10,000 ALGORITHMICALLY GENERATED PIXEL ICONS

ORTHODOX ICONS · 24×24 · ALGORITHMIC HAGIOGRAPHY

Each icon is deterministically generated from its ID — 93 canon-derived attributes across 5 archetypes. No two are the same.

IconPunks

Unique 24×24 pixel portraits of Orthodox Christian archetypes — Saints, Angels, the Theotokos, and Christ — each composed from 93 distinct attributes.

IconPunks is a generative art system that applies the CryptoPunks compositional method — seed-deterministic attribute layering at 24×24 pixel resolution — to the visual vocabulary of Eastern Orthodox Christian iconography.

The Holy Typology

The celestial hierarchy is the rarity curve. Male Saints 6,039 · Female Saints 3,840 · Angels 88 · Theotokos 24 · Christ Pantokrator 9 — the holier the figure, the rarer the icon. Halos, vestments, headwear and held objects follow the Byzantine iconographic canon: cruciform halos belong to Christ alone, the starred maphorion to the Theotokos alone, wings to angels alone.
