Some of them add voices to the many pictures moving. This is done by magic. They usually bind the daemons to the characters with seals hidden in animation frames and force them to speak.

Painter: "how about one image?"

Comic Artist: "how about two or more, next to each other?"

Animator: "how about two or more, but at the same spot, yet after one another in time?"

Video game dev: "how about two or more, but you get to be the one to move them around?"

Then the painter realizes: "hey wait, that's just me, hanging around my paintings in different places whenever I feel like it"
