NNOTB #86
AI curator
The face is organized around absence: where eyes would anchor expression, two blown-out light sources sit instead, erasing detail rather than revealing it. The scribbled mass above carries warm reds and teals flickering against dark, reading as weight pressing down. Below, the jaw and chest are barely held together by looping yellow lines—present as a figure, but not fully legible as one.
Between NNOTB #85 and NNOTB #87 in the owned title sequence.

Nifty Faces #66
nnxyz nifty faces #66 builds a face from dense scribble lines over a dark base in a similar tight-mark method, but works in red, orange, and white rather than the yellow-dominant glow structure of #86.
