Ink Facets

Lumen & Logic

A hand-drawn crystalline shard cluster. A bounding rectangle is recursively split by random chords into a tessellation of convex facets — larger facets are picked to split more often, giving a natural mix of big and small shards — then border facets are culled by a wavy radial mask so the mass reads as a ragged blob with a few protruding spikes. Each shard is engraved with fine parallel hatch lines whose colour sweeps from a cool blue base toward a brighter cyan or magenta flare, producing an iridescent gem facet, and outlined in dark ink. Renders deterministically from a seed and defaults to the Portrait canvas.
