Hi, I made this wallpaper some time ago but...
It kept being rejected from the gallery. This is the fourth revision (no, I'm not giving up just yet XD). The gallery mods told me it was because there's a lot of jpeg artifacts on my scan. Could anybody please tell me what that means because I don't know what's a jpeg artifact and I have no idea on how to clean them.
Here it is 
This is the scanand this is the backgroundYour comments and critics are much welcome. Thank you very much.

can you also post a link to the scan?... the sky looks nice... but i'm not sure about the grass... it looks a bit too blurry for the style of the scan... the grass would look better with a painted style... but i think that here you need to try something different, more clean and sharp... Also the text look rather distracting... i would get rid of the lines around and just stick with a simple smaller text goodluck!

Oh, and I have a question. If I submit this several times and kept being rejected will I get banned (it's the fourth revision, for the same title). Hm, should I try to submit again or just quit and try to make something else? (o_o)

They have a faqs to answer your question about submitting and getting band. I think that the wall looks really good.

no you won't get banned... you just get -100 papers per rejection... looks better.. but try too merge/mix the lower part of the grass... i mean it would look better if i could only see the sharp tips and not the lower part from where the grass grows.. i hope you get what i mean... cause if you look at it now.. it seams to be like all scratched.. the part where the grass grows shouldn't be soo visible and sharp ass the tip part.. Also try another fonts.. search on google.. and download some.. it's looking nice ^^

Umm, how's this?
Do anybody see jpeg artifact? I tried to save it with better quality (the file size is bigger now) hope that fix the problem...

OK, i think i somehow know why your wallpaper keep getting rejected: the lineart. from your latest version, i can see the the outline thickness is not constant. try comparing the guy in red's outline of his face, to his right leg, for instance; the outline for the leg is pretty thick, while the one on his face is half-there.
the font for the title is nice, but i don't think a solid black is a good colour to blend in that wallpaper. perhaps, a similar colour to the characters' shadows is prefered.
finally, if there's anything else bugging me, i think it's just the texture of the sky. somehow it kinda shows me that the scan seems to be just simply pasted on the bg, rather than blending in.

i don't agree at all... the sky looks fine.. and the outlines thickness is ok.. they are from the original scan.. so there is not much that you can do about it.. besides the thickness is not meant to be constant.. even in vectors it changes..
Ok back to the wall.. the grass looks much better... fix a little the right side.. and the lines are still too noticable.. maybe it could look better if you try adding more lines of grass... to make it more filled (but try not to make it look scratched) get rid of the japanesse text on the right-top corner...
and again the title is not right >_< why don't you try cutting it... like this... Journey to a New horizon
and you could get rid of the star thing at the back.. and just play with the colors of the text... change fonts, and try glowing effects.. goodluck!!

Um..hi! Anyway I just thought I'd say that perhaps the "jpeg artifacts" is the cracked-looking bg. I know that's the way it's supposed to be, but maybe they mistook it. It's just a guess though, so good luck getting it in. ^_^

ohhh i totaly forgot about the jpg artifacts!!!... silly me.. what they mean is that there is some noise on your scan and the colors are not so good... to fix that, you need to clean the scan... so follow this tutorial...http://www.imanimetions.net/tutorial/tutorial.php?view=clean
