Description
Whoops I forgot to upload this.. some of you have already seen this though!
This was done for school last year, it took me a very, very long time. Honestly, I think it was the most difficult thing I've ever chosen to draw. I did not use any references so it challenged my knowledge of anatomy and perspective.
Oil. Please critique, don't be shy, you won't insult me! <:
P.S. I scanned the painting at a professional print-maker place and here's the full resolution if you want to see it up really close! Just "ctrl"+ "-" to zoom out!

aaaAAAHH this is so great woah the chess pieces are super well done and shiny
and no references?? i can't draw old people without references OTL
uhsdf critique-wise the guy on the left's lower hand looks really feminine compared to his other hand
and it looks like he only has one joint on his middle finger
and that is all i have to say

HOLY SHIT WOWOWOWOW<3
YOU BETTER HAVE THIS FRAMED IN YOUR HOUSE
if not ill frame it in MINE like honestly wow
The colouring is crazy good- the lighting and shading is fantastic - I really love how there seems to be more light on the chess board, and damn just look at the folds in those guys' suits, its just so realistic. The dark colour scheme is incredible. I love the scenario - chess is commonly used as a metaphor for people planning out their pawns and plans - but I've never seen the chess pieces actually shaped as people. You grab the metaphor and drive it home on the best ride of its LIFE

LARA GOD YOU ARE SO
I JUST
I
I ADORE YOU, THANK YOU ; _____ ; adsshgh yeah I really made the metaphor a little too obvious haha
Somehow I still think the guy on the right looks too stuff and weird I have no idea what is up with that but maybe you have an idea?
But seriously wow thank you v __ v your comments are like shining orbs of glorious light THAT LEAVE ME INCAPABLE OF ANSWERING

IM SO WHAT?
FABULOUS?
CHARMING?
awwawww no problem <3333 <3333 I did not mean that in a bad way!!! I meant it like wow totally cool
OMFG SHINING ORBS OF GLORIOUS LIGHT
THATS A GREAT DESCRIPTION <3<3<3
ahh as for the guy on the right, i think i see what you mean uvu
for this face, it seems that the top part of his face (eyebrows/eyes area) is turned closer to the view than the bottom (nose/mouth area) just a bit! His neck is a bit too wide - and the shortness of his neck to his shoulder gives you the impression that hes about the slouch- but then his posture is upright. perhaps thats it?

(oops I meant "stiff" when I said "stuff" derp)
YES THOSE. FABULOUS AND CHARMING AND WONDERFUL
And no I know you didn't mean it in a bad way! I was just saying in general haha
WOW OK YOU ARE COMPLETELY RIGHT I never .. knew it was like that wow thank you! His neck really is a behemoth lmao
I'll fix it up in photoshop I think! This was exactly the kind of advice I was hoping for, gah thank youuuuu j __ j

This is just beautiful! I like how the chess pieces are shaped like people.
I really like the concept here and your gorgeous coloring!
(Me trying to critique) The guy on the right, proportion wise,
looks like his head is too low because of a very short neck.
I honestly don't know if it's just me or the coat. But your
lighting is so beautiful! Especially with the ripples and reflections.
You did a wonderful job with the lights since it gives off a feeling a depth
to me! Amazing job!

This painting, it's beautiful. I just love it!
Especially how the chess pieces are. I really like the concept.
Your lighting is beautiful! And the ripples. You did a wonderful job
with the light giving off depth. (Ok, me trying to critique) The guy on the right,
proportion wise it looks like his head is really low (like really short neck).
Never did anything with oils before so don't have much to say, but
One things for sure, your works are amazing!

Aww you even commented twice by accident! Thank you so much for taking the time to say so much, I appreciate it a lot. T ____ T
You know, you're absolutely right about the guy on the right, I still feel very uncomfortable about him, and I don't really know exactly what it is about him that looks so stiff and lifeless. I'll play around with his neck proportions on photoshop and see if it will work!
And yeah, they're shaped like people since they represent people! People being played around with by corporations. o/

What really! I thought I accidentally deleted the first
comment since I was sleepy writing it so I tried to retype everything since I went back to look for it and it didn't show up. Glad you find my comment useful though.
Best concept ever.
