SQUAREDFACE
Circles are basic. I trap my characters in 1:1 squares.
Meet the art of a frustrated teenager that wanted to let out her anger on art, so she trapped innocent souls in 1:1 squares and sells them as NFTs on the black market. They are now squared and scared (:

THE LORE
Meet the art of a frustrated teenager that wanted to let out her anger on art, so she trapped innocent souls in 1:1 squares. They are now squared and scared (:
Circles are basic.
Every soul goes in a 1:1 square. No exceptions. The box is the point.
No AI. Just hand-cramps.
AI can't replicate the claw grip. Every line is drawn by hand on a free Android drawing app — no prompts, no bots, no shortcuts, no templates, no OC makers. No stylus either, and no fancy tablet: just a finger, a cheap phone screen, and a lot of manga energy. 100% from scratch.
Unique NFTs or nothing.
Each SquaredFace is a unique 1/1 NFT - one soul, one owner, never re-minted. No mass-generated drops, no clones, no re-runs. The same character will never be trapped twice. Except Charlie. The Second Victim got trapped five times - same blonde hair, blue eyes, gold nose ring, and smug dance-floor confidence. Five identical cells, five possible owners, one very pleased victim. Collect the face - or in Charlie's case, claim one of five (:
Proof of capture, on camera.
Every kidnapping is filmed. Time-lapse videos on YouTube show each piece coming to life line by agonizing line — from the first sketch to the final shadow.
I'm Hannahexa. I draw faces — mostly angry ones, sometimes sad, occasionally thriving in their captivity. Every SquaredFace starts with an empty canvas and a claw grip that should probably be illegal. No generative AI. No prompts. No templates, no OC makers. Just me, a free Android drawing app, and the slow realization that I've trapped 5 people in squares and they're all glaring at me now.
More souls are coming. The box has 30+ empty cells. They just don't know it yet (:
HANNAHEXA
THE WARDEN'S ORIGIN
I. The old country
Hannahexa was forged somewhere between the pine forests of Poland and the Atlantic fog of Portugal — two countries that disagree on the weather but agree entirely on ghosts.
In Poland she learned the essentials: that the woods are always watching, that every babcia has a strzyga story she'll tell you right before bed (usually about a restless soul that refused to stay where it was put), and that if you draw a circle around yourself the monsters can't get in. (Circles are basic, by the way. She upgraded.)
II. What the Wiedźmin taught her
She also learned to draw — Gacha characters first, then anime faces, then, eventually, her own. The Witcher taught her that every monster deserves a good portrait before you trap it. Jaskier taught her that even prisoners need a song. The Szczury — that feral teenage gang Ciri ran with through the pages of Sapkowski — taught her that a square full of misfits is a perfectly reasonable life choice.
And Ciri herself taught her the most important lesson of all: the clever one always escapes. Which is exactly why Alex is currently banging on the glass.
III. The box
Then Portugal happened. Sun. Pastéis de nata. A whole ocean that, disappointingly, contains zero drowners. But Portugal has its own witches — they call them bruxa. (Pronounced "brusza," which to a Polish ear sounds suspiciously like home. A witch by any other name would trap as sweet.) The local avó has bedtime stories of her own, and the bruxa in them slips down chimneys and steals children who won't behave. Between the strzyga and the bruxa, Hannahexa had two countries' worth of soul-thieves taking notes.
The fog lifted. The monsters thinned out. But the hand-cramps stayed — and a frustrated teenager without local monsters will, eventually, manufacture her own.
So she built a box. 1:1. Sharp corners. No exits (Alex is still trying). She started trapping souls in there — one square at a time, drawn line by agonizing line on a free Android app, from scratch. No AI. No prompts. No templates. No OC makers. No mercy. The souls glare. The souls plot. Emo thrives in captivity. Luiza paces. The Warden keeps drawing — somewhere between a Wiedźmin who traded the silver sword for a bare fingertip and a kid with a claw grip and too much imagination. (Both are correct. No stylus was ever involved.)
The box has 30+ empty cells. The Warden is patient. The souls don't know it yet — but they're already halfway in. (:)
Before the squares, there were the Gacha animations — 340+ videos of chibi chaos, memes, and tiny movies, watched over 5.3 million times. SquaredFace is what happens when that same artist trades the Gacha studio for an empty canvas on a free Android drawing app.
