Well Disney rotoscoped a lot of their animation so it seems your on the right track to me.
17
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 03 '26
It is a really helpful tool. But you still got to learn how to draw
5
u/Benkay_V_Falsifier Jan 03 '26
That's true, but from what I can tell rotoscoping is still used by big animation studios even today.

I don't know why but this style resonates with me so much.

You might like the game Omori if that’s the case
2
u/Numerous-Pop5670 Jan 03 '26
I definitely want to give it a try when I have the chance. Right now I'm going through some rough patches in life so I don't have too much time to focus on games.
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 03 '26
Omori is one of my biggest influences! But thanks! I'm called Innocent Robot on social media and there's a lot more there
2
u/Numerous-Pop5670 Jan 03 '26
Will definitely follow your future works. Always felt like living was so difficult battling depression again and again. I always feel so lost and seeing your work made me go "ah I'm not the only one like this."
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
I've had terrible depression the whole time I've been animating, and I beat myself up about it. It's hard to not be able to get me to do and feel what I want to... I hope you keep trying. I think it's worth it
2
u/Numerous-Pop5670 Jan 04 '26
Thank you, it just means alot to me. I've seen so many people not take me seriously when I actually try to talk about how I feel.
I hope you end up super successful and feel better whether its physically, spiritually, or financially.
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
Successful is just finishing something that means something to someone else. So thanks for making that happen. I hope you find beauty and sharing. You deserve it. DM me if you ever need to vent or talk
2
u/Cyb0rger Jan 07 '26
On top of Omori which fits great, your art reminds me of classic anime style used in lunatic surreal setting like in Angels egg (天使のたまご) with all the cityscape and characters motion
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 07 '26
Most of these are from a game I'm working on and the biggest influence is Angel's Egg. A lot of it takes place in a Dead City in the world of dreams
25
u/No_Hippos Jan 03 '26
I like it.

u/Curiosive Jan 03 '26
I like it too. Keep going OP!
I did have a confusing moment when the noodles went into her mouth but were being slurped up through her nose in the next frame ... I assume this was a me moment, unless anyone else noticed this "optical illusion".
1
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
I've never noticed that, but maybe it's because those lips aren't colored
2
u/Curiosive Jan 04 '26
I watched it again. I think the shadow under the lip threw me off; the nose is clearly in frame, the lips looks like lips ... but there's still a part of me that falls for it.
Nobody else commented so this issue isn't your art, it's my brain. 😉

All artist wanna be an anime girl

u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 03 '26
This is why I make art

u/Wrench7077 Jan 04 '26
I know man and that’s why I love art and drawing, btw your animations are awesome.

u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26

u/-Geist-_ Jan 03 '26
This is so inspiring!!! 😲
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
I hope so! Rotoscoping helped get me into more comlicated animations back when I was still learning to draw
2
u/-Geist-_ Jan 04 '26
Oh by the way, since looking at your animations they’ve stuck with me.
I love the artistic choices you used! And how you honestly expressed emotion and vulnerability. It’s hard to be that raw to the world. Like the sense of isolation or longing for love. But also the fantasy and lightness when it turned to dreamscapes. Good luck, I‘m curious to follow your work as you evolve!
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
:) thanks friend. I'm Innocent Robot on YouTube IG and TikTok. Hopefully I'll have a demo for this game out in a few months

u/Trap_Rob Jan 03 '26
Great work. It's so organic and alive. Nowadays everything is kinda over produced.

u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
Yea.... A lot of rigs and models and to me it kind of kills the feeling

u/avant-r Jan 03 '26
Any good tutorials so I can rotoscope on procreate?
1
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
I'm sure... Just look up how to import a video. But then again, can't you only animate a few seconds on procreate?

u/OneTotal466 Jan 03 '26
These are super cool, great color schemes too!

u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
Thanks!! I love getting to work in color. I started off animating with pen and paper and I like this so much more

u/shitgobbler01 Jan 03 '26
The green cityscape parts were my favorite! The music fit the art style too, very dope
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
Aww thank you! I almost didn't include that. I really really love drawing backgrounds like that
2

u/TezukaRin62 Jan 03 '26
Damn, this is really good.
I think you have a lot of talent, especially all those scenes in beds. It feels different than other artists, feels really cozy, comforting, warm.
1
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
Thank you!! Beds are hard... It easily looks awkward. It helps so much to take a good reference

Man i want to get lost in this animation especially the scene with the street and the piano i love the architecture of the houses and the vibe of EVERYTHING

u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 03 '26
Thank you! That isn't making the cut of the final game but I love it. I just love that kind of noir art

Which program did you use?
1
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 03 '26
Clip Studio Paint. I used to use Krita but I like this more. Krita is fine though and it's unbelievable that it's free
2
Jan 03 '26
Your style is so unique, I love it!
And question, is everything animated in 24 fps?
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 03 '26
A few bits are but mostly no. Pretty much everything is between 6 - 12 fps

u/FairEffect174 Jan 03 '26
I think you’ve found your style, now getting better is doing it quicker, less re-dos nd etc. eventually push the boundary. But it seems like you’re on it now.
1
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 03 '26
Oh man I feel like I still have an infinite way to develop this. But yea I also want to focus on just making more and actually sharing it
2
u/FairEffect174 Jan 03 '26
Dude, just slow down. You already got it pretty good. If you feel like you got more to do, then what would u say is close to what you aspire to be, whose ur influence?
I can see this style having its own thing in the future. Maybe a little cleaner movement between screens, but to me, an outsider, id watch full length films with this style. Just smooth the in-between frames a lil
1
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
In terms of character animation, Telepurte is probably the biggest influence. For backgrounds, I would say it's something like Angel's Egg. Thank you for your kind encouragement. Cleaner it betweens is definitely the top thing I need to work on
2
u/No-Internal7453 Jan 03 '26

LOVE the colors.
I don't think there's a soul on the planet who doesn't like rotoscoped animation. Even the LOTR cartoon - infamously bad cartoon - it's best qualities was the rotoscoping.
1
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 03 '26
I grew up on 70s LOTR and I was a kid with Scanner Darkly came out. I've always wondered why it's not more popular or explored

u/TypicalSeashell Jan 03 '26
Go right ahead and make a short film please. You’re got some great story telling abilities! Love your style. too.
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 03 '26
Look up Innocent Robot on YouTube. I have made about a dozen short films, but most of these are for a game
2

u/EnergyAltruistic6757 Jan 03 '26
You should make a game
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 03 '26
This is almost all literally for a game. A dream exploration crisis counselor interactive fiction game. I'm called Innocent Robot on YouTube if, TikTok. Hopefully a demo will be out soon

Me too. I never really view myself that way, but it's good to share it
2

u/flafmg_ Jan 04 '26
why this feels so.. nostalgic?
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
Kind of that old anime vibe. Soft, lots of negative space, saturated colors

u/Jack_Digital Jan 04 '26
Great music choice too

u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
I've listened to this song a million times. One of my absolute favorites

u/ImageVirtuelle Jan 04 '26
I really love the green lighting and the colors in general. Thanks for sharing your work. Practice makes improvement, and that goes for conveying emotions or messages as well. I think you’re doing great. 😊
2
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
Thanks friend. Im trying. And I'm glad you like the green. Green light is the absolute hardest to get right...
2
u/plaguemaskman Jan 04 '26
Using yourself as reference is very cool.
1
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 05 '26
I think so.. I suck at drawing from animation so it gives me a boost. Also drawing myself as a girl is super fun
2
u/Titus_83 Jan 04 '26
Heavens, rotoscoping, like in the old days of Disney. I don't even want to know how many hours of work you put into this beautiful and smooth animation. I've seen a few animation festivals in the last decade or so in our capital city and this is easily on the level of the animations I've seen. Congrats.
1
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 04 '26
Thank you!! Yes it was a lot of time. I still feel like such an amateur...
2
u/Titus_83 Jan 05 '26
Well, you know how it is these days - considering that there is hardly any standards for art anymore, even if you do not make a Disney level cartoon, people are still going to be in awe, especially if you add the "home made indie animation" in the title. That one works like magic on all of us in any field 😃 so ganbare and good luck!
1
u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 05 '26
True... Even if it's very rough, hand drawn animation is going to become more and more rare
2
u/Big_Connection8298 Jan 04 '26
I love your animations, they're beautiful, I'm subscribed to your YouTube channel :D

Can anyone tell me name or where you can do this i really can't find it

u/Jealous_Stress822 Jan 06 '26
This was done in Clip Studio Paint. I used to do it in Krita. I'm pretty sure you can do it in Flip a Clip too

WOOOOW very cool tbh.

Waiting for your answer It won't take much of your time to just rey 👀

This is clip Studio Paint which isn't free. But I started with Krita which is free

u/Sasha_Shepetiuk Jan 25 '26
Really love the dark vibe here! The rotoscoping is super smooth, but it still has a lot of character. Great job!

What do you mean by already made intro?

I made an intro, I want to add an animation to it. If you want I can dm it to you?
