ZZZ - Billy in Action

Billy from Zenless Zone Zero being cool as always.

This one took about 13 or so hours, 5 SFM and the rest outside of it in procreate. Was a lot of fun, I'm still not sure about some of my decisions outside of SFM and about some post-processing. Even now I see things I'd change or add.

I included the important renders as usual. This one had a lot, like renders without some of the monsters so I could paint the holes, renders for each Billy including the renders for rim lights without the top Billy so I could get correct lights for that. Basically it was something like 7-9 images that needed to be combined, edited, drawn and painted over. the final layer count is 73. I had to do a ton of painting for the lighting of he map and a lot of editing and added painting for Billy himself.

Billy is very cool, I was going to do some thing different but then I saw a reddit post of this being colored by The_king_of_wolves on reddit.
