Cel-motions: Do your cels reflect your moods?

Post by wELCOME cONSUMER »

I was thinking recently, many people collect certain kinds of cels. Perhaps
rage cels, romantic cels, crying cels, etc. So, is there a particular cel that
reminds you of yourself?

Attempt to choose just one cel which represents you best. But if that's not
possible, choose up to 3 cels which embody and personify you in different moods.

Don't base your choice solely on the character's personality. Base your
choice on the cel itself, the feeling it evokes and what the art says on its own.
That way, if someone is not familar with the anime series the cel is from,
they can still appreciate the sentiment behind your choice.

I guess you could consider this an avatar, representative of who you are if
you were a cel. Or something like that... :D

I'm curious to see the range of people's collections, as well as how they
see themselves and how their collection reflects on them as a person.

Here are my choices (because I can't pick just one!):

When I've lost a cel or get bummed out *_*

Happy or optimistic ^_^

If I don't get my way! >_<

Good one, Toni!

We all have cels representing the kind of personality we'd like to be but you have to think differently when it comes to the reality!

In my collection, I don't have quite the right sort of cel to represent me- I'd go for 'Aware & Methodical' but this is an honest generalisation:
'Friendly, Good-Tempered and Optomistic'
The main difference in this image is that the girl is far cuter than me and pink bows suit her better ;)

I think you may look pretty Jiffy with a Big Pink BowTie!

Image Grr...

Grrr... Is the way I feel right now since I just found out that what looks right in a Firefox Mozilla browser may not look at all right in an Internet Explorer browser.

Now I have to go back and edit all my auctions!

GRRRR!

My avatar already reflects my personality in cel form.

A true demon-lady

Unless you catch me after I've come home from a long day/night at work. Then its more like "Where's the bed"

I worry and fret a lot, so odds are good that at least 70% of my day is spent looking like this :P Especially on the road.

Wow guys! Your answers are so great!

Several of them seriously cracked me up big time, like Zetsuai's and Zag's.
OMG that "bitchy" cel had me rolling for hours.

Keep em comin'! :)

This is me filtered through the eyes of my love, Toni.


Image
Defending the honour of my girl. Actions are louder than words?


Image
Me and my girl in the morning, check out my neckerchief. Sexy and sweet.

Image
Toni asking, calmly, for yet another cel to purchase. Sigh...

Image
Me and mine plotting against mutual enemies. (Mostly fanboys and wood gnomes.)
