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! ♥

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

    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

      And all the cooperation that went into not messing up people’s art. I made a bisexual flag heart by the Aussie flag, and the bronies messaged me and said “we want to put something there but we will move your heart. Is that okay?” Which I thought was nice. Lots of people helping others too! Such a difference from the other place, and it reminds me why I moved to Lemmy.

        That was the best part of the reddit place events as well, the diplomacy. Groups will help each other out to garner goodwill, it’s the only way protect your area. There was something so fun about sliding into the DMs of a big group like the Germans, representing my group panicking about being under attack by some twitch streamer, then they might say, sorry we’re defending somewhere else. Another time your trying to rally your team to go off and defend some other cause you care about. It’s a simulation of world politics and it’s beautiful.

        That didn’t happen as much with the Lemmy event because space wasn’t scarce.

          It did happen, but yeah, not as much. But the cool thing was, but for a few exceptions, people didn’t overwrite others’ art for malice or lols. And even the Amoogus played nice!

      There was a little. Like “banana for scale” became “bananada🇨🇦 for scale”. Sadly it got half-reverted at the end, which is the worst of birth worlds imho. And I had to protect the Canada flag from some vandalizing. Things that were possible to change with small single-person edits happened, like mangling the text in the Stardew Valley banner, or the magnificent bastard who put one red pixel in the bottom right corner of The Blue Zone.

        bananada🇨🇦

        My goal there was always Bananada. Someone else wrote the “for scale”, but I figured that was cool.

        I do wish that whoever edited it near the end while I was sleeping had followed through and removed the “a” as well. I agree that this is the worst of both worlds.

        Edit: I just noticed that the same guy who removed the bottom half of the d also added a pixel to one of the "n"s, so now they don’t even match. Ugh.

          Oh, my bad. I don’t know if “da” was finished first and I just missed it or “for scale” was finished first, but I thought I saw “banana for scale” first and assumed the “da” was added later by somebody else.

      I really whish someone would have vandalised the facist grey wolf logo on the left though…
