Chess Pieces (16x16):


Standing Pieces (32x48):


Grey Standing Pieces (32x48):


Update: 30/09
Knight running and walking animations (32x48):



I thought about a game based around chess... I've no idea what, but I'm gonna make some chess sprites, some platformer-y, RPG-y type sprites, maybe portraits and some chesstiles...

The basic character design is above as a sneak peek... (Pawn, Rook - Archer, Knight - Knight, Bishop - Mage)
Probably going to do a colour and a greyscale one if time permits...

These are great! Chess is a pretty fantastic theme to build a game around and it's really rare to see.

Niiiiice. I like the idea of rook as archer; I always thought of them as huge, lumbering, heavily-armored juggernauts, but making them archers accounts for their range.

Great idea. Will you be making non-real chess pieces too?

I prefered them when they were black and white. The new ones lack anti-aliasing, which makes them seem a bit weird. Specially the first one and the last one. But overall, good job.

The grey ones have returned by apparent popular request.
Decided I'm going to animate the knight as he's my favourite... animations later.

Running and walking animations:



First frame is a side-on standing shot for each animation.
Do people want him with a sword as well?
Any specific animations?

I think a spear would be better, rather than a sword.
