Behold, Eros! For I am the Holy Grail of Drawers!

Eros: God of Love by day, Panty Thief by night!


And this is my first Eros cel which came with my bet cel lot in the huge package I purchased off of Yahoo Japan. I really wasn't paying all that much attention to it during the auction-- too busy drooling over Raphael and Mikael--

*poses* Don't hate us because we're beautiful! Eww, that's gonna leave a stain! *winks*

*tries to decide if she should glare at Raphael or make lovey-dovey eyes-- why not both at once?*

Oi, angels... That's an... interesting... face. *sweatdrops*

I LOVE YUUSUKE!!! I can make faces too!

Y'know, you can try saying something else in these alt tags... *sweatdrops*

Anyway, I was quite glad to have the cel once it had arrived since I do like Eros after all. And the cel shows off his outfit quite nicely! He looks rather... curvaceous... for a guy, doesn't he?

*looks sideways at Eros* Ecchi!

Oh, get your mind out of the gutter, Mikael!

Aren't I allowed a vacation now and then?If I never wandered down into the gutter every once in awhile then I'd never find Raphael-sama at all!

Mikael takes his vacations in the gutter... *bursts out laughing*

Uh huh...

If you can't fight them... Sorry for having my mind in the gutter, (-_-)'

Although his outfit reminds me more of a beatle then a monkey...

I am *not* curvaceous! Calling me a monkey-- or a beatle-- is not nice!

Hey, I called you prince in this section, you can stand to be called a bug once or twice! Just think of Utena & the Prince of Flies! Anyway, now all I need is a close-up cel of Eros!

This cel comes from episode 22, Just Stretch Your Hand and... See?. In this scene Silky-sama's drawer has been glowing and bouncing up and down rather violently for quite awhile and Eros is just dying to open it up and see what's wrong! But-- it's Silky-sama's private drawer! Should he open it or not?

Why don't I have my own section? *goes around hacking apart anything in her way* Iie.

In my cel Eros, who has finally finished twitching and running around like a panicked chicken, has just pulled all the petals off a poor flower trying to decide whether to open the drawer or not. (You can see him clutching the remains of the flower in his right hand.) I don't know what the flower told him, but when the drawer stopped glowing and hopping he walked over to it and opened it to see--- well, go watch the series! You can't expect me to spoil everything can you?

The cel includes the A-10(drawer) and C-37 layers (Eros). As you can tell from the below screengrab, I'm missing the fallen flower petal layers (probably the B-layer). I'm uncertain if the light shining down on the drawer is a layer or special effect. Speaking of light-- the airbrushed light coming from the drawer is quite lovely set against a dark background.

Open... not open... open... not open... open... not open... oh heck, open!
Included were the matching sketches, unfortunately stapled together. I trimmed and over-sized the drawer sketch scan to save space and show the detail.

Eros: Prince or Court Jester?

Kero-chan! What are you doing on Silky-sama's drawer?

Silky-sama needs her medication again! Eros-sama can look in my drawers any day!

Home, home on the range...
