Finger Chess Set
Description
[A video, if you like](https://www.tiktok.com/@contajieqdi/video/7337348853118553390?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7310415180777309742) The board is, of course, from a 'real' chess set such as [this](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098JYCLCG) Thank you to [NNOTM](https://www.blendswap.com/profile/405676) for the [basemesh](https://www.blendswap.com/blend/15887), remixed to be roughly modeled after my own hand. Inspired, in part, by [Dali's](https://archive.thedali.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=record;id=377;type=101). Printed in SLA. I tried to use partial hollowing to change the center of mass, but note to resin printers, it might be best to add a 2nd hole somewhere near the top of the hollow pieces. Letting the resin slowly drain out of the bottom was an inconsistent process - I imagine it would work much better if there was a 2nd hole to allow air to replace the cavity, and more easily 'flush' the uncured resin out. Note: there is an interesting conversation to be had here about skin color, perceptions and uses of the words 'white' and 'black' in different settings, and representation. This was not designed with that in mind, and my meagre paint skills simply landed on two vaguely human skin tones - I haven't enough experience to specify my tones beyond that. Nor am I an expert in linguistics or race theory, but of course I encourage anyone to interpret it how they like, and print and paint their own however they choose.
