'''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}}.

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 Art ==
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.


[[9029]] is a notable user who makes ASCII art using colored text.[[File:Stargazing.png|thumb|244x244px|Colored art by [[lime.owot]]|center]]

== 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|Art by [[kkb]]|center]]<gallery mode="packed" heights="210" caption="ANSI art by the [[Manhatingzone|MHZ]]">

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.
[https://ourworldoftext.com/ms-paint /ms-paint] is a [[Unique worlds|world with a built-in script]] that emulates MS Paint within OWOT.

=== Imitation Pixel Art ===
== SLC art ==
Users like [[CCL]] and [[Poopman]] have developed scripts that allow users to draw pixel art using unicodes and SLC characters.
{{main|Symbols for Legacy Computing}}
[[File:Ccl cyberpunk.png|center|thumb|OWOT Pixel Art by [[CCL]]]]


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


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

[[File:3dfp.jpeg|thumb|3D Fp text slc art using bgcolors|center]]
SLC artists include [[JRT]], [[AndreiXYZ]], [[jan soweli Asike]], [[Placeholder|place_holdrr]] and [[Polonez]].
