Hey everyone! Here is my VFX showcase for my senior thesis, Varial. I was the Art Director and primary FX artist for this project. Varial is a game about a skateboarder who's only mission is to kill the giant, mecha kaiju trying to destroy his city.
For the VFX we went in an extremely stylized, 2D sprite style. I was taking a lot of inspiration from comic books and the thick, three color structure for our rendering. I wanted to use 2D sprites and this flat look to break out of what I normally create and had a ton of fun experimenting and working with in a more painterly pipeline than I was used to.

The other FX artist on our team was Imogen Davies.
