I've always been uncertain of how beings enter the painting. When you touch the object itself, you are pulled in, but it is said that unwanted beings are drawn into it. Along with the Corvians, beings that have entered the painting include the Millwood Knights, and the Followers of the Undead Legion.

Clearly a being that is not undead can leave somehow as well, for Sulyvahn was able to leave and claim Irithyll, and Gael is the one who gives entry into Ariandel's restoration.

But does that mean that something causes them to find the painting, that they are actually drawn in with a brush, or that they just vanish at random?

And what causes them to take the winged, sometimes fully birdlike, apperance some things have.


 * Also I noticed some similarities between the Irithyll servents and the Corvians, and considering the origins of Sulyvahn, could those beings be from the painting?


 * Also if the previous painting burns, meaning that Ariamis' world is gone, is Priscilla dead canonically?
