Description This one took some time to make, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I think that I will take the next few days off from making stuff too recollect my mind and rest up.

Anyway, I got this idea after a small conversation with a friend about statues. We were talking about statues, and for some reason, my friend said that statues (if they are on a piller) remind him of chess pieces. I am not sure why, but that sparked my interest into attepting this piece. Of course, I had no idea it would take this long either. It is not animated, but if I want too, I can animate it for I fixed it so that I could, at some other point in time; maybe.

I have and done. All that is left is animating it, if I get to that step.

Thank you for the nice words. They mean a great deal too me.

Ah, this is amazing, I would change the colour of the little 3d part of the chess board, it's a little too dark right now. Otherwise, beautiful, well done!

very cool! only i was expecting an animation... is this layered?! if it is you should animate it! or i can

๐Ÿ‘: 0 โฉ: 1

GibbyGibson In reply to PascalPixel [2005-12-01 15:59:47 +0000 UTC]

It is layered. I will be animating it later when I have the time too do something of that sort.

On a side note, I came across your page through the random deviant thing and I was impressed. I love vector art, though I am new at it.

ooo DA style chess eh?

if you could make it a playable game it would be popular on DA

GibbyGibson In reply to Rubycored [2005-12-01 16:01:50 +0000 UTC]

dA chess? Little Jarks as the King, Phae as the queen, then staff members play the other pieces, then us lowly ='s or *'s or ~'s be the pawns.

I have pondered on that, but I do not see how it can be done, from my experience in animation. I know that someone who does flash "might" be able to do that, but I am unsure on that myself. I am not that experienced in flash.

Rubycored In reply to GibbyGibson [2005-12-01 17:56:45 +0000 UTC]

well you can commission someone to do it

BTW, i have composed a poetry based on chess, but i could not decide on a good preview, would it be ok if i can use yours by any chance? For a DA styled preview might look good

At this current time they are not animated, but I am working on one that is. I cannot give a time when it will be done though.

Many congratulations. I recognize your kindess and the coolness in the mention from =Dareams . This is adorable, and you have an amazing gallery. It does show you put a lot of time into it. Not to mention the time it would take you to animate it. I also love your journal header and your community avatar. I applaud you.

=Dareams is a good friend to have. I may not talk too him much, but we do get along when we do.

for the nice words. I really appreciate that greatly. It means a great deal.

great job man! The circle pawns are really cute and well done. it may be a standard pattern for them, but I wouldn't suggest changing it! That's my advanced critique....^._-.

GibbyGibson In reply to arwenpandora [2005-12-01 16:10:58 +0000 UTC]

It is not animated at this time, it is simply just a stationary chess set. The animation part will be coming later, and probebly as a different deviation.
