Epic Statue: Lucian, the Purifier

Riot·4/26/2016, 10:14:38 PM·9 votes·67,876 views

This past weekend at PAX East we unveiled our latest epic statue: Lucian, the Purifier. As with our other epic statues we collaborated with the amazing Steve Wang and Alliance Studio to bring Lucian to life. Steve and his world-class crew worked closely with Riot utilizing concept and splash art, in-game models, animation, lore and even fan art to get the light-slinging widower’s brooding, determined look just right.



And here he is in his final form cutting through Shadow Isles undead, his dual pistols spitting righteous fury.

Some quick and dirty facts about the Purifier:

  • Lucian’s total height is 9′ 6″ (taller than Annie & Tibbers)
  • Lucian’s crated weight is 600 lbs.
  • Lucian was made with clay, resin, steel, wood, leather, velvet, lace, glass, hair and more
  • Lucian’s hair alone took over 30 hours

Were you at PAX? Did you get a picture with Lucian? Let us know in the comments below!

If Riot made a smaller version of this and put it in their merchandise shop, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Amazing I love the amount of detail that went into it.[zombie-nunu-hearts]

That may be one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. My question to riot though is how is the statue balanced. It looks like the Lucian should be falling over. But really good job. I think I speak for most of us when I say this but tell us all if it ever goes on sale. Also make mini versions and but it in the shop. Lucian

I never comment on anything. I logged in just to give mad props to the artist. That's an amazing piece of work.

"Lucian was made with clay, resin, steel, wood, leather, velvet, lace, glass, hair and more" What they don't tell you is that the resin was not part of the statue, but something the crew used while making the statue. Which is why the hair took 30 hours alone.
