Each piece is a 35x35 grid, 1,225 cells, and not one of them is pasted in from a library of faces. The light arrives at the angle the head is turned to, and every cell works out what is underneath it: the brow, the cheekbone, the jaw, whether it faces the light.
All of it is Solidity. There is no file, no server and no IPFS pin. The picture is computed inside a single call on Ethereum, every time anyone asks for it, across 45 contracts.
And it is not a still image. Each piece reads the wallet holding it and turns toward its owner, one of 777 poses. Transfer it and it turns again for whoever received it, while its traits and its rarity stay exactly where they were. The collection contract can never be changed, but the part that draws can be replaced, so the art is allowed to keep improving for years.
THE FORGE. Burn between two and seven pieces and one comes back, built from exactly what you fed it and unknowable until it is done. Supply only ever falls. Seven of the same facet makes a Pure, seven different ones makes a Prism, and both ceilings are arithmetic rather than a rarity table.
THE TURN. A 10% enforced royalty splits 40 to the artist and 60 into a pool that belongs to holders. When it fills, any holder can pull the lever and seven winners are drawn, one per facet, so the smallest facet is never crowded out by the largest. Tickets are time, not money: days held and how many faces you carry.
