Absolute perfection of an Art Book
I rarely if ever leave reviews. The Art and Making of Arcane book is an exception. The love and thought that has been put into this book is immaculate. I just thought I was getting an art book but this thing is an experience. Unbelievable value for what you are paying. The attention to detail on every page and the pages being thick and matted so no reflections take away from the amazing art on every single page. There is a weight to them and slight texture that is wonderful to feel. Little goodies are hidden throughout like blueprints, a map, Jinx wanted poster, etc… I love reading through the history and timelines of how Arcane was brought up and created. This is more than just an art book. It’s a narrative story and a behind the scenes look in the creation of one of the greatest animated shows of all time. Do not sleep on this book!

Perfect for the fans of Arcane
This art book is perfect for any Arcane fans! It’s larger than any other normal book it’s 13 inches (33 cm) by 9.5 inches (24 cm), It’s very heavy and thick, over 200+ pages full with screen grabs, concept art, bts, and text about what the team was trying to create and convey in the show. It has a very unique cover, it’s a hot pink soft plastic vinyl with the cover print on it. But it’s also translucent and shows Jinx on the hard cover of the book!This book has so much information about the behind the scenes process and ideas and concept art for the show. I spent days looking through every page when I first bought this and now a few months later I still find myself going through the book just to admire the art.I recommend this for any new or old fans of Arcane, since it also includes a few extra loose pages like Zander’s letter to Silco, or Jinx’s wanted poster and even some hex-tech blue prints. These extra little goodies could be hung up on the wall or kept in the book itself or even used for scrapbooking! I’d also recommend this book for artists cosplayers or collectors, artists can use this a reference in terms of style studies or to see the creative process, cosplayers can use this as extra reference while making the costume or prop designs. And this is just an amazing piece to have in a collection for the art book collectors out there.

A must-have for arcane fans
The Art of Arcane is a stunning collection of concept art, character designs, and behind-the-scenes insights that bring the show’s breathtaking visuals to life. From Piltover’s grandeur to Zaun’s gritty streets, every page showcases the artistry and passion behind Arcane. The creator commentary adds depth, making this a must-own for fans and artists alike. Worth every penny. <3

An aboslute master piece.
This is one of the best books I have purchased. Full of the fantastic imagery of the show as well as insight into the process. The paper is heavy duty, 120g+ with a lovely texture to it. It is 100% value for the money and time spent waiting for the delivery with a bunch of little presents nestled in between the pages to boot. It is one of my favorite purchases in a while and if you love the show I highly recommend.

Couldn’t be more floored than if I stepped on a wind up monkey
This is one of the absolute coolest, most badass, detailed art books I’ve ever seen. It is packed with detail and everything you love about Arcane, including some extra goodies. I hope Fortiche and Riot Games have long careers and keep making stuff like Arcane and this book. I will absolutely be using this an inspirational reference.

Essential for any Arcane enjoyer
first of all this thing is big. not only in size but it’s thicker than I expected and a lot heavier. there is absolutely no waste of page either, every page is packed with all sorts of cool things to read and look at. character concepts/designs, environment designs, storyboards, prop design, etc. If you enjoy the art and animation of Arcane like me, you’ll be foaming at the mouth looking through this lol. also comes with some nice big foldout pages and some mini posters. The paper and color quality is amazing too. Nice matte pages, a hard cover with transparent pink protective jacket, just MUAH i love this thing.

Must have for arcane fans
I ordered back in December (12/03/24) and finally got it today (03/03/25)! This is massive! I didn’t expect it to be this big and heavy! I enjoyed looking at every single page. It’s so vibrant and packed with information and love the creators have for the show!

Amazing
Best book I’ve ever bought, sooooo worth it. Stunning from beginning to end and it also comes with a few posters which I think is really cool. If you have the chance to buy it do not hesitate to do so!!!

Took forever to arrive and once shipped the delivery was mysteriously delayed by a few days, but it was all worth the wait in the end because this book is stunning. Larger than I thought it would be, the dust jacket is actually some kind of translucent plastic material, and it’s full of extras like, for instance, a map of Piltover, some hextech blueprints, Jinx’s wanted poster, and more, folded up and inserted in the pages so that as I flip through, these bits and pieces keep falling out like secret notes.
