I hope everyone has had a reasonably awesome summer. There were a few conventions, cosplay meetups, etc. And of course all the other great stuff we did (like
Athrun345 got to visit Ireland!). Here's to the hope that next summer is even better!
Anyways, got quite a bit of important news to share with ya =
UPCOMING EVENTS: The big one -
AkiCon!!! As was posted a while ago, our group won't be having a panel there this year. However, members will most certainly be involved in the con in other ways - as convention staff (Alan), running other panels (
GinKyubiKitsune's Anime Murder Game & the Crazy Anime Dating Game [both regular & the 18+ version]), participating in major events (I'll be in "Team Collateral Damage" in the Final Fantasy Fight Tournament along with Victor Malice), running a table in Artist's Alley (visit
AkirasArtWorld's table!), etc. To those of you attending - may AkiCon's glorious 5th con be awesome indeed!
A New Album Folder: That's right! We have a new folder added to the group's album, "Cosplay WIPs and Props". All sorts of work in progress photos that you have of cosplays or of props, as well as of finished props themselves, can all go in this folder. Because it's always great to see all of the creativity and hard work that you put into everything you've made (or are currently making).
EDIT: Adding the new folder enlightened me to the fact that some of the other ones were locked & unable to be uploaded into. Thankfully, that error's been corrected... everyone can upload to all folders with ease.
Don't forget about UD's Facebook page: If you're not a member of UD's Facebook page yet, PLEASE join! There's all sorts of events, discussions, dueling/card info, and other cool stuff being posted there on a regular basis by the captains & members. Also it's the best place for posting any important questions that you might have about anything in relation to the group as a whole (like fun stuff to do at cons, panel ideas, advice for improvements to make, etc.). I'd highly suggest that any artists in the group certainly join if you haven't already... the FB page is a great place to show off your latest masterpiece to the other members, advertise taking commissions/selling stuff, and anything else art-related.
Additional News To Report: Anyone want to make a banner with UD's logo on it? We could sure use some sort of easy to display banner for photoshoots and other events, and a sign is also fine as long as it's big enough to be easily noticed. Either use the actual logo itself (ask me for it), or the cool advertisement poster that
ShiroCael made with the logo (you'll find that in the Ad Art folder of the group album).
Sad news:
Domonkasho71 has decided for personal reasons to no longer cosplay. It's a bummer that he feels like doing that, but it's his choice. Of course he's still more than welcome to attend all our events and panels, and it'd be very nice of the rest of you to wish him luck for the future. Who knows - maybe if things improve a lot in his life, he'll want to cosplay again. At least he'll forever have the honor of being the group's first (and currently only) Jim Cook cosplayer and one damn fine panel speaker...
