Wow, real Hellsing sketches! That is really really cool. If you ever want to sell an Integra, *wink* you'd know who to e-mail.

I haven't gotten into too much of the cg stuff yet, mainly because...I just can't get as excited over it as I can over a cel. I know, there really isn't all that much difference, they are both "originals", but the cels are just so much more impressive then a piece of paper.

That said, I mainly collect from Chobits, DBZ, and Hellsing so far, but I have original sketches on the way from Fruits Basket and Kino's Journey-kino is definately one I will be actively pursuing. I would love to find some from Haibane, or Witch Hunter Robin, ROD, perhaps even Wolf's Rain if I can convince myself to cough up the cash.

Hi Tabbykitty,

we havent met but i have to say that i

LOVE

your noir cels, very cool.

I noticed you are also pursuing kino items, did you see the last batch on YJ. I sat out on those and am glad i did. I would have grossly underbid on them,

since i spent a wad on a batch the previous week. Out of curiosity, have you ever seen any haibane stuff? The most ive ever seen are storyboards and copied settei.
Well, i just had to say a hello since we have similiar tastes.

Oh, believe me, not only do I know, but I've already torn much of my hair out over the fact that I don't have a damn thing from your wishlist with which to beg a trade.

They're absolutely beautiful, and one of them in particular I envy you with an abiding passion. Congratulations on a fantastic score!!

As for myself and sketches, I just acquired a small sequence from Full Metal Alchemist. No hints yet on what it is, but I do promise to animate it and post to the forum once it arrives. Muahahahahahahahah...

Have to say, I enjoy collecting from 12 Kingdoms (Juuni Kokki) the most. Fruits Basket and Saiyuki occasionally.

Series I would like to find.. hmm Yami no Matsuei, Angel Sanctuary, Mermaid's Forest (TV), Gravitation (TV), and Mirage of Blaze.

My favorite to collect from has to be RahXephon, I just can't find enough sketches I like, or people who will sell them to me.

Sometime after Thanksgiving break (aka Deer Camp break in this area), I need to sell some Samurai Deeper Kyo genga. I also own a ton of copy stuff I bought from Mandarake a while back thats going to go as well.

Let me know if you're in the market right now for RahXephon -- I'm thinking of selling two or three more sketches, and would like to make sure the right people get first chance. I don't want to flog 'em off to strangers on eBay...

Anyway, as to CG series we love to collect, I now have to add Saiyuuki! Who'd have thought that I'd fall in love with this, when I dislike the animation so much? But damn, the sketches look just like the manga art, and I love the manga, heh... I just kind of wish they'd never tried to animate it, or at least not without a much better budget.

Ah, well. I sure do love the pretty sketches.

Yea I'm interested.

Sent you an email a moment ago.

I'll liven this post up some more. Since I last posted here, I now collect FMA, YGO and Fruits Basket sketches.

*tries very hard not to find other series to collect from -- is addicted enough*

Brings thread thats two years old back to life...

I enjoy collecting sketches from Juuni Kokki (hard to tell right?)

I've never really considered myself much of a "sketch" person ...

Oh my ... I laughed SO HARD when I went back and read my original reply in this thread, especially considering how much my Saiyuki collection has grown since I first started collecting and first posted here on Beta. (around the time of my original post in this thread)

I suppose, though, hindsight really is 20/20 --

I still collect Saiyuki (in all its forms -- Gensoumaden, Reload/Gunlock, Kibou no Saiga, Requiem) with an almost obsessive-compulsive fervor. The other shows I listed in my original response have yet to show up in my gallery, although I will soon have a couple of Weiss Gluhen sketches on the way, thanks to Titania. *gloms Titania*

Yami no Matseui artwork seems to be too scarce, so I've pretty much given up on ever having any of it. Ditto with Pretear. After watching more of the show, I decided I did not like Wolf's Rain enough to collect from it -- in fact, I found the show so depressing I could not finish watching it, although I think the art is beautiful. I love Fruits Basket, but decided I did not like it enough to compete for sketches.

Other sketch luvs that have now appeared in my gallery: Loveless -- I hope I'm able to get more sketches from this show; Shaman King -- which I would buy more sketches from, if I could find them; Samurai Champloo -- mostly production copies, although I still adore them & I would love to get some more original sketches, if I can find any I'm willing to go broke for. Also, I started a sketch collection for Nightwalker sketches. This was a cel-based show, but I really like a lot of the production sketches that have been coming onto the market.

(Incidentally, I also had to laugh when I read my comment about not browsing YJ. Ah ... how quickly times change. *iz now a YJ-addict*

This topic is before my time (on beta that is

), but still a good question, maybe even more so due to the fact that cels are becoming so scarce.
My favorite cg series to collect from is Fruits Basket, but I also collect from Naruto, Saiyuki, Samurai Deeper Kyo, E's Otherwise, and a few others.

As a side: it was great fun to go back and read through this topic. I noticed a few things are easier to find than they were a few years back (FB and SDK to name a few), but a few are still a little impossible to find (no Yami no Matsuei still

). Maybe wait a few more years and they'll pop up? :hitting:

The only CG I have collected from so far is Fruits Basket. I suppose I'm normally too busy spending tons on cels to spend so much on sketches, but I do not think it is that as much as it is that I simply have not had the time to watch very many CG yet! I'm working on it though, this post has given me some great ideas!

It used to be RahXephon... which was around 3 years ago...

and Now it's Disgaea!

Mishima has nothing on Flonne!

Well, seeing as how I have 40 sets, I would say my taste
in CG has switched drastically to Hikaru No Go.
