Some commentary on the following cel:
Click Here too see
cel
As I own 2 cels from this sequence, plus having
seen 2 other cels from this sequence in person, I
have to express worry about the legitimacy of
this cel. The cel looks somewhat real, the
coloring was very carefully done, but I don't
remember him looking quite like that ~without~
the aura (I don't have the eppy on tape / dvd ...
can someone check??). In both my cels, the aura
is definitely part of the Trunks cel layer, very
little of the aura airbrushing is on a seperate
layer (only the stuff that overlaps his jacket).
Both my cels are more "yellowish" in tone, this
one is "pinkish", plus the edges, hair, and lines
look too perfect. In both of my cels the "chest"
is painted incorrectly (black tanktop instead of
skin) so there is a "chest" correction layer for
each cel. I see no indication of a correction
layer in this cel (and I think every cel I've
ever seen from this sequence has a correction
layer). Both of my cels are in excellent
condition, but even in the nicest of cels you
should see some black line "browning" due to the
black-on-yellow which usually bleeds even when
preserved well. I see none of that in this
auction. Neither of my cels from this sequence
are painted so "high" on the edges of the cel, it
looks wrong. The fact that the seller doesn't
list production numbers or douga also worries me.
I know nothing about this particular seller, but
I would exercise caution before buying this cel.
