Those are nice....I need to dig mine out...there are about 4 or 5 different sets...oddly enough, I have never run into any that have actually been painted...you could be the first! :)

Hey Fortress...I'd like to someday...but I only have time to take some quick pics with my cell phone at the moment...most of the stuff on rubberslug seems to be nicely scanned.....at this point it would take me a long time to scan my collection.....

Really? When I look around I see tons of galleries that just have photos not scans. Well either way hope you create a gallery. You have so many cels it is a waste to just post on this thread. If you need help, just pm.

No one can do eyes like Mikimoto....

Actually, I am considering a commission for an Ishtar from an artist brought to my attention by DarrinG.....just trying to figure out if I want to start with Ishtar or an SDFM character....

Around $50 for the two character and $35 for the single character......so as you very well know, a fraction of the cost of an original production cel......very nice quality, but the choice in colors could have been tweaked a bit....the artist is very responsive and if I had cared to be more "involved" in the process...I'm sure the colors could have been more "on-screen" accurate....In short, a very well done hand-painted fancel....I'm satisfied with it and will probably commission some mech cels next....

As for the background....It is laser printed...I did not ask if she could hand paint one, but pretty sure she could if you wanted to go that far with it....money talks as they say! ^_^

Huh. Much less than I would have thought. I was expecting around $100. I don't think I have a desire to get any for myself, but interesting to know the service is out there.

Posted

If DarrinG had not pointed it out I would not have known about it...but yes, the price is very reasonable considering what original SDFM cels are going for these days...

funny enough I sorta got that impression of Max also.. although DYRL was definitely a lot more violent and graphic than SDFM.. like they stepped it up to be more of an adult release.

Hehe! Max a closet psychopath! joining the defense force gave him an outlet for what was bottled up inside!

Yeah, I had one of those Macross Cel Painting Kits, and I did paint two of them, but I didn't paint directly on the cel. Instead, I did the smart thing and actually traced the lineart onto a blank cel of my own and applied the paint directly to that. I was actually quite pleased with the results. I did one of Minmay laughing after she and Hikaru were rescued from under Macross City, and one of Minmay sleeping with her head on Hikaru's shoulder. What's funny is that the colouring instructions actually give the wrong colours, the uniform that Minmay wears after her shower is supposed to be olive-like, but the kit tells you it's white. Well, I decided to go for the more screen-accurate one. It should be somewhere in my mother's house in the UK, but I don't know where. :(

Well....I guess if folks can post hundreds of pics of the same valks using the same rationale.... :rolleyes:

......a personally hand-painted cel would be refreshing to see!

Posted

Yeah, I remember I took a photo of me *holding* it, but that was before digital cameras, so I don't know where that photo is now, either! :p

Anyway, here is one of my latest acquisitions which I *didn't* paint! ;) Just need to find a nice frame and display it now... Which is easier said than done...
