This Sangheili Elite is probably my favorite Covenant character so far, and I've always been partial to energy swords, so this test was the next logical step. Quite literally, a step - but I wanted to try and do more of a bit of a lunge so I cheated a tiny bit with a transparent piece under the foot to give the illusion of a mid-air jump.
If I were to revisit this, I'd try a longer lunge, a deeper sword swing, and maybe even consider adding some VFX to make it glow like the in-game item. I have been switching to a new editing software, however, so I have to relearn my VFX game from the ground up. Still, I'm quite happy with this progress.
If you like this, I am certainly up for suggestions on what to try next.
