Across The Barricades

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!

Pose ref – this wedding picture: [link] - not traced. I don´t own it, I just used it as ref because of the pose´s awesomeness.
