<blockquote>''I'm surprised this username isn't taken yet'' '''— Banksy after creating their account on December 20th, 2025'''</blockquote><blockquote>''this implies banksy retired from graffiti and started to make owot scripts instead'' '''— [[Katiserie]]'''</blockquote>'''Banksy''' (named after the pseudonymous street artist [[wikipedia:Banksy|of the same name]]) is a user who first made their presence known in November 2025. Since then they have become one of the most prolific scripters in the site's history, introducing multiple new scripts daily at the peak of their activity. In particular, they have created more [[animated scripts]] than any other user on OWOT<ref>That we know of.</ref>. | |||
Banksy had another username in 2018 but has since forgotten it. They were active as an [[Anonymous users|anon]] up until December 2025, when they took the name "Banksy" after creating an [[Image pasters|image paster]] in order to paste their namesake's grafitti at [[Spawn]]. | |||
Their text color is {{Color|color=#000055}}. | |||

=== Animated Carrion === | === Animated Carrion === | ||
On December 25th, 2024, Banksy set about making a script based on the 2020 video game [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnqmBhr4vLM ''Carrion''] (which was also the inspiration for a [[The Carrion|popular blob entity]] from OWOT). | |||
They created two testing scripts throughout the animated Carrion's development process, the first of which was a circular blob that Banksy could freely maneuver around the canvas. It had several abilities, such as creating a splash effect and attacking text using tendrils. The fully developed Carrion would more or less be a larger version of this script with more features and animations. | |||

</gallery> | </gallery>The second testing script was a colorful program that rendered physics simulations onto Banksy's page. It spawned complex, 3 dimensional patterns that could grow and pulsate, and that became increasingly lifelike throughout the testing process. Once an animation was started, Banksy could guide its growth by clicking at specific points on the canvas. This was meant to serve as a test for how the completed Carrion would move. | ||
Most of the larger/more extravagant animations from this script did not make it into the final product. Some were cut due to technical restrictions and to prevent the Carrion from being too destructive. | |||
<gallery mode="packed" widths="200" heights="200" caption="Colored tests on [https://ourworldoftext.com/banksy /Banksy]"> | Some of the physics simulations used small blobs (like from the first script) as a base unit for drawing lines.

</gallery> | </gallery>The script was completed on January 7th, 2026. | ||
The final product was a medium sized, meat colored blob that would automatically attack nearby text using thin tendrils. Like the 3D physics simulations, Banksy could guide its movement by clicking where they wanted it to go, upon which the blob would rapidly glide to the desired location using a special animation. There was also a mode where the blob would slowly travel towards Banksy's cursor, with Banksy using the space bar being to toggle between the two types of locomotion. | |||
<gallery mode="packed" caption="High res stills"> | The blob had to be shrunk down from its planned size due to technical constraints.
