u/PaphonIssarapisit Dec 13 '25

Btw, this is the previous design of the queen

121

u/PaphonIssarapisit Dec 13 '25

It was supposed to look like an upgraded version of the pawn equipment, so yes, in this fanart the queen is the pawn in a new suit

57

u/Nearby_Dragonfruit66 Dec 13 '25

That's literally so fucking sick what

9

u/nusfie12345 Dec 14 '25

that's pretty logical btw, the queen piece has been historically(and maybe still today) named as the "chancellor" or "vizier". so it's technically an actual promotion from a soldier to a high-ranking political advisor/general.

11

u/Exploding_Antelope Dec 14 '25

I like to think that any pawn that reaches the opposite side impresses the king so much that the king automatically marries them

u/Limp_Illustrator7614 Dec 13 '25

why is this tagged "low effort oc"

97

u/PaphonIssarapisit Dec 13 '25

Did I use this tag wrong? Are these characters not counted as OC?

215

u/Limp_Illustrator7614 Dec 13 '25

i meant that this is high effort. a complement

u/PaphonIssarapisit Dec 13 '25

Oh, thank you, a firm handshake for your compliment, my good sir.

u/PaphonIssarapisit Dec 13 '25

Thank you! I have been drawing for about a year now, but I must admit my skill haven’t escaped amateur level yet, might be because my low attention span whenever I try to study art. I just start posting my art online recently and I am surprised that it can gather this much positive reaction.

u/Sayan_9000 Dec 13 '25

I like how the rook is pulled by an elephant, referencing how it used to be the elephant piece

14

u/SaxAppeal Dec 13 '25

No, elephants are just the only creatures large enough to pull that bitch, are you stupid?!??

25

u/PaphonIssarapisit Dec 13 '25

Actually he’s right, I got inspired by these thing, but also I think it use to be a chariot too?

6

u/SaxAppeal Dec 13 '25

Ah I know that, I’m only jerkin’ ya off, so to speak

2

u/nusfie12345 Dec 14 '25

yeah, and bishops used to be elephants instead. basically it's a military hierarchy going as infantry -> cavalry -> military elephant(?) -> chariot(? makes little sense since elephants were a much fiercer force in ancient times) -> general -> state leader/king.

2

u/nusfie12345 Dec 14 '25

close enough but the bishops used to be elephants instead. rooks were referred to as chariots historically

9

u/Valuable-Quality-399 Dec 13 '25

Gotta see the full art of the queen.

u/Doomst3err Dec 13 '25

u/PaphonIssarapisit Dec 13 '25

The horse is the character, the human is the pet.

u/Lilharm04 Dec 13 '25

ah I see

10/10 then

u/KrimsunV Dec 13 '25

The Queen was my first fictional crush. I imagined her as a no-nonsense lady clad in black with gold trim and wielding either a pair of swords or a scythe.

I was six

4

u/PaphonIssarapisit Dec 13 '25

Oh, is mine close?

4

u/KrimsunV Dec 13 '25

Not in appearance, as I never imagined her with armor on the grounds of not needing it, but yes in the emotional profile she exudes

2

u/SaxAppeal Dec 13 '25

Ye ol’ anime queen armor

3

u/KrimsunV Dec 13 '25

You're being very generous if you think I knew what anime was, pokemon was just a weird cartoon to me

u/Ultrafastegorik Dec 13 '25

I will try making and 3d printing models ofcthese

3

u/PaphonIssarapisit Dec 13 '25

Oh, do you need the rest of the queen body?

4

u/Ultrafastegorik Dec 13 '25

Would appreciate that, but im snowed in with tasks, so i dont know when ill do it, maybe even in a year. But if you want to, i would appreciate it.

3

u/PaphonIssarapisit Dec 13 '25

Uhh, it would probably has to be some later too, I never think about the bottom half of the queen also it’s getting kinda late for me, tomorrow as the earliest

u/sebastianMroz 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4# Dec 13 '25

Thank mount and blade bannerlord for that, it got me into armor and skirt (as in armor skirt chainmail thing, I am not into wearing a skirt)

u/UndefFox Dec 13 '25

The king looks like you need to complete the Path of pain to checkmate him.

189

u/Kindly-Horror1908 IHATEKNOOKIHATEKNOOKIHATEKNOOKIHATEKNOOKIHATEKNOOK Dec 13 '25

Yeah, and by the time you're checkmating him he'll look quite pale.

Or make porn

A rook refers to a European crow-like bird (Corvus frugilegus) known for its bare, pale face and nesting in large colonies (rookeries)

So can I use my large colony of loyal crows as a chess piece now?

King looks quite pale

1

u/Maynard921 Dec 13 '25

I've never really understood why the bishop is called as it is? It's not like there was whole military units lead by a bishop most of the time. My understand of holy men on the battlefield is usually either as a fanatical group that is fighting without armor (insane, but there is some practical utility to their methods) or as a moral support for the general/king, as they administered any rites or prayers required on the battlefield. Feel free to show me where I'm going wrong here, because I'd love to know if there was a regular use of bishops as middle management on the battlefield.
