My Chess Pieces

Post by cndr »

I am working on chess pieces for my chess program, and I can't seem to get a good colour scheme, the current colours I have going on right now seem pretty dull, does anyone have any recommendations?

black look good, the white need to be black outline white inside... I think it would look perfect like that :D alternatively you could do weird colors like red and blue, but that might be kinda awkward IDK

I didn't think of putting white inside the white pieces, what I did was I changed the colour of the black pieces. I'll try out the white background.

Are they supposed to look flat? If that isn't the style you're looking for, then you need a shadows and highlights.

The white pieces dont look white, it looks like you turned the gamma up on those pieces
