By Shonocondo First Commission Of 2025!! After So Long Of Taking A Comm Break. I Chose This As The Theme

by shonocondo first commission of 2025!! after so long of taking a comm break. i chose this as the theme because i saw a pmmm art with the same theme. i felt like it fit hamelin and his reality well. both artists, musicians, aesthetic, beauty seekers. reality hamelin who can only find beauty and hope in one thing, and hamelin in library who believes beauty can be everywhere if you take out what's ugly. one full of guilt and self hatred, the other confident to a flaw. one who blames himself for the accidental death of someone he cares about, the other killing ruthlessly. i plan to make a whole character study on him but i always found this very brilliant in the story telling between them. reality hamelin could not find beauty in the world around him and that played a part in his fall. they are so alike yet so different. in a way, library hamelin is almost what reality hamelin is lacking and wishes he could be, maybe to a concerning level though because this is sinoalice after all. fun fact but the pied piper actually is a symbol for the grim reaper in some literally studies, and hamelin mentions him a few times in dialogue fighting lines. he has a very heavy death thematic for this reason, so i just found the whole "everything dies" thing going on with him interesting. which made my heart break more for reality hamelin. i love this commission alot. it really captures that internal messaging. please give the artist all your love!
