All three will look absolutely gorgeous in print, I’m sure. Still divided between Memories in Green and Chess though.
Any more detailed images / close ups to share? With Lau’s art the devil usually is in the details. That close up of the chess in Twitter is

Great info jvwoodford! Really excited at the prospect of a Chess Set based on Blade Runner, and all the possibilities there. Another cracking idea for use of the property.
Regarding Tyrell's set, I came across this nugget on Reddit:
"I don't think it's ever been conclusively identified, although research by various people on the PropSummit forum has indicated that it's probably a very, very valuable genuine antique set, loaned to the production (anecdotally it had its own security guard!). It's possibly made by either the company La Bottega del Vasari or Giuseppe Vasari, and has a Napoleonic theme, possibly in the Italian 'Firense' style. There have been sightings in shops and at auctions of sets that are close (usually selling for between $5,000 to $50,000+ !!) but the actual set has never been found. Like the whereabouts of Deckard's blaster remained for so long, it's a fascinating mystery that may one day be solved!"
