OK, prepare for long description!

New ~Tonneball-Studios project. Working title is 'Chess' (how creative). I was originally just drawing this for fun, but when ~Terri-Hana saw the sketch she started giving me all kinds of ideas. She also saved me from messing up the bishops! (In Norwegian, they're called 'løere' (runners), so I never knew they were supposed to be bishops orz; I thought they were knights, LOL (for the record, the knights are called 'springere' in Norwegian... which also means 'runners', wtf).)

They're supposed to be a family - king and queen are mommy and daddy. This wasn't in the original idea, but as I started drawing them shorter and shorter they started looking younger and younger, SOOO they became the kids.
I know this makes the queen one hell of a MILF, but I didn't want to change her D: So yes, I have no idea how she's managed to keep that figure after popping out 14 kids LOL orz;;;
Originally I didn't draw 8 Pawns - I just had two, one male and one female. But after we decided this was gonna be a project, I drew the remaining 6. Never in my life had I imagined I would have octuplet OCs haha.

I wanted to model them after their respective pieces. Well, somewhat, at least. So yeah, that's why the knights are 'horses' and not... well, knights.
I was really scared I'd make them look Aryan if I wasn't careful, haha orz;; I think I didn't? 8D;;
They are 8 guys and 8 girls.

I'm not looking too forward to naming them HAHA.
