A very rough concept test for the goddess halo. The idea was to use the Illustrator stroke function to animate a cycle.
4 frames looped in After Effects.
layer sequence: outside stroke, center stroke, inside, center
Rendered at 24fps
I like the pointed joints but I will need to finesse the bezier curves to achieve the desired results. I also need to rearrange stroke order for each captured frame so the flame colors stay in sequence
