Canvas 2026 has concluded!

Didn’t know this was a thing but I appreciate the Germans telling Merz to lick balls.

Thanks everyone for participating <3 Hope to see you all next year again

The cursor dance party at the end was great

TIL this happened.

was my first canvas here and I had a lovely time, thank you for letting me help you all out with your amazing art, hope I didn't step on too many toes, you are wonderful people 💜 great job everyone

Wow! The water trickles all the way from the top!

I liked that it didn't feel like there were many (any?) bots, and artwork was moved instead of being erased. Congrats to a smoothly running event, and thanks to all who played.

Was also the first time I've participated and I loved it. Thanks for hosting, the end result looks fantastic! Great job everyone on all the detail work the second day. My favourite details has to be New Zealand leaking down half the canvas.

Thank you so much for organising this again! Canvas is always such a cool event and really shows how much cool stuff people can make when they work together :3

Damn it!

The ONE time this year I get to go on vacation and I don't get to contribute to this masterpiece?

Everyone did a beautiful job on it!

Is it just me or is the picture missing the last few minutes?

Anyway, I enjoyed all the new features, especially templates, cursors, and the new pixel pulses. I think I barely managed to test half the new stuff in the few hours I participated. :D

Edit: Canvas_final_v2.png

There is indeed some stuff missing in the OP picture, see e.g. the void eyes below the pirate.

Edit 2: Fixed, thanks!

Thanks for everyone who helped MULTIVERSE build the Woke zone! We had, in no particular order:

• Souly the Soulism Ball
• Esperanto
• Trans
• Queer
• Antifascist Action
• Aboriginal
• XLOV
• Otherkin
• Neutrois
• Lesbian
• Voidpunk
• Nonbinary
• Water
• Luz and Amity
• Aboriginal Amongus

Amongus maybe isn't the wokest thing (although you SHOULD watch the TV show, it's very woke), and there were two anime girls in the woke zone who had nothing to do with leftism at all, but most of the art there is on-theme.

I also wanna shout out SLRPNK for their Hope is Rebellion and Turtle Island flags, the Palestine Flags with based political commentary, and the vegan community for the Dominion link and the QR code. You should definitely scan the QR code, you get to see cute animals on a farm! And they die in horrible ways in front of you! You might become a vegan if you scan the QR code.

My favourite detail (other than the animation of Souly smoking a joint you can see in the timelapse) is Mario riding the velociraptor from Dino Run, next to the QR code.

NOOO AND I MISSED IT :'(

Thank you for all your work. The last years I thought you must be one of the graybearded fediwizards, judging by how well this event is run. But after watching your Fireside Fedi episode, I have to say it's nice to see that young people are building awesome stuff for the fediverse.

Thanks to everyone for your colorful pixels, participating in cursor dances and the minimal use of country flags. This was a lot of fun.

Thanks for running it, it was an absolute blast! :D

Never underestimate the power of a bunch of autists

That was fun, thank you :3

This was absolutely amazing, thank you so much to the organizers!! I can't wait for next year :D

That was a lot of fun, thanks!

Surprised there is no continuos german flag in the map.
At least our Mouse, Elephant and Duck are represented

This event was the most fun I’ve had in a while! I appreciate how respectful most contributors were of others’ artwork. It felt good to both contribute to others’ projects, and to see others contributing to things I started. It came out amazing! Looking forward to the next event!

The picture top right is just amazing. I love it so much.

Glad to see Old Man up there in the furry corner. It was my biggest project out of all the canvas events so far. I love how the surrounding art coexists with it, especially the flower at the top of the hat.

I hope my few purple pixels for the bass clef made it...

I want to say thanks to grant and the mods for hosing this! It's so much fun to work together with everyone to cover as much canvas as possible and make such cool art.

This was super fun again!

Thanks to everyone who participated on the Home Arcade on the right side of the canvas! When I woke up on Sunday to see it completed, it felt like a miracle!

It was great fun.

My favourite is the christmas tree in the centre.

I did not expect to see toki pona in there.

So many hidden easter eggs! Great artwork :)

Thanks again to @siv9939@lemmy.zip for designing the tribute to GeekFTW

This year was amazing again. I had fun pixeling our Furry corner and helping our friendly neighbors :) Some great art was created by everyone, I like the endresult.
Thank you for hosting this great event every year, we truly appreciate it.

And to the vandals from programming.dev and co: WHY?!

Of all the things on this, the one I'm most confused about is the Serious Sam logo.

I love the tiny little Algerian flags dotted around!

I did a heart in a seemingly empty corner (I've since been educated on templates) and a French flag that turned into a border. Oh and a Minecraft diamond helmet under the arcade player, and I wrote Feddit.uk and thanks for my fellow fedditors who came to the rescue and did the Union Jack and internet flags around it.

i love how this showed up in my lemmy.world feed, but the relevant links to contribute did not.

(/sarcasm if you couldn't tell.)

@grant We don't have enough France on it

watchdominion.org, nice
