The afternoon class session starts in fifteen minutes. So get your asses back to the lecture hall, now."[/quote] [color=7ea7d8]"Ah,"[/color] he said, stopping mid-step. [color=7ea7d8]"Guess not, huh."[/color] Haha. Oh well. ... [color=7ea7d8]"Well, sucks that we won't be able to seem them in action, but Arcane Painters basically use these special paints that gradate into different shades depending on the time of day and the weather, making portraits that change with the environment! With some extra magic, they can even make it so that the portrait, say, grows with the subject. I've heard before that in certain knightly families, they had paintings done of their children so that, if they went off into expeditions to the Dark Continent, the parents would still be able to see their children doing well! In some ways, due to differences in the type of magic used, Arcane Paintings are actually more reliable than scrying or divination if you wanna know how someone's doing from far away!"[/color] Kress sucked in a deep breath; he was already heading back to the classroom. [color=7ea7d8]"Of course, magic exists that can create totally realistic pictures that are completely to life, but a true painter not only replicates their subject's appearance, but even enhances it. Like, hm, how should I say this...ah right. A beginner paints the outside, a master paints the inside. Other people can see things that you can't, and it's always super fun to see what others see, y'know? Maybe that's a bit narcissistic though...but anyways, if you're interested, Ankaa, Misaiya, let's head over there afterschool and see if they're still doing paintings?"[/color]
