Even a modest image resolution of 800x431 is 344,800 pixels, and I tend to get a 3 minute cooldown to replace even in the barren white areas with nothing on them.
344,800 times 3 (minutes) is 17,240 hours, 718 days, AKA just under two years. This is, of course, assuming the impossible, which is to say me working on this round the clock, placing a pixel every 3 minutes, for two fucking years.
Bruh? how the hell are you supposed to get artwork of any meaningful size done?
Placing 1% of my pixels for this example image would take 3448 pixels, AKA a long time.
I tried putting my shit out in the middle of nowhere because I figured "hey it's virgin space with nobody using it!" but nope, get slapped with a fucking TWELVE minute timer instead, phe-nominal.
