I don't see why you should worry about someone
who make a copy, if you have the original, that
is all it matters, if someone would bother to
copy or pirate a piece of art, perhaps you should
be glad you own a piece of art someone would want
it bad enough to make a copy.
decent artist creat original arts, not copying or
pirate another image, there are plenty of awesome
artist in Japan, not many would even bother to
waste time and copy an image, maybe the character
design, but definitely not copying an image,
especially cels.
no matter how good someone claim they are at
copying, it is completely impossible to make a
fan cel that match the original 100%, even if
they have the original douga, the best
professional animators can't do it, they can make
one that looks very similar or almost identical
to the original, but there is will some tiny
differences, there are highlight lines in front
of the cel that needs to be hand inked, usually
around character's hair, so the proportion,
length will always be slightly different, if
someone they to reproduce an image base on
screencap, that would be even tougher, the
proportion and color will be completely off.
one best example is the hand painted official
reproduction cels, no two hand painted
reproduction cel will match 100%, if you compare
any hand painted reproduction cels side by side,
you will find many minor differences.
Often the professional Japanese animators who
painted the hanken cels, would make several copy
of the originals for friends or to keep for
themselves, this is reason often there would be a
few fakes in the market, however it is extremely
easy to tell when you compare the cel to the
image where the cels is used.
