Wonderful work. I love seeing them in good light and not in the dark. It's great they are playing chess. I love the wine predator is holding with all its shine and reflections. And the room with all the books is lovely.

Xenomorph:Β Mate in three moves, old bean.Β
Predator:Β I'll say, quite a pickle you've put me in, old chap.Β Quite a pickle.Β Reminds me of that time on Xerxes Prime, hunting the sandgorgons there.Β Quite the game that was...
Xenomorph:Β was that the one where you lost your left eye?
Predator:Β no, that was on Paracelsus, in the 501st.Β Β But that was quite the story, too.Β
Xenomorph:Β interesting, interesting.Β I believe I was on Paracelsus too. Β Β
Predator.Β Ah.Β Battle of Granite Tor?
Xenomorph:Β Fourth quadrant.Β A sunny day, that was.Β Difficult to tell in radar, but the air was warm.Β
Predator:Β The enemy's tail-tip came around while I wasn't looking.Β Let my guard down for just a second, I did.
Xenomorph:Β sometimes that's all it takes.Β One second's inattention.Β
Predator:Β Quite.Β I did succeed in taking the blighter's tail-tip before he could get away.Β I still have it there, in the display case.Β Just to the left of the mammoth tusk.Β
Xenomorph:Β As I recall, it took me three bloody weeks to regenerate the missing segments.Β
Predator:Β (chuckling) I thought that might have been you.Β An honorable fight that was.Β Quite a show. More brandy, sir?Β Your glass appears to have run dry.Β
Xenomorph: Why thank you, my friend.Β
Predator:Β ...and out of check.Β Mate in four.Β Your move, old chum. Β

Much more diplomatic and civilized than their battles from the "Alien vs Predator" movies...
I'm also wondering which one of them is the more cultured one, reading the plethora of books from that huge shelve.

I've never really been a much a chess player so I can't tell by looking who is winning here but regardless of that this looks fantastic

This is just the beginning of the game, as apparent by the first and only black peon piece getting moved forward by Alien, who "strikes first" so to speak.

Nice bro! Here's a comic:
WARNING: Uses f*ck and motherf*cker. I warned you.
Awesomer2715: What the f*ck?
Awesomer2715: Alien and Predator playing chess?
Scumbag mind:Β Ingage the Alien and Predator motherf*cker? Yes
Scumbag mind:Β Stupid use the "Flip the table" motherf*cker
Awesomer2715: Fine.
Out of nowhere: Awesomer2715 flips the table!
Out of nowhere: Alien and Predator die!
Awesomer2715: What the f*ck?
Awesomer2715: How the f*ck did they even die?
