Duhduh Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 Very cool. Is that a bishop giving a eulogy? Very clever. "Meat is the only thing you need beside beer!

Bill Heins Posted August 31, 2004 Author Share Posted August 31, 2004 Yup, going to create a "world populated with chess pieces in the midst of a civil war" sort of thing Gonna put trees in, rocks,etc. but the landscape will be chessboards.

Base Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 What gave you the idea for that? Kind of reminds me of the old Battle Chess computer game (straight-forward chess but the pieces had little animated fights when they were taken). Very cool picture and idea tho! Hope you are going to post more as you do them?

Bill Heins Posted September 1, 2004 Author Share Posted September 1, 2004 Used to be a big chessplayer way, way back...think fire had just come out then The idea was to use the chessboard and pieces as an allegory on how in human history there usually appears two opposing viewpoints that lead to tension and eventually war. The point is that no matter what your color, religion, etc. we are all the same when you get right down to it...the only difference is how we go about attaining our similar goals Darkon the Incandescent http://www.billheins.com/ Hail Vibrania!
