Week 1
For this project, I wanted to make stylised attack VFX for games like Honkai: Star Rail and Guilty Gear: Strive.
I've noticed, referencing many games and anime using this style is that they favour very vivid and saturated colours for the effects and a lot of the particle include 4-pointed stars and glittering effects, emulating a magical feeling.
Below is a scene from Little Witch Academia, an animated TV show. This scene shows the main character, Akko, drawing a bow and charging up her power. You can see bright green stars all around her body.

This image is a screenshot from Honkai: Star Rail, where the character, Argenti, is seen deeling his finish move with a flourish of rose petals and stars.
