'''Art''' is the opposite of [[spam]]; content intended to make [[OWOT]] feel more chill and less spammed. It's often griefed, replaced, spammed or wiped, often by trolls and griefers.


It's hard to find at [[spawn]], but can be found more far away. However, there are times where art is seen at spawn, for example on {{owoturl|spawn_jan_29_2023|January 29 2023}}.

'''Art''' is the opposite of [[spam]]; content intended to make [[OWOT|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.

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

Art archives like {{owoturl|KKosty4ka/art|KKosty4ka's art archive}}, {{owoturl|fp#x:11,y:1|fp's art archive}} and {{owoturl|SpawnHistory/2023}}<sup>(im a member on this one)</sup> exist.
[[Archive Worlds|Art archives]] like {{owoturl|KKosty4ka/art|KKosty4ka's art archive}}, {{owoturl|fp#x:11,y:1|fp's art archive}} and {{owoturl|SpawnHistory/2023}} exist.
 
Art is also ruined by spam scripts or overwritten by [[Image Paster|image pasters]].
 
There are many types of text art like [[Symbols for Legacy Computing|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 [[Manhatingzone|Man Hating Zone]].<gallery mode="packed" heights="300" caption="Art by [[Meimei]]">

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

== 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|kkb's]] works.
 
The [[Manhatingzone|Man Hating Zone]] also contains an especially talented ANSI artist.[[File:Kkb-art1.png|thumb|By [[kkb]]|center]]<gallery mode="packed" heights="210" caption="By the [[Manhatingzone|MHZ]]">

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

== Brush scripts ==
{{main|Drawing scripts}}
 
Users like [[CCL]] and [[Poopman]] have developed scripts that allow users to draw pixel art using unicode.
 
[https://ourworldoftext.com/ms-paint /ms-paint] is a [[Unique worlds|world with a built-in script]] that emulates MS Paint within OWOT.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200" caption="">

== SLC art ==
{{main|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]], [[Placeholder|place_holdrr]] and [[Polonez]].
 
For an in depth SLC tutorial, see [https://ourworldoftext.com/slc-handbook-maybe /SLC-Handbook-Maybe].<gallery mode="packed">

== Link art ==
Art that uses URL and coordinate links to create green and blue text. Drawings like these are mostly obsolete in OWOT, but see some use in the monochrome [[Your World of Text]].
 
Link art briefly became popular during the [[2025 color ban]], which temporarily disabled text colors on the [[/|front page]] and forced users to come up with alternative methods of rendering color. Link art was one form of this, colored emojis were the other.<gallery mode="packed" widths="300" heights="200">

Art is also ruined by spam scripts or overwritten by [[image pasters]].
== Art on TextWall ==
{{main|TextWall}}
TextWall renders certain unicode/SLC symbols differently from OWOT, resulting in visible gaps between characters in ANSI/SLC art.


There are many types of text art like SLC Art, ANSI art and ASCII Art
Art from TextWall can be ported to OWOT using [https://2s4.me/private/owot-tw-convert.html OWOT-TW Conversion]. But a good portion of OWOT art aren't compatible with TextWall due to the latter canvas' lack of support for customizable cell colors.<gallery mode="packed" heights="150">
