Wicked Chess Set
No one mourns the Wicked… chess set! This set is my pride and joy when it comes to concept development. I go more into it below, but the designs of each of these pieces were personally researched, sketched, and edited by me. Likewise, I had the joy of sculpting the piece bases which for a chess amateur it makes me glad to be a part of every customers’ checkmate.

Concept Development:
As of today, I have seen Wicked more times than any other movie. Taking scenes frame by frame and analyzing the character art, Paul Tazwell’s costumes, and looking at official assets, I sketched and ideated the pieces for the full chess set. Some designs didn’t quite make the cut and many changed, but that’s the fun of concept development. I’ve included some of my process images to show some of the step-by-step for this project.
Fusion360 CAD Sculpting:
Although I did not sculpt the figurines, I did sculpt the base in Autodesk Fusion360. This project was especially fun because of its use of splines, sweeps, and radial patterns.
