P reliminary models: (See previous post for the sketches) The king required a bit of troubleshooting to get the more complex curves. For the ears and the horns, I used sweep2, using the curves as the rails and the circles as the sweep shapes. As for the head, it's pretty much just a stretched-out sphere. In terms of proportions, I did some experimenting to see what felt right. I decided to not include a nose for this model just to simplify it a little bit since it already had details indicating a general face (the ears and horns). Ears: Horns: I didn't keep the base model, but the queen was basically 6 sets of squares that I booleanDifference'd the pips into and then put together into a cube. (I had a similar model from the castle project that I reworked so that the pips were indented rather than on the outside). The Bishop, Knight, and Rook were all made using revolve and the noses made using a sphere then scale1D to get them to become more ovular. The handles were mostly
