Summer Stuff 2 (2017) - Flashy Effects

Seeing various effects within animation I decided to create my own versions taking inspiration from these animation.

The first animation I wanted to try out after seeing each individual frame was in Hero Academia Season 2, Midoriya vs Todoroki.

Midoriya Izuku (aka Deku)

Todoroki Shouto

Summer Stuff 1 (2017) - Enenra

Enenra is a Japanese monster that is typically made of smoke and darkness. I initially wanted to look into a less well known creatures besides the typical Dragon. This led to me creating this Enenra creature morphing from one form to another.

I first created the design to look Dragon like before it pulsates a turns into a more monstrous form as it can literally take any shape it so pleases.

Here is the final fully outlined animation showing how the matter it's made from gathers together before pushing forward creating the giant head full of large teeth:

Finally, over the summer I able to complete the colours and shading to create the final outcome:
