Art

Naive art on spawn

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 January 29 2023.

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

Art archives like KKosty4ka's art archive, fp's art archive and /SpawnHistory/2023^{(im a member on this one)} exist.

Art is also ruined by spam scripts or overwritten by image pasters.

There are many types of text art like 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.

Tutorial

Once you get the hang of it, it is possible to replicate line art using text characters.

To adjust steepness of horizontal lines:

`. `-_ `-.._ `*-..__ etc.

Shortest to Tallest: _,.-~=+<*"`

To adjust steepness of vertical lines:

:     :     :
:     :     :
:     L     '
 :     :     :
 :     q     '
  :     :     q
   \     \     \

   :     :     :
   :     :     :
   :     J     '
  :     :     :
  :     y     '
 :     :     y
/     /     /

To Shade:

III;;;;;:::::.'.'.'`.`.`.```
IIIIII;;;;;;:::::.'.'.'`.`.`.````
HHHHIIII;;;;;::::::.'.'.'.`.`.`.````
IIIIII;;;;;;:::::.'.'.'`.`.`.`````
III;;;;;:::::.'.'.'`.`.`.```

Darkest: W V H 8 @ #

Second Darkest: I 6 9

Third Darkest: ;;;;;

Second Lightest: :::::: .'.'.

Lightest: .`.`.`. ````` .....

*You can also space out characters to make them lighter.
*Any character can be used for shading, not just the ones
listed above.

Helpful Unicodes:

Overscore: ¯

Accent Symbol: ´ 

45 Degree Line: ⟋ ⟍

Colored ASCII Art

Colored art by 9029

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.

ANSI/PETSCII Art

Art by Kkb

Art created using unicodes.

PETSCII art can be hybridized with regular ASCII art to great effect, as seen in many of Kkb's works.

The Manhatingzone also contains an especially talented PETSCII artist.

Tutorial

PETSCII 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 unicodes and SLC characters.

Because of this, it can now be said that Our World of Pixels is truly obsolete.

SLC Art

Slc art on /main

*See 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.
