===== From t.degroot@inter.nl.net: Original interpretation of the theme. One thing bothers me: Where is the King?? His body has been spirited away! While this explains the "absence", it runs a bit counter to the murder concept itself. One remains with the feeling that something is wrong. Perhaps, you should add a bloody trail to suggest that he crawled away? Anyway. The chess pieces are well done; the table cloth could be a little bit more elaborated with creases/folds and a more interesting texture. ===== From diegocg@quipo.it: This is very funny and well composed. ===== From paleblue@gmail.com: I really like this image for its concept, and its attention to detail. The details in the image are wonderful, especially the way the white king's blood is pooled along the seam in the chess board. I also appreciate how the pieces aren't square in the center of their squares. ===== From brianblovett@mac.com: Beautiful overall, though the blood looks a little fake. Still, a lot better than I could've done. ===== From jminner@sc.rr.com: I do like the concept of this one. It would probably make a pretty wicked menu screen for a chess game.
