Some random lines here and there
There is some shading here and there, and some shine effects as well, but the lines on the grey and around the board are a little strange.
To me they don't truly serve a purpose other than being little distracting. The shine effects on the lines connecting the individual checker board parts are a bit strange as well.
But it's not to bad though, you've got a good start here. Just keep up the work. =3

Not bad...
This is a nice picture, but nothing too eye-catching (a corner of a checkerboard O.o). Not a bad start, though.
The colours are the best things about this subission. I really liked that you put in blue, and the different shades of it were perfect, plus the red and grey contrasted well with each other. I also liked that you didn't just keep one shade of red or grey regarding the tiles, but in the middle of the tiles you put in different shades of the colour.
The concept is wierd. I can see the checkerboard, but I don't really see anything that has to do with chess except the title at the bottom left. Also, this was a little simple. Why don't you put chess pieces on the tiles, so that you'll be giving the theme of checkers with the board and the theme of chess with the pieces, and maybe even draw a hand about to pick a chess piece up. It'd lessen the simplicity of this picture, and give it more to look at than just a corner of a checkerboard on a blue background.
The tiles weren't the same size, as mentioned in the other reviews. If you look closely enough, you could see that the lines aren't parallel and some tiles are smaller than others which ruined the picture a fair bit, IMO. Also, you drew some unnecessary lines, such as the lines around the checkerboard and the lines on the grey tiles. Also, every tile corner shining was quite wierd too, maybe you could say why you put it there in the Author's Comments, or take it away entirely. 3D effect was cool though.
When it comes to the background, I disagree with Joshsouza, I think it was well done. The blue background fit well in the picture, and it wasn't that simple either, but had some nice texture to it. The only wierd thing was that the blue lost its texture and remained one shade of blue when it got close to the checkerboard. The frame around the picture was nice, but maybe you could check if when you take it off, it looks better.
It has its problems, like uneven tiles, lines that aren't parallel, and some wierd things like bright corners and one shade of blue when close to the checkerboard, but the background in general was cool, and the colours were excellent. Not a bad job overall.
7/10

Looks strange
Is it just me or are the lines on the chessboard not parallel? This looks pretty weird. Also, the titles all seem to have a different size.
Just like the two before me said, it's kind of weird that all four corners of a square are lit, this doesn't look too good.
However, I like the background you chose. The colour fits quite nicely to the gray squares and it builds up a nice contrast to the red squares.

Not bad
Not exactly the sort of clarity that I was expecting, but wouldn't it be something where the squares are the same dimensions? I know that you can cite perspective, but it doesn't quite work for me.
I'd suggest that you look at the shadows cat on the board, perhaps making the corner highlights only on one corner of the squares, rather than the way they fall on corresponding corners - it just doesn't seem physically right. With the shadows that play across the tiles, it seems that you've done different abstract patterns in each tile, but I would suggest that they are made more similar - just to show that imperfections in the piece would change the reflections, but not majorly.
I'd have suggested a shadow being cast by one side of the board, fulfilling the 3D effect and the border is quite nice. I'm not sure about taking up so much space with the title, though the signature is nice and well displayed.

Hey coop thanks for the review i know what ya mean, to be totally honest this was just a test art piece i made several years ago when RG was up, my other ones are abit better
hope to ge more reviews on my ar stuffs thank you in advance

Kind of boring really
It seriously isn't hard to draw an edge of a chess board and it doesn't make sense that there is a shine on every corner of a tile. All tyhis really is is lines exceptt the text and your logo. Anyone would think of this too but at least you did it in 3-D. I doubt you put much effort into this but i still scouted you anyways. Also, why did you put a frame on it? it doesn't make it look any better. So is the boring blue backround. I don't know what else to say so here is the overall score:
Effort 4/10
Originality 2/10
Concept 4/10
Design 3/10
You should make better things then this.
I tend to like borders in my art stuffs, thank you for the review, be sure to checkout my other 2 art pieces, i posted up Checkerboard #1 and another drawing, i respond o all reviews hanks again
