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).

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...
