Star Guardian Rakan visual effects

These are VFX I made for the Star Guardian Rakan skin for League of Legends.

This was the first legendary skin I got to work on, so I was super happy that I got to work on one of my mains, Rakan!

This year we were doing something different with Star Guardian, and Xayah and Rakan were corrupted by darkness. As such, I wanted to put dark smoke into all his abilities to represent the corruption. In his Grand Entrance he expels the darkness from him to knock up enemies, and in that instant you can see his original light colour temporarily. During his recall, we see the same thing happening.

I had a lot of fun making everything sparkly, and really enjoyed the challenge of making a dissolve material for his death.
