Full block pasters used to be the primary form of image pasters in OWOT, but have grown out of fashion ever since November 2024, when a variety of higher resolution methods were made possible by the introduction of [[Tile format#Color & Background color|customizable cell colors]] to the mainpage.

=== Other methods ===
=== More unorthodox characters ===
Many unicode sets contain characters with varying amounts of negative space, allowing them to create different shades for image pastes. Most of these are incredibly fuzzy and stylistic.[[File:Banksy card paste.png|center|thumb|Using card unicode, by [[Banksy]]]]

The script was first seen on December 19th, 2025, where it was paste [https://umamusume.fandom.com/wiki/Gold_Ship Gold Ship] art and Bansky murals. It has the capacity for color, but was rendered monochrome on the frontpage due to a [[The Great Color Ban of 2025/2026|temporary color ban]] that was announced on the same day.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

=== Banksy's card paster ===
Created using the playing cards unicode set. The paster was first seen publicly on January 10th, 2026, but Banksy had been working on it for a few days before hand, as evident by the card unicode lying around their worlds.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="From  [https://ourworldoftext.com/Banksy/b /Banksy/b]">
