I think it's safe to say I have many flaws.
Countless flaws in fact.
And I'm trying to fix some of them, because I'll never be able to fix them all.
But trying to fix a flaw is like playing a video game on an outdated machine.
Sure the game still runs, but it freezes and lags and it won't be much fun.
Yes, I have many many flaws.
But I'll lay claim to all of them.

On a different note, I began the designs for a chess set I'm going to be making. Our school received a 3D printer and the teacher in charge of it agreed to let me make a custom chess set.
So far I only have the "white" kingdom started. And only the king and queen are fully designed, they look ghastly, though I'm rather fond of how the queen looks, so I suppose I know what kingdom I'll be playing.
I'm not sure what to make the "black" kingdom, I've debated gargoyles or demons, but I'm also thinking zombies.
A chess set of zombies and ghouls sounds beautifully horrific to me.
If I do use the zombies for the other kingdom, I'm going to make the pawns be eyeballs.
I'm not sure what I would make the rest though, but zombies are pretty easy to sketch up.

I plan on making all the characters for the "white" kingdom sexless, but heavily hinted at what sex they would be. Say for the Queen, as an example, she is completely naked, but her chest is undefined yet there is a feminine quality to her face and her hair spans along her entire design. I'm covering the lower half of the torso to save myself the trouble. She's sitting inside a crown. The king is wearing his. I don't think I'll hide the lower torso with the rooks, I'm thinking of doing something like "The Rake" or "Shy Guy" (from SCP containment breach). A long lanky, creepy looking rook for the "white" kingdom, and for the "black" kingdom I can do some sort of lanky zombie rook to match up.

I think maybe for the pawns in my ghoul kingdom, I'll just make them look like blobs of goo or something
I don't know smile

Have a good day guys!
