262 – An original hand painted production cel from the Saint Seiya : Knights of the Zodiac Anime series. Featurinh Phonix Ikki from episode 15. Slight handling wear from production. Original production cel, Anime Cel, or celluloid, is a transparent plastic sheet composed of cellulose acetate. In the same format as the douga, the celluloid is painted by hand. The outlines of the character are traced on one of the sides (the douga being placed under the celluloid, allowing it to be traced), filling the silhouette thus obtained with an opaque gouache on the other side. Each production celluloid is therefore by definition unique. Until the dawn of the 2000s, the creation of celluloids constituted the last step drawn on support to create animation. Since the switch to computer colorization in the early 2000s, celluloids are no longer used in the production process of animated series and films. Which further intensifies their rarity on the collectible market every year. Original production cels were used in the creation of the television show. Each has been hand-painted by studio artists on a piece of celluloid acetate, and has been photographed over a background painting to create a frame of the finished production. All animation art and production drawings (layout, douga, genga, cel) sold by Galerie de la Bande Dessinee are safely sealed in archival bags with acid-free backing boards to keep the production art protected. Original production cels are a spectacular addition to any animation art collection, and a great way to enjoy the artistry behind your favorite Anime series and animated series.
Each original anime production drawing that we sell, was drawn during the production of the anime, by one of the animators working for the Japanese studio responsible for producing the anime.
Each purchase of an original anime production drawing comes with a detailed invoice, issued by Galerie de la Bande Dessinée. This invoice includes the visual of the original anime production drawing, as well as its description, thus certifying the authenticity of each original anime production drawing available for sale at our art gallery.
