Fancels are fine... they only get to be a problem 
when you have people trying to pass them off as 
the real thing.

Like others have mentioned, you might want to 
give it a shot yourself. It can be labor-and-time 
intensive, but you can work at your pace and do 
it exactly the way you want... though the cost of 
materials and time might make it less efficient 
than paying someone else for their trouble. :o)

To find a fancel artist, you can go to:

http://www.cels.org/cgi-
bin/asearch/var=TCAT=cf&op=0&template=category.htm
l&start=1&nb=25

and go through the sites. Some of them are no 
longer active, but it's good to see what people 
are capable of, and compare. When you narrow down 
who you want to request from, it's good to be 
familiar with the variety of artists, styles, and 
price ranges available. For example, if you want 
a cel of a mech or something, you'll probably 
want to ask an artist who has a lot of mechs in 
their portfolio. If you want a cel of a person, 
it's a little easier. ^_^ It's always good to 
shop around and find a good match before you try 
and commission anyone.
