After completing my previous deviation, I found myself compelled to create another piece with underlying themes of princesses or fairy tales. However, I also wanted to create a piece that had some slight creepy elements. After some serious artist's block trying to bring a concept to life, I finally got one that combines both themes!

I rarely draw any artwork for Adventure Time, but I read up on the wiki page that the character Peppermint Butler is slightly influenced by Sebastian Michaelis from Black Butler. I just wanted to play into that in a new deviation. For this one, I found myself compelled to create an atmosphere that is symbolic of Princess Bubblegum's character and history, as well as her relationship with Peps. She has had tragedies and trauma similar to what Ciel Phantomhive had experienced before they became the royal and noble they are, and what motivates them in their endeavors. At least they have their loyal butlers by their sides through whatever is going to happen.

I like how the piece came out overall. I do hope it gives a sense of where Bubblegum is coming from, and I hope I pulled off the creepy factor I was going for with Peppermint Butler. By the looks of it, Sebastian isn't the only Hell of a butler here.
