I just can't do it! I'm definitely overthinking it, but all the other designs seemed to perfectly personify their respective piece.I want the queen to be:
*same height (and roughly width) as King
*somewhat less ornate than King (as the Queen is typically worth 'less', also reference to nature - the male species being the more decorated in order to attract)
*feminine (so she can be differentiated from the King)
*but tough (because she is so active in protecting the King)
This page reflects the endless variations and process of refinement I went through in trying to create the perfect concoction for the Queen piece (adding, subtracting, rotating and revolving a million different lines and triangles is getting tiring considering the fact that although the pieces reflect a three dimensional paper form, they are nothing but lines on the screen, and could probably never be coherently translated into physical forms, but i'm willing to get over that for the sake of the concept). I liked the fan shape because it felt very feminine and delicate but the sharp points were a must in armouring her. She needed to have a similar structure to the King so they could be very closely tied. But what about a sharply cinched, wasp-waist no-nonsense femininity? After giving up and sending the production of all my thoughts to Matt, he simply replied: 
Perfect! Someone else can do the thinking for me!
