# Non-Production Cels

Cels that were not created in the regular production of Anime creation

# Fan Cel (同人セル)

Fan cels are unofficial fan made works. They are typically made by hand inking, printing, or photocopying lines onto acetate. They are then painted with acrylic or cel vinyl paints. Artists can be commissioned to recreate images that would otherwise be difficult to obtain such as works that are from digital only anime. Collectors should proceed with caution as some sellers may try to pass off fan made cels as real production cels.

# Rilezu

A Rilezu is a newish sort of reproduction, they are not Production pieces persay, however, a true rilezu comes in an edition of 1 and based upon the final production douga of one of the more famous sequences. Each rilezu will be hand painted and in some cases numbered as a traditional cel would be. The legit Rilezu will come with the original production douga used in the making of the show.
