Apparently there's a culture of chess playing in prison, specifically on death row between inmates confined to their cells, played verbally as they call out moves to eachother! And that...kind of...prison mind chess was the prompt for this illustration.

Was a good opportunity to experiment with technique and style- not sure where this is all going, if anywhere. But it's fun to work this way- very informed by my time spent sculpting in zbrush for my former employer- it's good to try some things I've learned in 3d that I haven't used in my 2d work.
