Improved my old effect
Last sword is another skill that can be used during 1 second after main activation.
I also planed to draw all icons for these skills
Not for commercial purposes!

Now I will show u how to make this trail texture
- Simple lines
- Add distortion in movement
- Standard noise * main texture
- Posterize effect
- Add new line + blur * noise
- Posterize main layer + add noise
- Add blurred(in movement) line in the middle
That’s all!

It was hard, but it’s not the end
The main idea was quite different (with trails)
And yes, I draw sketches not so good as another VFX artists, but I do it for myself

The icons I draw are suitable as ideas for new effects 
Feel free to use my icons to make your effects (for any purpose)
It’s even very interesting for me to see the effect that will be created using my sketches
Once I created a topic with questions about target markers, but I myself came to the conclusion that beauty is in simplicity =)

2 different textures with bloom and without:
Long time no see!
These are the wings that I made myself for my next effect. The texture and material are temporary.

Realistic ice sword with custom shaders. I was too lazy to make ice spikes and I created them procedurally in a blender in 1 minute.

Hmmm, I need to decrease white-pink emission in the crater or make it darker
This is looking great!
Since it’s a burning meteor shower, having an additional element based on the fire aspect might help tie it in even more upon impact.
One suggestion might be to add an additional fiery/explosive radial burst on impact (unless there’s already one that the GIF isn’t capturing); the distortion looks and works nicely, so something contained within that since it’s already looking cool
