Belle is from a game called Zenless Zone Zero (ZZZ). In ZZZ, you collect characters through the "signal search" feature, which previews the rarity of the characters you get by showing glowing "B", "A", and "S" on a stack of TVs. I thought it would be cool to emulate this with the stack of TVs that Belle is standing on.

Despite some small issues, I'm really happy with how this turned out. I created some custom stencils using in-game assets. This was all done with my airbrush using Liquitex inks, Golden high-flow acrylics, and Kaleido paints.

In other news, I bought a set of Mindwork's heavy body acrylics and have been experimenting with them on the base pieces. So far, I'm really enjoying using them. Hopefully, they don't clash with the cell-shaded style I'm using for Belle and Eos, but it's not uncommon to see painted backgrounds in anime.

I also finished her shoes and repainted parts of her skirt.

This week will be more base painting and just general polishing. I'm getting close!
