These figures are elegant works of art.

I particularly like the figures for the CamelKnight and the Zebra.

Fergus, I want to commend you for creating these pieces. Brilliant job!

I particularly enjoy playing with the pieces you created especially for Mad Chess. I seem to be the only person who voted for Mad Chess on the poll for the next variants tournament.

Do you have plans to create more abstract pieces? I find it quite refreshing to play with pieces that reflect movement more than symbolism.

Above, you mention 'the Fairy Chess ZRF' - What do you mean by this? Can you create a link?

Very nice, very logical and easy to learn. Though I'm no expert, the
collection seems pretty comprehensive, too.  Just a thought--you could
take piece icons to further abstractions, using mere line combinations to
indicate moves, such as Pawn | Rook +  Queen * (needs 8 points) Bishop X,
etc. You could even call them the Bar, the Plus, the Asterisk, the Eks,
etc.

Abstract sets, in my thinking, are all that's needed for play, yet we
remain childlike and earth- and history-bound enough to still love our
little Kings and Queens and all their little helpers.

Hi, Fergus.  I'm going to make presets for the newly listed Bear Chess (in which the Bear moves as a Squirrel.)  Do you think you could make a Squirrel piece?  I'm thinking modify the Lion maybe?

In the Bear Chess presets, I'll use Squirrels not only because that is what that piece is generally called, but also because "B" for Bear is already used for the Bishop but "S" is not used.

The Rocket piece is supposed to replace the Squirrel. 

Ah, so it is.  Thanks!

As in Rocket J. Squirrel. But I do believe that Rocket is another name for the piece.

I made a new rule-enforcing preset for Shatranj Kamil (64) and wanted to support the abstract graphics, but that required a silver general so I created one. I don't think it is great but it is decent. It will work unless we come up with something better:

I will make a gold general in a similar way at some point unless a better silver general is made.

If you want a scribble too mark the piece as a Silver, why not use an X with an extra line connecting the tips of the upper two legs? That resembles the move pattern.

We could certainly do that.  It would be more obvious and thus might be better.  I did this because it is an adaptation of the graphic for the ferz:

In the abstract set, triangles indicate diagonal moves. I squared the tip of the triangle to indicate the forward wazir move. A silver general could be thought of as a ferz with an additional move. That is how I think of it, but it could also just be thought of as a piece of its own. Your suggetion might be better, especially since Shatranj Kamil (64) has both a ferz and a silver general and the pieces look awful similar.

In that game, the Elephant also has a non-capturing dabbabah move, but the standard elephant graphic is used.

Not sure this is what you meant but this is an alternative:
