Dark Deity 2 Tidecaller! Water FX proved pretty tough but I'm proud of it! Studied Whip Cracks for the attack

The Shaman is my favorite tier-one animation set for Dark Deity 2. When I'm animating, I imagine the sounds that the motion would make, and this one is so clear in my head. THUNK THUNK

Dark Deity 2 Ritualist. One of the few classes whose visual design was up to me. I wanted, early on, to ensure that all of these classes have a lot of twists and rotations, as a sort of visual brand. Early concepts were a lot gorier, too >;3c

Elementalist - Dark Deity 2! What a fun class to work on! I had a nearly finished version of the VFX that I scrapped for being too "out there," I'll post that if there's interest 👀

Champion, Dark Deity 2
Went back and forth a few times w/ the regular attack! I wanted to sell weight & pwr without eating up a ton of screen time, so the windup and followthrough were v debated w/ the team. On the crit, the "called shot" was an instant hit

Windblade, Dark Deity 2
Wanted to focus on a small number of keyframes to show off speed and power, and I thought use of single-color smear lines would help sell a sort of elegance with the attacks
