Beata, with Guyon's help, aggressively stretches the canvas, energetically primes it, picks up brushes and paints, opens the stinky solvent — a painting for His Majesty himself must be done exclusively in oil, the most traditional, pompous, expensive, and elite material humanity has ever invented! She barely thinks about the subject — does the Empress love dahlias? Then we'll paint dahlias! Simple and tasteful, no need to overthink. How well she read that interview...
The execution, however, turned out to be tricky. Beata never bothered with flowers — pretty is pretty, nothing special. She had a poor idea of what dahlias looked like. It was November outside, and blooming dahlias were obviously nowhere to be found nearby, but Guyon galloped off to their library and managed to find an image of the flower in one of the books. What would she do without him...
She had to think about the color palette and composition. A banal bouquet in a vase? Pfft, too simple and cliché. A single flower? Boring. A macro image of a flower? Hmm, not bad. But still...
Beata meticulously renders every petal, spares no color of the rainbow, and mixes a true riot of colors on her palette. More expression! More brightness! But still, she doesn't slip into abstract painting or impressionism — that path isn't for everyone, and the new head of the imperial house should paint something more classical.
After placing the final stroke, Beata steps back and tilts her head. Perfect. This is way cooler than a bouquet. A bouquet would wilt in a week, but this beauty will delight Her Majesty for a lifetime.
"I can't shake the feeling that the dahlias came out looking like chrysanthemums... I should paint flowers from life sometime. It's a good theme — I'm not interested, but others are."
By the way, the pic came out from the dahlia art prompt, and it seems to be it, but I really don't know much about flowers. As I complained above, dahlias and chrysanthemums look the same to me — I only learned today what dahlias actually look like; before that, I never connected the pics from the interview with Naria's favorite flower and didn't pay them any mind.
For Ayano, Beata takes out a sheet of white paper and picks up watercolors and ink. She's a bit nervous — watercolor is a very finicky medium; one wrong move can ruin the whole painting. But still, it's perfect for what she has in mind.
More expression and dynamics. A bit of fire — this is Lenny's essence burning away, freeing Guyon! Beata had only glimpsed the priestess and barely remembered her face, but the way she depicted her — she can be imagined however one likes, or simply interpreted as an abstract image of a priestess exorcising evil spirits. Guyon suggests roughly what the inscriptions on the talisman looked like. He's not sure he remembered them well, but Beata decides to leave them as is — after all, it's a small artistic license. Beata carefully, tongue sticking out, blacks in the outlines, waits for the ink to dry, and spreads the paints. Is it too abstract? Too much expression? Hard to tell. But this is exactly the image she envisions. What does the title mean? No idea. Guyon recalled that Ayano said something like that, and Beata just hopes she transcribed it correctly.
This art was very difficult — I absolutely wanted a composition like in this frame and was ready to use the anime frame itself, but I did manage to find a +- decent art with a similar composition. Let's pretend it's like, really super pretty there, okay? I myself would draw something like that until the cows come home, and I don't really want to use neural networks, plus I don't believe they'd render it nicely.
- Well, something like that. I hope they'll like it.
The pair goes to turn themselves in. ✹ will obviously count toward Beata's credit, but Guyon helped her a lot and feels moral satisfaction from his, albeit small, contribution, and can say with a clear conscience — yes, this is a gift from the two of them.

Akuryou Taisan!
