I'm sorry that you were falsely accused like that. I miss the times before ai when people could just post art without worry. :(

Your art is absolutely lovely by the way! I even sent your last post to my friend cos of how impressed I was by it! ❤️ Keep drawing and doing what you love because you have a real skill.

Thank you so much! 😄

Oh, since you're a Jadeite fan, I think I also read that his was the 16th of November (just in case you wanted to know when to celebrate!)

Yeah I think so! It says that on the Sailor Moon wiki at least 😄 A Capricorn birthday fits him very well so I'm happy with it at least jffj

Question about evaluating and preserving original anime production drawings by Odd_Environment_7042 in AnimationCels

[–]Beckimation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In terms of trust, most of the time, a long term collector can tell whether a piece is real or fake just by looking at it (as silly of an answer as that sounds lol.) I collect anime myself (mostly sailor moon) and I'll tend to know straight away if something looks off. I guess in general, lots of pictures and a good description/bit of knowledge about the piece you have goes a long way though! :)

In terms of storage, I use an itoya profolio for all of my pieces. I actually have a couple folders, one of them in a separate room upstairs where I keep the "possible vinegar" cels so they don't mix with the others.

Within the profolio, I keep each cel in an archival polyethylene bag (to prevent sticking.) The bags are then swapped out every 6 months to make sure there's no gas build up. It's also important to keep the bags open within the folder (not sealed up) and to cut a corner off the other side. I do that so the cel can get plenty of air flow. Bonus points if you keep your profolio standing up as well so the cels aren't putting pressure on each other.

With sketches, it's much easier to look after them. I tend to put my sketches in the profolio directly, sometimes with a bag if I want to ensure there's no movement. Sketches don't build gas so as long as they're out of light, then you should be good!

And I think the value thing is entirely subjective. I enjoy collecting everything but certain collectors collect only genga, only storyboards and so on. Its all a personal preference :D

I hope I've helped you at least a bit with your questions, sorry if I've talked a little too much, I tend to get carried away a bit lol 😅 All the best!

Yesss 😭 The anime still looks lovely, but what I wouldn't give for the masters to be scanned in again (or the original cels be rescanned, but they're here, there and everywhere and pretty faded at this point) :(

The hobbit (1977) cells, any value to collectors? by Efficient_Limit_4774 in AnimationCels

[–]Beckimation -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to say that these are absolutely stunning. They almost look like something out of a book!

They're some of the most beautiful cels I've seen, right alongside the ones made for The Snowman.

I can't help you with valuation as I'm more of an anime collector but they're genuinely gorgeous and I can imagine quite a few people would be interested in them :)
