Grand Master of Order

Some back story is required for this one.

 

Back in the mid 90's I was writing what I hoped could become a published comic book, the story was cosmic in nature and as such dealt with beings outside of the normal laws of time and space.

 

One of the unfinished concepts was the idea that our universe is simply a giant game of chess, that two creatures "the opponent" and "the grand master" constantly select beings to play off against one another, the ultimate prize, well that was something I hadn't decided.

 

This was the representation of the force of Order, better known as the grand master. His purpose was to select forces that will end conflict and bring peace on a galactic scale.

 

(note the concept is very similar to the plot of Babylon Five where the Vorlons and Shadows represented order and chaos, which is why I abandoned the idea in the end).

 

The picture is a pencil sketch inked in pen on white photocopy paper and was most likely drawn between 1995 and 1998.

 

I found this image when going through some sketches I filed about 3 years ago.

 

as always comments are welcome.
