More chess-related art.
I always thought the King was the most tragic chess piece.
The King is technically the only piece that needs to be captured to complete a game of chess. So in that sense, the King is the only piece destined to die. Movement-wise, the King is also just a souped-up Pawn that's been designated as "important", so I always imagined the King as someone very small, very fragile whose been suddenly thrust upon a pedestal, and terrified of his title.

Lovely piece Love

Thank you c:
I love chess, but I didn't have anyone to play it with growing up, so I would make up stories with the chess pieces to make playing a game against myself more interesting.

I see Nod Making up stories do make games more interesting! I've always played chess against my brother who is way better than me, so most of the time thinking up a stories never even crossed my mind XD.

I had his expression so clearly in my head, so I had to sketch it out fast. I'm glad his emotion seems to have translated well c:
