    Efe! This brought tears to my eyes - amazing, touching, haunting...

    Just, wow.
  • Efehan plus 5 months ago
    You are so sweet, Higlet. I can still remember when I first heard Ancestors, the strange haunting images that came to my mind ... and it makes me so content that myself and Jed managed to bring out that same thing in visual form.

    Thank you for all your support, like, always.
