Nova Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 I made this for 18"x24" print. Please view full. New version: Original here --click I am a fan of surreal art. In the piece above I am trying to convey that cricket is a mind game. Somewhere in a parallel universe, I fantasize about playing cricket like chess. The team takes the form of chess pieces and the umpire is a sand clock. Time is ticking...who will win? The black king (Tendu) is under "check" from the rook (McGrath). Fans are watching from the castle and cheering their team. The player in the right has a worried look......I wonder why. His opponent seems happy :winky:
ludhianvi Posted March 10, 2010 Posted March 10, 2010 wow :wtg: The player in the right has a worried look......I wonder why. His opponent seems happy that's because most of his pieces are batsmen :D
EnterTheVoid Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Not bad but I like your other pieces better.
Nova Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 what are the rules of cricket chess? Not made any rules yet...but there is one rule in chess when the pawn reaches the other side..then you can choose to promote it to a piece of your choice. So if Tendu is already out, then you can call him back...:cantstop:
CSK Fan Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Awesome work Tdigi. Its a work of art, many might not like it, but the details are amazing
Guest Gunner Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 Tdigi, that is really impressive. Do you paint in your free time?
Nova Posted March 11, 2010 Author Posted March 11, 2010 Do you paint in your free time? No I do not. I am more of a collage/photo manipulation guy and use photoshop as medium. Its a work of art' date=' many might not like it, but the details are amazing[/quote'] It looks better in full resolution. I do agree that this is not everyone's cup of tea.
Lord Posted March 11, 2010 Posted March 11, 2010 why have u made SRT a BLACK King but McGrath a WHITE rook?u r a racist:hitler:

mastana Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Also the perspective where the player is sitting in the background doesnt look right. It should match Castle's perspective.
The Outsider Posted March 12, 2010 Posted March 12, 2010 Wow! Just saw this - brilliant artwork! :hatsoff:
