The idea for this picture came from the Chesstown project I am doodling on every now and then. / It was first sketched with pencil and paper,and then scanned. / I played around with this design for days before I was satisfied. / And I didn’t really get there before I decided to use the sketch of an old ship I did long time ago. The sketch was applied without further refinement (read: inking ore /and color), so it’s just the old sketch really. / I used both Photoshop and Illustrator to get what I was after here on this one. / The motive has been for sale as posters and cards for a while, and now I introduce the tee. Go wild…....POS

The White King / Artist: Scott Robinson / Biography: Danny The White King’s Story The king had surrounded himself all his long life with men of power, spirituality and ambition building a Kingdom over the millennia to rival all those that surrounded his borders. / With the help of a fallen Angel whom he had tricked into servitude he has built and commissioned the University of the Gear, to create new and wonderful machinery and search the murky waters of mysticism to create weapons and soldiers. His beautiful and young wife picked for her ability to survive rather than love, had proved to be a winning hand and it was she who ran the royal house with an iron fist. With this choice, the King had opened up a Pandora’s box of intrigue and ambition that would play in the background without his knowledge. The King also knew his limitations, all his life he had built up this vast society that placed him at its apex, but in reality he was a hollow man with no real talent. He was not a great general; even a soldier and his faith, even in old age could be considered heretical. For the truth hid a different story. The King himself was a fallen Angel expelled from Heaven because of pride. The white king had never learnt his lesson and over thousands of years had hidden the truth of his origins and taken over the whole kingdom. But as the bitterness and years ate away at him his thoughts had moved onto more perverse spiritual matters. The King had been building up an unstoppable army for centuries and knew how to apply for challenging rights to the battlefield of the Ancients. By nominating for the Cosmic battlefield he could prove once and for all that his God had made a mistake and would welcome him back through the gates of Heaven. / All he could do was watch and wait for the game to play out. / That game was his life and that of all those he ruled.

The Black King’s Knight / Artist: Simon Sherry / Biography: Danny Excellence in military studies and on the battlefield gives the ordinary soldier a chance to become a Knight for the King the Black Spear. Generations ago it was discovered “breeding and class” had no place in determining one’s fitness to lead on the battle field. / Those chosen as the best are sent to be “improved” by the Shaman.

The White King’s Bishop / Artist: Quigonjim / Biography: Danny Artist Interview: Quigonjim Though it is rare for angels to be expelled from Heaven, when they do they are more often than not found in the employ of ambitious Kings and Overlords. / Extremely wise and powerful these fallen angels are also unpredictable. / Ignorant royalty often think that they will do their bidding no matter how evil the deed, but an Angel is the model of God’s will and even though they have been expelled from heaven doesn’t mean it was evil traits that led to that expulsion. / An Angel will never reveal its reason for expulsion and will often cling to a firm belief they will be forgiven and return some day to Heaven. / This often means they take on higher stations of the church as a secondary role to their employment. / Angels may have power, speed and knowledge but they are also mortal to a degree and carry great guilt. / They will not pass over bodies in their path but are great commanders in battle. / Angels will sacrifice themselves when needed and considering it to be for the greater good and ironically a way to return to heaven. The King who was a higher order of Angel than the Bishop seized on the opportunity that expulsion presented and tricked the Angel into his service, knowing how to manipulate the powerful figure but never revealing his own true origins to it.

The Black King-Bishop’s Pawn / Artist: Simon Sherry / Biography: Danny The right side of the Shaman’s brain, the masculine, is represented by things more natural and organic. In any effective army, the most efficient use of resources will always provide a distinct advantage. Knowing this, the King’s Shaman often recycles a variety of waste products including Bullrock droppings and the remains of the vanquished, and sends them back into the battlefield in a multitude of forms. While on the whole less effective on the battlefield due to their lumbering pace and ramshackle physiology, these muck golems serve a purpose both as expendable cannon fodder and biological weapon. More often than not, those who have met their end while fighting the Shaman’s foot-soldiers are smothered and engulfed as opposed to being beaten in combat. :

The White King’s Knight / Artist: No Frills Art / Biography: Danny The Knight’s Tale Nothing matters more than experience in battle. This the White King knows only so well. Once again drawing heavily on the University’s archives and powers, fallen Generals are recalled over and over again to relive battles that they have been participants in. The White Army Generals have long fought or fought under past greats and every career soldier dreams of being immortalized forever- literally. / Though the King’s knights are products of the Supernatural Wing of the University, the King likes to keep them close at hand . This belies his faith in the both Queen and the outcome of some of the experiments. / It also gives him a way to keep his history masked by controlling any Generals who have been reanimated, and who may have loose tongues.

I have always admired the work of Escher. I have done a design based on relativity before. I always imagined what a game of chess would look like on this ‘board’ so here it is. See if you can find the check.
