What is a cel?

A cel, short for celluloid, is a transparent sheet on which objects are drawn or painted for traditional, hand-drawn animation. With the advent of computer assisted animation production, the use of cels has been practically abandoned in major productions. (From Wikipedia.)

You can also read traditional animation for more info.

Why do you paint cels?

We collected them for many years, but computer animation has pretty much obliterated them. Plus, the really good ones are expensive, so we started making our own. Now we don't even collect the real ones because we can have any one we want.

Do you paint original commissions?

We can, but the price will depend on what you want done.

What do you use to make cels?

Acetate from a cartooning supply store, Vinyl paints & India ink. We buy all of our paints and all of our acetate right here:

Do you have a return policy?

Yes, send back the cel with a valid reason and you'll get you're money back. All cels are shipped with insurance, so if that's your reason please be patient. USPS can take a week or more to refund the money (see below).

Can you do Hentai (yaoi etc....)?

Yes, but PayPal only for those.

Is there anything you will not do?

Rape, child porn, anything overly hateful.... you get the idea.

I've seen that you've signed some of the cels and not others, what's the difference?

What you are seeing is actually the background. If the cel is signed, it will be on the back where you can't see it. That helps deter people from re-selling them as production cels, which has happened.

My cels was damaged in the mail, how do I file the insurance claim?

Take the cel & the box it came in to your Post Office IMMEDIATELY! I can't stress that enough, do it the day you get it. We will have the receipts that you need but if you don't take it to the P.O. as soon as you realize it's damaged then you might not get the claim back. Let us know and we can send you the papers you'll need.
