For Loose Canon Vahaadi I really want to play up his smokiness when he moves. Whenever he summons something from his hammer space or teleports, there’s a sort of smoky haze. Not quite like Eris, where she melts and tween frames look kinda weird. I think before he teleports or when he’s appearing, his features blur out to like a silhouette, and then the silhouette melts or wisps around.
As much as I love the animation, I don’t think it’s quite right. Vahaadi’s features should become indistinguishable almost the moment he starts to sublime. But this is so cool I had to post it anyway. *Q*
Eris isn’t a perfect example of what I want Vahaadi’s sublimation to look like, but she inspires me. I particularly like the way her fingers are leaving smoke trails. For the record, no, I don’t think Vahaadi’s hair behaves like hers, like it’s underwater. His clothes and hair act pretty normal.
This gif is closer to what I think Vahaadi looks like when he uses his magic. A smoky silhouette “becomes” him.
I just think this is pretty.
These are all great details/references!!!
