King of Kingsby ~he4rty

I created a silhouette of a chess piece and using the things I'd learnt in doing the crown moulding gradients created a gradient for the Image. I used the gradient in a blend top to bottom to create the depth of the image profile, then using path blend and a half circle gradient blended left to right to try and create the illusion of the piece being curved. Finally added a marble texture displaced using the profile gradient.
Created the chessboard using render chequerboard, layer masked with a radial blend and mapped object.
Reflection was the image scaled to 4/6 original size then flipped and masked with a medium grey to black linear gradient.
The light effect started as a white cross which I the distorted with the wind filter both left & right, finally I done a zoom motion blur.
The text used a pre-designed font and script.

All was created using Gimp.
