Group name: EU flags
Template: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=250&y=250&zoom=1&tu=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FoGZ2CwU.png&tw=92&tx=329&ty=213&ts=ONE%5C_TO%5C_ONE
Matrix: https://chat.fediverse.events/#/room/#euflags-canvas:aftermath.gg
Fun fact: the Flag of Europe in the middle of the template is way older than the European Union, from 1953.
Note: The flags for this year were not selected by me, but are those that people drew during Canvas 2024. I reorganized them to reduce the number of places where identical colors touch. I also reserved a spot for up to 4 newcomers.
canvas2025groups #EuropeanUnion

Group name: None, individual drawing. I'm just reserving the space in case anyone wants to do stuff that interacts with it (like critters climbing it, etc.)
\ Matrix: none
\ Template: link
\ Fun fact: it's a tree. Very wood. Much leafy.
- critter
  Meep, the Chicken!
  Discord/Matrix: none, but Meep originates from this discord server https://discord.gg/H3NJPnht (for an upcoming online Indie game)
  
  Cute chicken! Great idea to put it on the tree. Also, thanks for the help with the tree!

Group name : Feditrain
Project : we build a long train or several one, and put our avatar above it. The train will run on flag. Think it as a train that transport us and our message through ActivityPub road.
We leaved matrix for Zulip (better thread support and organization. But no federation between servers). So no group yet.
Snoopy has plenty cool picture allowing an endless gif to express our feelings and he is a warm type writter
I need to draw the template and test the train scale so our avatar won't be very small.
Some picture. The train model (we could choose multiple model and it is a solarpunk idea) :

And above that train, on each wagon, we put our avatars in pixelart. For example, i will draw this snoopy :
- Here is the result :)

Group Name: Furries of the Fediverse
Template: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#tu=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.catbox.moe%2F7boa4j.png&tw=157&tx=0&ty=356&ts=ONE_TO_ONE&x=78.5&y=434.5&zoom=1
Matrix: https://matrix.to/#/#Fedi_Canvas-Furry-2025:nope.chat
(Not So) Fun Fact: 5.8 million dogs and cats were put up for adoption in 2024, and in the same year, there were only 4.2 million adoptions. Consider a shelter animal rather than a breeder for your next pet, and consider donating to your local animal rescue.
Anyone else making furry or generally animal themed art is more than welcome to drop their own art in / around these. If you've got something you're planning to draw, and want to pop into the above linked Matrix chat, we'll try to integrate it and update the template.
@lvxferre@mander.xyz: I don't believe we're intersecting your tree, but if we are, we'll go behind it, not over it.
- It's fine if you guys need to cover some of the leaves with your drawing, but apparently it won't be needed - your drawing is only touching mine, there's no intersection. Cool :)
  
  Great - that's what we were trying to go for, but the inability to load multiple templates simultaneously makes it difficult to confirm!

[For when the canvas expands]
Big Original Boykisser
There are not nearly enough boykissers up until now. To fix this, I propose a fairly big boykisser for when the canvas doubles. This is the original version of the boykisser, back when they hypnotised to viewer. Assuming that the canvas will double to the right at 06:00 CEST (in 5,5h at time of writing), here's a possible Template:
https://canvas.fediverse.events/#x=365&y=89&zoom=2&tu=https%3A%2F%2Ffiles.catbox.moe%2Fif6lpu.png&tw=113&tx=760&ty=383&ts=ONE_TO_ONE
To discuss the making of it, I've created a Matrix Room:
https://matrix.to/#/#canvas2025boykisser:matrix.org
If this is interfering with someone elses plans, please notify me ASAP.
- Well, this is awkward. The canvas didn't expand.

Fun fact: if I directed the Brazilian dub for a Celeste movie, I would fight for my life to make Madeline be called Madalena.

Just gonna go ahead and post this template here for myself to reference later: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#tu=https%3A%2F%2Fvignette.wikia.nocookie.net%2Flogopedia%2Fimages%2Fa%2Fa8%2FNintendo_GameCube_logo.png%2Frevision%2Flatest%3Fcb%3D20160614112552&tw=192&tx=288&ty=142&ts=ONE_TO_ONE&x=384&y=238&zoom=1
Fun fact: the Gamecube is cool. :)
- I'm always surprised how chill it is here. The exact opposite of Place, as far as I remember. I threw this out there and drew the outline. Filled in a couple inside pixels, but then fun and helpful strangers carried it all the way through to completion. And it survived to the end even. Nice!

just casually adding in shorthand for a slogan now illegal in hong kong here: https://canvas.fediverse.events/#tu=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Ffa08a704-da1d-4f3b-aaef-dbc8aad8d8ac.png&tw=32&tx=400&ty=485&ts=ONE_TO_ONE&x=416&y=501&zoom=1
