WINNERS AND BADGES
This time voting for the 2nd place was fierce and there were many people who were close!
However by the end there were 2 people with same amount of votes, so let’s have 2 winners
In 1st place
@Foxer
Second Place
@Curt
Hey!
This is my first time participating in a Real Time VFX sketch.
After much deliberation with ideas, I decided to create a set of snowball projectiles that are casted and upon hitting their target, the target would transform into a snowman before the snowman then has a soft explosion.
This was a really fun sketch to create an effect to and I hope to participate in more in the future!
I’ve done a bit of a breakdown on my ArtStation post, if you’re interested:

Second Place
@kimotyh
After gathering my inspo, I decided to just make it exist w/ a rough block in!

Continued working it and building the pieces to get a stronger idea. Explosion not included since it wasn’t changed at this time.

Went back to brainstorming on the 2nd attack b/c I didn’t know what I exactly wanted in the second attack. Just needed to create a clear visual for myself so I could have something to reference while I was building more of this piece.

Congrats to the winners!
Thanks again to all our participants, and see you on another sketch
