Anime-Beta TNG

Sensei and Takatsuki make some good points. Some paper can be removed easily with little to no damage to the cel/sketch if it's barely stuck. The method I described using water is one I reserve only for situations where the paper is blank and 100% stuck and it's not a terribly expensive/valuable cel...

Do this at your own risk but I have successfully removed rice paper and douga paper from my cels by slowly/gently wetting the paper until it easily peels off the cel. I use bottled/distilled water for this and immediately dry the cel off and let it dry completely before putting it back in storage. P...

I came across the Anime-Beta Rubberslug account by chance recently and thought it was a fun piece of history to look at. I vote to leave it up. None of it is my art though so perhaps users whose art is on there should be asked what they want ?

What is the link to SMJ ? So i know what you are all talking about please ^^ The website is long gone by now but it used to be shoppingmalljapan.com. It was a proxy service to help people purchase items from Yahoo Japan Auctions. The owner is also an animation art collector and their service was we...

Thanks! I'm looking at my cels and most probably aren't Toei cels (most don't even mark the paint code # on the douga for that matter) but I still appreciate you sharing your work.

Wow, that was fast! It's unfortunate it doesn't work with a bunch of your cels. Now that I think about it I don't think I own that many Toei cels myself either. Would you mind maybe scanning and then sharing them with the community ? I'm sure there's a bunch of people who would still find it very us...

This just popped up on YJ: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f1025249626 Starting bid is at 10,000 yen. It says "Saito Tele-Anima Color" on it but the description says they used it for making Toei Animation Cels. (edit: accidentally put too many zeroes on the auction price). Als...

The data on nekomataya's page is not accurate. The color were measured using a Noritsu CS-CM1000 colorimeter, not by things like the Pantone color guide. From my limited test comparing the color code to my cels, I believe the device was failing to capture pink color because all the codes showing up...

I found this color chart on twitter: https://twitter.com/gakujira/status/856826811233091584 which is apparently based on data from this site: http://www.nekomataya.info/teck_info/ta ... Chart.html That site has RGB values if that's what you're looking for.

Oh, I see. Well I don't know if it helps but I have photos of a few Japanese cel paint charts here on the Animation Cel Wiki: https://wiki.cartoonedin.com/books/anim ... ge/diy-cel

As far as I know Kotori-san used to work in the industry so they have access to those items from then. They might pop up rarely on yahoo auctions though I wouldn't know what search terms to use. An American equivalent is probably the pantone color chart that is used by artists/graphic designers etc ...

I saw those cels come up for auction and really liked the art style too though I didn't buy any myself. I watched one youtube video of Chantze's Stone a while back because I was curious and didn't see her either. You got a lot further in your research than me since you found info that confirms she i...

I just checked Silverfast's website, wow they really hidden the cheaper version from your scanner. I checked my version 8 and it has the preconfigured icc profile for your scanner, which means that you can buy the cheapest version (SE) and it should still work. What a bad business practice. Yeah Si...

Hi congrats on the lovely cel. I actually saw that up for auction for a while and thought it was gorgeous. They really went all out making that cel. I haven't ordered from them yet but I'm about to once I figure out which boxes I want but there's a site where you can buy boxes made of microchamber b...

No don't correct the color yourself in photoshop because you didn't even know what the actually color looks like. When cel were made, they would had a bright lamp placed right on top of the workstation while painting. So if you don't have a similar setup (which 99% of us don't) , you're not going t...
