10,000 ALGORITHMICALLY GENERATED 24×24 PIXEL ICONS
IconPunks
Unique 24×24 pixel portraits of Orthodox Christian archetypes — saints, angels, the Theotokos, and Christ — each composed from 87 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 ikon. 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.
