Fan Cel project gets into gear

This week I was excited to receive an email from an artist who hadn't been in touch for a long time.
A year ago I messaged her regarding ideas for a fan cel commission I had been planning and nothing came of it. I was informed she'd moved on from this interest and was busy with other things; that's fair enough but left me a little disappointed.
Another artist was keen to help out but I didn't feel she had quite the skill level I was looking for so the project went on hold.
Out of the blue my first choice artist contacted me "out of guilt" and said she could work on my COMMISSION [she thought there was one cel to paint] inbetween her busy work life. After chatting she agreed to do both cels and I'm really looking forward to it! ^__^
Both should be completed within 6 weeks and all I care to say at this stage is that one will be from Ninja Scroll and the other is an Angel Blade hanken-type image.
She'd like to feature the Ninja Scroll cel in her tutorial so it'll get some extra online coverage in the coming months.
This is a great opportunity to have some art from scenes which I could never hope to obtain directly from the original anime. Plus, I get to direct how they turn out with a little personalisation thrown in ;)
The cels will appear on this webpage when they're done.
