    I like how the Pawn and Queen both have two weapons and red eyes. It’s a good connotation to the fact that most pawns become queens if they make it across the board.

    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

    The pawn is canonically my baby- I love her sm, and we should call her polly. I like the idea of choosing a really innocent sounding, very girly name for her beacause it makes her seem more like a child being used and thrown into the battle field just to be a sacrifice, than a highly trained solider that wants to be there.

    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    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

    The pawns expression looks kind of sad. Almost like she knows shes going to probably die.

    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!

    Hey!! Here's some more video ideas for you :)
    - If different paranormal entities were humans
    - If famous scandals were people
    - If different social medias were people
    - If different subcultures were monsters (could be stuff like emo, scene, punk, ect.)
    - If more dangerous drugs/medications were monsters/people
    - The 6 wonders of the world as people/monsters

    I have seen metaphor on Anne Boleyn and Katherine of Aragon’s story, where on board stands king and queen pieces, but then shows paw and stands on queen’s place, becoming new Queen. MMM, METAPHOR! Their daughters loved each other, even if one was psychotic and second was traumatized.

    Love the vids! Name suggestions! (Plus a video suggestion d:)
    Pawn: Juliette, (meaning youth) or Marcilena (meaning warrior)
    Knight - Kane, (meant warrior) or Lace (for obvious reasons)
    Queen - Athena, (for the Greek goddess of battle strategies, craftsmanship ad elegance)
    And for the suggestion, how about a video- making gems/ores into humans? Thank you and have a good one!

    even though i don’t play chess , the pawn looks the cutest and she’s my favorite so far!

    Characters made from chess peices have always intrigued me and this was an excellent take on them! This might be my favorite pawn character for sure as it incorporates their rather sad nature into play.
    My favorite piece has alway been the rook! Both gameplay wise but also the idea of this entire living castle tower moving in massive straight lights intrigued me! I've tried making it into this sort of moving tower tank with canons on all sides, as well as doodle it as this massive bird lugging around a tower to drop upon it's enemies as I believe the Rooks name was inspired by the mythical bird creature known as the roc. Bishops will be equally interesting to see, the peices I have at home always make them look like they're frowning!

    I'd really love to see the others! Your designs are so well-thought out and creative. They really represent the character well. I feel like most people would design the knight to be angry and strong, and it's really amazing how you thought deeper than that.

    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
