For~illyn's Chess Piece Project. (Thanks so much for multiple extensions :heart:!)

Thanks so much for all the encouragement, *Winterdreamer, ~Kirohaku, ~Zegin, ~damnthatsam, ~naru64, =syncaidia, ~eleanaleone, ~Sonira, ~tamayouchi, ~Catfeesh, *wings-03, ~tii-kun, *Saiyuku, ~kianahsaro, ~whispersinthenight13, ~yukasha-nori, *dubaCute, ~hayner-l0ver, ~tee-moogle, ~Blizzard5291, ~Seven-Star, =Tanoshii-Chan, *DeviantDeath, and =ForestEden :heart:!
Also, huge thanks to all those who commented on the WIP! Without all you guys I wouldn't have gotten through this image at all. Seriously, you guys are awesome!

Let's all lol @ the bg! It turned out pretty nyeh because ArtWeaver doesn't have a controllable 1px brush *frowns* And lacks the availability of textures for ALL brushes, like shi-painter has.

Started/Finished: July 5th - July 10th 2oo7
Programs:
-Sketch: paper/pencil
-Lines: Oekaki Shi-Painter
-Colours: ArtWeaver
-Edits: GIMP and OpenCanvas 1.1
Time: 3 days
Tools: mouse

A complaint you can totally throw rocks at me for: I want a tablet :(. Like badly.

Sry long description ^^;

Edit: Might do the crown.. at some point :XD: She doesn't look too queenly atm. Sword symbolizes power held by the queen, scepter is partial indication to her royal status, cross is loyalty to the church, and the stained glass king is a reminder of what she is fighting for (protecting the king).

I love this pic.
I really wanna remake this dress for Castlefest 2012.
Me and my friends are planning to play chess with real people and I'm the white queen.
It's a shame I can only see the dress from behind.

this is awesome!
Is that the black queen in the background, just to the right of the white queen?

And i love how, unlike many pieces like this, the queen is not over-covered. She doesn't have a ton of armor, and it's not like she has her own group of guards, she can hold her own.
