fantastic...

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

great idea, great fantasy, bravo

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.

great job.. good luck

Lower the pawns to solve the perspective problem...

Coool : D.

very nice work! gl

nice

Good work!

Great job. Nice idea.

I not sure if you did the editing but it looks good to me and a nice take on the theme. GL!

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

great job

Congratulations for 3rd

Congrats for your third place, Cornelia!

congratulations...

congrats

congrats

Congrats

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.

great

Texture doesn't follow the different planes...

I dont like this new version. too much contrast. better the way it was.

good use of source.good job

Nice idea!!!

nice

Not Check Mate.. King takes Rook (and who ever moved the king into the corner should be beaten) Need a black queen in the scene to be check mate ... I'm JUST JOKING.. great chop and fun idea Good luck.. very dark mood

technically - to infer from visible area of board, it is not check-mate! just kidding - good luck!
edit: GolemAura dämn!

Omg! i puzzeled it out so nicely :S haven't played chess in a while xD I think ill adjust the black a bit, ill keep you posted

Edit: Altered the image slightly

good idea, good luck

You could add some shadow o some reflect

very nice

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

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

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.

good luck

author if u make some shadows it'll be more realistic

interesting idea good luck!

good job and good luck

Great ide. Some shadows would plant the pieces in the surface

good. add shadows

congrats

you did very well
