If you've ever marveled at the sleek design of Ahri or the fierce elegance of Vi in League of Legends, you've witnessed the genius of Paul "Zeronis" Kwon. Now, fans can dive deep into his creative mind with Reminiscent: Art of Zeronis, a stunning 152-page collection that's currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter.
A Legendary Career in Gaming Art
Zeronis, a graduate of the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, has been a cornerstone of Riot Games for years. His portfolio includes some of the most recognizable characters in gaming, from the nine-tailed fox Ahri to the Piltover enforcer Vi and the doll-like Gwen. Beyond champions, he's also the creative force behind the virtual K-pop sensation K/DA and the beloved Star Guardian skin line, which has captured players' hearts worldwide.
His influence extends beyond League of Legends, with work on titles like Honor of Kings and Arena of Valor. And if you've watched the acclaimed Netflix series Arcane, you've seen his character designs brought to life in stunning animation. The show, which concluded its second season in 2024, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Zeronis' creations.
What's Inside 'Reminiscent'?
This isn't just a collection of game concept art. Reminiscent offers a rare glimpse into Zeronis' personal sketchbook, featuring fan art and personal pieces that showcase his versatility and artistic evolution. The book is a celebration of his unique style—a blend of stylized fantasy and grounded realism that has made his characters so memorable.
Kickstarter backers can snag a deluxe edition housed in an elegant slipcase, with higher tiers offering exclusive perks like print sets, sticker sheets, a numbered lithograph, and even high-end acrylic prints. It's a treasure trove for collectors and fans alike.
Clover Press: The Publisher Behind the Project
Clover Press, known for its high-quality art books and comics, is spearheading this campaign. They've made a name for themselves with crowdfunded projects, including reprints of classic comic strips and original graphic novels. Recently, they've partnered with Marvel to continue the Marvel Masterworks series, a beloved line that had been on hiatus. Their track record suggests Reminiscent will be a top-tier production.
For those who appreciate the artistry behind gaming, this is a must-have. The campaign runs for only three more weeks, ending at midnight ET on October 2. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of gaming history.
