Description
Xenodream, no pp, PS6 for frame.
This one's for you Rik, I guess you will recognize this instantly. For those who are wondering, it is the opening set for "Through the Looking Glass (and what Alice found there)" by Lewis Carroll. I had to make some choices concerning the chess pieces. I could have constructed them in a more classical way, but I chose to make my own interpretations. Think the Rook and Pawn (Alice) are self explaining, as might be the two Queens at the bottom. The two pieces on the left at the tophalf are my Kings, the two pieces on the right my Knights.
Also gave some reflection in the back to mimic the title of the book, and let the chessboard float very gently above the surface, to show that the adventure has begun.
Also, I could have rendered this even longer until I got very smooth surfaces and pieces, but since this particular game is being played all over again since 1896, I thought a little wear an tear would be appropriate.
Pfffw, that must be my longest explanation of a work ever... LOL
Thank you so much for viewing and all of your comments.
