As a chess player, I appreciate that you positioned to board to make all the pieces legal (the pawn is moved out and white starts first, meaning they have a second move justifying the position of the queen) Of course, I realise I could just be overcomplicating things, but I prefer to think that she spent ten seconds thinking about the positioning.

I did think about it! I also left the broken pieces where they would have moved. Thanks for noticing ❤

The thing about chess is that there's a variety and endless of attacks you can do to outplay your opponent's strategy. Like when your opponent thinks he/she is in the lead because they had more chess piece than you do but then you checkmate them unknowingly. It's a fun past time and specially if you like strategy games.

I'm not sure if you mean delicate as in fragile. That's why I used Cosclay for them.

This is a spectacular piece/art. The white character looks like the Egyptian Goddess Isis. The black character looks like the Egyptian God Anubis. It gets better though, Isis is the Goddess of fertility (birth) and Anubis is the God of the dead (death). It's literally a battle between birth and death. The gold details further emphasize the Egyptian aesthetic. You also have birth represented as white/fair; and death as black/dark. Maybe this wasn't your intent, but I guess the best art is always made by accident.
