It was looking a bit empty there, I thought someone would start something, but no one did.

Dunno maybe a row boat in the blue? ๐Ÿค”

I was wondering maybe this laser kiwi at 200,340?

Fills a gap at the top of the south island.

click me

A row boat could work in the blue too.

That can work too, but we'll be double kiwi-ing it!

Edit: what about a pair of gumboots?

[โ€“] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Oh sorry didn't see the gumboot suggestion. Think we can still fit that in somewhere?

[โ€“] eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Sorry! I got distracted with something else, and then fell asleep ๐Ÿ˜… Don't know if there's still time to add it?

Done, just like that!

Any other ideas or do you know of other projects wanting a hand? The canvas is looking really good!

Maybe! If we have a template. Something like the yellow boots here but black? Maybe with a red band?

[โ€“] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yeah but it has a nice run for lasers to go towards the left for the laser eyes. I'm thinking directly across, two high (or bigger if we finish the other parts.

Any thoughts on a template for a row boat? Drawing at that size is really quite tricky!

Edit: Oh we had one last year! Something like this little orange kayak?

[โ€“] eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

After a quick google I couldn't find anything suitable, I'm happy with something simple

[โ€“] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 1 week ago

I edited to add a kayak thing from last year. I've started drawing that towards the bottom of that section.
