From snow-frosted peaks in the Freljord to the arid wastes of the Shurima desert; from portly, ale-aficionados like Gragas to eldritch terrors like Vel’koz, the world of Runeterra and League of Legends is a mélange of vistas and villains sure to push all of your inspiration-buttons. At Riot, they take art serious and silly…
