I've read through the quality standards, and I don't see reason as to why my art wasn't accepted and got deleted. I put a lotta work into my drawings, and they're not low-quality, so I'm kinda pissed that it's getting taken down. Could I please know why they weren't accepted?

Please refer to the pinned thread - topic #23578.

There's literally a sticky on this exact subject at topic #23578.
Also see the following from Gelbooru, which doesn't officially apply to e621 but is still sound advice anyway.

Uploading One's Own Art is a Good Way to Get Your Feelings Hurt

Posting one's own art is severely looked down upon, and there are two reasons behind this:

Firstly, artists tend to be biased when it comes to judging the quality of their own work. What looks good to you may be regarded as mediocre to Gelbooru moderators.
Secondly, more suitable sites to upload your own art to include Deviantart and Pixiv.

Admins and moderators are especially harsh on self-posting artists, lashing out penalties without remorse. The surest way to feature your art on Gelbooru is to show immense talent and skill elsewhere, and with that, captivate some fans on the other side of the Internet into uploading your art.

Artists generally can't judge their own work objectively, and e621 is not your personal gallery. Safest route 99% of the time is to post your stuff offsite and then wait for somebody else to take the gamble on whether or not your stuff is good enough.

E621 is not your personal gallery. It's best to post to Furaffinity or Inkbunny, and just share to the E621 discord.
