Justice league vs Avengers

Justice League vs Avengers

I created my second themed chess set and this time the primary characters are the  Justice league and the Avengers.

This is the top view of the Justice league. All of the pieces are about 3 inches tall so they are not very big. That made it difficult to add the needed detail for each piece. I used checkmate characters as the pawns because they are cool.

 

I had to give Marvel some love in this set. The tough part was choosing the characters to be the court. That gave me some trouble because there are so may great characters to choose from. I finally  settled on the Iconic characters. I also added War machine because he is one of my favorite pieces.

The king in the set is Thor. I was torn between him and Captain America, but after thinking about it I came to the conclusion that Thor is a Norse god and he does rule Asgaurd.

 

Captain America would have to be in the set. I tried to capture the shield to give the piece some flash. He is a Bishop in the set.

I made The Hulk larger than the rest well because he is the Hulk. LOL. And you know what The Hulk always says? Hulk SMASH..... I have the Hulk as a Knight in the set.

This piece brought a smile to my face. I think Hawkeye is just the coolest character. I took his classic costume from the comics and gave him only one arrow. He is a rook in the set.

No set is complete without Black widow. I made her the Queen. I was going to use the Scarlet Witch but at the last minute old Black widow won out.

Iron Man .....nuff said. LOL,  I couldn't get the detail in the mask so I just left it out. I'm sure you can tell this is Iron Man. 

The best there is at what he does. Wolverine is one of the coolest characters in the Marvel universe so I had  to include him. He is a knight in the chess set.

Spider man Spider man does whatever a Spider can. Yes I put the old web slinger in the set as a rook.

War machine is my extra piece for the set. I made him just because...

I knew right away that I would have nick Fury and the shield agents as my pawns. They came out great. I even took the time to make them diverse.

I made a small version of Hawk Man and it came out great! I love this character. I will have to make a larger version of it in the future. He is a Rook in the set.

This is a side view of Hawk Man.

The Dark Knight...Nuff said!

I had to give you another view of Batman

Man I really like this character. Batman the Dark Knight came out very well.

No set is complete without Green Lantern.

The Queen in the set is Wonder Woman

The Man of steel is represented. Super Man is the King.

Green Arrow is another great piece for the set.

Cyborg has been added to the Justice league and you know I had to put him in the set.

The  Flash is the fastest man alive and in this set he holds a place as a rook.

 To close out the set I included the check mate group of Warriors.

The entire set took me a few weeks to complete. In the end I this it was well worth the time.
I hope you like the new set. Please follow me on facebook for more interesting art. please click on an add before you close the blog.
I'll see you next week.

Star Wars a New Creation

www.twistedwire.us

I am a huge fan of the Star Wars Franchise. That being said I have to admit that I don't like Jar Jar Binks!!!! Ok I had to get that off my chest.

The movies have been around since I was a child. All I have know is that Star Wars is coming out soon. The directors did a great job setting up all of the parts of the movie that would explain this huge universe.

I love the game of chess. I am not a great player by any stretch of the imagination. I can hold my own with a good player. A chess master would clean my clock.

I decided that I would sit down and create my very own wire chess set inspired by the Star Wars movie Franchise.

As you can see in this image I created both the Light side and the Dark side for this set.

 

Darth Vader

The Iconic Sith Lord DarthVader is the Queen in the chess set. The Queen is the most powerful piece in the chess set so it had to be Darth Vader.

 

Boba Fett
You gotta love the number one bounty hunter in the Star Wars Universe.

Darth Maul- Bishop

I had to make Darth Maul one of the characters in the chess set. He was in one of the prequels for a short time and he immediately stole every scene he was in. This character is a Bishop in the chess set.



General Grivious- Rook

General Grevious was created as a rook. This was a fun piece to create.

The number one team of scoundrels in the Star Wars universe.

Chewbacca and Han Solo are my Knights for the Light side.

The Entire Light Side Court

 This is an image of the entire Light Side court. I was very happy to create this group. It only took me about 20 hours to paint the wood and build every character for the light side. I was in geek heaven as I saw the characters come to life.

A chess set isn't complete without Luke Sky Walker and Obi-Wan Kinobi. they will be the Bishops in the chess set.

Princess Leia and Yoda

I made my Queen and King Princess Leia and Yoda because Yoda is the most powerful Jedi Knight and well Leia is the obvious Queen.

Rebel Soldiers



The Rebel Soldiers were always going to be my pawns in the set. I didn't worry about making all of them identical because in real life everyone isn't the same size so there wasn't the drive to hold that level .

Rebel Soldiers This  is a view of the Rebel Soldiers in formation.

This is the Dark side King. I decided  to make Darth Sideous the King because he sat back in the shadows orchestrating everything and that caused so much trouble for the whole universe.

The Storm Troopers were kept simple because it just works. I chose them as my pawns for the dark side.

This is the set that I created as it was inspired by the Star Wars movies. All of these pieces are my version of the characters. I will showcase this set at the upcoming Comic conventions and Art shows.

Thanks for reading the post.

I will see you soon.
