Custom BCMShogi graphics

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been making any posts on here lately. I've been busy getting ready for school to start and making my Shogi Proverbs videos.

Today I happened to find the pen for my tablet, which I lost several months ago. So while I was wondering what I could do with it, I came up with the idea to make my own graphics for BCMShogi. As you might know, I don't have Kinki or Ryoko pieces; my personal sets (all of them) are Kinryuu style.



And since I thought it would be nice to play in BCMShogi with my own pieces, I made my own with my tablet:





This is how it looks in the program:





I think it looks pretty good.

Internationalized shogi sets

Hi everyone. Hidetchi brought up in his Shogi Topics series the topic of internationalized pieces. Recently I've also been considering what should be used to introduce shogi to people who don't want to learn kanji, so I'm glad he brought it up in a video. He even drew and proposed his own set. So check it out.



You can find the first set mentioned here, and the third set here (Japanese).
