As to the people I do cels for-
Mostly, I do them for my friends, who like me
have like no money anyway, and wouldn't sell
them.
When it comes to commissions, so far I usually
get people who have like no money, but would
really REALLY love a scene of ____. Of course,
lots of times it's not a screencapture but an
original anyway.
Just to assure you, I usually browse anime cels
for sale on ebay, and if I ever found one that
was being sold as an official one that was one of
mine, I'd alert ebay. First, cuz I'd be pissed
that someone was scamming someone else, and
secondly because my cels usually sell for between
$7-16 on ebay, which is usually 1/30 of what the
original cel was worth, so I'd be REALLY pissed.
As for the 'it wouldn't match because you'd only
do what you could see from the screenshot'...well
that's really not true. It might not match, but
the dimensions of a screen capture aren't the
same as my cels, and I usually expand them out a
bit to fill up as much of the acetate as
possible, and I brighten the colors a bit because
cels are usually a little more vibrant in their
coloring than they are in the screen capture.
But I'm going to experiment with signing my cels
now, thanks to someone's suggestion. (I don't
usually sign any of my stuff because I don't have
the prettiest signature in the world and I think
it takes away from the overall pic)
^_^ Don't get too worried, I'm starting to think
some people think I'm going to raid their cel
galleries and start reproducing them en masse. |
