Author Description:
I did this image for the first time the contest was posted on PST....but for some reason I didn't get to post it....so I am very happy that I got a second chance!
I hope you like it!

I used some old chess pieces that I've found in the house as general reference!

Funny one. The pawns in front seem to float a bit, maybe because the chess board has a bit different perspective. What if you just use the original wooden floor (incl the reflection from the original pieces) for your entry, then the floating might be fixed. Good luck!

This is REALLY cool. The only thing I would nic pick would be the background. It takes away from the real looking chop.

excellent job with the figures but I have to wonder why you couldn't have done a better job with the background
