Artbook Pre-orders Up!

Hey guys, we have finally completed the artbook and it is now available for pre-order! This 28 page artbook will showcase the styles and talents of artists from the UBC Anime Club Artists group.

We are currently taking $10 deposits for the artbook, and the tentative price is about $20. Options for payment include cash, or credit card. If you choose to pay by credit card, we will send an invoice to your email address.

The details, including cost breakdowns, can be found at ubcani.com/orders/artbook.

Here are some sample pages that you can expect from the book!

Art Contest: Artbook Cover and 20th Anniversary!

We’re making an artbook this year featuring our many talented artists, and like all books, it will need a cover! We’ll be holding a contest to decide which artwork will be featured. The theme will be UBC Anime Club’s 20th Anniversary.

The art book will be B5 in size. You can choose to submit:

The rules:

  1. You must be a member for the 2016-2017 year.
  2. You may submit multiple entries.
  3. All submissions must be original. This means no content from any other artist, anime, manga, or any other copyrighted material.
  4. Artworks should represent UBC Anime Club in some way – you may use our mascots and logo in your entry as you wish.
  5. Entries must be tasteful – meaning no nudity, gore, etc.

The UBC Anime Club executive team reserves all rights to disqualify submissions at their discretion if any of the above requirements are not met.
