I love to have the sketches for my cels. The more
related pieces, the better where any one cel is
concerned. (Pieces related to the cel being: any
other layers that go with it, backgrounds,
foregrounds, douga, genga, timing sheets, etc.)
For me, the sketches are almost as desireable as
things that complete the image as it was seen on
the screen - like backgrounds, for example. When
considering a cel for purchase and deciding how
much I'll pay, the presence or absence of the
matching sketch can make or break the deal.
This might be because I seem doomed to collect
from shows for which the sketches generally
aren't available. (Miyu, Nightwalker, El Hazard,
and Hameln are all perfect examples. ~_~) Psychic
Force got me addicted to having sketches, since
almost *every* Psychic Force cel still has one.
For everyone's amusement, I've included a scan of
one of my favorite (and rarest) rough sketches -
Queen Diva from El Hazard Alternative World. I
have numerous cels of Diva, but this is my only
sketch of her. ^_^
Many Sharp Smiles,
