I don't want to spend time on this as there
was already many threads on that subject in the
past so you can look in the archive.
But yes, the scan that you make of a cel is
copyrighted by yourself. Whatever you own the
copyright to the character or not.
That mean that someone can't simply takes your
scan and use them without your agreement.
Naturaly, that doesn't mean that you can do
whatever you want with your cels : It's not
because you own a cel that you can use it to
produce and sell a poster for example. The
copyright of the character/work belong to the
studio and when they sell a cel, they don't sell
any kind of licenses.
