Finished two more portfolio pieces recently:
The attack animation I got on Mixamo was so wonky, so I ended up not giving Michelle a sword. It would have been too obvious that the tip of the sword doesn’t align with the slash trail, which has the shape of a perfect disc. Works way better this way 
A water bubble shield VFX which turns into an liquid explosion. I’m quite happy with the result 
Again using character and animations from Mixamo.
I used Jeanluc Kol’s Mizuchi Shield VFX concept art for reference: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/4XODY2
So kudos to you Jeanluc!
There’s also an amazing breakdown of a very similar VFX by Darin Aranda on ArtStation.
It’s getting warmer outside, so I made a bunch of juicy variations of my water orb to get in the mood
melon slushie, pineapple yoghurt, tropical punch, blueberry colada & campari orange 
Most materials here are using color gradients, so it was easy to make different versions. I tried to make them look a bit different in relatively short time, so mostly value tweaking of the materials and e.g. for the blue and yellow ones I used a different noise texture to make it look a little bit foamier/milkier.
