I was inspired to work on another portal idea while working on the portal challenge and figured I would post the WIP here to keep it separate from the VFX sketch entry. This portal is a mirror portal to another place. I ended up playing around with some flames and liked the juxtaposition of the fire in the immediate vicinity of the portal and the rain where the portal takes you. I’ll probably try and polish up the entry of the portal image a little instead of having it just fade on and might do some minor tweaks to the flames.
As always, any feedback is greatly appreciated!
