And the only comfort he would receive from his expired lover would be the sounds of her plucked shamisen strings, his fingers guiding hers, the muted tones echoing summer ghost's cries during the hot, stagnant nights. Sandalwood strings swirl in the air, swaying to the hollow hymn.
This is my second piece for and 's fanart contest for their upcoming book: Apologue. I had the idea that maybe in a futile effort to hear some sort of sound from his lover again, Shem would first (before she started to decay too much) try to make an instrument out of her (OR PERHAPS A TABLE?!). I should have had her covered in wire so it would have obvious that he could bend her to his liking, but whatever.
i think its beautiful to have the idea of preserving a lover as an instrument; the multiple incenses are a nice realistic touch to remind us death is not sweet.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
The Cutting Edge is a weekly article that features brand new selected high quality art products that caught our eyes. Check out the cutting edge prints some of your fellow artists have submitted in the past week!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example.

Seriously, tho, beautiful hair and face and even the creepy instrument/leg bits are pretty, too <3
