- We are delighted to announce that Alcon '08 will run on 5-7 September 2008 at De Montfort University, Leicester City Campus. Alcon is an extremely friendly and innovative anime convention that aims to provide something fresh and exciting to its attendees. At just £25 for three day entry, and just £19.50 per night for accommodation, the convention represents excellent value.
As well as anime screening, there shall be a video gaming room, an Artist Ally, a Cosplayer's Hangout, a Card-Gaming/Roleplaying room, an Anime Bar, a Dealers room and much more. So, whether you want to chill out and watch some anime, nip down to the bar and have a few drinks, party all night, or maybe have a laugh with some friends on a video game, this convention will be for you. You do not have to be a hard-core otaku to enjoy it!

Life Drawing classes at ALcon!!!
We're pleased to announce that Sally Thompson, a contributor to Viper Comics' Parable anthology, and a finalist in Tokyopop's Rising Stars of Manga, will be attending Alcon and conducting a life drawing panel.
Quote-
"Not just about drawing fruit! How can life-drawing techniques improve your manga?
In this exciting workshop, participants will learn steps they can use in their own work,
and create a manga illustration inspired by life on-site!
This is a participatory workshop demonstrating the application of life-drawing to manga through the creation by each participant of amanga illustration using as a base a sketch done from a live model (clothed, obviously!).
Topics covered include gesture, proportions, contour, clothing, conversion to manga and possibly a peer critique. The panel will be pretty comprehensive is expected to last between 1 and a half and 2 hours."
Overall, a great chance to learn some new tricks and improve your artwork!
