Hand painted production anime cel used in the making of he Sailor Moon Classic season. If you are unfamiliar with animation cels, they are hand painted frames of animation that were used to make an animated series of film. Each production cel or sketch represents part of the movement process and are hand painted or hand drawn by animators so no two are exactly alike. They're a lot like movie props.
This is a dynamic shot of Yumemi Yumeno the artist and rainbow crystal holder from episode 28. In this shot she's grabbing and holding Mamoru's arm while she begs him to be her model. This is a single layer cel labeled A3 and comes with it's matching douga, but the sketch is stuck to the back of the cel. Cel was has line fading and some minor wear in keeping with a Sailor Moon cel of this vintage and sketch has some yellowing. First image is cropped for detail, second is the full cel. This is a great shot of a single episode character and a piece of animation history perfect for any Sailor Moon cel collection.
