'''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}}.

=== Pixel Art ===

Users like [[CCL]] and [[Poopman]] have developed scripts that allow users to draw pixel art using unicodes and SLC characters.

Users like [[CCL]] and [[Poopman]] have developed scripts that allow users to draw pixel art using unicode.


Because of this, it can now be said that [[Our World of Pixels]] is truly obsolete.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

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.[[File:3dfp.jpeg|thumb|3D Fp text slc art using bgcolors|center]]

== 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">
