[Belle Cosplay] Street Record of Zenless Zone Zero's Legendary Proxy in New Eridu

Putting on this outfit that fills me with motivation to explore, starting the record from a street perspective in New Eridu.

For this Belle cosplay, the areas requiring the most care were the wig's texture and restoring garment layering. That short blue hair needed trimming to a curvature perfectly framing the face, while various outfit details—like frog buttons, black sleeve cover paneling, and the game controller prop at the waist—were items whose positions I repeatedly adjusted. When shooting the first set in the hallway, I tried a half-crouch composition; it not only shows the full outfit, but also naturally brings out the Anime-style fashion vibe paired with white stockings and black platform shoes from this angle, which I feel better presents the character's energetic aura.

The other framing set in the ramen shop was meant to show a more casual side to everyone. Grabbing chopsticks while it's piping hot offers a genuine eating feel with more narrative quality than posed shots. I personally really love the unfiltered texture in Photo 5, preserving the most natural colors of both food and subject.

In terms of retouching, I kept the hand-drawn style sticker accents in the first set to add a touch of ACG playfulness while ensuring Photo 4 remained clean as the main cover. Overall makeup this time leaned clear and translucent; green contact lenses and custom-blended blush made the eyes look brighter. A Proxy's work may be filled with the unknown, but before the camera, as long as the state is right, everything becomes super interesting. This is probably the greatest meaning cosplay brings me—to experience with heart and meticulously recreate, rather than stopping at superficial imitation. All garment materials and fabric stitching went through thorough screening, ensuring distinct visual atmospheres whether in a home environment or a noodle shop.
