What if Pictomancer had a "Drawing Mode", similar to Bard's "Performance Mode"?

Alright hear me out then: what if you could only draw pre-made stuff that you can collect, as if they were emotes. Would that be more reasonable?

Making it collectable sounds really fun actually! It could have been used as a way to collect bard instruments as well. Certain challenges and achievements to get them

So like, color by number or something?

So like crafting unique to painter? That sounds neat. Might add some color dyes too so you could customize it a bit, my sunset orange yours is blue. I suggested part of the visual concern of painter that you could collect paints, which impact the visuals of your spells (so you could have Asian ink painting up to rainbow sparkle EDM dance party like the trailer lol). Combine that with paint crafting is pretty roleplay solid ideas. The crafted art could also be selected for your combat moments. Love strong roleplay!

Since EorzeaWanderer mentioned it, definitely bard should have been gameified too. Would love to see bard wandering from tavern and concert space to collect instruments and perform. Adding some gameplay value out of it like once a week you can play for a tavern to get instant rested exp bonus, or a beast tribe to get some tokens and exp, etc. Players who listen earn a buff that acts as a food and movement speed buff (in open world), etc.

I actually wish that we could collect more Bard instruments, like, there's a lot that we don't have, accordeon, shamisen, organ. This feels like a miss oportunity.

I've already seen the memes on the shitpost subreddit to know where it would go. Players aren't mature enough for it.

I was thinking something similar, that maybe it could be like a feature that functions kind of like adventurer plates where you're working on a "canvas", but can only decorate it with premade assets like the backgrounds, accents, and stickers you see in plates and gpose. Drag and drop elements and arrange things how you like. And then the picture could show up during /bstance or /vpose. Overall something like the Pokeball Seals in Generation IV.
Not the ideal way I would implement a drawing feature but something to minimize abuse.

Artists gotta make their money somehow. Pictomancer ends up accurate to representation.

The only way I could see it working is if they just let you do one brushstroke at a time, but it doesn't stay there. You could do slashes in various directions, a circular swipe, maybe a squiggle shape or a spiral, or drag the brush on the ground to leave a trail behind you as you run around. You could set what colour you want them to be, or make it random colours, or different mixes like a rainbow.
