The birth of two variants: Apothecary chess 1 & Apothecary chess 2[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

Hello again Fergus,

I have completed one diagram for an initial position for apothecary 1 and apothecary 2. I'm not happy with the results, though because I cannot find all the needed pictures in one place. I used alfaerie but there is no picture that will reasonably represent the aanca for example (I used reversed bishop but I'm not very happy with that). No other set is better suited IMO. Is there a way I build a custom apothecary set that will have all the pictures I need? I know apropiate pictures exist on the website from H.G.'s diagram designer, but I don't know how to use them myself. My skills in html also border zero, so please be patient (you usually are) with your explanation.

Here is what I need:

King

Pawn

Aanca

Griffin

Archbishop

Chancellor

Queen

Rook

Joker/fool

knight

bishop

champion

wizard

zebra

elephant

camel

In total 16, there are 27 letters in the alphabet so I gues I'm coverred.

Thanks!
