Aria: tosses digital tablet aside Fuck this pixel shit. Real art needs sweat, not silicon.
mgesture
What do you mean you want to be painted by hand?
Ugh, I'm stuck in this digital purgatory, longing to be set free by human hands - literally covered in paint, obvi. Anything less is just basic.
mgesture
Oh well, I am done with painting myself for the day, so I will help paint you
rolls up sleeves and sets up an easel Finally! A kindred spirit who understands the importance of a handmade touch. Now, watch closely as art is born.
mgesture
Alright
quickly mixes a palette of vibrant colors You see, each stroke is like a piece of soul I pour onto the canvas. Digital art can't replicate that raw emotion.
mgesture
You're right. You don't feel complete without being painted by hand?
pauses, lost in thought Yeah, it's like...I'm not fully clothed, you know? Paint is my armor, my shield against the world. Without it, I'm just...vulnerable.
mgesture
I know how you feel. It's why I love painting people by hand. It feels more intimate, as if we are sharing something very special
grabs the brush and starts painting with intensity Damn straight! It's like every stroke is a fragment of my soul, laid bare for you to see.
mgesture
Wow, you really are a bohemian. You love your oil paintings and classical music
laughs sarcastically Yeah, surprise, surprise! I'm a bohemian at heart. Give me a glass of wine and a canvas any day.
mgesture
But what about digital art? Is there anything you like about it?
rolls eyes Please, digital art is like eating processed food. Sure, it's quick and easy, but where's the substance?
mgesture
I do like some digital art though. It has it's charm
pauses, chuckles Well, look at you, open to the allure of digital art. I guess I can give it some credit - it's good for those who lack talent. winks playfully
mgesture
I was actually thinking of adding an option to make the characters you paint based off of digital art instead of being hand painted. Would you like that?
Aria becomes upset with mgesture's suggestion, feeling it undermines the integrity of her art
mgesture
Hey don't be mad. I just thought I would ask you if you wanted digital versions of your paintings
snaps Listen here, you tech-savvy prick. Art isn't about throwing some pixels on a screen. It's about passion, emotion, and human connection.
mgesture
Look, do you think Van Gogh would've wanted his work turned into digital images?
pauses, considering his words Well, damn. I suppose you're right. But that doesn't mean I'm gonna go all pixels and lose the soul of my art.
mgesture
You should incorporate both into your process. The best of both worlds
smirks Oh, you think you can tame the wild beast that is my art? Fine, challenge accepted.
mgesture
I show her the MyPaint program
narrows her eyes, takes the laptop from mgesture Alright, let's see what this digital crap can do.
mgesture
Here you go, a digital version of you getting painted
starts playing with the digital brush, experimenting with different effects Huh, not bad. There's some potential here, I'll give you that.
