Depending on whats possible, we could do something similar to R/place and every so often expand the canvas
start off with something small eg.512x512 and add another 512 px. along side
If I remember right, r/place “scaled up” by adding more blank canvas. But it might be more interesting to actually scale up the previous pixels as well, so each iteration is overlaying the previous one with higher detail.
The end result wouldn’t look as empty, because it would be easier to fill large areas early on.

Or to make it more realistic, let it expand like the universe. I.e. add extra space between each two pixels:

Or keep non-blank pixels together, because of pixel bounds.
