Starting my journey into VFX, some elemental sword swings

[AThambert]

Hello hello!

I am studying Technical Art currently and have found joy in VFX. I’m starting a project where I intend to make some A-rpg sword swings with different elemental properties heavily inspired by FF16, any tips and tricks and or feedback would be appreciated!

First swings I made is without any elemental effects.

Should hopefully have some swings every couple days, only have halfdays of the schooltime to focus on this project.

I have also created sword swings with Water at this time.
