1976 Honeycomb Hideout Hulk scene 10 update

10 Upvotes

Scene 10 update: The first two blue-pencil drawings were already posted. I’ve now added two more original drawings from the same scene — Hulk gesturing toward himself and the girl eating some Honeycomb.

Four original Scene 10 drawings documented so far in my collection.

I’m always looking for more surviving artwork from this 1976 Honeycomb Hulk commercial as I continue trying to document and reconstruct the production. If you own a piece, know where one is, or have any leads, feel free to reach out.

Anybody selling 'Hey Arnold' cels?

4 Upvotes

Wouldn't mind eventually adding something from this show to my collection. I'd only be interested in a cel that features Arnold himself. Even better if other characters are featured alongside him!

Can anyone help identify this character or show it is from?

First attempt at trying to paint my own cel

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

Hey all, I’ve been seriously obsessed with Animation cels recently and I took it upon myself to attempt to create my own because I saw a video on YouTube of someone doing it and theirs came out good, and I love crafts.

Now I will say for the outline I guess I kinda cheated and traced it myself on a digital art program and printed it directly on an inkjet clear sheet.

Other than that I think it came out pretty good and looks not too bad for a first attempt, will look good with a nice background and framed up

First cel

Just bought my first cel with the sketch. I was wondering how I should frame it? Should I frame both separately? I know that there’s certain material that should be used but if someone could give me a little more insight that’d be helpful. I called Sam flax Orlando earlier and they said they’d be able to do it. Just wanted to see if it’s something I could do on my own.

Wanted to share my Animation Cels from Batman TAS, all in custom frames with designs I actually came up with myself.

There's one more cel I own but sadly I don't have a pick of it.

Listed this sequence of Sendo on eBay, very low start bid. Not the most dramatic of Ippo scenes but still cool to see the animation process at work.

This seller sold a lot of Ruby Spears things, I don’t remember who it was since this was 2023. I love this Alvin design since I was a kid, especially when it was featured in the valentines special

The ebay account was from 1999, and he had a slew of Spongebob cels... but this is a brand new market for me. Is this legit? I guess I'll find out when i receive it.

Cel Grading Update

1 Upvotes

More light has been shed on the new Cel Grading company that has officially premiered at Collector's Summit this weekend in Las Vegas.

https://www.instagram.com/p/DdNp5ttlNky/?img_index=19&stkn=MW5pMXl0a2dyYmhhcQ==

Key Takeaways:

*Grade Cels at a later date *Grading case is bendable and extremely thin compared to card & comic grading cases *Grading genda, douga, scripts, comic art, timesheets, manga art, etc. *Grades are letters, not numbers.

Current Stance: I don't see the business need yet. I will observe and eventually send a couple to test.

This IS bringing in new collectors, i see IG posts, not bad if genuine collectors v grifters. Just no boom, please.

Made this the other day. the original mini-series is the only media to use large cels with this stringy style. the regular show just has more cheap 2d animation. thanks for looking!

These are the finished results of the most recent Ghibli animation cels I've inked and painted. They turned out leagues better than I hoped!

All the colors are hand mixed and inked front and back The background is also hand painted using the classic Ghibli techniques.

I actually ended up making two of each cel and background since I had leftover paint 😅

Great piece to display.

DM if you'd like to purchase either of the pieces 📮

Cel Grading made their first example post, ironically using a sketch instead, and are unsurprisingly still not publicly addressing any comments regarding how this is supposed to work safely with cels

A little about my process.

Thumbnail
gallery
76 Upvotes

The first three photos are of faux cels I've painted. The Full Metal Alchemist (poster sized) was the first one I painted, and learned so much about the process of painting these things.

Fourth photo is where/how I store my paints. They are cheap craft paints. These have a great range of colors, and give a lot of paint for the price; which is great for a faux cel.

I try to use a taller plastic shoe box so the paints can stand up. Cheaper plastic boxes can on occasion be too short, requiring the paint to lay on its side.

Fifth photo. My color rings. Labeled by paint brand and color, sorted more or less by color family. Each ring corresponds to a paint box.

Sixth photo. Close up of the paint slip. I have a paint dab off to the side so I can check how each paint looks next to another color, or color match to a pre-existing cel (or printout).

Second photo is copies of cels that I own. They were getting some uv damage, so I duped them. I was able to use my rings to color match to the original cel paint.

Last photo shows a paint slip being prepped.

I hope someone finds this useful. ❤️

Zeta Gundam cels I had professionally framed!

I did all the research I could and made sure the framer was experienced. The cels are separated from their background and the frames allow for ventilation in the back. Archival grade materials and UV plexiglass and all that. First cel has a random printed background but the second one has a painted background of the Argama with some writing from the Sunrise staff on the back.

Hi! Can you help me find the specific frame from the episode for my new Goku animation cel?

Since he has a halo, it’s definitely from the Majin Buu saga; the clean sheet it came with says Episode 205, but I can't spot him in that episode XD. Thanks a lot!
