This is Doctor Who fan art. However, dA seems to think traditional fanart only comes as drawings and paintings, so I submitted this to the traditional art/sculpture section instead.

Anyhow, I'm quite pleased with my chess set. The pieces are all made from scratch! 32 pieces is quite a lot, I tell you... I like some pieces more than others, but I guess that's unavoidable. I wish you could all see this in real life though, it's much better than the photos. For instance, the Doctor's hair came out wonderfully, but can hardly be seen here.

Size: the board is 31x31 cm (exactly 1 foot square). The tallest pieces are the kings, they are almost 7 cm tall (2.75 inch). The Daleks are the smallest, they are about 3 cm high (1.2 inch). All pieces are made out of polymer clay.

So we have the 'good' and the 'evil' side.

:bulletred: Evil side:
:bulletgreen: King: The Master
:bulletgreen: Queen: Lady Cassandra
:bulletgreen: Bishops: Cybermen
:bulletgreen: Knights: Judoon & Sontaran
:bulletgreen: Rooks: Weeping Angels
:bulletgreen: Pawns: Daleks

:bulletred: Good side:
:bulletgreen: King: The Doctor (Ten)
:bulletgreen: Queen: Professor River Song
:bulletgreen: Bishops: Ood
:bulletgreen: Knights: Captain Jack Harkness & The Face of Boe
:bulletgreen: Rooks: Tardises
:bulletgreen: Pawns: Baby Adipose

Btw, I know I didn't place the pieces right. I have to admit I don't enjoy chess myself, although I loved it as a kid. I just love the idea of creating all the pieces now :) So I'm afraid I wasn't paying much attention when taking these photos. Sorry!

What do you guys think?

- UPDATE: the set has been SOLD! To one very lucky American :)

Pure Awesomeness! (volgens mij kun je voor de volgende set meer vragen hoor, er zit overduidelijk veel tijd in, bovendien is Fimo ook niet goedkoop... de echte fan heeft er wel wat voor over lijkt me)

Thanks! En ik zal zien wat ik er voor vraag, als de volgende af is. Voorlopig heb ik het veel te druk (stage, literatuurvak en MA scriptie), dus ik heb nog maar 1 schaakstuk kunnen maken haha. Maar in juli hoop ik er hard mee bezig te kunnen.

"I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
"Cats," he said eventually. "Cats are nice."
