage 1 and 2. On 4th stage I would make the dress com half way down so it looks like some kind of shirt. You could even do the same for the leggings.

She is looking cool! =3

I was thinking about making a cat knuffle but I'm unsure the base is acceptable.
This is the base that I drew:

I'm going to add wings in a later stage that will take up most of the space on the cat's back.

I don't think this base is proportional ^^'

The tail is a bit too thin near the base, try putting just a small curve so that it doesn't look so thin for the curve that goes around behind the body. :3
