Ahhh, you wanted to know technical specs... (Sun Aug 11 04:36:22 2002 )

...well, then, yes, it is a very good cel ^^ As 
for whether is is better to have one character in 
a cel close-up rather than two; this cannot be 
compared, because the standard of comparison for 
the two is totally different. While eyes closed 
can affect a cel of one character, a cel of two 
characters, one with open eyes and one with 
closed eyes, is judged on a totally different 
scale. 

This cel in particular is nice, because Inu Yasha 
seems to be particularly sought when he has one 
of his "frazzled" expressions on...as often as 
they occur, it's hard to find cels with him like 
that. Now combine the fact that both of them are 
their (and shots of the two are highly sought 
after), with what seems like a slightly oversized 
cel, A-1; it is VERY nice indeed. Not everyone's 
cup of tea, but from a technical point highly 
collectable.

While I agree with Pale that we all love sharing 
our cels, there is a growing problem of "dress to 
impress" collectors in this community. These 
collectors are people who only show up in the 
forum to show off cels and garner comments for 
them (and subsequently get upset if no one says 
anything); they collect things they know would be 
desirable to other people, and not themselves. I 
wouldn't mind this, if these people didn't 
bombard my e-mail and IM with scans asking me to, 
basically, tell them how great they are. 
Unfortunately, because this forum is full of such 
nice people, this atmosphere only serves to 
pamper these attitudes. I'm not on some big holy 
crusade here, but it's just a point that had to 
be made. Frankly, I don't care either way; I just 
ignore these people and their posts.

So, I'm sorry if you felt attacked, but the way 
you opened up your thread sounded very much like 
the way certain "dress to impress" collectors do, 
and I suppose I just got a little annoyed. But 
now I know differently...gomen!
