"I am fine, Ms. Dollop. Please carry on," Harmonia assured her as she continued to hold her position with little to no effort.

"Gods don't tire very easily, and besides, what a poor subject I would be if I interrupted an artist like yourself," she stated matter-of-factly.

Harmonia was quite serious too. Gods rarely took it lightly when a master of the arts wanted to catch their likeness.

With a tiny giggle she's adjust herself as requested. She'd turn her smile into more of mischievous smirk, which looked quite natural on the vampiric cat girl. Then she'd spread her wings a little, she'd make her cat ears stick up a little more while she was at it.

"I'm fine, this is a comfortable enough position, I won't get tired from this," her eyes would look over at Sidney.

"Uh....is she ok?"

Sidney, being the complete professional of a model that she was, never responded to anything, simply continuing to hold the pose.

Of course, the real reason for keeping still was really just that she had become super focused on the lights in front of them. Usually she had an easier time shaking herself out of it, but there was a lot of light in front of her.

But whatever the reason, she continued staring, looking like she was posing to look fascinated by something.

"Ah, if you so insistent I shall continue with my masterpiece!" Dollop resumed their work on Harmonia's portrait after being given their assurance. As she flesh out Harmonia's details, Dollop looks over to Shiro and gives the girl a nod of their approval. "Prefect! Yes just like that Shiro. A small adjustment was all that was needed."

When Shiro inquired about Sidney, Dollop trained their eye onto the the moth girl. They thought for a moment before dismissing Shiro's concern.

"Oh Shiro she not just okay. She is doing... FABULOUS! Just fabulous. So dedicated to her posture that they dare not even speak! A true natural she is. While I do admire your commitment Sidney if you are feeling tired or unwell just let me know. Now which shade of blue should I use for this background? Hrmmm..."

Dollop continued painting the three ladies simultaneously, adding more and more layers of paint until after another 20 to 30 minutes later they set down their brushes and slide back to admire and critique her work.

"Voilà ! It is done! Now to let dry. Oh but before we continue with the rest of session, do you lovely ladies wish to see?" offered Dollop as they invite them over to take a look with a beckoning hand wave to come and look at their portraits.

Viewing Harmonia's portrait, the pink haired goddess stands proud atop a ruined Corinthian column as her piercing eyes stare out directly at the viewer. Her figure raises above the dark and dirty faces of the common rabble look upon her with awe. The neoclassical style of the painting evokes an ethereal beauty of the divine as sun in the backdrop of the painting bathes her in holy light while darkening clouds seems to dissipate at her radiating power. Suptle movement can be seen in this painting from the breeze caresses Harmonia's clothing to clambering hands among the crowd trying to reach for her yet unable to reach as if though separated by immeasurable distances. Harmonia painted figure herself stands mostly stiff, save for a sultry flick of their hair.

In Shiro's painting, the eye is naturally drawn to vampiric cool cat whom striking blacks and reds stands in contrast against a backdrop of mundanity of white city occupied with faceless citizens . Shiro's piece is more contemporary compared to Harmonia's portrait and has a more pop art feel to it though its hard to pin down an exact style. In the portrait Shiro owns leans slightly against the wall, her wings shifting and her tail swaying side to side in the portrait as they merely observe the passing of by of mannequin like figures dressed in white entering one side of the portrait and exiting the other. The crimson eyes of the painted Shiro watch each passerby come and go as they wear a curt smile on their face.

Observing Sidney's painting, the figure stand by the grassy edge of reflecting pond in the cool of the night as they stare looking up a ray of moonlight beaming down on them. This painting differs from the previous two as it takes on an impressionist style reminiscent of Van Gogh's later works. In this painting, the grass flows and gentle ripples can be seen moving out in the pond. The painted Sidney stands statuesque, her twinkling eyes staring out in wonder of some unknowable light in the distance. The only movement seen on the painted moth woman are her wings that flutter in the back like a cape and occasional twitch of her antenna.

When Dollop was finally finished, Harmonia, who was now extremely curious to see how well she had captured her godly likeness, stretched languidly like a feral cat laying in the sun, before she got to her feet.

"Oh my! Maestro Dollop! ... It's quite simply perfection on a canvass," Harmonia gushed as she peered closely at the canvass, noticing all the detail, extremely pleased with the outcome of the painting.

"You've managed to capture my essence amazingly well," she stated with satisfaction as she took a step back and let the other girls take a look at their paintings.

Once the artist was finished Shiro would stretch a bit and step around to the paintings, wanting to take a look at it.

"Whoa....," she'd look at the painting, fighting off the urge to touch it. "It's gorgeous, amazing," she wasn't sure what to expect, but it was definitely better than anything she could imagine.

"Is it ok if I take a picture to send to my siblings?" she'd ask Dollop, taking out her phone.

After what was certainly too long, Sid shot back to life, shutting her eyes and turning away from the light before slowly opening them again. She quickly realized what had happened and made a pretty likely assumption that she had blown this whole pro modelling thing, but a peek at the others seemed to suggest that everything was fine? But then how did the painting even...

Sid carefully made her way over to the paintings, taking a look.

It seemed that Dollop must’ve just assumed that her frozen by the light face was a pose. A fact which Sidney has to try not to laugh about. The painting was remarkable too, Dollop seemed to work wonders with that fluke of a pose.

Her eyes turned to the other paintings afterwards, admiring the work. This lady might’ve been a little crazy, but damn could she paint. “Pretty good, pretty good. Dollop, you get my four thumbs up of approval.” She raised her hands and did as she said, smiling.

This was one heck of a lucky break.

While each of the paintings seemed to be living in their own little painted world, as the trio looked to the paintings the paintings looked back.

As Harmonia leaned close the painting, the painted Harmonia leaned forward as well as though to get a better look at their inspiration. When the painted Harmonia seemed satisfed, there was a please smile on the painted Harmonia as they resumed their original position. When Shiro looked at their portrait, the Shiro painted on the canvas seemed to have to have taken notice. For a moment the painted reflection stared back, then a moment later they can be seen grinning and giving Shiro a friendly wave before they returned to what they were doing. In Sidney's painting... the painted figure of Sidney seemed to entranced by the distant light in out of frame to notice or react to being observed by Sidney.

"Ah thank you most kindly of your praises! You are all as pleasant company as you are wonderful muses. Art is my craft and the world... my canvas!" cheered Dollop, both of their both twirling into cartoonishly big smiles " But we are not done yet my wonderful muses. There is still so much more to do... as for a picture?"

Dollop puts on a thoughtful pose, unsure as they look at Shiro's painting before answering her question with some hesitation.

"Well... you may... though... a photograph just won't compare. There is just an emotional connection to a painting that is lost when its just a picture. Perhaps... you could bring your family over to see the paintings themselves?" her eye looks over at a clock hanging on a wall and lets out an audible gasp.

"Ah! Look at the time! Still more wonders yet to be made. Are the madams ready to begin again?"

For her part, Harmonia was still slightly mesmerized by the other "Harmonia" and purposely bent forward again, smiled and even touched her hair and preened a bit, loving her mirror reflection.

Also, and in her opinion, Dollop's skill rivaled that of an Olympian god... but Harmonia knew better not say this out loud, just in case one of them got jealous. She knew all too well that her "family" could be extremely petty at times and she did not want anything to happen to Dollop because of her.

"Quite ready, just tell me where you want me," Harmonia remarked enthusiastically, ready for the second stage of their painting adventure.

"I'm definitely gonna bring my brother," she'd say with a grin. "He has art based powers too, he can bring his drawings to life," yeah she was already making plans in her head to drag Tadashi here to see the art and meet Dollop.

She'd nod. "I'm always ready," she'd say, excited to get another painting made of her. "You want me to change anything?" she'd ask. "I can change my eyes color and the color and length of my hair if you want something different."

The cat girl would stretch. "I can even sprout a couple of extra arms if you want something like that," she'd say with a small chuckle.
