Calling it good on this quick sketch of the golden vow incantation from Elden Ring.

Small sketch I did where this glittery effect is actually made of ribbons instead of like gpu particles. Always interesting to find different ways to do things.

Also here is a better view of a single lance.

Tried making the dark lance spell from Nier Replicant. Pretty happy with it as is, and might try remaking some of the other spells next.

Really inspirational effect that made me want to figure out how to do it. Actually ended up doing it using the hlsl custom node which was nice to relearn.

Black hole sketch, practice with substance designer

Didn't really know what I was going for with this but it turned out cool.

Trying to learn geometry nodes in blender. Scattering grass cards and all the tree geo are procedural. Movement done by basic uv distortion and vertex displacement. Much more responsive than houdini, but I don't like it as much.

Smokey magic orb thing for a sketch. Not exactly what I set out to do, but I think it turned out well.

And here is just showing the kinda jank volume placement

Tried recreating the Portal 2 gels and made a little environment to go with it. Made with render targets and I actually gave the gels collision volumes to actually make you jump and stuff.

Lightning shockwave sketch, trying to get back at it

Been working on learning to draw and paint lately, and decided to paint this based on one of my friend's space marine minis.

Didn't do any other fx this week so I made this flame slash real quick just to have something.

It feels great when you start having a good collection of materials and textures, you can just whip things together in a short amount of time.

Basic fireball spell this week, AlphaComposite blend mode coming in clutch for that nice glow.

Quick vfx sketch I did today, tried to get a similar look to the dlc portal in Dark Souls.

To start off Midra, Lord of Frenzied Flame #eldenring

Let's see if I actually commit to making art.
