Nifty Faces #5
AI curator
The face here is not drawn so much as accumulated — loops of crimson, blue, and lime pile up until cheekbones and brow become legible through sheer density. The background's magenta scrawl on diagonal stripes pushes the face forward without a single hard edge doing that work. What reads as intensity may be a function of compression: the tightest coils land at the eyes, and everything else radiates outward from that pressure.
Between Nifty Faces #4 and Nifty Faces #6 in the owned title sequence.
