Here's a lullaby to close your eyes...

Hm.. Lute's death in the Violinist of Hameln manga is probably the only thing i've ever cried over in written format, and i've always kinda wanted to draw something that reflected it so tada- here it is. Was kind of moping the entire time I did this but I enjoyed it. Those of you who've never read the series won't fully get it, but he sacrificed his body and soul to save his baby sister. His arms should be broken in all technicalities but I decided best to leave them intact.

Love Lute <3

Fanart for Violinist of Hameln volumes 25 and 26.

(One thing I should probably point out is that this isn't a spoiler- Lute died 15 years before the actual storyline, its just finding out HOW he died that's the big deal about it. So no worries, you've not been spoiled.. he's been dead for a long while)
