If you’ve ever paused mid-match to admire a splash art in League of Legends, there’s a decent chance Paul “Zeronis” Kwon had a hand in it. Now his portfolio is being bound between covers in Reminiscent: Art of Zeronis, a deluxe hardcover published by Clover Press that pulls together the character work and illustration that made the artist a fixture of Riot’s roster.
This isn’t a slim gallery pamphlet. The book runs to 152 pages in hardcover form, giving Zeronis’s dense, high-contrast style room to breathe. His work leans hard into dramatic silhouettes and cinematic lighting — the kind of pieces that look like frozen frames from an action sequence — so the larger canvas of a printed page suits it far better than a thumbnail in a client patch.
For collectors who want more than a shelf edition, Clover Press is also producing a premium limited edition housed in a slipcase. Slipcased runs like this tend to be the version fans chase, since they pair the same interior with sturdier protective packaging and a more display-worthy presentation.
A few things worth knowing about how this one is coming to market:
- Publisher: Clover Press, a company that has built a reputation on high-end art collections and curated reprints
- Format: 152-page deluxe hardcover
- Special edition: a premium limited version in a slipcase
- Funding: the title was announced alongside a Kickstarter campaign set to launch at a later date
The crowdfunding route is a familiar one for art books of this caliber. It lets a publisher gauge demand before committing to a print run, and it typically unlocks the kind of extras — bonus prints, higher-tier bundles, stretch goals — that make backing worthwhile for the people most invested. As of now, the campaign had not yet gone live, and details on backer tiers and pricing weren’t available.
What makes a project like this land is the subject rather than the specs. Game art books occupy a strange middle ground: they preserve work that most players only ever see compressed and cropped inside a live-service game, work that’s often produced under punishing deadlines and then quietly retired when the next patch rolls out. Collecting one artist’s contributions in a single volume treats that output as what it is — a body of illustration worth studying on its own terms.
For League devotees, that’s the real pitch here. Zeronis’s fingerprints are on characters and splash pieces that millions of players have stared at without ever knowing the name behind them. Reminiscent is the book that finally puts that name on the cover, and gives his art the kind of physical permanence a game client never can.
