Here are the two cohesive pieces side-by-side:ījerg also appears in the art for Ancient Yeti, where he’s discovered an enormous creature encased in a block of ice he’s referred to as Bjerg the Wanderer in the flavor text, a slightly less insulting cognomen.Īnd Icy Yeti, where he can be seen fleeing for his life from a now enraged beast who has escaped from the block of ice. You can see Bjerg’s hand reaching for her in the Kindly Tavernkeeper art as well. “Up there in the mountains! Teeth as big as tombstones!īony fingers encased in a fingerless glove reaching for the nearest warm body. “Y-You’ve gotta believe me! It was huge, I tell you, HUUUGE!” Bjerg, who apparently the locals have labeled pejoratively with the nickname “Babbling,” blathers as he storms through the front door of the tavern, eyes wide as saucers, snow drifting from his long, grey beard. Legends of Runeterra has some remarkable examples of this, including cards with cohesive, synchronous art sequences like Babbling Bjerg/Kindly Tavernkeeper.
Narrative art is one of my favorite types of art because it can utilize the power of its visuals to tell a story and invoke emotions. Just an innocent little, phantasmal girl swinging from a contorted, dead tree, right?
LEGENDS OF RUNETERRA PUBLISHER FULL
Much like the Chillwind Yeti or Fen Creeper card art from Hearthstone, Phantom Prankster is a card where the fragment of the illustration chosen for its focus belies the full picture of what’s really going on.įor instance, here’s what Phantom Prankster’s card looks like: Love the contrast between the bruise-colored skyline and the charcoal mountains with the wintry lighting of Anivia’s glacial-feathered form. Swooping through the cold tundra like a more beastly version of Articuno, this glacier-blue cryophoenix looks every bit as intricate and stunning as a finely honed ice sculpture and as deadly as a harpy eagle. My pride and my soul, my White-Eyes Blue Bird. (All art, unless otherwise specified comes courtesy of the Berlin-based art team SIXMOREVODKA, who signed exclusively with Riot Games in 2014.) Anivia My favorite Legends of Runeterra artĪlthough it was difficult to narrow it down to just the list below, as every single piece rendered by SIXMOREVODKA is breathtaking stuff, here’s my favorite Legends of Runeterra art so far. TL DR: I’m rating the Legends of Runeterra art based on vibes and the first impression the artwork and character give me, not necessarily how the card’s in-game effect equates to the character’s lore or playstyle in League of Legends. Unfortunately, I don’t have that kind of knowledge when it comes to League of Legends/ Legends of Runeterra, so I’m pretty much going in blind. I know a decent amount when it comes to World of Warcraft lore, so playing Hearthstone and laying down cards like Hogger, Ragnaros the Firelord and Sylvanas Windrunner brought with it an added layer of fulfillment. With that being said, another disclaimer: Hearthstone is what got me into playing collectible card games this newfound love for CCGs instilled by Hearthstone is what made me gravitate towards Legends of Runeterra, which I’m excited to give a try. I have an aesthetic appreciation for the game’s presentation, art style and visuals, as well as the flavor and charisma of the characters - but for some reason I just never got around to actually playing the game. We didn't want to do an injustice to fans of the world of League of Legends by forcibly trying to make it conform to our needs.Let me open this with a disclaimer: I’ve played League of Legends for all of fifteen minutes.
"In other words, guns were the star of the show and in Runeterra, magic was the star of the show. "Our game had physical, weighty guns that fired like real life weaponry and our abilities were not designed to dominate the battlefield over these guns," Ziegler says. The world of Valorant is, he asserts, wholly separate from League of Legends, and the team found it difficult to reconcile key aspects of Runeterra with the environment it wanted for Valorant. It was an idea that the Valorant's Game Director Joe Ziegler told me the team considered, but ultimately discarded. But unlike the others that have been announced, Valorant doesn't take place in or around the world of its international MOBA sensation, League of Legends. Is there something you think we should be reporting on? Email Games' upcoming tactical shooter Valorant is one of many games in development at the studio.
