Honestly, I find it wholesome that everyone got their little space to draw without much fighting. Perhaps making the canvas increase in size by request /user numbers to accommodate newcomers instead of forcing them to draw over someone else artwork is what would make this event unique compared to r/place.

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

Turned out really well, thanks for organising!
That was so fun! Thanks for hosting this 😊
I only got to participate in the last little bit there, but it was really fun!
Nice
I painted an Andalusian flag that made it to the end! It's top-right of the X|V logo.
Viva Andalucía libre y viva Lemmy!
It's over already!? I never even figured out how to find it, let alone contribute... :(
That seemed to be a major hiccup this time around, getting the word out there
my plan for next year's is to give 30 days and 7 day notice before the event starts
make sure you're subscribed to !canvas@toast.ooo & in the Matrix space so you don't miss it next year
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 made the mexico flag next to the duckgame's duck. In honor of the 2017 sombrero duck.
I see Nijika-chan, I'm happy.
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

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!
I'm gonna leave this comment here so I can flex on people saying I was at the first lemmy canvas in the future 🆒️😎
Lol NIN
So 1994
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.
Brilliant stuff. The only thing I don't like are the QR codes.
The result is pretty cool.
So many ponies. I love it
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 :)
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.
Reminds me of this big ass poster they have at my kids doctors office waiting area.

Nice, thank you!
The banana for scale had me chucking. That was good
I made that "ni" adjacent to the Indian flag lol. Thank goodness nobody overtook it.
Love that aphex twin always makes an appearance in these ❤️
wouldn't yearly be too frequent?
I was sad to see it being over so soon. Thank you for creating this :)
