Hello. If you read this IronStylus I just wanted to say I just watched the Art Spotlight for the upcoming champion, Xerath, the Magus Ascendant, and I just loved how he looked.

If you were in charge of drawing him or just picture how he would like, props to you good sir! (and your parrots/birds). Such an awesome job! (and ofc grats to everyone else who helped make him possible).

I haven't been this hyped for a new champion in a while... and I just love mages... and this one just looks soooo kickass.... heck I'm even thinking of making him my new main withouth even knowing how he will work out.... based purely on how amazing he looks!

Again props and can't wait to see him in action in the Champion Spotlight!!!

EDIT: here's the link for anyone who has not seen how magnificent this new champ looks like:

Also... +1 and bump this thread if you just LOVE how Xerath looks in the Art Spotlight and can't wait to try him!

Luckily, when Kienan Lafferty told us he’d just finished the perfect Art Spotlight for Xerath, he wasn’t just yanking our chain!

Please enjoy this high-speed rendition of Kienan Lafferty showing us how the artwork for Xerath, the Magus Ascendant, really breaks the mold.

Yes, this splash was done by Kienan, aka Knockmaw on the forums here. He's a fantastic artist!

However, on the flip side, I was responsible for Xerath's concept design =)
