Does anyone want to help run the aussie flag on canvas this year (starting July 12th)? I have limted time right now and this year we are going to add aussie pixel art to the flag.

For people who want to make pixel art

Feel free to make or find some aussie pixel art and reply, note that the whole flag is 200x100 and the union jack and stars take up a lot of space so it shouldn't be massive.

Help wanted with adding the art to the flag

If someone could work on taking the art below and in the replies and placing them on the flag that would be great. If you want to, reply below so we don't duplicate work and have multiple people doing it. Ensure that the pixel art does not cover the stars or union jack.

Here is the base image for the flag: Australian flag 200x100 which is 200x100 pixels.

Resources

Here is last years template if you want to see it. I will make a new template this year with the pixel art and flag at 200px by 100px.

Current pixel art

Not a bad idea, maybe we can have a seperate aboriginal flag next to the Australia one at full size.

Why is the Australian flag so big when I can see lots of flags that are recognisable at quarter of the size?

Why not? We manage to complete most of it (with help from the british ofc)

LOL that flag is massive! Was that really what happened last year?

[-] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 2 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

You have to disable template on the canvas to see what th flag actually looked like at the end.

[-] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 points 5 days ago

ah cheers, is there a way to automate the pixel placement?

[-] eatham@aussie.zone 2 points 5 days ago

That's probably against the rules :) We don't need to anyways, we can finish the flag this year if we try hard enough.

eatham ?

[-] maniacalmanicmania@aussie.zone 2 points 5 days ago

Is that bigger, smaller or same size as last year?

[-] eatham@aussie.zone 1 points 5 days ago

Same size, we almost did it last year. Will need to coordinate it more this year tho as everyone needs the template for pixel art, can't just fill blue.
