Yes. I'd like to be able to sell paintings directly. It's what my mother used to do, back in Japan.
But I am aware it is not ... guaranteed monthly income like a traditional job. So building a portfolio and a good profile with commission work is a good idea as well.
I would not consider the military more important than artistic pursuits. Art influences all things in the word, from the shade of clothing on your back from season to season, to the colour you paint your home. The books people enjoy, the songs on the radio. Without it there would be stark, bare gaps in people's lives and their enjoyment of them.
[Not that... police and firefighters aren't important, but the dismissal of something that threads through everyone's lives so deeply irks him.]
But you are here, at Recolle university, and what you choose to study is up to you.

I know. Music really inspires and moves people, and it can do so much. Just like art. [He could go on about the amazingness of music ok] It's not that they hate that stuff, they just think it's less of a priority.
[And thus for someone else to get involved in, not someone from their family]
Haha, yeah ... if I can figure out how to pay for my schooling all myself. Right now, they're footing part of the bill. So they still get a say in what I study. That's why I'm that law class right now. I mean, the professor's great but...it's really not my thing.
I agree! At least one more visit, just to remember what it's like before the blue returns again. Just the way it mirrors everything is magical in itself!
[OPTIMISM!!! Though she also won't miss it once blue returns, but knowing that it won't be this way for long makes her want to try to remember it the way it was.]
May I see your progress sometime? I love to watch you paint!
If it were no longer part of their lives, perhaps they would think differently.
[But that's not going to happen.]
... Have you considered scholarships, if you're not already in one? I was able to get one for my art course, which covers a fair bit of major costs. It's... difficult to get, but you have the drive and skills to prove you would be worthy of the support. Do you have certificates for musical grading, or pieces you have worked on independently?
I see. On its own it might not be the most structurally sound, though. Or perhaps a little... haphazard, without some reinforcement and finalising of the design to neaten it up.
Perhaps, but it would need to be a large group of followers, and you have to account for printing costs, or the cost of canvases and the cost of your own time.
Still, I am prepared for it.
... I haven't tried sculpting, no. I'm mostly paint focused, although I have experience with sketch work, pastels, charcoals and have some practice with digital art works as well.
C-Careful what you wish for, Yusuke. We already lost some colors and horses...
[IF MUSIC DISAPPEARS, IT WILL GET SO UGLY IN THIS HOUSEHOLD]
Y-Yeah, I've considered them. I wasn't able get some before, but I'm hoping to reapply now that I've been doing well this semester. Though my composing sure has slowed down with having to deal with all the Retrospec stuff.
I think there would be rioting if the music died...
[Y i k e s.]
You should do. You are talented enough to be considered, for certain. And you are a hard worker - now you've got recorded work here to back you up, I can't see why you'd be rejected.
something for elliot, he really likes your art. my moms really into this stuff too, and my dad. maybe something for my sister's gym. my grandparents have those wall sized paintings in their living room so maybe they'd like to see something new for christmas
[yikes. that is a lot of items in that list there.]
I see. If you have ideas, please let me know and we can work out a time frame for when you need the pieces by versus estimated work time to complete the piece.
I believe there's something you can mix with the glue that gives it a smooth and shiny appearance - people use them when making their own masks? That may suffice, although if you are planning a fruit bowl I don't know if it can be ingested, if any transfers onto food.
Maybe some angrily worded letters and peaceful protesting would be more to your taste?
[ The love of music would come across, but without the violence and the fighting. ]
I am merely saying what is true. If you were slacking in your studies, or had poor compositions I would not hesitate to let you know. Only through critique can we improve and grow our skills.
