Got an idea for next month's banner?
I have this template I'm going to start on unless anyone has other suggestions. 
At 150, 300. I think this link should work:
Adjust the opacity in the settings to see where to place a bit better.
You log in using your Lemmy account, you don't need to enter your password, instead you enter your username (like dave@lemmy.nz) and it will send you a code via DM to enter and confirm it's you.
I'll do what I can to help!
Thanks! I think we have nicely claimed our spot now so I'm going to start tracing around the edge to make a full outline.
Adjustments to the template are welcome. The kiwi feet look weird, perhaps they should be a consistent colour.
Awesome job everyone!
If anyone wants to see it IRL it's here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=211&y=347&zoom=10
Good efforts from @eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz, @lavvy13@lemmy.nz, @Fizz@lemmy.nz, @misericordiae@literature.cafe, @Panq@lemmy.nz, and I'm sure others (it's a bit hard to tell except randomly pulling up the details to see who placed it (long press on mobile, shift+click on PC).
A map of just the Lemmy.nz users and the pixels we placed (unfortunately that leaves off a few many people here):
Sorry I didn't see all your hard work before @bfg9k@lemmy.world when I was tagging the others!
All good mate! Glad to help our brothers over the pond
Oh, everyone's talking about drama/fun with Hungary that I missed. ~~Writeup copied from redjard in the canvas general matrix room:~~ (edited out as it's now posted here)
Awesome work all!
I'm gonna do some filling of the space under, it would be nice for a plan other than just blue though. Ideas?
I was away for much of it but I wanna help. How can I help now?
It was looking a bit empty there, I thought someone would start something, but no one did.
Dunno maybe a row boat in the blue? 🤔
I was wondering maybe this laser kiwi at 200,340?
Fills a gap at the top of the south island.
click me
A row boat could work in the blue too.
That can work too, but we'll be double kiwi-ing it!
Edit: what about a pair of gumboots?
Oh sorry didn't see the gumboot suggestion. Think we can still fit that in somewhere?
Sorry! I got distracted with something else, and then fell asleep 😅 Don't know if there's still time to add it?
Do these look like gumboots?
Perhaps here, at 198, 356?
Looks good to me!
Let's do it!
Done, just like that!
Any other ideas or do you know of other projects wanting a hand? The canvas is looking really good!
Maybe! If we have a template. Something like the yellow boots here but black? Maybe with a red band?
Yeah but it has a nice run for lasers to go towards the left for the laser eyes. I'm thinking directly across, two high (or bigger if we finish the other parts.
Any thoughts on a template for a row boat? Drawing at that size is really quite tricky!
Edit: Oh we had one last year! Something like this little orange kayak?
After a quick google I couldn't find anything suitable, I'm happy with something simple
I edited to add a kayak thing from last year. I've started drawing that towards the bottom of that section.
No idea why that German(?) flag down the bottom decided to go over us but behind everything else. Been trying to take it back but they keep taking it again. Might just wait until later today to take it back.
Yeah good plan. I don't understand it either. I actually messaged them to ask. I hoped they were in bed but apparently not yet (it's 12:30am in Germany).
Yeah the going to bed at a reasonable hour is a very hard challenge. Anyways sorry for disrupting your projekt. Kinda got out of hand on my part.
Thanks, hope you have a good sleep 🙂
Thats like 32 times to many, whoopsie...
I'm heading to bed, but we've made some good progress today!
We snagged quite a massive spot. I'm suprised we've held it tbh.
Yeah we were in early! But now we have to hold it until 4pm tomorrow. Hopefully it will be fine!
I'm heading to bed now, but it's looking good!
Canvas ends 4pm tomorrow. Perhaps some touch ups to do tomorrow depending on what happens overnight.
Tomorrow, if it's still intact, I'll probably try to fill in some more background around this area of the canvas with some colour or spread the blue, to try to make it look less empty in the gaps between different projects. If anyone sees projects worth contributing to I'm available for hire (as much as I can be on a work day, anyway).
wow the fediverse auth is pretty cool. I like that.
Yeah, a cool way to get around the lack of OAuth or proper single sign on.
@Ilovethebomb@lemmy.nz I put in four different birds for laser eyes and I haven't seen even one yet!
