Because it wasn't made by riot themselves but I must admit it looks very nice

I'm pretty sure this is official art, some is actually on the Universe page

ok, didn't know about that :p Maybee because the soldier's armor is quite a bit different from the traditional champions we know of from Demacia? Garen and lux have a lot more color, this one is mostly only silver-colored with a blue cape?

I remember seeing the pages of some of these concept artisits, and they appeared cited as Riot workers.

Lewl, it was, one of the art that is on that artstation link was used as background art for Jarvan IVs main bio.

They also don't have alot of art of things they really should have. Like the wyvern riders from the Demacia update, that's something we need to see.

Silverwing Raptors are griffon-esque, not wyverns.

From the Galio nexus page. https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2017/03/champ-insights-galio-the-colossus/

"When Demacian knights rode to war,” says Lonewingy, “they were protected by the anti-magical properties emitting from the statue.” With this aura in place, few could throw the Knights from their mounts, the legendary ebony wyverns. Thus, the sculptor Durand specifically designed Galio to look like a chimeric combination of knights and wyverns, to signify the unity of Demacian warrior and beast.

When your source is just a Nexus post, over the fact that Raptors are actively mentioned within the lore and we have art for them.

Honestly Im more inclined to say Gem just misspoke, since "wyverns" share similar features to Silverwing Raptors. Avian Wyverns I guess.

Demacian armor is so stupidly designed lol

Also this is just a concept of the armor, it being a concept probably displays that is it was not a final design chosen to be displayed.

Maybe they're not promoting it because they know that would be horrible armor that would restrict movement in a way no warrior would want?

Yeah, I'm not buying that either. No idea why they wouldn't show it.

Might be layout and design appeal.

Looking at the warrior, the background isn't complimenting the universe and it's a concept BTW. The description says so.

The way that his armor and face are like it reminds of the Grineer from Warframe lol, also because the artist works at Riot it doesn't mean that all of his/her arts are official, they can still be individual arts published seperately from the company
