Star Trek presence on Canvas growing!

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

Place pixels with people to create art

-- The SNW command delta is complete.

-- A user from another instance has taken the lead on an original Constitution-class.

-- Worf has a wordmark.

The fandom is making a good showing (if not as overwhelming as the My Little Pony space).

If you haven’t yet tried (or succeeded) in dropping a pixel, just head to the Canvas and login identifying your instance and username. You’ll be sent a PM with a confirmation code to authenticate your login.

Once in you can just drop pixels or join a faction. So far there are two active Star Trek factions: Quark’s (short name QUARK) and The Klingon Empire (short name KLINK) that you can join.

Didn’t know this was a thing so I visited the canvas and saw it’s completely overrun by MLP. I guess I now know the demographics of the average Lemmy user.
- Your welcome to join in populating the Trek-space.

I've tooken up the mantle of a Klingon emblem, to the bottom left of our Delta.
- Excellent, I saw that getting started and I wondered what it was.
  Did you happen to figure out how to share the url with the overlay of your template? I’d really like to contribute.
  
  I have not, although I'll look into that.

Looking great over there! Thanks for sharing.
- Yeah, except for that damned pus-filled boil that is the Osu logo. It's a pox that never goes away. I despise every person involved with putting it there.
  
  To be fair, its an open source game, so I don't really mind that much. And the logo that's here is already smaller than the original one lol.

Just over two hours to go. Here’s how our StarTrek space is doing…
- Looks finished. Don't think we need any last minute changes,
  
  Looks great to me.
  Showed honour for Trek fandom.

I'm building a crimson forcefield around the Constitution-class (Euclid).
- I can see why you felt it necessary. The flags of Ireland has apparently grown into the wordmark.
  I am adding a Vulcan IDIC hand emoji in between things for much the same reason.
  
  Good luck. Thing ends at 1100 CEST.

I'm adding a shuttlecraft to the Constitution-class. Should we name the vessel (the Constitution-class)?
Edit: The shuttle is more like a Captain's Yacht in size...
- Euclid?
  
  Good name. Sure. U.S.S. Euclid, NCC-1686 (Alex the Great + Euclid's (330 max predicted) birth years and 1 added to front)

This is the reference I was using for the Constitution class, feel free to add to it or make changes: https://canvas.toast.ooo/#x=104&y=593&scale=5.27&template=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.dribbble.com%2Fusers%2F7549%2Fscreenshots%2F2222860%2Fpixel-nc1701.png&ox=36&oy=551&tw=100&title=&convert=unconverted
If it's not giving you a full URL to share for your own references, you can also just share the coordinates + image itself. For example mine is https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/7549/screenshots/2222860/pixel-nc1701.png at coords (36,551) and width of 100.
Side question, does Canvas have chat? I see it in settings but don't see UI to use it anywhere.
- We are supposed to be able to chat within a faction with active members.
  I haven’t been able to figure out how to make it work either. Since the admin is only available via an account on Matrix, and asking about basic functionality isn’t at all sensitive, it seemed better to reach out within the community for tips.

Only 24 hours left before the canvas is locked.

Here’s a recent screenshot.
Great work everyone. Glad to see more users from this instance and a lot of engagement from other instances as well.
- I'm considering making a "Gorkon" wordmark.
  Edit: Not enough space.
  Edit: Enough space! Done!
  
  Sounds good. Could you however avoid the blank area over the black StarTrek.website wordmark please?
  I am trying to get help from another user to make an IDIC template for that spot.
  
  I’ve started the IDIC.
  There may be enough space for Gorkon to the left of the Klingon Imperial Symbol and at the right of the flag there.

There is a user on this website who appears to be using a different or larger version of this IDIC template.
Could you check in with me please?
