during this process I went through multiple phases of iterations of visual effect designs and finally landed on the ones you see above. This process required research into how to create visual effects that look and feel right. I took inspiration from games like Wuthering Waves in order to start too understand how these effect are created

The above ultimate took me the longest total time since each element was made by me. This was earlier in the project however and looking back I think I could do better now with the new skills and techniques I have acquired.
