Phoenix Gallery One Year Anniversary Update

[Quacker]

G'day fellow A.Beta's

I do hope everyone's Christmas' was filled with love, enjoyment & pressies

I cannot believe it has been One year since I first decided to take the plunge and create an online Gallery over @ rubberslug. It was created on the 01/01/09 and yeh, it was kind of a New Year's resolution to try something entirely new and establish contact with people who also enjoyed the hunting & collecting this hobby brings.
Over the 12month period, I believe I have achieved those goals - building up the collection slowly but surely with some great Cels - as well as liaising with some awesome, friendly people - Syan, Wendy, Ginga (still sorry about that School Rumble snipe earlier Gin) & Belldandy to name but a few.

In honour of this occasion, I have posted quite a few new Cels from my favourite series' - Nadesico, Full Metal Panic: TSR, Escaflowne (TV & Movie) - including this lovely wish list cel:

As always, any comments, feedback or suggestions is welcomed & greatly appreciated.

Also, if I may, I would like to take this opportunity to pass on my Best Wishes to you all for the upcoming New Year ahead - may it be Happy, safe & productive.

Duckie.

Congrats, Duckie, on your very strong Escaflowne additions! This crazed Dilandau:

is one of the finest I've seen, and this movie cel of Hitomi and Van:

is also extraordinary. As you say, the eyes have it, and for once Van's wings are beautiful but secondary.

Where's that School Rumble you promised? j/k Great update and look forward to your next one.

Thankyou everyone for the kind words & encouragement

Lol School Rumble will hopefully arrive next February Ginga.

A brand new Banner is currently under construction now Bell, though I will probably need to pm you, make sure I have completed it correctly.
Oh if you ever get the chance Bell, do check out "Nadesico".
It is a blend of a lot different genres: Sci-fi, comedy, mecha, romance - but done in such a tongue in cheek fashion that is makes fun at the entire anime industry & it's culture. The jokes, puns & references come thick & fast, yet there is a solid story underneath. And even though the Dvds were released waayyy back in 2000/2001 - the English dub (for once) is actually on par with its Japanese counterpart.

Thanks Duckie! i look forward to seeing your banner and that series when i get a chance!

take care!
