Two Stunning Ladies

Happy Birthday, *DatNachtmaehre!

Yes yes, I know, it's too early, but to be quite honest - I couldn't wait to see your face!

What's so exciting about Grell Sutcliff with a horse, you say?
And Grell Sutcliff in a skull-cherry dress?

See, I've made this picture as a birthday present for *DatNachtmaehre.

Her favourite horse OC is her blind Russian Don mare Beringia:


When we were living together in Hamburg, we had a small but cosy secondhand-shop in our neighbourhood, and one day we saw that red petticoat-like dress with the skull-cherries on it in the window. *DatNachtmaehre fell in love with it at first sight, but it was way too small for her...
She said it'll be perfect for Grell, though.

Finally, she's a HUGE Grell fangirl (just like me, hihihi! ), so what better than to combine all of this in one picture?

This was actually the first time I've tried cell shading on a horse...wouldn't have ma,aged it without *noblestallion's amazing video tutorial: [link]
