Guy: Youma Kakusei (1988) – Armored Monster – Extra-Large Vertical Original Production Cel + Production Sketch

Exceptional extra-large original production artwork from Guy: Youma Kakusei (1988).

This imposing vertical cel presents one of the OVA’s armored monster forms at an unusually large scale. The graphic impact is extraordinary: a nearly full-body composition, sharp mechanical-organic armor, elongated horns and a stark black field that gives the image the presence of a finished illustration rather than a conventional animation cel.

The set also includes an original production sketch of the armored head with color indications, offering a direct view into the design process behind the final image.

Yorihisa Uchida is a central figure in the Mauer Gallery collection, and this piece represents a particularly rare intersection with Masami Obari’s distinctive armored design language. The scale, silhouette and graphic treatment make it one of the standout OVA works in the collection.

Condition: Vintage studio-used production artwork with expected handling, tape, edge wear and age-related traces. The unusual large-format presentation and black painted field show production-era irregularities visible in the photographs. Please refer to all images for exact condition.

A museum-scale, highly displayable piece of late-1980s Japanese OVA production art.
