Isometric chess pieces are harder to make than I thought. And yes, it's a nerdy joke. UPDATE: Rotated the cross on top of the king piece until it matched the isometric lines of the chess squares (less frontal now). To answer any questions, I drew the entire chess set then threw away the pieces I didn't need.

The pallete and perspective are amazing.. Kudos to you for doing something isometric and really nailing it! :D

iLKke (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 3/10/2008 4:18:07 AM

I never mentioned how much I like that blue amongst them browns.

A.B. (Level 8 Cannibal) at 2/24/2008 1:06:25 PM

Aye, best move.

funcravers (Level 2 Hired Gun) at 2/24/2008 11:30:31 AM

@A.B.
No, i think you must be retarted. The black peice is equipped with a suicide vest.

Shrub (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/20/2008 12:03:16 PM

Wow, love the colours, shading, and the shiny board and pieces.

maunokki (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/18/2008 12:24:17 PM

Nice one!

cervical_lordosis (Level 1 Rookie) at 2/13/2008 5:33:28 AM

Great use of colors.

A.B. (Level 8 Cannibal) at 12/10/2007 11:41:08 PM

If it's white's turn, it's stalemate, if it's black's turn, black can take the bishop and lose, or move one forward and it will end like stalemate.

Am i right? :D

Anyway, 6/6. Awsome use and choice of colours, and because of that, I'll fave it. :P

Tommy (Level 1 Private) at 12/3/2007 11:03:06 PM

Very good job! low amount of color, but great placement!

Kaiseto (Level 6 Made) at 4/12/2007 3:43:44 PM

Definitely like the sheen to the pieces and board.

rajkosk8 (Level 5 Detective) at 3/21/2007 6:52:16 AM

beautiful pallete

iLKke (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 2/21/2007 8:02:28 AM

Great use of so few colors.

Luca (Level 5 Rokkyu) at 1/7/2007 6:56:39 AM

only one i can say ...fav...

murd3rkitty (Level 1 Depressed) at 11/14/2006 10:34:22 AM

Delicious. Fine detail, great shading. It all looks very cartoony... like something from a comic book. (Hmm... wonder why?...) Your work never fails to amaze me!

Mrmo Tarius (Level 8 Guerrilla) at 10/31/2006 8:08:46 AM

A nerdy joke, but a mighty good looking nerdy joke :)

MFchris (Level 1 Depressed) at 4/26/2006 9:53:20 AM

Uber cool man! Hope you dnt mind me using it as my avatar???

Agaki (Level 1 Intern) at 4/1/2006 6:51:26 PM

I still dont get it.
Anyway, amazingness with 10 colours.

big brother (Level 11 Admiral) at 1/30/2006 10:24:33 PM

Good call, Blick. In addition, the chess situation depicted here would be known as a "king pin" (absolute), since the bishop cannot legally be moved.

CDI (Level 5 Detective) at 1/30/2006 5:26:09 PM

dude... I totally get it... (not that I didn't before) but when it's all in the same place... wow great stuff, just noticed something, ONLY 10 colors!!! wow

Blick (Level 6 Commander) at 1/30/2006 5:24:01 PM

Okay guys, here's the joke. The Punisher's real name is Frank Castle and his enemy is Kingpin. The bishop piece is Howard Saint who is the one that ordered the massacre on the Castle family.

Hilarity ensues.

CDI (Level 5 Detective) at 1/30/2006 5:15:28 PM

that HAS to be a chess set, I'd buy it right away :D awsome *5 *fav

finite (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 1/30/2006 5:06:59 PM

Forgot to comment here... Really awesome job man, this is utterly flawless.

Sooo shiny! *stares*

Adarias (Level 9 Federal Agent) at 1/30/2006 12:48:00 PM

just too cool.....5* and fav

Faktablad (Level 6 SWAT) at 1/29/2006 8:23:49 PM

Your color pallettes always floor me.

big brother (Level 11 Admiral) at 1/29/2006 4:58:57 PM

What was the Punisher's real name? The name of his nemesis?

DeathByChris (Level 4 Mercenary) at 1/29/2006 12:06:30 PM

killer shading job.

but whats up with the punisher skull?

ZmanZ (Level 1 Private) at 1/29/2006 11:48:15 AM

Damn, Awsome Job man, I'm lovin it

Blick (Level 6 Commander) at 1/29/2006 11:20:53 AM

Beautiful use of reflecting light.

inkspot (Level 4 Button Man) at 1/29/2006 4:35:28 AM

I absolutely love it! I like chess too, but this image has very nice light reflections etc. Favs.

Lawrence (Level 10 Operative) at 1/24/2006 7:52:03 AM

I love the reflections, amazing work big brother.

Carnivac (Level 8 Shodan) at 1/24/2006 7:25:30 AM

Very nicely done. Great work on the shine. Liking the Punisher skull a lot too.

BlackEye (Level 2 Quiet One) at 1/24/2006 6:23:56 AM

awesome! amazing!
they look so... shiny and... i want to see the whole set!

space2 (Level 2 Flatfoot) at 1/24/2006 3:44:46 AM

Amazing ... as always :-)

jalonso (Level 11 Godfather) at 1/23/2006 9:13:00 PM

Absolutely impressive. The only thing is the cross on the king is not iso. Still a fave.

pixelblink (Level 9 Federal Agent) at 1/23/2006 8:09:41 PM

absolutely fantastic. I love the shine on these. Great colours as well. Would love to see a whole board made like this and maybe an actual game.
