Good luck on this author (Do you think some burning on the super white pieces may add to their depth? They are giving off a bit of a flat feel at the moment, but that might have been your goal)... (The clock timers look a bit stretched horizontal in my eyes as well) but in the surreal that is perfectly fine. once again.. GOOD LUCK

author says:

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.

I like this alot. Well done.

This is a nice image. I would like it more if it didn't have the corner lines of each diamond showing depth. Right now, the chess pieces are floating. If you remove the lines and give the chess pieces a set down shadow it will really help.

EDIT: I was liking the less saturated previous version more, but I DO like the edits to those lines mentioned above. Your set shadows are currently wrapping too far around bottom of pieces. Cut them off where the piece width ends softly.

You're not going anywhere!

P.S.: My first try at an image like this, not completely satisfied, but hey PST is back :)

P.P.S. I suck at shadows...

You could add some shadow o some reflect

avatar chakra1985

very nice

avatar lchappell
lchappell says:

looks nice i have to agree with DML, some shadows and reflections would set thi off

avatar OliviasArts

nice neat work on this image, you cleaned up the horse rather well too goodluck.

avatar Ory
Ory says:

The perspectives are off, it does not look right, the squares at the back are too long, it seems you did this to show all of the king but it would look better if it were realistic. The pieces also loook like they are floating, try and add some shadows Nice concept tho.
