I'm mostly a lurker here ^_^;;. Today I received my Last
Unicorn cel, and I absolutely LOVE it...except that the
pencil sketch is stuck to the cel :<. Normally this
wouldn't bother me at all, but somebody tried to remove
the pencil sketch and stopped halfway when they realized
it was too attached. So the cel adhered itself to the
top half of the paper as it was pulled along, and now I
have rip lines between her chin and her neck and her
rearing front hooves. The perfectionist in me REALLY
wants to get them out of there somehow (my brother just came
in and asked if she was drooling 0_o!). The cel is
attached to the back of the pencil sketch, _and_ that's
been turned around, so it wouldn't interfere with the
drawn part of the pencil sketch. But should I try to mess
with it at all? I wouldn't ever want to damage the cel,
and I THINK I could continue with what the previous person
did and remove it from the pencil sketch while keeping a
protective half-layer of paper so that the paint doesn't
chip, and then carefully rip away the extra pieces of
paper. But I'm also very afraid to make it worse!
I would appreciate any advice any of you can give me...and
kudos if you were able to follow this *G*.
Thanks in advance,
