It's really nice! You already have that cartoony feel I can't seem to achieve, good job!
Can't wait to see what you'll come up with! ^w^
Already have ideas for the second effect?
I just came up with a 2nd idea! I'm going to do an ice effect that's a mix of xerath, kogmaw, and heimer's ult
And dude, your stuff does have the cartoony feel! Awesome awesome stuff
Gonna be interesting to see what you're gonna make!
And thanks! I'm trying my best. xp

My next steps will be creating some fire aura while the 'charged up' version of the arrow is idle!
Or you can put a picture inside a link in the BBCode. ^^
Anyway, nice start!
I also need to figure out my recording program and make my stuff HD
Since the last time I polished some of the arrow charging by adding mesh emitters and animating the swirly auras around the arrow. I also started doing timing and speed movement sketches for the release and the hit!

Glad I've been of some help. x)
Anyway, that's a good start! I like how the arrow gets "ready to be shot" at 00:02. It looks nice already.
Maybe give it a bit more impact. ^^
But yeah, just a WIP, and a good one. Keep it up!
Good idea to use the Xerath as ref! Didn't think about him. ^^

EDIT: I'd also recommend adding more lighter yellows, or maybe even some white into your textures. With the dark background, it gives the deeper oranges of your effect an almost brown look at a glance. Some very fine white/yellows in the very center of your arrow and the firey parts of the texture will give it a bit more pop.
Thanks Lokii and THendersonVFX!
I'll definitely be looking into adjusting the timing in the phases, but I also kind of like the 'pop' of the arrow with the ember/sparks flying off it as it pops into its larger size. But it won't hurt to try other things out! I'm basing this FX off of Varus' piercing arrow.
Your comment on the colors is a good point! I will add more lighter yellows and whites!
I also roughed out my 2nd effect! Gotta get the ball rolling and at least get 2 effects out for the contest! Then I will get back and polish them with the time left
