This project was the first I worked on as part of my internship at Glaucaus Games; Thank you so much to https://www.artstation.com/vastir for being my Supervisor for the Project.

I was tasked with making a portfolio piece for the company's website, and I wanted to work with elements I found familiar with (Fire, and Stylized VFX), while really pushing the detail & polish. I found https://www.artstation.com/rineartt 2D VFX design very compelling, as it had a very cool symbol and felt very much like a "game" ability with the clear visual language. I also really wanted to work with some of the technical elements of Riot Games' https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/news/dev/dev-a-storm-is-brewing/ dev-blog-post, which was really annoying but was super worth it in the end when it finally came together; I love the way the Rune Dissolves!

Overall the project took about a month or so to complete, with me getting feedback twice per week. I'm extremely happy how the effect looks in the end, and I hope to be able to output similar things in the future, just at a faster pace!
