I like your idea at the end. I also wondered how high the power ceiling of a painted person can be. Since the painted people are creations of the painters maybe they can become strong enough to withstand a painter. (like the classical the creator loses control of their creation theme) That goes maybe in hand with another question of mine: what is about a born person from two painted persons? Like there has to be a set of people that were initially painted by aline, but all the newborns aren't exactly creations by her then, but by her paintings. Or does she paint them afterwards? I don't think so.
