Canvas 15 was originally announced on 2018/08/06 as being 829x1500 pixels, leading to many to claim areas based on a pure rectangle of these dimensions.
However, on 2018/08/10, more details were released: "915,459 pixels, all straight edges, all right angles, it's mostly rectangular". Given that 829x1500 pixels yields 1,243,500 pixels, this means that the canvas was likely to be a shape with coordinates on which pixels cannot be placed, like the donut shape of Canvas 4, or the fox shape of Canvas 8.
At its launch it was revealed the the canvas depicted a smartphone in portrait orientation, with its bezels and UI elements not available for placing, forcing all art to effectively be built on its screen as part of a painting interface - the first canvas to have that mechanic (previous canvases relied on unplaceable pixels being transparent).
Info
The size of the canvas was 829x1500 and 915,459 of the 1,240,584 total pixels were placeable. (73.8%) There were also 325,125 unplaceable colored pixels which can be seen highlighted in red in the placemap image to the right.
An interactive version of this canvas showing the names of factions and where they were located can be found here.
More detailed info such as timelapses, the final virginmap, and more can be found on the official pxls.space archives.
Major Events
- Red Blob Invasion: a group from the site FunnyJunk invaded pxls.space after their primary pixel site was down. They attempted to cover the canvas with red, starting with the Canadian flag, but gave up when they got banned for multis and bots.
Minor Events
- Abyss-Pxls Roads War: The Abyss attacked some various arts and Pxls Roads. The Crusaders were called in to wipe out the Abyss.
- Schopenhauer Campaign: The Abyss attacked and covered the Jägermeister art. A new coalition called the Crusaders retaliated. The user Schopenhauer#9166 then reported himself to a mod and had 3 alts banned at once, crushing the Abyss. Schopenhauer was later criticized for using multiple accounts in the first place.
- Purple Lattice Invasion: The Woke Cells (formally Woke Reich) invaded Purple Lattice, which would lead to the permanent destruction of PL.
- Roach Cookie Crumble: After the completion of what came to be known as the Roach Cookie, a small coalition headed a raid to appropriate the area on the basis that it just looked awful.
