Making a Canadian Flag on Lemmy's r/Place

canvas.toast.ooo Canvas -- Lemmy's r/Place

Place pixels with people to create art

Maybe here we can draw the leaf without corrupting it. For reference I scaled the wikipedia picture to 100 pixels wide and anchored the 8 corners of the side borders. Hopefully we can make it look good!

Alrighty, the leaf is looking good, now nobody freaking touch it.
- Filling both sides now, let’s keep it going!
Would it be possible for a mod to make this a featured post for the duration of the event? @otter@lemmy.ca @Kokomheart@lemmy.ca
- Sure yes :)
  
  Looks like I don't get notifications for tags on my mobile app, didn't see it till now
  
  I suspect it's because I edited in the tags after the comment had already been made.
Construction complete
- Dope
FYI: I'm starting with the outline of the left half of the leaf. I have to go to work soon, but hopefully there'll be enough outline for the rest to be filled in (just mirror it one pixel over).
Is there a "faction" created yet
- I created one. Search for /c/Canada and you'll find it
  
  What are factions, and where do you search them? I don't see anything in the UI?
  
  EDIT: found them under a link under info. Thanks for setting the faction up!
It took me way too long to figure out how to reduce the opacity of the template so I could start. Then I found out I only had 2 pixels?
- The V key will toggle the overlay completely. Each person gets to place 1 pixel per minute.
  
  The opacity slider seems more useful since you can see the leaf.
First time participating in this. Seems interesting, let's get this flag done!
The leaf outline is finished. It's really starting to come together.
- Finished off the stem :)
So should we use the pink to anti-alias sub-half-pixels at all or no?
- Once the leaf is more painted, give it a try and zoom out.
  
  I dont think it'll look like AA as much as a pink outline
  
  Yeah, when I was picking a scale I intentionally looked for one with minimal AA cause I was worried about that. The 180-wide version was full of it, as was the 99.
Maybe it's time for this four month old thread to disappear
And we've got a griefer
