Entry number 2 for me. Pawn.

This one takes a little explanation. She is a juggler. The green ball is low because I didn't want her face or hat covered. Simple to show off the beauty of the fig.

Unfortunately, I had mucho problems with my crappy camera, so I had to edit the full chess set photo just to make every piece visable. I understand that such editing may disqualify that entry. oh well :(

Whew! Right at the last minute! I hope...anyway, here's my entry.

A rook.

EDIT: Okay, I went back and reread the rules just to make sure I was still within the limits, and I read that I can link back to the gallery. So, Here's the gallery when modded.

Thank you.

God bless.

Well, after about a month's worth of procrastinating, here are my entries. Both are for the single piece category.

First, a bishop.

Second, a knight

A note about the knight. The rules did not specify that this was disallowed, however I suspect it may be. This knight appeared in one of my previous publically shared MOCs, albeit not as a chess piece. I wasn't sure if this disqualified it or not, so I've chosen to enter it with this explanation. If this contradicts any rules, then I accept responsibility and have no problem with this entry being disqualified.
