Naive art on spawn

*For art from YWOT, see here

*For OWOT related art made outside of the canvas, see OWOT Fanart

Art is the opposite of spam; content intended to make OWoT more visually appealing and provide a contrast from the enormous plains of spam. It's often griefed, replaced, spammed or wiped, often by trolls and griefers.

It's less usual to see at spawn, but can be found more far away. However, there are times where art is seen at spawn, for example on January 29 2023.

Art can mainly be found on /main or other worlds.

Art archives like KKosty4ka's art archive, fp's art archive and /SpawnHistory/2023 exist.

Art is also ruined by spam scripts or overwritten by image pasters.

There are many types of text art like SLC art, ANSI art and ASCII art.

Traditional ASCII art

Art made almost entirely of standard keyboard characters, with the occasional unicode thrown in.

Traditional ASCII artists include kkb, Meimei, Rscr, Guest-1052, and the anonymous members of the Man Hating Zone.

Tutorial

Once you get the hang of it, it is possible to replicate line art using text characters. 

To adjust steepness of horizontal lines:

`. `-_ `-.._ `*-..__ etc.

Shortest to Tallest: _,.-~=+<*"`

To adjust steepness of vertical lines:

:     :     :
:     :     :
:     L     '
 :     :     :
 :     q     '
  :     :     q
   \     \     \

   :     :     :
   :     :     :
   :     J     '
  :     :     :
  :     y     '
 :     :     y
/     /     /


To Shade:

III;;;;;:::::.'.'.'`.`.`.```
IIIIII;;;;;;:::::.'.'.'`.`.`.````
HHHHIIII;;;;;::::::.'.'.'.`.`.`.````
IIIIII;;;;;;:::::.'.'.'`.`.`.`````
III;;;;;:::::.'.'.'`.`.`.```

Darkest: W V H 8 @ #

Second Darkest: I 6 9

Third Darkest: ;;;;;

Second Lightest: :::::: .'.'.

Lightest: .`.`.`. ````` .....

*You can also space out characters to make them lighter.
*Any character can be used for shading, not just the ones
listed above.

Helpful Unicodes:

Overscore: ¯

Accent Symbol: ´ 

45 Degree Line: ⟋ ⟍

Colored ASCII art

Using colored text, it is possible to create incredibly vibrant art of all forms.

9029 is a notable user who makes ASCII art using colored text.

Unicode/ANSI art

Art created using unicode.

ANSI art can be hybridized with regular ASCII art to great effect, as seen in many of kkb's works.

The Man Hating Zone also contains an especially talented ANSI artist.

Tutorial

ANSI art is similar to pixel art, but with added limitations that give it a special aesthetic.

Pixel art

Users like CCL and Poopman have developed scripts that allow users to draw pixel art using unicode.

SLC art

Main article: Symbols for Legacy Computing

Art created using Symbols for Legacy Computing: characters which are not supported on the vast majority of modern websites.

SLC characters are mixed with unicodes, colored text, and the ability to change cell background color to create surreal approximations of 3D objects.

SLC artists include JRT, AndreiXYZ, jan soweli Asike, place_holdrr and Polonez.

For an in depth SLC tutorial, see /SLC-Handbook-Maybe.
