We laughed. We cried. We finally figured out what POG was (I think).
While The Layer Maker will get some much-deserved rest, every canvas will stay up and fully functioning until 10/31. You can vote, you can sort, and we've even added a few new surprises to help layers surface up from under giant piles of eggs. The team will get some sleep, and come back to start sifting through the 80k original pieces of art you beautiful people created here. A full recap will follow shortly after.
On behalf of Reddit X Adobe, we want to extend thanks for letting us watch you create. Thank you.
Please be good to each other,
The Layer: Season 2 Team
If you feel there are any layers in particular that flew under the radar but tug at your heart and deserve to be seen (even if it's yours) reply to this comment with a link.

Welcome! Have some Accidental Dots. It's good to have you here.
Is there ever going to be a season 3? This was so much fun and Id love to do it again
There better be.
There better be a Place Season 2
I’ve mentioned this in previous comments, but pixelplace.io is the closest thing I’ve ever played.
Absolutely, no way they're gonna cancel this on season 2
R.I.P layer Season 2
Same here.
Dammit. I'm glad you're here anyway. Have a look around. Flip through a canvas or two. Have an egg.
Hey there will always be season 3 right... right?
same
I feel terrible. You can still play with the canvases and while that may sound sucky, perhaps an award will help sweeten the salt.
AWAAARD damn thank you
Welcome! Have a Cloak Of Scribbles.
Same except I’m really late because I was browsing Reddit and just noticed this
I had a lot of good ideas but i cant draw, i missed a great opportunity, and my ideas have been forgotten (i forget every good idea in one day)
What was your idea? I will draw it for you.
It was like 2 days ago, and since i couldnt do it i alredy forgot Edit: ah now i remember, steve from spore in the center of test canvas please ignore
I can relate, I wanted to draw something but I decided to save it for later because I got busy. Now I'll never finish it :(

Thank you very much for hosting this event! It has been very fun! :)
Edit: Many thanks to u/Adobe as well for this!
It was really fun and amusing. Brought back a lot of old memories while I thought about what to sketch. Thanks Redddit and Adobe for the wholesale experience :)
There was a part in ‘connect the dots’ that really reminded me of waiting for my dad to pick me up from my moms while I played minesweeper. That canvas even more than the gaming canvas where people were actually drawing minesweeper for a short while. I don’t know why.
That is really warm and sweet :) I really hope they were good memories.
The tux I drew reminded me of when my PC broke down when I was a young, and my dad was traveling abroad back then. I called him long-distance, and told him about it. He said the technician was on vacation and I would have to wait for him to return back home and reinstall the Windows because he left the CDs in his office.
I found a free debian linux that came with a technology magazine and I tried to install it by following the instructions. 2 hrs later, I was able to browse the internet once again and pass my free time. I was in love with it ever since.

Will you post the whole final product?
Yes. We're going to take the weekend though to rest. There's a guy here that hasn't slept in 5 days.
Nobody knows who he is and he didn't work on this, but damn that guy can go.
Is the final product going to be the canvas when sorted by top or hot? (Hopefully not new lol)
Both. The canvases still function, meaning users can still decide what belongs on top. I’m waiting for a final date to run time lapses, it’s malleable until then.
I would think they could display both
Are you planning on posting all the canvases separately? A couple of mine made it to the top of two canvases so I was hoping to see them.
You can use the search feature in the layer panel to find anything you want.
I mean showing the ones on top as a full screenshot
Oh, yeah. Gonna do that. And the canvases are still malleable even though the ability to add to them is disabled.
Meaning, you can still vote on ones you want to be front and center.
You all did good! very very amazing
Always!
nooo I was about to make my last canvas!!
well, see you guys next season!
I will see all of you canvas creators in four years, farewell my friends.
I will be working on my new found love of painting!
Damn. I was still working on a Taiwan flag ball. Submitted and it was lost. Not sure there were any other Taiwans
There probably was other Taiwan flags
There were. Your country was well represented.
Yep, seeing them now. I was mainly looking at the united nations one, but it definitely makes me happy to see it on the total layer. My bad and thank you
Really? 3 minutes before I first saw this?
Damn. 20 min ago, I opened Reddit (it is 2 am what else should I do?!) and there is this weird symbol on the Top, I look it up and like yaa this subreddit will be closed in 5 minutes. Even if I only know this project for a couple of minutes I already fell in love with it and I am looking forward to the next season. All of you did a great job with all of this and I love ya all <3
i love you youngluck
I love you, mom.
You guys this was great, I can't wait for next time.
I appreciate you participating.
When could be season 3
This was really fun! Good night guys.
Thank you. And goodnight.
I enjoyed r/Layer, I'm excited for the next one
Do you mean the search function? Either it's new or I just only recently figured out it existed. Probably not possible but adding username search functionality would be nice. (Yes, I'm vain enough to want a collective screenshot of my offerings on some canvases). If there's other tips, I'm going to need an ELI5. If there's an option to 'mute' all the single color tiles; that'd be great. There were definitely some fine collaborative efforts in some cases, but those are pretty obvious already.
Yes search. Yes usernames (the drop in search lets you find users) and another thing I don’t want to say because it’s awesome but also I don’t really remember what it was. Been a really long two weeks.
EDIT: I remember. Filtering by Best Of Awards. So you can search all the hats the ‘Hats’ that won Best Of’s
Yeah, you should probably get some rest. Sweet dreams, youngluck.
how do you do that filter
guys message me when layer season 3 starts, I have an amazing drawing in mind and I'm saving it for the next season
From giant baguettes being taken over by eggs, long Dream roads, giant Germany flag, Rubik’s cubes, to “r/plates was butter”. I had a fantastic time while it lasted and will be waiting for the next season. Thank you to the mods and u/Adobe for this. See you! Happy my door is on the all canvas section on the bottom left.
Thank you so so much for doing this Reddit and Adobe! It was so much fun and it was incredibly nice to see people telling stories about some layers
Can’t wait to participate in the next season and see other users layers!
It'd be super sick to see the collaborations without any of the mess. The vaporwave one would look so cool if it wasn't for all the art covering it.
You can still make them what you want. There are three sorts, TOP HOT & NEW. The Canvases function fully. Just vote for the ones you want on top and make sure the TOP sort is selected. We’re figuring out how to run time lapses for every view.
Oh, come on! I just found out about this subreddit and it's already over?
this was alot of fun nice event
This year won’t ever be the same without you all, the Reddit team and u/adobe. So far, this is a really memorable highlight of 2020 for us all on Reddit! Cheers.
I didn't even know this existed until I found an icon near the top left of reddit

I had a ball drawing shitty moustaches on peoples well drawn characters XD
I successfully placed a drawing of my iPod right next to the SpaceX logo in Technology. What a season!
Darn I was hoping to get an award for one of mine but I still had a ton of fun!
The Void should have won.
The void got their own redemption arc in Grayscale. The misunderstood nothing became a necessary ingredient for the beauty that was born on that canvas. The eraser became the enabler became the winner in the end. The Void became our Sloth in The Goonies.
Wise words. However, The Void does not need redemption, as they were never the villains. Their attempts to wipe the canvas of r/place was an attempt at balance and equality, not at destruction.
ngl this was fun and I loved it
I claim credit for being the first person on POG to branch Dream from a snake into a tree and then into a web thingy
I was going to do more things but 14-15 minutes ago finished I’m sad but I liked it so much
Well this event was fun!
Now "Season 2" of r/place has to arrive!
What if repeating place again ruins the novelty? I think being so unique and legendary is why is has such a reputation.
Although, it would be infinitely interesting to do a place-2.0 in 50 years and see how it compares.
I’ve come to realize Place coming back would be like Jesus coming back. Everyone wants it. Everyone is ready for it. But when he comes back people mistake him for that other long haired dude up the block that also yells, “I LOVE YOU!” at everyone, only he’s naked and clearly off his meds.
Yeah, that was a terrible metaphor.
Why can’t place and layer be permanent features?
Then they wouldn’t be as special.
Love seeing the Reddit community come together and do its thing! Tons of Fun! I can't even imagine all the work, programming, let alone storing all the layers...
Thank You so Much r/Layer Season 2 Team, and Adobe! Not to mention all the Redditors who contributed! What an awesome website!
Thanks, it was a lot of fun and I discovered I like to paint and am not too bad at it. So now to get real paint and start painting. I wonder how good I can get by next time!! Again, thank you so much!!
Why won’t you let it stay forever? Just in its own little corner of Reddit, so the community can still thrive?
make it a permanent feature
I was 2 hours late.
2 hours late.
*sigh* guess there's always next year...
I literally just made two really dumb drawings. But, it was cool idea, and I saw some really good drawings. Thanks u/reddit and u/adobe, you guys are awesome.
I'd also give you an award, but I do not have many coins...
Has it been a year since the first one already?
holy crap it has ummmmmmmm
It was fun drawing countryballs.
POG is literally BOTTOM_TEXT
I’m so depressed that it’s over already! It was so much fun to do, so I’m really hoping for a season 3!
I have no idea what is going on in this sub at all but I absolutely love it !! I want someone to aware me but I also enjoy not knowing and just rolling with it
Nooooo, I had work today and missed out on being able to add to the last few canvassas!!
Ugh, I'm especially upset that I didn't get the chance to add to the Things We Love canvas.
So long, space cowboy
WE NEED SEASON 3!
I feel content. I created multiple layers that weren't complete garbage and had some minor semblance of value. It was fun while it lasted, oh well...
now can we get place season 2?
wait it was ending in gmt?
huh.
do not resurface from under those eggs. - the creator of the omega egg
Did someone make a timelapse like the last time?
This was really fun to do! I loved to draw stuff but i even more loved to look at other drawings and see references that i understand :>
if there is, when will there be a season 3?
Yay finally I create something in my life!
So long and thanks for all the fish.
Layer 2 was amazing. Thank you too and here is a Heart from me to the Layer 2 team!
how can I download the final image bruh lmao
My post was posted before the season ended, it still hasn’t appeared on the layer?
Man I was going to paint my original characters. Better to do it somewhere else I guess.
It was a pleasure and an honor!
Oh no
Anyways...
This is a crisis. Everyone panic
The Layer: Season 2 Team
Layer 2 was amazing. Thank you too and here is a Heart from me to the Layer 2 team!
Thanks.
It's been great watching the canvas grow. Great job Adobe and Reddit!
Patiently waits for Layer Participation Trophy to appear
I wasn't even aware of it until now, I visit and it has ended...
Everyone in connect the dots had no idea of what they were doing
i just got here, nice.
Aww it’s over already?
That was so quick bruh
Aw man, I just finished one! i was wondering why I couldn't add it ; - ; time to go cry because i missed it again
Hey I had 3 up votes and then down voted so mine sucked ... lol
Oh so that's why I couldn't add anymore layers. Well, hopefully we'll see a season 3 in the future
i just joined and i see this .__.
Welcome! Glad to have you. Take look around. Have some scribbles.
Sad
I just noticed my new shiny trophy. Thank you!
No no. Thank you.
Congratz to season 2. I hope this will be a regular yearly thing so we could travel back in time and see all those memes of that period one day.
I didn't get the badge :(
F
Lol I thought I was banned because I couldn't post for like 10 minutes straight
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NpVg-hA349I
Is it that hard to make it a permanent feature?
Yes, I was the creator of the giant baguette which started at the NomNom canvas!
Surprised?
Didn't know that this many people would support this project. (Also, thx)
F
Aw man, I didn‘t get to finish mine.
Oh well.
Ok
hey i made two drawings and when i clicked "save masterpiece" i then named it and clicked post and then it disappeared? its nowhere to be found and was wondering if thats a glitch or something. i worked hard on them drawings
What, nooooo
I just finished my bot
well that was quick
we've even added a few new surprises to help layers surface up from under giant piles of eggs.
i can't find any surprises
It was as fun as season 1
It’s being like 7 days
It was nice while it lasted! Sad I never submitted anything but one All Might fan art is probably enough for this world...
Please tell me it'll be back
Note to future self: don’t waste time drawing memes no matter how good(bad) they are if they seem NSFW in the slightest
I couldn't ever get it to work when it was active :/
Bring back r/place
This was great
Please make season 3
Shoot I literally just got here
I didn’t even get to learn what this was
Kinda sad that all of the trans flags that used to dominate the canvas were eventually covered, but there's still some in there plus a bi and lesbian flag :D
Will it happen again next year?
I didn’t get this one at all
Will you do another r/place anytime?
Rip
oofy
How do I get a trophy?
when is season 3? i missed season 2.
Rip
I was here.
I just drew a few (random) lines 'cause I didn't understand what this was. (Sorry :( )
I loved your lines.
r/place was better
I participated shortly after the trophy was announced. Trophies are still rolling out or I'm just unlucky?
My ass somehow decided not to post here until 6 DAYS AFTER IT ENDED
JUST missed it, that’s alright though. Seemed like fun
Yay , at least I got to put crush 40 on there!
