These are my newest acquisition, not T-Cats but I know most of you guys are He-Man fans too so thought I’d share.

These are highly detailed key pencils, which are often called “beats”. They’re done by the master animators at a studio like Filmation… the artist(s) who is most skilled does the key frames of a sequence, and then the more junior animators will pencil the “in between” frames.

These beats are for the famous I have the Power sequence, and includes the pan pencil in which He-Man turns Cringer into the mighty Battlecat.

They came with the original folder, and are just really stunning in person.

Chris here…

Those are gorgeous, Mark, thank you so much for letting us have a peek at these! Would love to see hi-res scans of the pencil artwork! :smiley: Not for the first time I wish I had the funds to get into animation art collecting, this type of stuff just knocks me out every time I see it! :slight_smile:

Take care… :slight_smile:

Hahaa… I wish I had the funds to afford my hobby too!

It’s a good thing I sold off 100 cels recently or there would be no way I can make rent and credit card payments, and still pick up pieces like this.
