Water To Ice Spell VFX

For this project, I was inspired by elemental reactions and combo attacks. I decided on the main element being water as it has a lot of potential for reactions, leading me to having it freeze over.
Something I wanted to challenge myself with was keeping to the concept art I made as much as possible, I feel that I occasionally diverge too much from what I initially set out to make when it comes to my personal projects.
I'm very happy with how it turned out, I feel like the style I imagined back when I was concepting has been realized.
