Tough question, but I guess I have to say that this is the cel that pulls me in the most, because it is my Love Conquers All cel

Several I love but after much thought I stuck with my Lavi http://requiem.rubberslug.com/gallery/i ... mID=219645 layout, granted that's totally character based

If you see me coming, you won't need to ask.

It's this one, now and forever!

A gorgeous yet delicate shot of the two beautiful seishi.

Amazing, vivid group shot

I can't pick amongst my sketches - it's a toss up among a couple

Yeah that's right. How do you like easily this?

So hard to choose....it's like choose which of your child is your favourite (they're all my babies!).

Well, one of the cels that really touches me, is this one:

The one sketch I won't part with is this (yes I'm a sucker for couple shots

I've heard at least 4 people on this board mention being buried with one or two of their favorite pieces of artwork. I sincerely hope this is a joke (you never really know, people could be absolutely serious when they say it).

I personally hope that that never happens because the dead person can't enjoy it, and no one else ever will.

But yeah, it's not uncommon for someone to say that here.

I think my corpse would look pretty silly with Phibrizzo super-glued to my forehead, don'tcha think?

Brilliant choice Sensei! I'm impressed with your shirt; it shows your true dedication and sense of humour.

This cel is precious to me: Sen Goku from Cyber City OEDO 808
This series was one that cemented my love of anime because I loved everything about it- the exciting story arcs, vivid cityscapes/locations, the intriguing anti-heros and English dub [the best I've heard to date].

This image partly sums up the character and is a powerful reminder of the series. It'll remain one of my faves.

Plus the fumes from embalming fluid are known to fade trace lines.

I had a hard time answering this... But I guess with regards to being a favorite it would have to be this one
http://hajimenokizu.com/cels-sketch/thu ... tachid=602

Curiously enough it's buried deep in the closet that I never get to look at it really. I'm too paranoid to let it out of there. And since it's oversized and several layers I'm too paranoid to let anyone handle it for framing. I guess it will stay there hidden for a long time.

Hmm, this is really hard for me. It's either:

My Guts and Caska Berserk pan:

Or my Land Before Time pan group shot:

Nice shirt sensei!

Killua - I love the Land Before Time group shot. That was one of my favorites growing up too!

These are all wonderful pieces of artwork! Thanks everyone for sharing!

Great question!

It was very hard to make a decision. I spent the last two days going through my cel books to come up with an answer.

The cel most precious to me my Ranma and Juliet Hanken.

http://renee.rubberslug.com/gallery/inv ... mID=217591

I have always loved the DVD artwork and I still can't believe that I own the hanken for the cover art. The cel is also important to me because of what was happening in my life when I purchased it.

At the time I was in Japan working on a project that already chewed up two of my colleges. It was the most difficult assignment that I ever worked on. We had to design new parts and implement new procedures on the fly. I purchased the cel to cheer me up and keep me optimistic. I had the cel propped up on the hotel desk so I could see it when I came back from work. No matter how bad my day went, the cel always made me smile.
