Rockman himself looks almost exactly like Inafune's sketches. I only wish more episodes had been made.<br /><br />These sketches are great. I'm a collector myself, and I'm aware of the concern of authenticity/rarity/etc. But honestly, I'd be happy with just a photocopy or scan of these.Dhylecnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-5495000214485180442011-04-04T13:07:31.529-05:002011-04-04T13:07:31.529-05:00I've brought it up in comments on Protodude...I've brought it up in comments on Protodude's previous settei posts, but there is typically a way to tell fake copies from the original copies. All based on paper size and orientation. <br /><br />If they are on your typical 8.5 x 11 computer paper, they are fakes. Official settei paper is longer, although I don't have the exact measurements on me right now. If they are printed on the paper vertically, rather than horizontally, they are fakes. Just looking at these samples, it definitely appears legit. And the seller looks to have pretty flawless feedback, too.<br /><br />You've gotta remember in the art world, so much is sold in prints, which cost less. Originals can go for crazy amounts of money, regardless if it's a painting, a cel, a sketch, etc. The principle here is hardly any different. In animation, they have to create enough copies for all the animators to use for reference. So occasionally you'll see multiple copies of the same images up for sale, but they can both be legit, studio used memorabilia. <br /><br />Yes, caution is needed, but it is rare, cool to see artwork. It's not like you'd be throwing away thousands of dollars for these, but for 20 settei, $20-$60 wouldn't be out of the question, nor that expensive for each individual sheet.Rock Miyabihttp://rockmiyabi.deviantart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4080026879350344019.post-8550821356840026102011-04-04T10:10:22.850-05:002011-04-04T10:10:22.850-05:00No proof.
