Wow.

The imposing figures of the other pieces, shrouded by cloud, bearing down on the lonely pawn, invoke emotions deep inside of me.

But mostly its just awesome. One of the best, most dynamic pieces of traditional work I've ever seen!

you rock. I love the colors, and this is pastel!? Amazing! Pastels in my opinion can be very difficult to work with, and you mastered it beautifully.

Very nicely captured the mood! However I do think that the depth would be more prominent if there would be less white lines between the blocks, around the pion's head works, but it feels to me as if I'm seeing paper I shouldnlt in this pieces, aspecially as you did such a nice job on the cloudy effects and the blurry background makeing it feel faraway.
Keep em coming! and congrats ont he mods choice!

one of the coolest things is that the pawn can't escape: he'll just fall off the board forever...

you ask about cross on top of the figure?

it could mean that this is king, but you can interpretate it in any way you want...

BlockJuice [2008-11-14 14:40:17 +0000 UTC]

How come the "evil" opponent (that's the way I look at it) is going to be white, and you're black?
White would better show a feeling of being unsure, feeling unconfident against someone a lot better than black would.
Maybe he feels like he can do this...

Sometimes we cant be sure is black is black, white is white...
Sometimes we cant say what is good and what is evil and we cannot be sure what will came from this unknown area named future...

Niesamowity...obraz hmmm, nie wiem czy widzę to co trzeba... ale...te figury kojarzą mi się z ludźmi, którzy są 'wyżej' niż ty, którym jest samotny pionek. Figury zasłania chmura, czyli że są nieosiągalne...a słońce które się przez nią próbuje przebić jest nadzieją. W dodatku szachownica wygląda jakby z czerwonych pól spływała krew.... wrażenie niesamowite. Fantastyczny obraz

only thing is I can only make out the king(cross) in the mist and barely make out the rook in the corner, other than that it's an awesome piece.
