Vakna, the Molten Hermit

This is a showcase of all of the work I did for Vakna, the Molten Hermit, who I created for the Rivals 2 Character Contest and released on January 10th, 2024. Along with him, I also released his stage, the Kindlers' Crucible, both of which I have linked below

This is the full set of animations I had created for Vakna, including movement animations, defensive actions, attack animations, and visual effects.

For my animation process for Vakna, I started with a set of rough stick figures to get the general motion down and to concept out VFX, then rendered our a full body animation, and finished off by layering clothing and finalized VFX on top

Along side Vakna, I also created a stage for him, the Kindlers' Crucible. This alone took 2 weeks to fully render

In the end, with the coding and SFX help from my good friend Delta Parallax, Vakna came to life as probably my best release to date
