This is gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. Do you mind if I ask what programs you used?

The art looks great, it's definitely still tracing, and that doesn't diminish the artwork itself, there's a lot of skill in choosing what parts to trace and shading and developing your own style from the original medium.

Tracing doesn't have digital connotations and it isn't a cop out. You can trace and show skill and talent as you clearly did.

Edit: we spoke in PM and OP didn't trace this they just drew it using reference frames, just some confusion over what rotoscoping is as what they did is more impressive than that.

Yanno they could have roped off the pieces and put up a pretentious art card about "man's inhumanity" and "spontaneously donated by unknown patron" and charged even MORE for it

Your goal should be to animate a full choreography of your friends in dance battle and have them perform it exactly in synch with a big screen behind them. Get that shit on America/Britain's got talent or something.

Amazing work. Please keep creating for our enjoyment !

Obviously

I absolutely love this. It’s just so nice to look at

This would be a wonderful puzzle

I didn’t use the tracing method, at first this project, not this animation but the more rough, was to rework my anatomy, and since I was working on dancing I tried to animate it, just using dragon without thinking much of it, and it worked, so I pushed the thing you can find the second try on my Reddit page

When I say “traditional” is that I didn’t use a software to trace each frame, I had my paper my 5 years knowledge in nude classes, my video reference and the notion of animation I learn during my first two college years. What I mean by traditional is that it is not the modern method used in graphics design, it’s more like the way the Disney animator used rotoscoping for Snow White.

I am no animator, I am in my last year of fine art, and try to find ways to rethink an image, so animation was obviously a way to go about it, this one have just more preparation than the other and the experience gotten because of the other try

This is a terrible photo of a beautiful sculpture :)

Is a Koons's work, so nothing really worthy was lost.

I was so confused originally thinking it looked more like a rhino with a mohawk, and then my brain must have corrected itself and it was then I saw the horse.

Nice work btw OP, looks really good.

Forgive my ignorance but what's the difference? I thought rotoscoping is just tracing multiple frames?

I typically hate color fields as a style but you really captured the subtleties of sky and field to impress me. Beautiful.

Amazing! I love the way the candlelight glows from under her hand

u/VillageIndependent50 is cool and all but obviously jelly

This is absolutely stunning

Was listening to loud radio and yes.

Yeah, I actually have heard of breakdancing and seen plenty of it. I'm saying that it looks like an awkwardly funny dance move to me. That shouldn't be so offensive to you. Gremlin of the Kremlin? Wtf.

Amazing and I tried to pause frames to read but couldn't. The writing was what convinced me it was real. Great work so ebullient and fun to watch

Wow. Really powerful and superbly balanced. This is so very lovely. Congrats!

I mean this one definitely is but not specifically about that
