"Still have yet to decide on a design for the Spy; since we're not worried about it".
You can add the checker with the same diameter under Pawn and do nothing!
But there is one impotent thing which you must to do.
It is your interest to publish on picture of the chess set the
name of author and producer and get the license and the patent.
You can sale the chess set with great profit on eBay, Amazon or elsewhere.
Excuse me but there's a clear disproportion.
Can you reduce the size of Rook and Queen?

In Waterloo, the Queen piece is identical to the Amazonia (Knight and (actual) Queen powers combined). It's fine that we call it the "Queen", but typically, but I'm used to seeing the Amazonia piece being taller than the King piece to pronounce the "doom" that she will wreak on the board; ever since, I design all 3d renders of her being of "titan's height" compared to the rest of the chess pieces.
(Take note: the Waterloo Advisor is the real Queen piece (all directions without Knight); the design is exactly the same as what a Queen would look like.)
As for the Rook, it is a characteristic feature of my designs to make the Rook as tall or Taller than the King piece; just to create the "tower" effect. (On another note, it also creates a height curvature in the line up of the pieces in the back rank, which I think looks kind of hip!)
On the other hand, if it is confusing to you, I can reduce its height to that of the Knight's. Please let me know if you still want me to do that.
I understand. The contemporary art isn't my business. I trust you and your skill. Do as you are thinking.
Wonderful. We shall then continue. =)
