⋆˙⟡ 2D VFX flame and shockwave impact work, created in After Effects! This was a good practice - I wanted a focus on using simple shapes to create the intended stylized effects! This was mainly a VFX exploration, but was also created with translation into flipbooks in mind - for stylized in-engine game effects!
.
As seen in the process video, this is actually a fairly quick/streamlined process. I made use of effects such as wavewarp, and manipulation of the layers in a 3D space to create the animation. I hope to explore it further in a range of different effects, such as water/smoke next!
showing the simple process !
