Welcome everyone! the 2026 Canvas Event is now live, which means it’s time for us to gather together to make our mark on it!
>> Click here to go to the Canvas Page with the template already loaded! <<
Be sure that your template’s opacity is set to 50% so you can see what pixels still need to be placed. you can adjust the template opacity by clicking the settings button below your username at the top right:
For those unfamiliar with what the Canvas event is, refer to our previous planning thread here.
How do I join? - At the login on Canvas, use your existing Lemmy username (in my case, it would be ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net), which will prompt the website to send you a message to your Lemmy inbox with a code. Use that code along with your Lemmy username to log into the Canvas site so you can begin placing pixels.
What will we be drawing on the Canvas? - We’re going attempt to draw two different images, one of a stylized SLRPNK logo:
As well as this image submitted by Terradragon:
Where will we be drawing them on the Canvas? - The Furry artwork team, part of which is comprised of the Pawb.social lemmy instance, has agreed to let us create our artworks near them. You can see where we ours is planned to be in relation to theirs on this preview template map (look toward the bottom left corner): https://chocolatecakecodes.goip.de/cotemplate/ui/template/20260520-Canvas26_main
How do we begin drawing the artwork? - It’ll be best to begin with the outlines of each artwork, as that will help both stake our claim, and help us ensure the overall dimensions are right before we begin filling it in with the details.
I’ve created a set of instructions on what order to create each artwork in, progressing in 20% increments. Click each one below to expand it:

It’s awesome to see it all filled out now, and how someone put one sus flower in amongst it :p
I absolutely adore the sunset, contrasts so nicely with everything and just looks super cool! Well done both of you! ^^
@reallykindasorta@slrpnk.net
Which sus flower, you don’t mean my solar panel do you?! I agree it looks so nice with the sunset! I thought it was looking blank over there and was hoping someone would do something:) Thank you @foxymochakitten@slrpnk.net!!
There’s a single flower in the flower patch that’s actually
spoiler
an among us astronaut trying to blend in :p
The solar panel/heat lamp combo in the tree had me laughing the first time I noticed it 😄
Ohh I see it now :D And one in the sunset too. Sneaky sneaky
it’s a heat lamp?? that’s genius hehe I thought it was just a nice little light
EDIT: hehe the sunset one is mine. I was inspired by the one on the duck bill (which has sadly been covered over)
I only intended a lamp but since heat lamp is 10x better it’s definitely a heat lamp @ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net
Hehehe the sus flower made me laugh out loud when I saw it XD
I’ve finally convinced my partner to make a slrpnk.net account because they saw me happily filling in squares of sunset and wanted to participate. Never mind that I’ve extolled the virtues of slrpnk.net in general for months XDD
Lol, the sunsets are what really draw in the crowds 😄
I hope they enjoy their time here! ^^
