Two Year Anniversary

Post by Sui Kune »

I know this is rather silly, especially since I only uploaded one new item, but today is the two year anniversary of my very first cel purchase.

I really can't believe how far my collection's come, and I'm still pleasantly surprised at how helpful, supportive, and kind everyone here is. Pretty much everyone I've met in this hobby, whether they're collectors, sellers, or even conservationists, genuinely love and are crazy about animation art, and it's unbelievably contagious. So really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you all.

The piece I waited to upload until today is really fitting, because it's from the same episode as the very first cel I bought. (Eventually I'd like to find a desert nightscape background to spruce it up, since that would be like the matching background.)

One of the most beautifully-expressive Hotaru cels I've ever seen, with a beautiful non-matching background that looks like it could've fit right into one of that warped dimension's landscapes.

Once again, thank you everyone for everything, and I hope in the next two years I continue to learn a lot and perhaps even add more surprising additions. :)

Congratulations! Sometimes it's the cel you buy two years into the game that says more about whom you've become as a collector than your "first." It really is a lovely cel, and the background, though non-matching, is very effective with it.

Acquire good taste first: then your collection will grow, not just enlarge.

I have long admired your gallery and your dedication to the character. She is a very rare and expensive character to collect from ^___^ Your collection features pivotal scenes that associates with Hotaru's vivid and striking moments. Keep it up! I can't wait to see more of her ^-^

And that is one gorgeous Hotaru cel! I absolutely love it! Happy 2 year anniversary to your gallery! ^_^
