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}}.

== Traditional 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]]">

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}}


== 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]].

== 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 on TextWall ==
{{main|TextWall}}
TextWall renders certain unicode/SLC symbols differently from OWOT, resulting in visible gaps between characters in ANSI/SLC 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">
