Chessboard of the Golden Witch
This is a little tribute to the awesome visual novel created by 7th expansion, Umineko no naku koro ni (When the seagulls cry).
I guess a lot of people who read it might have a similar idea to this, since the novel keeps comparing itself to a chess game and the characters to chess pieces, but i wanted to give my own view of it =) (Smile)
Still, the arrangements of the pieces might be innacurate (I seriously doubt Bernkastel and Lamdadelta can be considered pieces!) but meh, it's not of a big deal.
Here's the pieces arrangement:
[] WHITE SIDE
King - Ushiromiya Battler
Queen - Bernkastel
Bishops - Ushiromiya George and Ushiromiya Jessica
Knights - Kanon and Shanon
Rooks - Ushiromiya Maria and Kumasawa
Pawns - Genji and Ushiromiya Natsuhi, Kyrie, Hideyoshi, Rosa, Krauss, Rudolf and Eva
[] BLACK SIDE
King - Beatrice
Queen - Lamdadelta
Bishops - Ronove and Gaap
Knights - Siesta 45 and Siesta 410
Rooks - Eva-Beatrice and Virgilia
Pawns - Goat, Lucifer, Mammon, Satan, Asmodeus, Belphegor, Beelzebub and Leviathan
And here is every piece separately if you're interested:

I was aiming for making it a full pixel piece but it didn't have much sense to redo the whole board just for that, so i'm leaving it this way.
