That's how it started pre-rez, too, back on Earth. Eventually science and technology progressed until photography was developed. It didn't stop people drawing. Painting. Creating.
That's why the art still persists despite technological advancements. It's not just the end product but the process. Art reflects the soul whereas photos reflect the physical.
I think the soul is more beautiful. That's why I fill my house with art and will continue to do so.
Well, if it's my soul you want, you might have thought twice about which wall you picked. I doubt there's anything in there that makes sleeping easier.
You're welcome. Speaking of art, I'm starting to add framed pieces on the bedroom wall. Can I talk you into sitting for a portrait? Not a nude, but something a little sexy.

I'm listening. What kind of worth my while were you thinking?
[ alina doesn't like to think of herself as a jealous person. or, more accurately, she doesn't like to think of herself as the kind of person that other people would describe as jealous. it's not the feeling that she spurns, but the idea that it might reflect poorly on her. ianthe doesn't make it sound that way, now. she makes it sound like something to be fed and watered and enticed. it keeps alina from getting her hackles up about it, and it serves it purpose well as a result—to entice her. to promise something that she wouldn't even think to ask for, otherwise. ]
[ well, it's going to be a mood-killer. so alina holds onto it for a moment. the truth is, she needs the sense of companionship. ianthe has articulated enough already that alina understands that they are similar in their necessary ambition, and its motives, but the particulars ... ]
I want to know how you became a lyctor. But it doesn't have to be now.

Why do you go down to the river to draw?
no subject
Lots of subjects to choose from.
And if I need to clear my head to remember something else to draw, it's easy to do that.

And who's going to see it hanging like a trophy in your bedroom, saints!

Trophies are meant to be shown off. This would be no trophy, but something I covet for myself.
