I made a League of Legends chess set for my boyfriend and thought you’d all enjoy it too!

Full post with process video

I drew everything using Illustrator, cut it on 3mm plywood, and glued parchment paper to each piece of the box, allowing for different opacities which results in a cool effect when light passes through; the loot box alone could work as a lampshade! The Noxus pieces have the stands shaded in so that they’re more easily recognizable as the “black” pieces.

All pieces can be stored on trays in the loot box. Leaving a lot of empty space inside means that I can always add more themes (Ionia, Freljord, etc.) if I feel up for it! My only regret is that I didn’t make the pieces double-sided because of a time crunch, which would’ve made the set easier to play with. The project took about 40 hours from design to assembly, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out!

Demacia:

Pawn = Blue Caster Minion

King = Jarvan IV

Queen = Fiora

Knight = Kayle, Shyvana

Bishop = Sona, Lux

Rook = Blue Turret (with plating)

Noxus:

Pawn = Red Caster Minion

King = Swain

Queen = Cassiopeia

Bishop = LeBlanc, Vladimir

Knight = Darius, Talon

Rook = Red Turret (with plating)
