<DO NOT REPOST OR USE WITHOUT PERMISSION-reblogging is fine!>
Welcome Home Wally Sketchbook Page
I... forgot to post this here... woops lol.
Anyway... this hyperfixation really pulled me back into using markers again. I was so nervous coloring these man, I haven used markers for an illustration like this in so long. I really need to do more stuff like this rather than digital all the time. I enjoyed making these and I hope that you all too!!!
And a reminder to not steal or use work from other artist, I know this is an ongoing problem. Especially in the Welcome Home community right now. It's not that hard to add credits to your edits guys, seriously.

Raya from the credits...
I dont know why I never posted this... I drew it so long ago, but alas... here i am today to bring to your day a lil drawing of dancing Raya.
If the feet are off... I swear I tried my best 😪
Reference:
Also this is a reminder to all of those of you who would think that for six years, she's been away from her world so she won't know how to dance... people, she's the princess of Heart—the most festive of all the lands. I mean look at her and Benja! She's so happy dancing! She dances etherally... Namaari is a different story. I'll touch on that headcannon in a different post.
PS: Namaari definitely was watching her with dreamy eyes and the softest smile imaginable in that scene... slowly falling deeper.

FireflySummers’ Guide to Arguing Against the Use of AI Image Generators
(AKA I hate AI image generators so fucking much that I published a whole ass academic article on it)
Read the Paper: Art in the Machine: Value Misalignment and AI "Art"
Citation: Allred, A.M., Aragon, C. (2023). Art in the Machine: Value Misalignment and AI “Art”. In: Luo, Y. (eds) Cooperative Design, Visualization, and Engineering. CDVE 2023. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 14166. Springer, Cham. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-43815-8_4
The purpose of the original paper and now this post is the following:
Provide at least one academic article that you can cite. (Full paper + citation available below)
Make explicit community values that have previously been implicit, in order to better examine your own perceptions of the online artist community, and where you sit within it.
Provide rebuttals to common pro-AI talking points, with the intention of shutting down the conversation and reclaiming the narrative.
What this paper and post cannot do:
Act as a sole authority about the online artist community and its values. We are not a monolith, and it is up to you to think critically about what, exactly, you want to take away from this discussion.
Provide a way to convince AI Evangelists that what they’re doing is wrong and bad and needs to stop. You will never convince them. Again, focus on shutting them down and reclaiming the narrative.
Final Disclaimer: I'm a very fallible researcher who is still very much learning how to do academia. I cannot speak for the entirety of the online artist community or fanartist community. We all have different lived experiences. I have done my best to include diverse voices; however if you have concerns or critiques, I am open to hearing them.
If you show up to debate in favor of AI image generators, you will be automatically blocked.

If you have read this far, thank you very much. I hope that you have found a constructive lens for approaching the war with AI image generators, as well as a new tool for shutting down debate and reclaiming the narrative.
