Thanks for joining in! The canvas is now finished!

I’m going to be leaving the canvas up and read-only for a couple days, but not too long.

This was incredibly fun to host, thank you all for participating!

Event date: August 4th (12:00am EST) - 6th (11:59pm EST)

Future Events

I’d love to make this a yearly event. Expanding from just Lemmy to the entirety of the fediverse aswell!

I’ll reuse this Lemmy community & the Matrix space for that event

If you have suggestions for future events, post them in a comment on this post, each suggestion as it’s own comment so people can vote on them

This was a lot of fun! I (briefly) participated in the first reddit place, but I didn't find it anywhere near as friendly or engaging as I found this. Thanks to whoever started Calvin after I finished Hobbes and needed to take a break, I never would've gotten both done without you!

I see Nijika-chan, I'm happy.

[–] itszednotzee@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who is Nijika?

For the blind, she is their vision. For the deaf, she is their music. For the mute, she is their voice. For the anosmiac, she is their aroma. For the numb, she is their feeling. For the atrophied, she is their muscle.

For the starved, she is their sustenance. For the thirsty, she is their water. For the exhausted, she is their energy.

For the depressed, she is their happiness. For the disillusioned, she is their hope. For the pessimistic, she is their optimism.

For the disadvantaged, she is their champion. For the marginalised, she is their justice. For the oppressed, she is their salvation.

For the righteous, she is their symbol. For the enlightened, she is their muse. For the erudite, she is their education

Brilliant stuff. The only thing I don't like are the QR codes.

[–] Fal@yiffit.net 6 points 2 years ago

So many ponies. I love it

Reminds me of this big ass poster they have at my kids doctors office waiting area.

The result is pretty cool.

[–] Pandantic@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Thanks so much for hosting this! It was so much fun and really heartwarming to be witness to such community cooperation and respect. Also, I’m really impressed by some of the art on here! Great job! Thank you everyone!

1994? Reznor and Ross are still dropping albums and doing a lot of great work. They made the soundtrack for the new TMNT movie, helped produce an amazing Halsey album in If I Can't Have Love I Want Power, and while The Trilogy has a lot of filler I liked the tracks on Add Violence.

Bow down before the one you serve.

The banana for scale had me chucking. That was good

[–] Weazel@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

imho the canvas was a bit too large for the userbase. Sure it's cool that everyone got a spot but I liked the thrill of the "fights" every time two projects tried to occupy the same space. But I guess the "friendly nature" of canvas kind of reflects the current state of lemmy so it's okay :)

[–] HappySquid@feddit.ch 7 points 2 years ago

I agree. For me it's not the fights but the artworks that take the shape they can. As in Flags in non rectangle shapes and in general works adapting to their environment.

[–] TheGuyTM3@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

i made the mexico flag next to the duckgame's duck. In honor of the 2017 sombrero duck.

[–] xbhaktapur@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I made that "ni" adjacent to the Indian flag lol. Thank goodness nobody overtook it.

[–] Gawanoh@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago

Nice, thank you!

[–] mrmule@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Love that aphex twin always makes an appearance in these ❤️

It was great fun helping out. So exicted for the next one.

I was sad to see it being over so soon. Thank you for creating this :)

[–] SmallAlmond@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

wouldn't yearly be too frequent?

[–] CifrareVerba@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh damn, fosters home for imaginary friends; that was a huge nostalgia hit. Was my favorite early Cartoon Network show (for Gen Z at least).

that was so fun! I'm glad a lot of people joined in

[–] ComfortablyGlum@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you for creating it! Honestly, I enjoyed this one more than r/place.

[–] Autian@feddit.de 4 points 2 years ago (6 children)

Great thing that there was much less vandalism. I was able to single-handedly put my work on there and didn't have to fix up anything at all.

The lack of vandalism gives me the heartwarming mental imagery of passionate people drawing the things they love while being kind and understanding to one another. It makes me unreasonably happy

Is there a higher quality version perchance?

edit: i now realize that my browser is doing some weird anti-aliasing

[–] gratux@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 years ago

This is the source version

Well that was fun. I tried to help with programming.dev's checker pattern and I think I'm gonna see it on my dreams for a while. I also made the mario 3 frog suit cause why not.
