Canvas is a yearly Fediverse event similar to Reddit's Place - it's a collaborative art project where any Fediverse user can place colored pixels on a shared canvas over a period of a few days. It has a dedicated community at [email protected] - the canvas itself is here.

This will be its third year; the first time, there were some minor furry drawings, and last year, we were a bit more organized, with a bit of collaboration between Pawb and Yiffit. The full canvas from last year can be seen here - we had a small spot carved out in the lower left corner, as well as a few scattered things all around.

I'd be great to actually start organized this year, and create something substantial together.

Anyone else interested in participating? Any thoughts on what we might make? Anyone with artistic skill want to sketch something out? If we can get a few ideas, maybe we vote on them prior to the event itself?

My current proposal. I think we should also talk about the sizes of easier-to-scale elements. The Pawb logo is one of the smallest, but I scaled it that way as we currently already have quite the amount of pixels.

That actually fits together pretty compactly. We could omit the boykisser, there's been boykissers elsewhere on the canvas for the last two years, anyway, and it's the only component that doesn't fit in nicely.

If no more edits are are added 'til tomorrow I will allocate an area and add a comment to the template-finer thread in c/canvas (but no pressure, I will edit the comment if the template should be changed afterwards). Any wishes for position? If not I will gravitate towards the top right corner.

The right side will be in the middle on the final canvas (assuming it goes the same as last year, with the size doubling mid-way through). Not a bad thing necessarily but worth noting.

As noted above, though, this is too large - we'll never get this much space to ourselves and we'll simply never finish it.

This is a composite of the templates currently posted there - top right corner doesn't work as we'd be competing with another group.
