Here’s How I Think Chess Pieces Would Look If Each One Was A Person

ADVERTISEMENT

I am a Korean concept artist who goes by the pseudo-name “Soo.K”

Always intent on crafting new unique character designs, I decided to do a personification of chess pieces by giving each one of them a human character.

I tried to put emphasis on the head designs and characteristics of each chess game piece, as well as, their functions. My overall goal here was to combine the familiar look of the table game piece with my own interpretation.

Naturally, black and white were heavily used for these cool characters, as they are primary colors associated with the game of chess.

Thank you, and I hope you enjoy these character drawings!

Nice art, but please explain why all the men are fully armored up while most of the women are partially nude.

I was just thinking the same. For a change I would like to see ”sexy not at all helpful” armor on guys and fully armored badass women with no visible gigantic boobs.

This is very cool and original. The queen did give me FF vibes, though, but that's just me. ♥ Keep it up!

Yeah, the Rook looks like the Alexander Summon crossed with the Iron Giant enemy that always shows up towards the end of each game.
