Showing #2: Anime Previews & Manga Round Robin

This week we’ll be selecting some new anime from the fall season to preview. Later on we’ll put up a poll and decide which ones we want to watch for the rest of the semester, so keep in mind which ones your favourites are!

After dinner break, we’ll have a manga round robin game (along with some other possible activities) that involves swapping drawings and creating ridiculous stories. 😉 This event is a lot of fun, so don’t miss it!
There will also be an artist meetup during this time, so if you want to chat with some other artists in the club, this will be happening in a nearby room.

Friday, October 3rd

5:00 – 6:15: Season Previews (animes to be decided)
6:15 – 7:00 Dinner Break
7:00 – 10:00: Manga Round Robin & other activities

 

This week’s newsletter includes updates about our Halloween Social, survey & raffle for Halloween Parade and Expo tickets, and mascot naming contest. Click here.

Updates

Hello everyone! Our sponsors page has been updated with our sponsors for the 2014-2015 year. If you’ve got a membership and you love to buy anime merchandise or cosplay items then it would be a good idea to see if your favourite stores have a discount for you.

Other than that, we hope to see you at our Icebreaker today at 5pm! Remember that this event is open to everyone (whether you have a membership or not) so bring your friends and check it out.

Our regular showings will begin next week, at BUCH 104, 5pm – 10pm. Stay tuned for a chance to enter a raffle sometime next week too!

The rules:

  2. You may submit multiple entries.
  3. Entries can be any medium: Black-and-white, sketched, digital, etc.
  4. All submissions must be completely original. This means no content from any other artist, anime, manga, or any other copyrighted material.
  5. Entries must be tasteful meaning no nudity, sexuality, gore, etc.
  6. You may use our mascots in your art entry if you wish.

The winner will be decided based upon two criteria: creative design and skill.

Weekly Spotlight

Would you like to see your drawing or photo featured on one of our newsletters? Submit your art to info@ubcani.com and you may see it in a future email!

Rules and restrictions:

  • The width limit is 350px. The height is more flexible, but please be reasonable (i.e. no extremely tall images.) You may provide us with a link to the full image if the size is too restricting to include in the newsletter as well.
  • Please only submit one thing at a time. Don’t swamp us, please! It’s fine to submit something new after a while (at least wait until after your previous submission is published).
  • Unlike our contests, fanart is allowed. You may also use our mascots if you wish.
  • Submissions should be tasteful. This means no nudity, sexuality, gore, etc.
  • Both traditional and digital art is fine. However, please ensure that the scan of your traditional art is clear (not too dark, not blurry, etc.)

We have the right to refuse your submission if it does not meet these conditions, or if we want to give other members a chance to feature their work.

Feel free to give us a short description (1-2 sentences) of your submission to include and your name/alias so we can credit you. Please also include something like “Weekly Spotlight” in the title of your email.

Happy drawing!
