Description
Happy Valentine´s Day everyone! I had the urge of doing some fanart for Valentine´s Day since a long time, but couldn´t decide on a subject.
Then recently I saw my Mum watching “North and South” on TV, and not very much later they aired “Gone With The Wind” on German television – and the matter was decided.
I´ve wanted to draw Grell in a Scarlett O´Hara inspired dress for soooo long!
This one is loosely based on the white one with the green pattern and the straw hat: [link]
The uniform William´s wearing is supposed to be a US – Union Civil War uniform, firstly because I find them prettier (but that´s just my taste) and secondly because I love tragic love stories.
The uniform is probably completely off…I´ve tried to do some internet research, but it wasn´t very fruitful. Please forgive me, I´m just an ignorant European girl.
The horse featured on the picture is actually an equine OC of my friend *DatNachtmaehre and is called…
…Black Butler !

I love it! Your attention to detail is great, especially with Grell's dress (beautiful!). And wow, William is so handsome (then again, when is he not?). Grell's so lucky.

Why thank you!
I like working on details. I curse myself for doing so, as it´s much of work, but it´s fun nonetheless.
William should wear blue more often, it suits him.

Thank you!
It was Nachti´s idea to take Black Butler as horse for the background, basically just because of the name.
Well, considering that Will IS Grell´s prince, the comparison fits!
No, I didn´t reuse it, but I did use the same colors as in here: [link] . But did you notice that I use the same tree in 90% of my deviations? XD
