'There is a nonzero chance that it's something to do with BLU' is an accurate statement, as hilarious as it sounds

As for me, my first thought was 'Ninja, new job is Scouting', bam done. Of the actual job names named in theories, the Artist/Pictomancer is the most interesting/has the most potential to me. I've long imagined an idea for a ranged DPS spec for Monks in WOW, that uses Okami style inkbrush swipes for it's moves, along with summoning ink animals to assist it for burst CDs (like that one Byakko painting that comes to life in the new Variant). Out of all the things that would make me go 'uuuuuugh' and get up to go get a drink though, hearing the word Geomancer would be top of the list. I'm WHM, so if I'm getting told I had to lose my elemental skills in favor of twinkly christmas light blasts, just so some Othardian bozo can use them instead (after being mentioned in lore as 'oh Astromancy and Geomancy are actually pretty similar', no less), I'm not gonna be super thrilled about it
The Artist angle also applies the the Onmyoji idea. The example you have of the Byakko painting is from an Onmyoji character from the lore. We also saw the same concept during one of the Heavensturn events that featured Onmyoji NPCs.
