Look at the black king of a chess font. For instance merida font. What do you see? Might be white king is looking like a monkey too. But I did not get that association.

I was busy for hours drawing a black king and I thought it was a total failure for it looked more like a motorhead skull. But it is because all black chess kings look weird.

Image of white bishop is for Carnaval. Something wrong with shoulders or epaulettes or what is it. Makes it look funny.
