Another update!
I have to say, Jason Keysers mentorship (Jason Keyser is creating Real-Time VFX Education | Patreon) has helped me improve much more than I would have ever thought i could have by myself. I’m going to be sticking around for a LONG time and i would honestly recommend it to anyone else.
New Effect, still recreating the spells from Diablo 2, and working on the druid.
And this is the effect I"m referencing
It’s a druid spell called “Cyclone Armor”
another update!, wind is sure difficult to get across!
Started a new effect, Gonna make this one the biggest one I’ve worked on yet. I want to match the league of legends vfx style, so I’m following the released style guide.
i love that you took diablo2 as reference…i really like that game and its effects 
Music to my ears! lol Yeah dude I love me some Diablo @simonschreibt , I’m eventuallly going to finish remaking all those spells, cause like you said MAN are they cool
best fx ever: when you kill a hintress…this blue dragon soul raising to the air is awesome!
Dude, it made killing them sooo gratifying. Especially taking out huge swathes of them with something like a Lightning Javazon . UGH! so cool
recently i made a gif from that and noticed, that those souls just plop away at the end. there is no smooth fade out…never noticed that when i played the game 
Yup! I also noticed, in the Hurrican spell for the druid, Nothing’s really happening visually lol. YOu’ve just got this opaque circle with some shapes going around you lol. And then suddenly it stops.
blooop! finally got setup at work. still got some more things to do but yeah I was able to finally work again last night.
Getting the assets in place. It’s a little frustrating that it doesnt look EXACTLY Like the concept right now, but I still have a long way to go.
Here are the things I want to address on it so far. C&C welcome obv.
-Fix the seem on the tornado
-dont have the smoke all exit at once.
-Have some floaty specs/particles, Like little balls of light blink and fade out.
-Create a better decal for the ground
-create some smoke/dust the gets moved around on the ground due to the shockwave.
-Create a shockwave.
-have the heat reach up from the ground (see Ike’s neutral “b”)
-Have an impact ring expand from wherever the most force is coming from (the base of the tornado?).
-The swooshes on the outside still feel like billboards. Think about how to resolve that.
-Maybe have the lightning “charge” up the ground.
man, this whole thing has changed a LOT
. I’m still figuring out that whole tornado part, and how to make it look ok haha, but Heres the first part.
Been a long time guys! I want to make this next year a focus on me getting better with my timing and artistic eye. I’m going to be updating my sketchbook here with 2D animation, to get better with designing, and concepting. ETC ETC. That’s definetly where i’m weakest. ANd i’ll start with fire, because that is where i am ULTRA weak. 
Been QUITE a while since I added anything ot my sketchbook. It honestly its super cool to see the progression. I’ve been working on these latest few effects and they’ve been a lot of fun. I think they’re almost ready to add to my portfolio.
Welcome back! Looking forward to see what else you were cooking up
Dove into Unity’s VFX graph to get some practice. It was really cool! I’ll probably stick to Unreal, but There are a lot of neat tools in the shadergraph.
