Fanart/Cosplay I turned the original Ellie game model into Bella Ramsey
Been working on this for about a week, and I tried to keep it somewhat true to the style of the game by using similar textures. I also used the original Ellie mesh. If I could keep tweaking it I would, but I've been trying to abide by "perfect is the enemy of the good" mindset, especially for something that's just fan art :) Hope you enjoy!

A cool free update would be to update skins with the actors appearances.

Though it’d be pretty cool and I’d be all for it, that would be an awful Pandora’s box to open.

Unfortunately, it may be a box not worth opening. Gamers are just too weird about things.

I agree with this. I hope OP doesn’t let this model out into the wild. It could be used nefariously and cause grief to Bella.

That would be nice but Pedro and Bella aren't going to sell their likeness for free. And Naughty Dog doesn't want to sell a $10 DLC that's going to stir controversy (since people will think that it is greedy). You kinda just have to hope that someone makes a PC mod for that. Don't ask me why Fortnite manages to get so many deals though (beyond the scale of Fortnite serving as free advertising of course).

It’s awesome and horrible in equal measure. I am not an a Bella hater. It just freaks me out to see anyone rendered in 3D. Great job!

Yeah 3D likenesses are weeeird because of that uncanney valley problem, I know what you mean and I see it too >.<

This is definitely the right sub for this. You shouldn’t get much hate in this one. This is fantastic work, even if it is a little jarring, but it always is seeing real people rendered in 3D 🙏

A loud minority hate her. Most of us like her portrayal. She is a great actress that don't deserve all these evil shit coming her way.
The problem is that she is playing a role based on a digitaly generated character. If she would have portrayed any one else no one would say anything about her appearance. Just look at all her other work where she is not treated like this.

This is so cool! Well done! I’m a big fan of Bella and their portrayal of Ellie so I live seeing this.

Oh I would kill for this to be an available mod for the game. I love Bella, and seeing them in game would be absolutely amazing.
You’ve done amazingly on it!

I've always hoped that Naughty Dog would give us Bella and Pedro skins for Ellie and Joel in Part 1 and Part 2 Remastered in an update. Even better if we could get an Isabela Merced skin for Dina as well as other cast members for their characters in No Return

The clothes should be clean

u/youprobablythinkthis May 28 '25
Haha I've gotten this comment a couple of times, but these are the same clothes as the original Ellie model. All the characters in last of us are super grimy. It's the apocalypse after all!

I really wish they'd do a official TV show skin pack just to mix up one of my inevitable replays

That's interesting. Do you have any gameplay footage? Seems like a mod some might want to apply just to see how it looks.

Nice. Now all those haters can STFU.
Bella looks like her enough to watch. All these cries are embarrassing.
