Hero - Super Saiyan 4 Goku (SSJ4) [Adding Effects to Renders]

I wanted to attempt adding in the effects I will include in the animation to a rendered still, to see what the final outcome could and will look like.

I basically rendered a still of a small clip that will need effects added to it using After Effects, but because this was just an image I added the effects in Photoshop.

I created a new layer in PS and created Mezzotint Pixels then motion blurred them to add the 'Saiyan Aura effect'. Colourizing this yellow completed the effect and then I just erased parts of it with a 0% hardness brush.

For the lightning, I just used the lasso tool to select the shapes, fill them with white and then add blue outer glow. This is just a glimpse of what the video will look like in one of the scenes, but I am happy with the result and am excited to start animating and editing the footage properly in After Effects.
