An advertisement need not necessarily be art, but what counts as art is also a subjective thing. “Just text and some stars” could be art, depending on how one thinks about it.

Wait, do you mean it was possible to place white on white? I thought that wasn’t possible…

I disagree; something can be both advertisement and art at the same time.

To some extent, some people also painted more when they saw there was more space. I know I did. If the Canvas had filled up, I’d either have stopped or gotten involved in turf battles if they came up.

I don’t think this was possible this time, but someone suggested this possibility upthread.

FWIW as a sidenote I just wanted to point out that it seems the system tracked pixel ‘virginity’ based simply on whether they’d been touched at all before, including corrections; rather, it was background pixels that didn’t charge the extra cooldown, from what I could tell.

Sorry for the silly nitpicking about wording, though given that the Canvas treated these two properties separately I wonder if this might be useful information for whoever runs this next time.

Wow, that’s like 3000 pixels total.

Interesting.

🎊

Sorry I missed it! Though that link is broken.

Also, wow, I didn’t realize it was one of our instance’s own that put the font guide down there. Props to @Stoneykins@mander.xyz!

May I request mander.xyz?

I mentioned this place to a few Discord communities I’m on, at least! Having a massive collage of random stuff to sift through and play Where’s Waldo with is a pretty fun thing even if people aren’t drawing things themselves.

You did and it was hilariously absurd.

I actually like that about this Canvas. The competition for space is much less intense so there was more of a collaboration than a competition vibe to the whole place.

Ah, that’s a neat thing to find out too.

Embarrassingly, I’m on here.

Thought: # of remaining virgin pixels is a little clouded by a couple things: people making mistakes then whiting them out, and people using default white space as part of designs

(not sure what you mean by # surviving pixels, but this was my first thought)

I’d like to see an overall heat map, yeah. I know that area in the top left quadrant with the four-color paint roller used to be something else that a user and their multiple alts tried hard to get on the Canvas.

oh yeah I’m curious to see an average-pixels-per-user for each instance

Yeah, they got organized very early and very fast.
