Joe Madureira Reveals the Ruined King: A League of Legends Story Collector's Edition Print

If you ordered the 'Ruined King: A League of Legends Story' Collected Edition, here's the print by Joe Madureira included with the bundle. It's a gorgeous piece featuring Illaoi and Gangplank. Check it out below!

Joe tweeted, "Hey I can finally share this! One of my favorite drawings recently, this was for a print included in the Ruined King collector’s edition. Illaoi & GP in simpler times. It’s nice to break from action stuff and try to capture moments like these. #illaoi #gangplank @AirshipSyn"

Joe also shared some rough sketches for the piece and said, " I liked the idea of portraying Illaoi as much younger and more vulnerable (before she became Kraken Priestess) but it felt too unlike her character."

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 ...
