I hadn't seen this beauty, it's really very annoying to no longer receive email notifications.
i couldn't agree more! despite regularly checking on the "new art" page, I'm sure I'm missing loads (apologies if any of them are yours!)
I have the same problem than Kordouane : I don't receive notifications! Very interesting compo and nice lighting!
This is just perfect. I especially love the highlights and flow of the shimmery gown. Great lighting!
