it's clearly rotoscoped from something, but I can't find where.

It's suspiciously similar to Axl Roses' dances from his 90s music videos, but I haven't found a 1:1 exact match yet .

Proof they've used rotoscoping in their games. This is also legally a grey area but no one's going to complain about 30 year old games.

>>11932106
god i wish i could paint elena's asshole with cum

>>11932142
She's probably very smelly. Like, the kind of smell that would put a normal man off

>>11932152
that's ok, it would be better if she was stinky, she should also be a little hairy too so I can huff it

>>11932106
This is closely referenced, not rotoscoped.

>>11932190
It's rotoscoped with some minor tweaks. Look at Elena's feet: they make zero sense because it's copying a woman with high heels.

>>11932142
African women are only hot if they're white.

Rotoscoping is literal tracing of the figure over a still. The sprite here is referenced frame by frame, not traced, this is not uncommon in animation. The proportions are different, the horizon line is lower, the figure is heavily stylized.

>>11932290
It's definitely rotoscoped, rotoscoping doesn't have to strictly adhere to the underlying model. Some of the most famous instances of rotoscoping in early Disney animation feature rubber house ghosts lol.

If it were just referenced then the timing would be different, this was roto'd then put closer on model after.

Is a typical hip swinging ankle slide a good aninator can come up with it, is just a twist variation

Nah she’s very hygienic, it’s Makoto that smells like ass.

>>11932527
>makoto is smelly
Anon, she's already my waifu, you don't have to advertise her to me.

>>11932527
Dirty makoto still smells more clean than an hygenic african. Im serious. Africans smell fucking rank. Has science ever figured out why?

>>11932104 (OP)
Doesn't look rotoscoped at all. Maybe inspired at most. You're retarded

>>11932573
Sure does is the knee balance, look at anything with both arms animated and gives you that effect

>>11932104 (OP)
Probably something some random idol girl did on one of those variety shows where they abuse them for laughs. Good luck finding that needle in a huge pile of needles.

>>11932613
Give me a second gif folder...

Dammit it was the one who hold her head

>>11932290
Rotoscoped doesn't mean traced.
That is indeed rotoscoped.

>>11932290
Art imitates life.

>>11932142
same

>>11932106
It's hilarious how Elena's head doesn't change at all

>>11932290
>Rotoscoping is literal tracing of the figure over a still

Lol. Just imagine all the trouble animators had directing all sorts of animals - never mind dinossaurs and dragons - so they could literaly trace their frames to put on those outstanding old school rotoscoped animations.

>>11932106
She should do the dance on the right.

>>11932152
She's the cleanest human from Africa.>>11932196

90's Capcom had an obsession with Guns 'N' Roses. It's across almost all their games but there are a lot more obvious references in the Mega Man X series.

>>11933245
Thats not rotoscoping, thats just referencing the timing. You can tell because the poses end up being more elaborate and have more pop while a normal roto'd animation feels too "real" and smooth but not in a good way

Here’s some non rotoscoped animation.

>>11933331
>Thats not rotoscoping, thats just referencing the timing

But anon, that is what rotoscoping is intended for. And to better reference complex perspectives and anatomy. The person "tracing" is actually an artist who have freedom to use the referenced frame as he wish, on an actual drawnboard.

It's this or you believe oldschool animator found dinossaurs and dragons to trace on their rotoscoped animation.

Anon please, go watch a ralph bakshi movie and tell me its on the same level as a renaissance disney film, video ref is just a tool not the end goal. Think of mocapped games vs hand animated ones, you still can use reference but they results are night and day

>>11933405
>go watch a ralph bakshi movie

I watched Fire and Ice, which is also rotoscoped, so? The frame referenced is just what it is: a reference for an artist to drawn whatever detail he want. As low in detail as a Bakshi animation or as high as a Disney one.

It just happens that you are clueless about what you're talking and felt to the "rotoscooping animation is just tracing characters" meme.

Yeah, you sure seems to know what you are talking about. Lol.

Not something you really see on a CRT at native resolution.

They have the stinky gene

Man i really hate the Fortnite artstyle. Better than ultra realism but every character filtered through it looks so uncanny.

>>11936212
>Better than ultra realism but every character filtered through it looks so uncanny.
It's the mixture of vivid, cartoonish aesthetics with somewhat realistically-proportioned characters and a subtly sexual vibe. It's like those videos on youtube of weird norwegian people acting our adult situations in childish ways while wearing bizarre outfits and eating food, with the cameras constantly zooming in on their mouths and exaggerated facial expressions. Both give me the same vibe, and it seems overtly sinister and malicious.

>>11934307
Those legs, Sweet lord have mercy!

It's mind blowing that no one was interested in looking into the source of Sakura's dance until now.

I don't understand this beef against rotoscoping. It's a completely valid method of animation.

>Children love pantomime and gaudy colors
We have Freud here

>>11934180
There is no beauty to the human form here

>>11937402
I've dabbled here and there. But i can't find anyone else caring. It was always jarring to me since it looks very 3D when the rest of the game is very flat, so like Elena's win pose I believe it was taken from something.

>>11933245
That is basically creating a visual script with skilled actors so you can also get ideas for poses, anatomy, facial expressions, and acting itself instead of trying to have animators just do it all themselves

>racism moment

>>11937593
Not really racism, but she's a barely clad jungle woman engaged in intense combat. The seat of her underwear is probably soaked in anal mucus.
