This was probably the most complicated picture that I drew at FAU. Nevertheless, I enjoyed doing it. The character and the chess board were drawn on one piece of paper, the knight piece was drawn on another. and the small chess pieces were also drawn on another page. I scanned them into the computer, arranged them all together, printed it, and retraced it all together. I am happy with how it came out :)

It's pretty easy if you limit the details to the characters' movements. Knight moves in Tetris L-block shapes, Rooks move left or right as far as they want, Bishops move diagonal as far as they want, Queen has both the moves of the Bishop and Rook, King moves one square in any direction, pawns can only move forward.
Awesome picture, but the fox is over-confident and it will be hid undoing. That's not checkmate.
White can:
1) Move the king to the white square towards the fox, one to the left or to either of the black square diagonally to the left.
2) Kill the knight with the queen in the far left corner.
3) Kill the knight with the rook off to the right.
I'd go for the third, since black's king has to be in that spot hidden by the fox's hand and doing so would checkmate him.

It's just artfully placed chess pieces. Why try to read a real game-position into it when it's impossible anyway? xD
There's a black pawn in the upper-left square, one along the right column, and one along the bottom row. No matter which direction black's pawns 'advance' in, he's got a pawn sitting in the final row AND THE NEAREST ROW. Not a real chessgame.
I'd rather drool over that gorgeous knightpiece and the more-gorgeous fox anyway. Hoooooly crap. <3
