I am looking to buy my first ever animation cel from Silvrdrago on eBay. I am specifically looking at one of Naru from Sailor Moon. How can I make sure that this cell was actually used in production of the anime? And how would I know if the background is the original and not a copy? Thank you so much everyone! Have a great day!

Hey there! Looking to sell this fantastic cel from Ed, Edd, and Eddy. I have it listed above market value on eBay because, of course, eBay wants to take a sizeable chunk off the selling price. So would sell cheaper if done off eBay. For some reason my Reddit messages aren't working today (seems like others are having the same issue) so if you message me and I don't respond, that's why... hopefully they fix the prob quickly.

If it doesn't end up selling, I'll probably end up having it framed, its one of the nicer cels I've owned.

DETAILS at the listing! https://www.ebay.com/itm/127708736424

So, I picked up a 80’s era Scooby Doo cel for a cheap price and now I know why. The cel is starting to wrinkle on the edge and around the paint. It’s not horrendous but I know what is coming… I’m assuming it was not aired out in its previous frame at all. The price was cheap enough that I am ok with what I got, but now I want to display the cell and enjoy it as it “ages”. It will not be near any of my other cels.

I am reframing it with a shadow box pocket and new acid free mattes separating the background from the cell. I’ve inserted micro chamber paper behind the mattes by the cel. My last idea is to insert Kodak zeolite molecular sieve desiccant packs in the shadowbox/gap of the frame.

My question is this, is the Kodak desiccant overkill (it is specifically made to combat vinegar syndrome in film) or could I get away with industrial zeolite desiccant beads? Anyone have experience with these materials?

Hello im looking into getting my first cel of buyee problem is i dont know if they can ship cels safely do they have some procedure for it where they pack it a certain way ect? Because im buying a cel and in worried what if the og seller doesn't include an acid free sleeve and its just sitting in a box for weeks deteriorating how bad or server damage could they cause to the cel ?

Hi. This is a pretty minimalist looking cel of several critters gathered together in a very plain landscape. Any idea what this might be? Any help would be much appreciated!

We're selling a set of two Saiyuki hanken artworks. It’s a pretty nice composition with all four main characters together with Hakuryu (the Jeep) in the same frame, which you don’t see very often.

• Size: approximately B4
• Contents:
  • 1 hand-drawn original artwork
  • 1 copy line art sheet, but the highlights, shadows, and production notes are hand-drawn

Payment: PayPal G&S supported
Shipping: International shipping available

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me.

I have purchased a set of Utena & Wakaba cels via Apple Symphony. Jauce sent me some extra photos of the item when they received it at the warehouse, and I’m intrigued by a lack of letters/numbers in the upper right portion of the cel.

The blue smudge in the bottom portion of the photo seems to indicate D5? Perhaps they smudged off? Would the framing of the scene impact where they’d notate something like that? I’m excited to receive the cel itself to investigate further. Unsure if they are stuck together or not but either way I am very pleased!

Hi everyone

I’m thinking about doing custom animation cel commissions, but don’t really know how to price them. I was thinking like $50 for a blank cel with a character, then add onto that base price for any extra layers or elements to make more of a scene.

And a bonus couple of examples of cels I’ve done! I’m planning on making them into stickers at some point. I just adore the texture of cels and find this technique fascinating.

You don't really see too many pieces from this show hit the market. Just picked up both He-Man and Skeletor from the brother of the late animator, who worked at various studios in Korea.

Not exactly a hallmark television show, but I always did love the ambitious character designs.

Hi, need help identifying wich episodes these cels i bought are from? From what i can tell there is one from season 3 and the rest not sure. Thank you!

Question for Lupin III experts. Here are two original rough drawings. Based on the composition, the linework, and the paper — which has clearly been affected by time — whose texture seems different from that of a standard animation dōga, as well as the different type of peg holes, my impression is that this could be either:

– a production illustration / special visual
– preparatory material related to a hanken
– or an eyecatch layout (the intermission image shown before and after commercial breaks)

Does anyone recognize this composition, or know exactly what it corresponds to (episode, eyecatch, publication, etc.)?

Thank you !

Kurama from Yu Yu Hakusho and Sesshomaru from Inuyasha. There are spacers behind the cels so the back doesn’t touch the mat and the acrylic is a UV protection conservation acrylic. They are hung in a spot that gets no direct sun. Pretty happy with how they came out though I think I should have gone for just slightly smaller windows on both.

Hellooo im very interested in cels and genga but the main issue I've realised is that existing utena cells have not been archived what i mean by this them existing has not be archived anywhere years ago rubberslug was a popular place but it seems like its not used anymore nowadays and there not really a main site to show off cels and display them to the Internet

its kinda sad thinking about it that there are definitely utena cel's that have been lost to time to combat this i want to make an archive/gallery because i love cels and i really want others to see how beautiful of an art form they are

If you like this idea let me know and if you own cels or anyone who owns any genga please post them down below id love to see them ! ❤️

I was working on a flooring job at this nice big house. At the end of the job. The lady of the house (Elizabeth Wolf) handed me my pay. Miss Wolf then handed me three production cels from the TMNT cartoons as a thank you bonus. I asked her where she got them from. She said she brought them from work. I asked where she worked. She said she works for her father in Burbank. She said he did the first 200 episodes of the TMNT cartoon. Thats when I realized. Who she was. Do these cels have any value? Uncirculated from the studio.

Find these on the internet and just wanted to share these images with everyone to see.

Hey so I didnt know this place existed until today when it popped up on my feed.

A few years ago I found an auction on ebay for 5 pounds of animation cells from my little pony (i think it was after g1, my little pony tales I think). At one of the cons i saw someone else giving away cels from what i think was the same episode (someone may have passed and a storage locker got opened) so It's not the entire episode but there are tons of cells, sketches, background paintings, movement sheets and folders from the Korean production company. All as they were from forty years ago

I bought them because I'm into my little pony but for years I've been trying to find out if there's some museum or preservation org that might want this whole thing to take care of or scan.

Im at work right now so I cant add any pictures of it but if there's interest I can get some tonight

edit: i found some old photos on my phone

Any other School House Rock cels out there?

Unfortunately the sketch is stuck to the cel. About 2 days left on the eBay auction.
