No. It is made to look like a hanken cel, but it
can't be...See how Gohan's hair goes up beyond
the level of the registration holes? It is fully
painted and outlined. A studio artist would not
have done this, because this area of the cel
would not be photographed - the camera would be
zoomed into an area below the registration marks
(otherwise the registration holes/pegs would show
in the final picture). Studio artists know this
and wouldn't have bothered to complete an area
that high on the cel. And, if that part of the
drawing was intended to be shown anyway, it would
have compositionally been placed lower...I have
several hanken cels myself, and have seen many
others - never have I seen one done in such a way.
The drawings are suspicious looking too - the
lines do not seem right. (If there were larger
scans I could point out the flaws in detail.)
It is well painted, I admit; this person either
has some art background or has been practicing
fancels...But I strongly suspect it to be a
reproduction. |
