What's the largest production art you own?

Post by majinuub »

Mines is a set of 6 cels from the same sequence measuring at 23 1/2 x 13. Unfortunately, I couldn't store them with my other cels so I decided to place them flat on one of the shelves in my closet. Since I they're so big, I won't be scanning and adding them to my gallery.

largest thing I own is 15 x 20

Its a Opening Intro Background with Cel layers to be moved around to create the illusion of 3d depth.

Mine is placed sideways in my closet and inbetween 2 large pieces of carboad taped together.

My biggest item tops off at 26.75 inches wide and 18 inches tall. It's a bank set-up for a background in Takashi Nakamura's movie A Tree of Palme. The bottom layer is "only" 23 x 17, but since the two bank layers move during the cut to provide an illusion of depth, they have to be larger.

You can see the whole set-up here:

I had to use a digital camera under diffused daylight to get anything at all usable in my gallery. If you click the second thumb, you'll see a somewhat longer shot of this item with a yardstick included for reference.

The gengas (which I also got) are actually a little larger yet, about 28 x 18, but that's because of the blank margins all around.

The more amazing thing about this item is that I bought it as part of a big, unsorted lot of Palme lot, and it was neither included in the dealer's photo nor described in the auction listing. It really was just a big ole stray dog that no one wanted to adopt but me.

My two largest pieces of production art are a Card Captor Sakura cel of "The Maze", which is 17"x21", and a Vampire Princess Miyu cel of Chisato being scared by a snake, which is 19"x17". I do have both scanned, and curious people can see them HERE. (Assuming that shows up and I didn't mess up the links.)

My actual *largest* piece of art isn't production, it's a gorgeous Psychic Force fancel made for me by ix. (It is also scanned, but I don't share scans of my fancels.)

Each of these three cels has its very own "folder" that I made out of acid-free foam core material.

Many Sharp Smiles,

my largest are my toei cels are 13.5" x 17.5" and they are trimmed, so i think they should be larger. they don't fit in any of my cel books. i'm still not sure how best to store them until i can get them framed.

Yea I tried that, but the pics I took before were kinda bad (to me at least). I'm so picky about that X| .

He he,

probably most of you won't believe me if i tell you that my biggest cel is over 40 inches tall.

And i have 2 more that are over 30 inches :D

It was a pain to scan them, but i actually did it. Don't ask me how i store them, it's well..... a little complicated. :)
