Wow... beautiful cel....
It's so satisfying to get such a nice layout, a
complete image...I never thought much about
backgrounds until I got a couple, and now I think
rather highly of them. ^_^
As for the addiction thing-
I was in bad shape for a while I think- it took
being broke and feeling extremely guilty for
spending $200 on a cel for me to take a step back
and look at things. I still look for cels way
too much, I'm still way too tempted, but I am
starting to force myself to take a deep breath
and think for a few minutes, or hours or a day or
more to think about a purchase. Most of the time
I realize that I can live without that cel, that
it's not exactly what I'm looking for. This is
not always the case, but it is becoming a more
common practice. I do miss cels sometimes, but I
usually feel more relief than regret.
I'm also trying to be stricter about limiting the
series I collect, and comparing a prospective cel
with one I already have - which do I like more?
Can I be satisfied with one or is it worth it to
me to get both?
Limiting the series and liking anime without lots
of cels floating around helps some too - there
simply aren't that many FY TV, DHY, or Iczelion
cels being updated regularly. ^_^
Finally, having pretty art books to look at helps
me limit the number of cels somewhat, I can get a
great cel, then look at the book for the rest of
my "fix". ^_^
Aion- being forced to grow up a bit. |
