Art

From Our World of Text Wiki

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.

Naive art on spawn

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.

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: ´

Pixel Art

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