Slayers Cels - Martina

(NFS)	My first cel of Martina. The angle's very odd, but I really like it. Martina's such a delightful nut. She's just the sort of character I usually find myself liking. She's so energetic, determined, and downright crazy. I knew I was going to like her as soon as she started up with Zoamelgustar. She's also got one truly unusual hairdo.
(NFS)	One of the first cels I went after on YJ. I just loved the Brass Rackets episode. It was such silly fun. And, of course, I really enjoy any episode which has the characters dressing up in strange costumes. Martina was great in this episode, so I was looking around for a cel of her in this outfit. There's just something about a game of tennis with stringless rackets and a glowing ball of fury.
(FO)	Another one of Martina in her little Brass Rackets outfit, looking shocked and displeased. Her hair's so cute, tied up like that. And my pointless observation: the sweatdrop on her face (which can't really be seen in the thumbnail..) was painted with the same colour used for her hair.
(FO)	Another cute little Martina. While I really like her, I never really thought I'd end up with so many cels of 'er. It just seems to have turned out that way.. I finally managed to place the scene after I decided to rewatch the entire series. She's hiding with "the cute little boy" while she watches Lina & Co. take on Gaav.
(FO)	A cute little Martina, which does a good job of showing off her full outfit. I got this one when I bought several other Slayers cels from a private dealer. For such a small shot, the detail's actually very good, and even with the size, it's nice to have an actual full-figure shot of her.
(NFS)	Another cel from ep. 25 of Slayers Next. Those last couple episodes were just the best. Here she is, making a last-ditch attack with Zangulus's sword, while she tries to get Lina to snap out of it. I really liked Martina in those last couple episodes. Flaky and crazy as she always was, she really pulled it together toward the end of the series. Not the best shot from the scene, admittedly, but this scene was such a wishlist item, I'm really glad I got it.
(NFS)	Moments after the above cel, comes this one. Sadly, it's missing the layer for Lina, whose bangs fall down into that cleft in Martina's hair. It was kind of strange, since Martina was just the crazy rival throughout the season, yet she probably got the best scene of all the supporting characters. Under all that strange, Martina's such a great person.
(NFS)	At last! Another Martina cel! I'd half given up on collecting Slayers -- I have so many other interests, and it seems like everyone is going after Slayers.. I just haven't the money to keep up with everyone. But this came along, and I couldn't resist. It's such a gorgeous shot of Martina; the detail and shading are excellent, and the pose and expression are just quintessential Martina. Give us a good nutty laugh, you amusing loon!
