I've always appreciated chess for its theatrical nature. To me, the game was enchanting win or lose because I could so clearly picture the "little battlefield" in my mind. Ever since I've begun practicing 3D modeling and sculpting, I've known that I wanted to try my hand at designing a few chess sets. The specific inspiration for my first attempt struck when I saw two stag beetles locking jaws in a fight online, I thought it would make the perfect center motif for a chess set and so began designing a set around it.
