After spending more time on this portal idea I had this is what I came up with. It was hard for me to render this to the way I wanted, but it came out better then I expected after playing around with it for 4 more hours. This still has a way to go before it is complete.
I think you need more variation in the characters clothes when they are blowing in the wind. It is far too obvious its a loop. Same with the hair. I think it looks really cool though, try making the outside get darker and start to fade on the clouds, to show that its farther away from the portal
I know, I plan to redo and add more frames to the hair and all before it's finished. The main thing of this piece was the portal and animate it the way I pictured it in my head.
