Description My Submission to for week 41 - "Draw a pony game!"

Another theme where I had a few ideas, I wanted to do a Skyrim and a Full Throttle crossover with a character but, I didn't have time again damn school design projects. It's spring break this week too. *sigh*

This theme gave me an idea for a fan story where Discord challenges Celestia to a game of chess, the winner becomes the next ruler of Equestria. To make the story interesting I thought why not make the chess pieces in the story ponies (They probably wouldn't be statues so there would still be interaction). and instead of just chess. The six sided die is there because I am also thinking about expanding the story to other games. (Maybe something with Rainbow Dash in Zork or Adventure with Discord narrating? Xp). Anyway probably going to be a couple months before I get that idea off the ground school is almost over and I need to focus on that.

Anyway TL;DR

I tried focusing on shading with a bit of color for this one so I hope it came out OK. There are a few tangents in the picture, but I had so much of it done by the time I noticed I didn't feel like changing it. I also going to put a claw from Discord in the picture but I couldn't find a place where it would fit well.

Kudos to for the cutie mark vector.

How about Dungeons & Dragons with Discord as the Dungeon Master?

I probably would use unicorns as bishops, pegasai as knights and earth ponies as rooks.

Since there are 6 of those pieces you can easily use the mane6. Use Celestia and Luna as king and queen pieces respectively.
Use the royal guards as pawns.

That would make a pretty good set for the white pieces.


For the black pieces, probably the unstable mane 6 or antagonists (Trixie, Gilda, etc) for the special pieces. Use, Discord and Nightmare Moon as king and queen, and the night guard ponies as pawns.

Maybe in the future I'll try programming one but I need a bit more experience and free time. c'est la vie
