Hi all!

Canvas is an event that is like reddit's r/place, where users can paint one pixel at a time and we all work together to make some art. You can see more at last year's conclusion post.

You use your Lemmy account to log in, where it messages you a code to confirm it's you (no password required). This year they have a one account per person rule, so we will need all hands on deck!

We have a template for the design we have put together, you can jump straight to Canvas with the template enabled by clicking this link: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=162&y=328&zoom=4&tu=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.nz%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2F497358ad-b655-4ae1-9e42-ea70c303a63e.png&tw=112&tx=100&ty=300&ts=ONE_TO_ONE

The event starts today (Friday) at 4pm, and runs for 72 hours.

If you use Matrix (or are willing to use Matrix) join the chatroom by following the instructions here.

We can also use this post for coordination, or if anyone is having trouble getting logged in or other issues.

This is the part I messed up which is a little bit away from where you're working. I re-did some of it so it wasn't so obvious, I think it looks OK now:

I also squeezed in a mini @[email protected], not sure what do do about the 'hi' though. It doesn't seem to be part of anything around it. The black on black doesn't quite work.

Oh, that bit! I got confused when I got there so I just put two pink pixels down as 'flowers' and left that area. It looks really nice right now :)

Thanks for figuring out how to wrap the water stream around the kiwi. I didn't quite know how I was going to get around the "A", but you found a good spot.

Currently I'm trying to get the yellow pixel background continuing on the right hand side, but am not sure what to do with the text when it eventually reaches it. I'm up for any ideas?

For the no.lastname.nz bit, I think leave the background of that white and treat it like a white rectangle, don't go behind the text. For the !trees bit, probably the same. Might make sense to focus on the bit to the left of the bottom of the south island.
