Heyo this is my first (?) VFX challenge. I’ve been working on this since the start of the challenge, but I’m just now making a thread for it.

I really like Project L’s style so going for that game, especially since 2DFX is what I enjoy practicing the most in my free time.

I’m still hashing out the theme for this effect, but I was really inspired by Rashid from Street Fighter’s Yssar, his level 2 super art in SFVI.

I’ve got a PureRef board loaded with frames from Rashid, Yasuo, and Ahri.
I’m picturing some kind of paired character move with Yasuo and Ahri as a goal.


Here’s some concept sketches, animations, and early effect set up. Going to post more of the WIP in the replies.

I love the blockout and animatics so far. Can’t wait to see where this ends up :open_mouth:
