Review: SMASH THE PURCHASE BUTTON!!!! - You like arcane? Stop thinking and purchase it. Just go for it. The pages are thick and premium, artwork is gorgeous. I mean it is Arcane, who am i kidding. Separate dedicated panels for almost every category like topside, topside design, Caitlyn, champions and weapon tech. The separate pink cover does get scratches, but thats what it is for. 10/10 purchase for an obsessed arcane fan. Review: Fantabulous!!!! - Been an Arcane pure fan, I felt immense joy and content upon receiving this wonderful artbook. This is my first imported purchase. WORTH IT TOTALLY!!!

Fantastic !!!!
Absolutely brilliant- it is a work of art and a must have for the fans. In depth record of the origins and how the story/characters etc progressed over time with story boards, behind the scenes and much more. Extra materials eg posters, pull out maps etc. make it even more exciting.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous art book. 9.5/10
Every aspect of the design is gorgeous. The pink acetate jacket jacket has a very striking effect on the cover art. It's a bit larger than your typical art of book. While it may not be to everyone's taste, I absolutely love the infusion of the Jinx hallucinations/graffiti look scattered throughout the entire book, I think it gives the volume a unique look that fits the vibe of Arcane's aesthetics beautifully. The actual art of course is top notch, as the book offers insights into how they adapted the subject matter from the games into a tv environment. While the text is a little too celebratory to Riot Games for my taste, the text by Elisabeth Vincentelli offers some valuable insight into the making of the series. There is also one drawback. While the end of the book credits all of the current employees at Riot Games and Fortiche, particular works are not credited to specific artists. This is a standard for most art of books, so that's a massive oversight. Despite those drawbacks, this is one of my favourite art books in my library, so I feel like the shortcomings aren't enough to detract the five star ratings. Hopefully this book will be back in print soon, I pre-ordered this, but did not receive a copy until February 17th, 2025. Highly recommended to any fan of the show, or people who like art of books in general.
