Chess?

I think your queen design and what it says about your chess was really interesting. The sort of manic look you gave her shows a more aggressive and violent use of the queen, which is common in rapid formats. In longer games, people are genuinely very cautious about their queens, because a piece being valueable also makes it more vulnerable. Because of this, I had the concept of the queen being a lot more of a cautious, shrouded figure that still towered over the board. A sleeping giant that rarely moves but you always have to watch out for

Fun Fact: In the original version of Chess, the pieces at the four corners of the board were chariots. The Persian word for chariot is "Ruhk". Henceforth, the pieces that replaced the chariots were (and still are) called "Rooks". Edit: Another Fun Fact: Legend says that the inventor of chess was given the opportunity to ask for a reward. He asked for one grain of wheat on the first square of a chessboard, two grains on the next square, 4 grains on the next square, 8 grains, 16 grains, etc. up to the last square. The total amount of wheat would be 1645 times more than earth’s wheat yield in 2014!

I absolutely adore these designs; the detail and all are just so well thought out! Being a chess player, the Knight has always been been my favourite as it’s often thought down upon, despite it being the *only* piece of which has a move that the Queen cannot mimic. I love how you represented all three so well, with the innocence & cruelty of the pawn clashing together so well!

I love the designs! Specifically the queen. I love her sly smile and the way you portrayed how you’re never truly safe from her and the moment you turn away she’ll get you! She’s also got secondary sleeves that look like a knights!

This is one of my favorites from you! I love how you characterized each piece based on their movements. One interesting note about the knight is that they mainly exist to take out the queen, because all other peices can only move within the queen's star pattern. I think that creates an interesting dynamic that implies the knight is somewhat of an assassin, and I love that you picked up on that and gave him a stealthier design rather than tank armor like a medieval knight. Please make the rest!!!

The queen actually reminds me of a Gooseworx character; the one eye, the angularity, that crazed teeth that some of their characters have. It’s definitely a different feel from your usual style!

SO EXCITED THIS LOOKS SO COOL! I’ve been wanting you to do this for so long and I’m already really excited

The Knight is easily my favorite of the three and I think Lance would be the perfect name for him:)

You say that you felt that the knight is sneaky. Missed opportunity to give him a moon and night type of symbol. Not only for the pun(knight/night) but the fact that it really is THE trickster piece that sneaks up on you at night.

Favorite thing I learned in school while they tough us chess was “The Queen doesn’t envy anyone except the knight cause he can jump over other pieces” which just feels like such character drama for describing chess

I'm so happy to see Lavander's new upload!

Thank you for doing my video idea! I love the designs! Great job 👏

Really interesting new series!! I would recommend researching about the names their named after as well, like how for the bishop you can theorize they only move sideways because they are religious and supposed to remain politically "neutral", so when they do interfere they can only do so from the sidelines. This is why I really liked your design of the pawn, pawns are generally of the lower ranks of society, usually used as nothing more than replaceable objects, which I think was carried over really well in the design. Her short and almost scrawny body type, her skewed expression that shows her cunningness and determination to live, etc. (My own interpretation) I think it would be pretty ironic if her name was Angel or Angie to contrast her probably messed up version of the world. In my mind, she's like a kid that grew up on the streets with no one to care for her. She had to learn how to fight for herself, how to con and manipulate others to get out of trouble. A fast learner, but still naive in the ways of the world.

As a chess player myself, I was wondering whether I should suggest turning chess pieces into characters, so I'm glad that you did it anyway. I like that you are also implementing the kind of personality that each piece could have. Of course I'd love to see the rest of the pieces.

Please... PLEASE do the same with the MAJOR ARCANA of the TAROT CARDS! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ This would be so awesome!

i used to professionally play chess in middle school, won a lot of tournaments and such, and i gotta say i have thoughts about every single piece here haha. you really nailed the sacrificing pawns angle, when i first started chess i didnt care that my pawns were being taken just to advance my attack more, but as i got better i realised pawns make the foundation of any chess game. theyre the structure and the pillars which you have to think around. the knights are the scouts, the ones you use to advance your position and prepare. my favorites were the bishops, a man i played against (he was in uni and i was still a kid haha) told me i used them expertly. they are about control. crowd control, in game terms. they are basically snipers and their synergy with pawns is extremely important. theyre like pawn+. and usually regarded as more valuable than knights in most situations (tho it depends on the game, and thats why they are the same number value). the rooks are protectors, they have your back. they are a line of defense especially when all your pieces are out of the way and your king is alone. they really shine in the endgame, when most pieces are exchanged. they have a hidden gem sort of quality, and can be especially destructive in pawn+rook endgames. the queen is the world ender, when she comes over you know the attack is the real deal. and when they are exchanged you have changed the entire game's trajectory, because you are in the endgame now. theyre secretly controlling how the game proceeds. so yeah! i think your designs work really well and would love to see the rest

You are always so creative!!!

Wow these designs are so cool I just love them, my favorite is the Queen because she looks so cool with her crowns and the Knight is also amazing with is cape/shoulder armor. 💅👌

As a chess and art fan, I love your interpretation.

LavenderTowne just proved that Bowl cuts can look good-

I would've added aspects of the pawn into the queen to refer to how a pawn can promote. Or add details of the queen and knight (the only pieces a pawn should be promoted to) onto the pawn. Also always love the work and there just small suggestions. I always forget to mention the parts a like because usually I like most of the design

Would love to see a part two, and maybe at the end, you can take transparent background versions of each character and line them up and duplicate them to imitate their spots on a chess board at the start!

I was always told as a child, that pawns have a big heavy shield in front of them, and that was why they could not attack in front of them, but it is up to interpretation.

I think Nathan suits the knight (get it. Neigh-than. Shamelessly inspired from Monster High). Pawni sounds cute but maybe to on the nose for the pawn. I came up with Lucinare for the Queen. It sounds both dangerous and regal. I was also wondering: have you ever done a series of turning candy bars into cute girls?

I have some name suggestions: Queen: Victoria. Pawn: Holly. Knight: Lancer. Brilliant art btw!
