Recently me and some friends have been getting into this new social experiment called Wplace. If that sounds familiar, it's very similar to the r/place experiment held on reddit a couple years ago! Everyone's canvas is google maps, and you're given a set of pixels (which refresh on a timer) that you can use to paint the world with various pixel art. It's a lot of fun and seeing everyone's creativity on display (plus the art of characters and fandoms which you happen to enjoy) is part of the fun! I figured I'd make a thread for people to share their creations or collaborate on bigger projects. You can check it out here: https://wplace.live

I've happened across at least two Homestuck pieces so far in my explorations. The former (which I've also been contributing to personally) is a mural of the alterniabound sprites over in LA: https://wplace.live/?lat=33.90726054746813&lng=-117.99975619072265&zoom=13.33793144598472


There's also this gigantic symbolically rendered Johnolith being constructed in Washington, alongside some other Homestuck symbolism: https://wplace.live/?lat=47.36663015835613&lng=-122.06715853447265&zoom=12.265201981383228

If anyone else happens to find homestucks in the wild feel free to share!

I think I've met the person doing the massive John on Discord! In fact me and a few others have been placing homestuck all around the world on there lol, it's been fun. I placed some Nepetae (plural for Nepeta) here and there in random spots in the world. Another person put Gamzee on "Clown Island" (Salt Lake Island), and I've seen lots of homestucks in Brazil. I was working on marking a maid Equius somewhere in Brazil but messed it up pretty bad and kinda left it lol.

This is a really fun site to just explore and see what people have come up with.

Roxy located on the I-95 https://wplace.live/?lat=47.349721292036065&lng=-122.06241244072265&zoom=14.052886742941778. Also, The equius in the previous screenshot has been built and progress is now being done on Karkat.


@spectralcatnap It's a lot of fun! But finding the Homestuck stuff has been a bit challenging. I wish you could input locations to jump to them instead of going there manually or through a link. I'll try to keep an eye out for any stray Neps.

Hey, I'm the person doing the massive John in Maple Valley! It appears to have been contributed to by some other users though.

If you're looking for the image I'm using to cross reference, it's this one:

Oh that's you? Sick haha. Surprisingly he's not the only john, there's actually another one over in brazil that I found on Reddit alongside a huge assortment of other characters.

The alterniabound sprites got finished! Not sure where to go from here, there's a nepeta being worked on nearby that I might move onto next.
