Anime-Beta TNG

I am lurking around. Nothing on the threads that make me want to post. But I check the forum almost everyday. It's my solace at the end of a tiring work day :) Haven't bought much this year, the selection on the market is less but I wouldn't go as far as saying there's completely nothing I want. Whi...

So kawaiiii! Enjoy the puppy phase and take lotsa pics

Rubberslug seems normal for me.

Congrats to all the winners! I'm happy to win something, thanks to all who voted. :D A BIG thank you to the organisers for their great work! They took the initiative and their own time to make this happen. And it's not an easy job because you can't please everyone. The cheating case aside, this year...

Lovely update with lotsa descriptions! The effort you put into maintaining your gallery shows.
I am always eager to see your VPM updates, congrats on the pretty portrait of Miyu. And Shippou and Kirara with a bunch of nuts.....how cute is that!

A great cel on so many levels - it shows multiple views of long-haired Akane (which is rare) and it's an A1-End

Welcome to beta! I enjoyed browsing through your gallery, so many nostalgic artwork from my fave childhood series. Looking at your Gummi Bear artwork, I even started to sing the song aloud

I buy from bagsunlimited too. For bigger backgrounds and cels, I cut and combine the bags together. I just buy one size 11 inches x 14 inches.

I scan them just once, high res, before bagging them or it will be too much trouble later. Happy archiving your collection!

Welcome to this addictive hobby!

Have you been to Rubberslug? Besides galleries and a market, you can find useful links at: http://www.rubberslug.com/resource/links.aspx
Most of us have galleries there, happy browsing!

I take out the staples slowly (with fingernails or back of stapler), and bag the cel and the background in different sleeves. For the cel, I cut one side of the sleeves off to let the cel breathe. Then I attach bagged cel to front of bagged background with archival tape and store them in a folder. W...

Thanks for sharing that article. I have learnt much from it, especially about the history of animation. Polypropylene and polyethylene have many grades, I use the archival grade and so far things seem ok. They do get 'cloudy' after a while so I change them when that happens. Besides choosing the rig...

A pretty cel of human Inuyasha with the matching original background to boot! Love it when they come with complete set-up including layouts and other sketches.

Wow very pretty! But on my hands, they prob won't last too long. Still, hope I can try calgel one day. Unlike other parts of the body, I can admire art on my nails any time (e.g. during boring talks or meetings).

Very neat collection! I esp like the one of white Rei....a great find! Great gallery name btw...hehe very apt... :P I first started collecting by accident. I was surfing the internet to look for anime images in 1999 and came upon cels...one link led to another and another....and soon I was browsing ...

Congrats on such a beautiful piece of original artwork! I can understand why you won't ever sell it, esp since it was customised for you with a friend's help. It has a big sentimental value for you. While there are many cels and sketches that would pain me greatly to sell them, there is nothing I wo...
