Chess is my hobby, I play nearly daily and I collect chess sets. I want you to know that I love this picture. It is very similar to the way I picture the pieces mid game. The way the pieces seem to come alive, and slowly you can tell the personality of your oponent from the way he moves his queen, and his pawns. Judging by this picture, I would say that your queen is not afraid of anything, and that pawns mean nothing.

She is amazing, she is beautiful, and that knight just further emphasizes the game that is in mid play. Great piece.

I love this piece

but the best part was the board I love the way it's both ground with grass and a chess board.

*eyes up the board and black spot in which Queen is standing* It looks as if that Knight is at the end of the line. He is ina direct diagonal with the queen! I take it the mods round here wear some pretty heavy perscription glasses. Where is that little feather?

SHE IS GORGEOUS! Utterly cold, calculating, swift and deadly. Just like a chess game ought to be played! Deffinatly one of my favs on here! Keep it up!

This is incredible. She reminds me of Mary of England because of her look of determination and ruthlessness.

Wow. Just... wow. Have you ever considered illustrating as a job? You'd go a long way. This is absolutely amazing!

I love how you portray her not as belonging in the palace but actually out in the battlefield. Wonderful.

She appears to be so cold and calculating. But is her coldness due to blood loss. or is it only her shadow. In any case I would venture to say that that knight is doomed. Even with his horse.

I love they way you portrayed her. Clothed and heavily armoured, exactly the way she has always appeared to me. )I love to play Chess.) The helm is a piece of art work unto it's self as are her eyes. Amazing...
