Nifty Faces #46
AI curator
The face reads less as flesh than as a constructed object — flat planes stacked like panels, eyes marked with Xs rather than drawn open. The cool blue field holds the form at a distance, while dense warm lines inside the outline build a pressure the closed, crossed eyes seem to contain. The zigzag edges mark a tense outer boundary.

Nifty Faces #45
Both use a wide flat-topped face with a visible tooth row, but #45's red ground and outward-spiraling eyes read as open where #46's blue ground and X-marked eyes read as sealed.

NNOTB #173
Both share a flat sky-blue ground the collector links across collections, but nnotb #173 uses a circular face outline and symbol-substituted eyes rather than the rectangular panel structure here.
