Here's a marker sketch done in anticipation of the Montreal Mini-Con on December 4th. It's of Neil Gaiman's version of Death as seen in the classic series Sandman from Vertigo. I decided to use Seventh Seal by Ingmar Bergman as influence because I thought it would be fun, also, I'm pretty pretentious.


Do enjoy and check out my blog!

...oh. But the impossible problem was never meant to be solved by orthodox rules anyway. Cf. [link] for the, eh, intended solution. :-)
(I'm a player and composer myself, wonder if Death grants me a game as traditional...)

Oh I know it was never meant to be solved, but I was inking and I turned a pawn into a fool by mistake, so the board on this drawing might not be set up in such a way that it is impossible to solve.

Where is that damn knight?

Well, on f5 obviously, mating with Nf5-g3+ in 3 moves. Or did you mean that on g8? :P

Actually, if you look closely, and are as weirdly fixated on things like this as I am, you'll notice that the chess pieces are in Lewis Caroll's impossible Chess problem.

I made a mistake with one piece, so it might not be so impossible now.

I meant the knight she will be playing against.
