Hey there. I am fairly new to vfx and hope that I can create a decent effect!
My Shield it inspired by “The Legend of Aangs” Earth benders.

Love to see what you do with this, very exciting. You going to keep it stylized?
What programs do you use?
@colbaltblue Yes, it will stay stylized like this and Im working in Unity.
I am making very slow progress. Stone Meshes will probably stay like that and I will try how the smoke looks as a mesh aswell. A thing I didnt knew before is that Unity only takes four meshes for its particle system, but I actually made six for variation.
I am also quite unsure about having choosen the right approach. I still feels kinda attack-ey I fear.

I drew some 2d Dust Wisps to replace the wonky white Stuff and i think it looks neat, although a bit flat. I will add some shading at a later point. The small rocks are fine to me right now, but I will paint some textures for the main rocks in the coming days.
The timing is getting better, but still not where it needs to be.
I think I will call it finished. Except for some smaller color tweaks I have todo on the projectiles to make them more clear there is nothing else I will change. All in all I am very happy how this turned out and am excited for the next sketch! Also thanks to the guys on the discord for the feedback. I hope I can show what I learned on the next sketch.
I will also upload a video in better quality in the coming days. The gif software I use is creating some strange artifacts on the sky.
