Book Synopsis



Filled with gorgeous illustrations and concept art from the hit Netflix series, The Art and Making of Arcane is an immersive journey behind the scenes of the Emmy Award-winning Animated Series!

The Art and Making of Arcane takes readers through the visual journey of Riot Games' and Fortiche's revolutionary animated series. Featuring early art styles, evolving character designs, and jaw-dropping worldbuilding artwork, this volume is the definitive compendium of Arcane's creative process and vision.

Arcane and League of Legends fans alike will be amazed by the visual development of fan-favorite champions, the breathtaking cityscapes of Piltover and Zaun, and the riveting inventions of hextech and Shimmer.

This book includes early designs showing how characters evolved visually, gorgeous vistas of sprawling background and setting art, and interviews with over 20 key animators, writers, directors, artists, game designers, musicians, and other creators.

EXCLUSIVE ACETATE COVER: The Art and Making of Arcane comes with an acetate jacket exclusive to this edition.

IN-WORLD EXTRAS: This stunning tome will also come with a trove of in-world extras. All editions of the book will include a Jinx poster, a removable map of Piltover, an in-world blueprint, a Vander Letter, fold-out spreads showcasing content from seasons one and two, and more.

ORIGINAL ART: Features beautiful, never-before-seen concept art that helped adapt the global blockbuster video game into a critically acclaimed animated series.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEWS: Hear from the development teams at Riot Games and Fortiche on the groundbreaking process that brought the world of Runeterra into the cinematic limelight.

GO BEHIND THE SCENES: Filled with both behind-the-scenes looks at the inspiration and iteration of the people and places in Arcane, breakdowns of key scenes, and a deep dive into Fortiche's artisanal animation style, The Art and Making of Arcane chronicles the incredible work and talent that went into crafting such a dynamic and instantly iconic series.

Fantastic Book!

My daughter has been waiting to get this book for a long time because it sold out everywhere. She finally found it in stock and $20 cheaper from Target, plus it arrived in a few short days after ordering. She is thrilled and LOVES it!

Stupid Target

Target cancelled my pre-order without my permission after stringing me along since November waiting for this book. Horrible experience and waste of time

Waste of time

Target cancelled my order even though I preordered it on 11/17/2024. They kept giving a later and later shipping date and then it switched to backorder. They kept sending emails for me to manually approve the delay of the order which I had to keep up with. After months, they've now cancelled the order without my permission. They should have never listed it as a preorder if it wasn't available. It was a waste of time and gave false hope since it's now sold out everywhere.

Cancelled Preorder after 2 months of waiting

Target cancelled my order without my permission, even though it was preordered in November. Get this book through Amazon instead. Bad experience.
