Description
Zed is a character is rightfully owned by Riot Games.

Note: I DID NOT use actual ink. I mixed black acrylic paint with water, until it had an ink-like feel. It seems to work well enough, although I must say I am still very new to ink wash and will need some more practice lol. Perhaps I will revisit this one I'm better?

I bought some Japanese calligraphy paper and brushes some time ago and had planned to paint this for a while. Ironically, I have never actually played Zed? I played a lot of Cho'gath and Shen years ago when I used to play League of Legends. Expect more of these types of art to come out in the future (I gotta do SOMETHING with the paper lol).

//How I painted this//
1. Sourced a picture of Zed from the internet and traced and sketched on paper
2. Rubbing graphite on the back of the sketch of Zed, I retrace on top of the calligraphy paper to transfer it
3. The same process was applied with the Japanese character for "shadow" (Unfortunately I'm not familiar enough to actually write it freehand. I also don't seem to have the right brush in the moment)
4. And that's it! Wait till it's dry and it's done
