Description
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.

Your words mean a great deal too me.
I would also love to own my own chess set like this. I do not see how it would work out really, but I would lov to own one anyway.

This is like the tenth time I have heard / read kawaii, yet I still do not understand it. I believe it means something like awsome or cute in japanese.

That is one of the aspects where I got the idea, though most of it came from my conversation with a friend.

GibbyGibson In reply to Nithaltak [2005-12-01 16:18:52 +0000 UTC]
Thank you. I had trouble on the board when I first started. I made it too small, so all the pieces looked like they were cramped together. So I made a bigger board and arranged all the pieces accordingly.

Yay for chess!! If you animate it, you could just try animating it in the six-move stalemate. I'm not sure how it works, but you could put an entire game into just six moves!! That would be great.

GibbyGibson In reply to Kingda-Ka [2005-12-01 16:19:52 +0000 UTC]
I know of that move stalemate, but I never considered that for it would be too quick of a game for me. One of the things about chess is that it 'could' take a long time, like Monopoly.
Thank you for the kind words.

this is jsut plain eye catching, I have an idiea.................maybe if you know how or some one you know knows how, you could make thechess set functional, able to play......then......come closer....no no real close so no one can hear...................BAM you sell it to deviantart, and makes some money

GibbyGibson In reply to grendel-the-tyrant [2005-12-01 16:22:17 +0000 UTC]
I never thought of that. But I am not sure if I would want to part from it totally. While dA would own it, I would feel slightly alone. I feel that way whenever I sell any of my pieces (which has happened a few times in real life). Especally with that one flower picture.
I miss you flower picture!
I have thought of making an animation game of this, and then there was talk about working with someone to make it flash oriented too play, but I am not sure on the actual playing part yet. WE shall see.

I haven't played chess in a while, but if there was a set like this one, I'd probally buy it.
Great work though.

So would I. I also have not played in a while, do to no no one wanting to play anymore. But I still buy chess sets, if for anything for show in my house.

This is incredibly cool. Not an emote that will see much use maybe, but incredibly clever and incredibly well done.

I know it will not get used much, that is why I did not really add it to the emoticon gallery, it is in the pixel art section. That and a good friend directed me with some insightful information about it being there instead of in the emoticon gallery.
for the kind words.
