Hello I was just wondering if there was something I did wrong when I submitted creations.  It has been several days and the status for them is still waiting for validation.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

I don't think so. Sometimes it takes a while for things to get validated. I've submitted some rocketdock skins in the past and sometimes it takes over a week to get validated.

If it gets refused, it would say so and a reason would be posted.

Also, put your creation in .png format so it won't be white on the outside, but transparent instead.  

Yeah it does take a while to get images validated.  So many people submit but there are only limited validators.

But if you have submitted the image you have posted here, it probably will not be accepted.  You should make it transparent as a .png format.  Also there is a bit of aliasing on the top of the head and the left "arm" has the very tip cut off.

It is a nice tux and would like to see it again with these points reworked

Thanks for the tips, I'm still learning and I've only been using photoshop for about 5 days so any help is appreciated.

Very good for five days I must say

Are you using a glass filter on the tux?  You should try out the actual layer styles  They can really make a image stand out.

My first time messing with it, I just clicked a bunch of buttons and slid a bunch of sliders.  If you don't like something, you can always hit "undo"

Ok well I guess you answered my question about validation.  But here is an updated version of my tux.
