Noahtober #31 - Check Mate

The King is dead. Long live the new King.

Mana is gone. The Millennium Earl is left. Goodbye Mana, it's better you are forgotten.

Noahtober #30 - White

Allen is one of the Black Pieces, is he? He originally never was. He was a Noah for several years already, protecting the memories. He was forced to switch sides, forget about it. Until he believed he was one of them, ...

Noahtober #27 -Black Queen

You did see this coming, did you? I mean Nea was the White Queen, therefore Allen is the Black Queen. He's less pompous than Nea's design but in general i kept the black pieces are bit more plain.

Nea moving forward to the end of the game he started... prepared to face the one he has been targeting the whole time. Is he?

Noahtober #28 - Your Move

The Earl made his move, what about you, Black Order? What will you do now ... facing a Level 4 Akuma for the first time, not grasping what this means?

Noahtober #26 -Black King

I decided to give this role to Cross as he's clearly one of the most powerful Exorcists with not one but two Innocence and way too much knowledge about everything, the Earl, the Bookmen and the Innocence...

The Black Knights, maybe both were mistakes from the past, one of them survived... or not?

Noahtober #24 - Gambit

The Gambit is sacrificing an own piece in begin of the game to bring forward your own tactics. Road did exactly that during the rewinding Town arc as she commanded the Akuma to self destruct just to pain Allen.

I know i did mainly single pieces for the Noah but giving the Bishop to Bookman and his Junior was just too tempting to let it pass. I think this role fits them.

Noahtober Light #4 - Not Black & White

The World is shades of gray. Or maybe even blue? Nothing is set into stone, borders do blurr.

Noahtober #22 - Absolute Pin

You know I gave Mana the "King" position while Nea got the "Queen", the Queen is one of the pieces able to do an absolute pin. The King position here shifts to the Suit, being protected by Mana, forcing Nea to stay still.

Noahtober #21 -Black Rook

The Black Order's Rook is portraied by Lenalee for me, coming up for a new design for them all is ... hard. They uniforms are already such peak designs, i tried to keep them close but change them enough to give them an own twist.

It was overall super interesting to get into Chess (at least a bit) for the Noahtober prompts.

I still have a super interesting site bookmarked I wanted to read about meanings etc I didn't came to yet

Noahtober #20 - Lucky

I had to ponder about this one for a while... as luck in this series is rare. I think one of the most lucky moments is when Allen is allowed to have Tim as friend - while it's bittersweet.

Noahtober #19 - Just a Game. - Really?

I wanted an opposing piece to the 'Just a Game' prompt and I had my mind set on Road vs Lavi during the Ark Arc.
I do wonder if she liked the former Bookman Jr ...

Noahtober #17 - Clock Time

For this prompt I knew Miranda is the choice and what is more fitting than her finding out she can accomodate Innocence as Road decides to introduce herself?

Noahtober #16 - Mistakes

Mistakes are made on both sides of the board, this one was surely a huge mistake on the Noah side, assuming an Exorcist was easy to beat.

Noahtober #15 - Black

To be honest this was difficult, as I had my focus on the white pieces all the time just now shifting to the other side was ... harsh. But I went for a key moment that isn't Noah related ... but is it?

Noahtober Light #3 - Major Piece

As you might know i did some designs for the Noah as Chess Pieces and I was looking forward to draw Mana and Nea in theirs again but didn't came to it, therefore ... I went and drew them both for this prompt <3

Noahtober #14 - White Queen

If you think this wasn't my plan from the start as I made the prompts you are wrong. Nea was the Queen for me from the start, he's the mysterious piece, the one who changed everything.

Noahtober #13 - White King

The King is the Earl. Which Earl is up to you, is it Mana? Is it Adam? Depends on your point of view. Is the the strongest or most important among them? Yes and no.

Noahtober #12 - Just a Game

Maybe this Miner invites you to a game. Maybe it's not the best decision to accept his offer...

Noahtober - #11 Attack

The Earl sending out his Akuma for the next attack. I had considered drawing them in the design I made for this challenge but somehow the og designs seemed more fitting.

Noahtober - #10 White Knight

Hands down, as I made the list I knew this will be Tyki's prompt. I don't have more to say.
