There aren’t enough words to describe how fantastic and gorgeous this book is. I’d been eyeing it for a while, and when I saw it was on sale, my heart leapt. I haven’t had time to thoroughly go through the text, though I can tell it’s very detailed and shows a fascinating look at behind the scenes. The quality of the art within this book cannot be understated, and I absolutely love the two-page and four-page spreads of landscapes from the show. I also missed the extras in the product information, so I was very pleasantly surprised to find loose pages of hextech blueprints, Jinx’s wanted poster, Vander’s letter to Silco, a paint stencil for Jinx’s monkey bomb sigil, and a map of Piltover!!! I wish we could also see a map of just the undercity, but I’m very happy at least seeing where Zaun is in relation to Piltover. My favorite page so far is the disc concept art, including the famous timebomb fairies that look inspired by Stromae and Pomme, the musicians featured in the timebomb episode.
Also, the bottom-right corner of the dust jacket was damaged during shipping, though that feels more to do with handling during shipping. It came wrapped in clear plastic and encased within bubble wrap, so perhaps when it was wrapped for shipping, the corner was bent and it simply stayed that way until delivery.
Anyways, it’s a minor detail and I don’t mind it too much personally. THE ART IS SO BEAUTIFUL! And the pink ribbon for a bookmark was very clever and will be helpful as I read.

Zaten iki sezonuda ağzım açık izlemiştim. Artbookununda bu derece iyi olacağını düşünerek gelir gelmez aldım. Hem hızlı hem sağlam geldi fiyatıda zaten uygundu. Serinin arka planını merak ediyorsanız ve ya sadece çizimlere bile bakarım diyorsanız mutlaka alın. Bir çizer için kutsal kitap 🙂

El libro es único y maravilloso. Casi cualquier pregunta, duda o curiosidad que pudieras tener o ni siquiera te habías preguntado tiene respuesta en sus páginas. Desde inspiraciones para los diseños, influencias, referencias… Toda la historia de Arcane está aquí. Lo he visto todo por encima y los únicos que dejan malas reseñas son porque lo pidieron en preventa y les llegó tarde. Deberían cambiar su reseña, porque el producto no es el servicio. Creo que su precio, 40€, está más que bien merecido. Se venden libros normales, de sólo texto y tapa dura por 30€. Este precio me parece una ganga para la calidad y contenido, así como los extras (mapa, plantilla etc). Me hubiera encantado pa edición portfolio, pero se sale de mi presupuesto. Podían haber sacado otra edición un poco más intermedia y sí la hubiera comprado. He comprado la versión en inglés porque no me fío de las traducciones ni el acabado que le podrían haber dado a la imagen una editorial española. Ojalá más cosas de Arcane pronto (y asequibles)!

Veio muito bem embalado, com muita proteção ao produto. Esse Artbook é simplesmente lindo, desde do material dele a até a encadernação, recomendo muito para quem ama ARTE, e claro, para quem quer adquirir muito conhecimento de como foi o processo de criação de Arcane.

Really cool book, just as advertised. Just happy to finally being able to snag one. Been eyeing them so long and did pre-order from a local shop which ending up getting cancelled. Saw it here here on and ordered. Got it fast and in perfect condition.

Excellent quality of an artbook- it should set a new standard. A lot of goodies inside, really fun design. Couldn’t recommend enough for both fans of the show and people who appreciate good bookmaking.
