Anime-Beta TNG

Posting with an update and some before/after pictures for any who may be interested. I took the above image file to Fedex/Kinkos and had them laser print it on a few different papers. This is my experience, and I suspect it may differ based on computer program used, and type of printer and paper use...

Appreciated reading this topic, thanks for the information. To hopefully not derail too far, does the fact that genga are more commonly drawn by key animators and douga done by juniors tend to make genga more collectable, or not necessarily? I never realized, before reading this thread, that douga w...

Really enjoyed viewing your entire gallery.

Congratulations on your new additions. Agree that the new Ashitaka cel is quite a looker as well.

Much the same as the above. I've only used ebay thusfar and though I've researched, haven't yet experimented with Yahoo Japan or deputy services either. Opening starting price bid as a courtesy if I have been in contact with the seller and the item is being listed on request. Watch the auction then ...

Thank you very much for the reply. Your work looks great. I'm certainly coming at this from the angle of someone with limited experience, and hopefully am not biting off more than I can chew. I'm going to practice at it :). Interestingly, recreating a background from the ground up is actually someth...

Hey BuraddoRun, thanks for the reply. Those are all solid points. I did see that topic actually. I've considered sensei's good suggestion of adding a solid, complementary color behind a cel. I know it nags at me though :) and I would like to learn how to create a replica of the background of the sce...

I did a bit of experimentation with this topic over the past week and wanted to share my experience. The target was to make a background to match a cel I own from a DVD. I picked something I thought would be relatively simpler for a first go at a project like this. My experience in doing things like...

Thanks for sharing the process, and agreed, the "new" cel looks fantastic. The restoration really does make the colors pop, especially the browns of the hair and staff. Forgive my ignorance, and I did look at the full blogspot post, but when you're referring to "cel overlay" with...

Free bump for you here. Very nice collection of Cowboy Bebop cels in your gallery.

Can't count how many hours of Voltron I watched as a youngster. Hi there, nice to meet you.

Some really fantastic artwork, enjoyed browsing each category. The website layout is very nice too--thanks for the time and effort setting it up.

Hello. I have a general question about the nitty gritty details of creating a background from a DVD for which I'm hoping I can get some help. I've done a good bit of internet searching on this topic, but haven't quite come across a real "for dummies" guide to creating your own background f...

Thanks very much to all for the warm welcome. To start to answer your question, ReiTheJelly, my animation interests are more of the Japanese variety. My introduction (as far as I can remember some 15 years ago, not counting Saturday morning cartoons) was Vampire Hunter D/Fist of the North Star, whic...

Greetings to all. I am a new member of the forum (thank you Deadly Whispers for the invitation), and wanted to take a moment to introduce myself here. Long-time animation fan (mainly the basics), but am relatively new to cel collecting, having just about a half dozen pieces prior to a few recent acq...
