Suggestions for Canvas and future events! in c/[email protected]

I would suggest a small countdown to the end of the event on the place where the pixels count and coordinates belong (circled below), only displaying during the event.

In addition, I'm quoting from what I wrote in the News & Updates section of my generator hub page:

But, in the end, I was able to put all of them together, a piece of history of my entire generator-making journey, into a part of a large collaborative canvas event! It was also really fun and I was able to interact with people from across the entire Fediverse, and it was also the very first time I experienced such things like that.

Good ranking!

Using some analysis tools, my template has 1356 pixels to draw. I spent parts of pixels on my drawing, and the rest on everything else. Thought I was only placing around ~1000 pixels during the event.

This will forever be recorded as one of the most exciting events to participate in for my whole life. I've never been this happy and excited before. It is fun and intriguing just to be able to explore and draw a bunch of pixels into a public canvas just like grabbing squares (pixels) and putting it into a giant block of land (the canvas) to draw art with.

Great job! 😃

There are a total of 34 mini custom/abstract flags scattered across the entire canvas - can you find them all? (sh.itjust.works)
 

After I finished working on my drawing, I spent some extra time on the event drawing small custom/abstract flags inspired from generated flags from my flag generator, placed on random locations of tiny available spaces on the canvas. Mainly just to help fill the canvas, but overall, that was a cool and fun idea.

I drew a total of 40 flags, but not all of them managed to survive until the end of the event. So, I double-checked and counted all the survived flags, and in total, there are 34 survived flags on the canvas. If you managed to find all of them, I'll reveal a huge list of locations in the comments!

These are some of the mini flags, for a bit of a hint.

Yay! Now it's only <2 hours and 30 minutes left to go

I'll probably add a shading behind the text (especially on the "HUGE UPDATE" part) to make it more visually appealing and not to interfere more with the overlapping flag

I'm also filling a bunch of small available blank spaces with mini abstract/custom flags

📍 Canvas location

I'm happy I could finish a 158-pixel-wide drawing mostly (if not all) by myself ever since the time when the canvas was expanded (took around 2 days to finish). At the time the canvas had much more space to build in that I instantly got an idea to build a template incorporating the two URLs of my most popular Perchance projects (Power Generator Manager and Power Flag Generator (a.k.a. Random Custom Flag)) and some references.

There was a bit of an adjustment when someone was drawing overlapping on my template, but it was fine, I then planned to move some parts around.

Now, while I look around the canvas, I wanted to draw more custom/abstract flags scattered around the entire canvas (in tiny available spaces of course) during the remaining time of the event, just to help fill more pixels around the flag layouts/models will be grabbed from my flag generator. Here's a group of the blank versions for a reference. What do you think?

I also love how everything is getting more complete on its own. I always look around when I'm waiting for the pixel cooldown.

On a side note, I would say this is the very first time I have ever experienced a live canvas event like this, I learned about the mechanism of placing pixels and everything. I'm pretty glad I was brought to Lemmy then headed out my job to it (creating an account etc.) and then brought to the canvas event, I got excited when @[email protected] first told me about the event. I've been interested to do this kind of stuff, and overall, that was pretty exciting after all! 😃

A landscape version?

Updated to 2.8.1 and that issue has finally fixed! Not only coincidental, but also apparently related to my issue. 😁
