I’m attempting to make a lil Vivian character over here. Here is the link if someone is interested.

(I hope this kind of post is allowed on this community)

      Thank you very much for helping! I was asleep during the new uptime… So glad the canvas is somewhat stable now. I will probably add some shading under the hair, as that part of the artwork didn’t transfer over into the template for some reason. It can be seen in the original artwork though.

      EDIT: I’ve done it. The hair is shaded now

        Ooo, the shaded hair looks pretty. Glad I could help, although honestly I just did most of the stripes on her hat, and filled in the hair swirl. Rest of my night’s been spent expanding the trans flag

          I mostly focussed in dotting out the outline at the Start and painting in the purple body. It’s really cool to see these artworks pop up on here, even if just a few people are working on it <3

    So how does it work. Template is made, people use their pixels, then…

    How do you know someone hasn’t already filled a pixel. How do you know the colour.

      First you gotta login (which can be tricky for some, they send you a code and stuff)

      Then You can chose from the color selector at the bottom and place your pixels onto the canvas. The template just makes it easier to view where one should place their pixels to complete the picture.

      For the color selection, it’s a lot easier on pc. There you can just middle-click to automatically select the color of the template. On mobile you have to find that color yourself in the color selector at the bottom. The body color is purple as an example (there are multiple shades of pink).

      If you have more questions, ask right away!

          The template is just an overlay over what has already been done. In the “Dotted Big” mode (which is activated in the link I put into the post) the templated pixels are the small ones and the larger pixels are the ones which have already been placed by others. So essentially, we want the pixels to go from small (only in the template) to big (actually placed on the canvas).

        but this one only works on one-to-one template view format, which your link doesnt use (but can be changed in the settings)
