Re: Do you keep Complete Sets?

Overall, I agree that sketch sets should, if possible, be kept together to preserve their historical value. I can see the issue with CGI sets that are more than 90% partials with one or two full, displayable images. (Both my Spice and Wolf sets are this way, which is how they proved affordable enou...

Re: Do you keep Complete Sets?

Cels with alot of paint are sometimes dried with a blow drier at the studios do to short production times so the paint on the back drys faster than what touches the back side of the cel and causes curl. they don't worry about it at the studio...
