Description from the seller
Title
Dragon Ball Z - Piccolo - Original Production Cel - Early 1990s
Description
This is a rare hand-painted original production cel featuring Piccolo, one of the most iconic characters from the legendary anime series Dragon Ball Z, created by Akira Toriyama.
This particular cel captures a striking profile view of Piccolo, highlighting the intense expression and detailed musculature characteristic of the early 1990s animation style. The dramatic composition and strong line work make this an especially appealing piece for collectors of classic anime art.
As an authentic production cel, this is a genuine one-of-a-kind artwork that was physically used during the animation process. Since the industry transitioned to digital production, surviving hand-painted acetate cels have become increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
Following the passing of Akira Toriyama, original production materials related to his works have gained even greater recognition as important artifacts of Japanese pop culture history.
Work Size
23.0 × 26.5 cm
Condition
This item is over 30 years old and is sold as an original production artifact with age-related characteristics.
* Distinct acidic/vinegar-like odor typical of vintage animation cels
* Visible waving and warping on the acetate surface due to age
* The cel is adhered (stuck) to the protective paraffin sheet on the reverse side
* Despite the aging, the colors remain bold and the character line work remains sharp
* Please refer to the high-resolution photographs for the exact condition of the item
※ I believe the cel could be beautifully framed if the edges are carefully secured in place.
