Generally tremendous graphics: clean, clear and simple. Is it possible to
offer pieces for inclusion, or make requests? I'm using some 'new'
graphics for shatranj variants, and will soon need to make more. These
pieces are or will be adaptations of your existing graphics. In some
cases, I'd like to replace an existing piece with a more themed graphic.
For example, in a shatranj-like game, I'd replace the squirrel with a new
piece consisting of the 'High Priestess' piece fronting a warmachine.
This will be a visual combination of knight, alfil, and dabbabah, whose
moves comprise the squirrel movement; and this doesn't put a squirrel on
the battlefield with elephants and horses and war machines.
Thank you for the great graphics and for making them so freely available.
When people start complaining that your graphics should be used more, you
are definitely doing something right.
