I have to agree, they do LOOK fake. There's
something about the colors and the way the lines
are drawn that don't seem right to me. I guess
it could be an inexperienced artist, but I
personally wouldn't buy the cels (lack too much
detail for me. ^_^)
An easy way to tell if it's legit might be to
examine the matching sketches. Most CCS cels do
come with the sketch, and I haven't seen a fancel
artist that faked a corresponding sketch- not
that it couldn't be done, but it seems unlikely.
The other thing I think is key when trying to
determine if a cel is fake is colors. The colors
SHOULD match because each studio uses a lot of
pre mixed colors. Granted, certain scenes have
different colors for times of day or lighting
effects, but there are almost always other cels
in the sequence that have those colors - laid
side by side if you see colors well it's pretty
obvious if they're the same or someone's attempt
at a close match.
my 2 cents. |
