When covid-19 pandemic started I created several illustrations related to it. I used Inkscape to create them. Initially, I intended to upload my designs on my RedBubble Shop.
In my post ’32 Days of Quarantine’, I also used one of these illustrations as the featured image for that post.

During those times, I also tried uploading some of my illustrations to Pixabay. In my first attempt, all three illustrations were rejected. I replaced the images bigger dimension but were still rejected. I knew that the quality of my work was not sacrificed when I increased the size since I was working on vector graphics which are scalable.
I left the images with their status ‘REJECTED’.
I still use some images from pixabay from time to time, but never went back to look at my own images again.
When I did yesterday, I was surprised to see my three works were up online! And my ‘coronavirus ‘ image was viewed 54 times and downloaded 18 times already.

I don’t expect to receive any ‘coffee treat’ soon but I think I can add Pixabay on my portfolio soon.
P.S.
Don’t mind my selfie photo on Pixabay. I already asked the admins to delete it. 😀

Thanks, doc. Though pixabay could not be really an income-generating site. But I think it will be good for the portfolio.
see below (i click reply in the wrong place).
Tried once to upload and it was rejected so never tried again
Pixabay is quite strict when it comes to quality. But their admins are very helpful. I think they will you what’s wrong with your image if you ask them.
hat is awesome – most of my images are unfixeable (past events) so probably not a good fit for me
