I like how the Pawn and Queen both have two weapons and red eyes. It’s a good connotation to the fact that most pawns become queens if they make it across the board.

I think your queen design and what it says about your chess was really interesting. The sort of manic look you gave her shows a more aggressive and violent use of the queen, which is common in rapid formats. In longer games, people are genuinely very cautious about their queens, because a piece being valueable also makes it more vulnerable. Because of this, I had the concept of the queen being a lot more of a cautious, shrouded figure that still towered over the board. A sleeping giant that rarely moves but you always have to watch out for

Fun Fact: In the original version of Chess, the pieces at the four corners of the board were chariots. The Persian word for chariot is "Ruhk". Henceforth, the pieces that replaced the chariots were (and still are) called "Rooks". Edit: Another Fun Fact: Legend says that the inventor of chess was given the opportunity to ask for a reward. He asked for one grain of wheat on the first square of a chessboard, two grains on the next square, 4 grains on the next square, 8 grains, 16 grains, etc. up to the last square. The total amount of wheat would be 1645 times more than earth’s wheat yield in 2014!

The pawn is canonically my baby- I love her sm, and we should call her polly. I like the idea of choosing a really innocent sounding, very girly name for her beacause it makes her seem more like a child being used and thrown into the battle field just to be a sacrifice, than a highly trained solider that wants to be there.

Being a chess player, the Knight has always been been my favourite as it’s often thought down upon, despite it being the *only* piece of which has a move that the Queen cannot mimic. I love how you represented all three so well, with the innocence & cruelty of the pawn clashing together so well!

This is one of my favorites from you! I love how you characterized each piece based on their movements. One interesting note about the knight is that they mainly exist to take out the queen, because all other peices can only move within the queen's star pattern. I think that creates an interesting dynamic that implies the knight is somewhat of an assassin, and I love that you picked up on that and gave him a stealthier design rather than tank armor like a medieval knight. Please make the rest!!!

The queen looks absolutely terrifying! But in a cool way. Like if I was a human chess piece, and I saw her on the other end of the board.... I would just make a run for it lol.

I haven't included all the pieces, but it's a start.

Really interesting new series!! I would recommend researching about the names their named after as well, like how for the bishop you can theorize they only move sideways because they are religious and supposed to remain politically "neutral", so when they do interfere they can only do so from the sidelines. This is why I really liked your design of the pawn, pawns are generally of the lower ranks of society, usually used as nothing more than replaceable objects, which I think was carried over really well in the design. Her short and almost scrawny body type, her skewed expression that shows her cunningness and determination to live, etc. (My own interpretation) I think it would be pretty ironic if her name was Angel or Angie to contrast her probably messed up version of the world. In my mind, she's like a kid that grew up on the streets with no one to care for her. She had to learn how to fight for herself, how to con and manipulate others to get out of trouble. A fast learner, but still naive in the ways of the world.

i used to professionally play chess in middle school, won a lot of tournaments and such, and i gotta say i have thoughts about every single piece here haha. you really nailed the sacrificing pawns angle, when i first started chess i didnt care that my pawns were being taken just to advance my attack more, but as i got better i realised pawns make the foundation of any chess game. theyre the structure and the pillars which you have to think around. the knights are the scouts, the ones you use to advance your position and prepare. my favorites were the bishops, a man i played against (he was in uni and i was still a kid haha) told me i used them expertly. they are about control. crowd control, in game terms. they are basically snipers and their synergy with pawns is extremely important. theyre like pawn+. and usually regarded as more valuable than knights in most situations (tho it depends on the game, and thats why they are the same number value). the rooks are protectors, they have your back. they are a line of defense especially when all your pieces are out of the way and your king is alone. they really shine in the endgame, when most pieces are exchanged. they have a hidden gem sort of quality, and can be especially destructive in pawn+rook endgames. the queen is the world ender, when she comes over you know the attack is the real deal. and when they are exchanged you have changed the entire game's trajectory, because you are in the endgame now. theyre secretly controlling how the game proceeds. so yeah! i think your designs work really well and would love to see the rest

Thank you so much for this! I am writing a webcomic (it’s actually a manga) about a real life chess game and I keep getting stuck on ideas for outfits so thanks this helps a lot!!

The pawns expression looks kind of sad. Almost like she knows shes going to probably die.

A little thing I’ve always thought, when two pawns meet like face to face, they can’t move, so I always imagine it like they’re rushing into battle swords drawn and ready! And then they meet and just sit down to play cards or something the rest of the time😂 like this big battle is going on behind them and two pawns are just here like “Pikachu I choose you!!”

You always come up with these amazing, fun ideas! So inspired! Also your knight design feels really accurate to the knight piece, it's very on point to how the knight piece feels in a game.

I have some name suggestions: Queen: Victoria. Pawn: Holly. Knight: Lancer. Brilliant art btw!

I think the queen should be named Theodora, because in history, Theodora was royalty and she actually stopped Justinian from fleeing from the Nika Riots, eventually stopping them, as the queen can really help win the chess match and is very powerful.

I feel like the pawn’s name would be Lucie(since she’s a kid and shy). The knight’s name would be Dan or like Dave or something idk.. the name for the queen would be Elizabeth! ❤❤❤❤ can’t wait for part two!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

When I first saw the title I thought it said “Turing Cheese pieces into characters” and I was wow this might the strangest one yet. I’d love to see what you would do to make cheese into characters 💀💀

It’s been a while since I’ve watched any of your videos, I drifted away from artist KZbin, but hearing the “Hey everyone, it’s LavenderTowne” felt very peaceful and nostalgic in a way. I’m glad you’ve returned to my recommended, this is a peace I feel I need lately.

I would've added aspects of the pawn into the queen to refer to how a pawn can promote. Or add details of the queen and knight (the only pieces a pawn should be promoted to) onto the pawn. Also always love the work and there just small suggestions. I always forget to mention the parts a like because usually I like most of the design

Name suggestions: Pawn: Pip. Nice short, small name for a seemingly small, weak girl. Also pips are another word for seeds, which can grow into larger things.... Knight: Gawain. Or one of the names of a well-known knight like Lancelot or Perceval Queen: Dione. Literally means "divine queen", what more could you want?

SO COOL!! The Pawn girl strikes me as a Riley. I couldn't tell you why, it was the first thought I had when you mentioned naming the characters (even though the knight was onscreen lol) and I really like it for her lmao. Huge protagonist energy I wholeheartedly agree and love her design I wanna give her a hug (but definitely head on and not from the sides lmao. omg maybe that could be what happens when 2 opposing pawns stop each other ;w;)

When she was drawing the pawns, and the pawn still looked sad and wet, I was thinking, here where I live if one piece beats another, we call it "eating", that piece eats the other, so I couldn't help but imagine two sad looking pawns(that look like kids, even worse) fighting to the death with hands and teeth and cannibalizing each other alive until one of them dies from its wounds and the other one ends up eating it. I'm sorry.

This is one of my favorite of your character design videos so far! I definitely want to see all the pieces in as a many sequel videos as it takes. I've actually read a little one shot about chess based characters on Webtoon Canvas and it was quite a cool premise though the story was never finished.
