My apologies for misleading

Deleted my post with dresses which got crazy amount of reblogs. When I posted it more than half a year ago (I guess), borrowing pictures from FB, I had no clue that was AI-generated as I had little experience defining such things. I was just disappointed of poor quality and tried to google them to find a better resolution and atelier name to give credit to author(s). Failed, so posted as it was. Now I see why those pictures were so blurry. Sorry for unintentional misleading, my luck I signed it "fantasy".

Thanks to all commenters who kindly (or not so kindly) pointed it out for me.

Also thanks for your subscription to my Tumblr. I rarely post but hope you like my taste in fine arts and photography.

Good day to you all!

Seems I've got a new favourite artist. Polish one who has lived and got education in Ukraine during his adolescence, by the way.
