Ruined King: A League of Legends Story Announcement Trailer and Character Art Reveal by Joe Madureira

Big day for League of Legends fans and Joe Madureira fans! The wait is finally over for the reveal of Ruined King: A League of Legends Story. Developed by Airship Syndicate and Riot Forge, the Ruined King is a narrative driven single-player turn-based RPG (very much like Battle Chasers: Nightwar and Darksiders: Genesis) where a group of champions work together to benefit the lands of Runeterra. The story is set in two regions of Runeterra, a port town populated by sea monster hunters, dock gangs, and smugglers called Bilgewater; and a cursed land filled of deadly black mist which corrupts all those who come in contact with it known as the Shadow Isles.

The champions include: Miss Fortune, Illaoi, Braum, Pyke, Ahri and Yasuo. Drawn by Joe Mad below!

The game is coming early 2021 to Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, Xbox One, Steam, the Epic Games Store, and soon after to Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X|S (Owners of the PS4/Xbox One version can upgrade for free to next-gen).

Art Advice 2.0 from Joe Madureira

Joe Madureira has continued voicing his art advice with details on what gear he uses, his influences, and skills needed for working in the game or comic industry. Art Advice 2.0 Now for the specific art questions I do get very often: 1-I use a technical pencil with HB lead 99% of the time. Staedler, Koo-in-oor, Prismacolor Turquoise, it’s all good. Take your pick. I use them all. Sometimes I work on paper that’s a little different ( smoother or more coarse ) and I may move up or down to an H or a B lead if needed. But I find H and 2H digs into the pap er and is too hard to erase ( Which sadly I do a lot of ) and B is too soft ( smudges like a mofo.) B is fantastic for going back over lines, darkening , and adding weight to your lines. Basically, ‘inking’ with a pencil. **Just keep a sheet of scrap paper under your hand or you will smudge the shit out of your drawing!!!** HB suits my needs 99% of the time. Really no need to switch it out, just adjust your pressure. Harder or...

Ruined King: A League of Legends Story Character Concept Art By Joe Madureira, Coloured by Grace Liu

There's a few pieces of character concept art by Joe Madureira and our favourite colourist/artist Grace Liu from the 'Ruined King: A League of Legends Story.' Check them out below! Here's what Grace had to say on her artstation post , "As a long-time League player (started before I joined Riot about 8 years ago, and still am one), it was really fun to see Joe Mad's take on League champions. Special call-out for Yasuo, I never liked that champion (do people still joke about Yasuo players anymore? Wow I feel old.) However, seeing Joe's take on his personality in both art and writing has completely changed my mind. Most of these are color support on Joe's lineworks. What an honor"

Wayfinder Character Artwork by Joe Madureira

I've collected as much artwork as I could find from Airship Syndicate's new game Wayfinders that I believe is Joe Madureira's work. Enjoy the collection! First he's some early concept art for Project Skylight (Which is now Wayfinder). Next here's some marketing artwork for the game featuring the main heros (aka Wayfinders). Here's some high resolution images of the individual Wayfinders: Wingrave The Seeker Wingrave is a templar clad in spell-forged armor and sustained by his faith in the Architects. He's a natural leader and true champion, always ready to defend the innocent and to smite the forces of evil. Silo The Tactician Swift and precise, Silo makes every shot count. Born into a family of smugglers, he spent his life running under the radar and challenging tyrants. Now he's using those same skills to fight the Gloom. Silo loves long odds—the greater the challenge, the greater the thrill. Niss The Shadow Dancer Niss is kin to the shadows, and ...
