All good! A bunch of furries came out of the woodwork and filled in a bunch of it. :)

If any of you are in the mood to draw a bit more before it ends tonight, we started filling in the background of the furry corner with a maroon color, then the trans flag came in and started to fill things in, but it looks like it's mostly been abandoned, or at the very least isn't going to be finished or cleaned up before the event ends... Nobody's touched it for hours. Currently thinking we might try to finish filling this area maroon, ideally all the way up to the bottom of the character over the Riolu). Your yeen is looking a little sad at the moment and it'd be rad to give him(?) a cleaner background to live on.
They're banking on the assumption that they won't have to once Trump wins the election.
Least you solved the problem! :)
At least 1 pixel above the Pawb logo, and over to the green flag beside us (and around the small ace flag). I was originally going to just fill our entire little corner here, but the trans flag started popping up here after I started working on it, which is mildly annoying, but we can work something out, I'm sure.
I'm also repairing .nz's laser; if you're working on the trans flag, I've been trying to contact you via Matrix, you can reach me there. The laser is a few pixels off from where it should be (it's crooked); I have a template for it showing where it's going to be.
The original one was submitted from an app, whereas the latest one was submitted via web, so maybe that's the problem - the app seems to default to http://.
Huh, that's wild. Can you see this one, out of curiosity?
Are you on web or on an app? I've heard some apps have trouble with in-line images.
Someone posted a screenshot of the Yiffit area on the canvas (with the emojis we added yesterday), with the message "I thought there was a surprising lack of cock drawings on the canvas, then I saw yiffit's stuff... they really know how to fly under the radar there".
Thought you might find this amusing (from the Matrix server):
Yeah, I've always been a shit artist for I assume the opposite reason; I can think of a thing in a macro sense, like "I want to draw [thing], it has these features', but when it comes time to actually draw those features, I can't pinpoint exactly what they look like. It's like reading a few sentence description of a tree, and then trying to draw one purely based on that description - you can get a general sense for what it looks like, but not the fine detail needed to accurately represent one visually.
Incidentally, I have a difficult time commissioning art as a result, because I have an idea of what I want, but I have a hard time communicating the finer details. AI generated art has actually been really helpful for me in this regard; I can see something and know if it's what I want or not, so being able to give an AI art generator a broad description and get back 100 images from which I can pick a few and tell an artist which parts of each one I want has made it much easier.
There's not enough time left to meaningfully fill another 500,000 pixels; there's still a ton of white space on the current canvas. If the place time was shortened, it would have to be down to something like 5 seconds to be impactful. Changing the "rules" to that extent this late in the game feels silly. There's plenty of empty space as it stands.
Just my 2 cents, though.
No worries! Thanks for the help with all the stuff in that corner!
