Checkmate

Checkmate!

 

After a gruesome game of chess, the king of the clear forfeits! Cloud wins!

 

haha! This was a fun and interesting photograph to do. I've had have this shirt forever, and I loved it ever since my aunt got it for me when I was I think seventeen. xD. Wow almost been four years... maybe three? haha.

 

I didn't think of using this shirt, I wanted to use another black shirt that had several colors ingraved in front of the front of it, or my purple native american shirt, but I realized they were both dirty and wet... so I didn't want to touch them, and I settled for this shirt after I didn't like how a beige shirt looked trying to do this same exact shot.

 

I sat this up with a chess board because I wanted to see an image with the king falling. I was originally trying to recreate my capturing the coin spinning. I wanted to get the king falling, however due to it being a glass and clear set it didn't come out right.

 

Apparently with clear things on glass boards they blend together to become a blur. So it was a great idea. But, it didn't work out and I turned it into this. :)

 

This photograph won 5 sparkles!
