Skull set

Shortly after I got these 'skull' pieces ...

... I stumbled across this 'gothic' chess board ...

... and I thought the board and pieces would go well together.

And then I thought I'd enhance some of the pieces (bishops, knights, queens and kings) a bit by painting parts of them; green and silver on the 'white' pieces, and red and gold on the 'black' pieces.

And this is what the final skull set looks like:

I do feel the partial painting improved them, but you judge for yourself, of course!
