An old-time traditional animator’s term, a “Key” is a thumbnail of a character or a background element with color reference.
Acme’s Character Keys are composed of a cel layer floated over a lithographic background.
The cel features a color rendition of the character while the background features sketches and color reference.
Each character key comes matted with a title tag and a certificate of authenticity.
Matted measurements are 8 inches by 6 inches.
1000 piece edition $35.00 (will be available at Comic-Con and our website beginning July 11th)
This sketchplate features original Joe Johnston sketches of the Zoom II Speeder Bike photo-etched on aircraft-grade aluminum.

The sketchplate itself measures 7 inches by 3.35 inches and is mounted on a foam core spacer to “float” on the black acrylic backer.
