I've got a pile of settei sheets (for a cel-
animated show) which are photocopies. I think it
would be difficult to find the "original" hand-
drawn settei from which all the others were
copied for the animation team, so having a
photocopied settei set is more acceptable, say,
than having a photocopy of someone's personal
genga or douga or something. Likewise, I know
that my photocopies were studio photocopies, as
they've been marked on by the animation staff.
And in some cases, where I have duplicates of the
same image, one copy may be of a later generation
than another copy. It's kind of interesting. ^_^
However, I think that it would be a different
situation if, say, I decided to take my settei
photocopies to Kinko's and run fifty copies of my
sketches, and sell them because I don't want to
give up my copy. That's just kind of cheesy. :o)
I'd say if you could ever find an original hand-
drawn settei, from which all the other settei
were copied, it would be valuable, if only
because it was probably drawn by the art director
or someone like that... A hand-drawn layout
sketch is probably less valuable, since those
seem to be more common, and aren't necessarily
traceable to any one person.
But in the end, an object's value depends on the
market, like everything else. :o) |
