I admit that this thread has been largely narcissistic, but there is some news in relation to a previously posted
Dragon Quest cel of mine that may be of interest.
As already mentioned, I have a cel gallery hosted on another site. It was brought to my attention that a Japanese site had hot-linked to my second Abel production cel from the
Dragon Quest anime series. Upon some html code scanning, I noticed that they were referring to the said cel as a "title shot."
Curious, I searched youtube. As it turns out, that incredibly well priced cel I had purchased from a Ebay auction was from the opening sequence used in the latter half of series. I have attached a scan of the shot (with an unmatching, digital background) and a screencap of the shot to this post.
Anyway, it is my first opening shot cel, which is typically worth more than a normal production one, and, hopefully, it is an interesting element of anime production cel collecting.
A Youtube video of the opening sequence can be found
