Decided to open a sketchbook here too!
So, lemme introduce myself
I’m Aliaksandra, an artist trained in Chinese painting, a lifelong MMORPG gamer, and… a VFX artist now too! Yay!
I could talk for hours about any of these things
I’ve always wanted to get into gamedev, but life had other plans.
One day I realized that in many online games, I was choosing my character class based entirely on their skills, how beautiful and satisfying they were to use.
When I decided to create a short 10-second animation, I stumbled upon a video tutorial on VFX. And here I am now, about four months into this journey!
I’m starting from the basics, so any advice is welcome!

Love the contrast between cute and powerful. The lightning aura feels energetic and punchy, and the glow integrates nicely with the ground reflections. Great readability and style
