Orctober - Your Character Here
🕑 Added 2021-09-23 18:01:01 +0000 UTC
Hello guys, Vivid Syntax here gave me a very good idea with the YCH slots for the chess pieces. So, from now on you can apply to have your orc character feature as a chess piece in my personal challenge.
Just click the pieces (1 or 2) you would like the most and I will download the detailed results to identify your preference. Like I do for weighting votes. Then I will contact you for having some references for your character.
I will keep it on Patreon for free for now. If I receive requests at midpoint I might open up (with a charge) to people from outside.
In the meanwhile, I will give you some generalities about the designs of the pieces, to see which one you see more apt to your character.
Sad to spoil this to you, but the styles of the armies are divided in:
Blacks: more standard orcs, flavored as fantasy tribesmen wearing fur and leather and with a design theme about the night, stars, and moon.
Whites: greek-roman inspired, better trimmed, and wearing chitons, sandals, and plate armors. Their theme is fire and sun.
Alas, Queens and Kings are already taken because they're the pieces that give identity to both the set, and their designs need to be precise. But all the rest are free or grab.
- Bishops: two kinds, the priest and the standard-bearer. That's because in roman languages the "bishop" is called the "standard-bearer."
- Knights: two kinds, the wolf rider and the orc-centaur. Orkentaur? This would be the only set of pieces completely divided between the armies. Both of the wolf riders black and both of the orkentaurs white.
- Rooks: two kinds, the Tank and the Damager. The Tank is the rook closer to the king with which it can more easily use the "castling" move, hence its more defensive role, his weapon would be a shield. The Damager uses heavy weapons like rams or hammers, since the rook is inspired to the siege towers.
- Pawns: they're actually the pieces that leave more creative freedom, they might be just a bit influenced by the pieces they have behind. Like, the pawn behind the standard-bearer might also bear his own smaller standard. The most interesting thing you must know is that they will be the guys dressed the least. They're the least important pieces and don't need protection. Total fetish gear.
Ah, I must remind you that I want to keep it "SFW", so no dicks out.
But yeah, if you have an orc character you cherish and want to see transformed in a chess piece, click there!
