What’s Rubberslug? It’s a resource for anime cel 
collectors. The big part is that you can make a 
free cel gallery using our nifty page creation 
tools. Already have a cel gallery? Check out the 
Resources section for a list of CG Anime and 
Collecting Guides. My apologies for this post in 
two parts, but I didn’t want to post a gigantic 
message with all of the updates, so I split them 
into New Resources and New Gallery Features.

New Resources:

CG 
Anime Database – a simple member-updated 
database that keeps track of everything in the 
past 5 years that has any computer-generated (CG) 
elements in it. Want to know if cels are 
available from your new favorite show? Check here 
first. Or, if you’re an anime whiz, help us fill 
out the blank spots. Special thanks to 
Shadowlight who filled out most of what’s already 
there.

Collecti
ng Guides – guides to collecting specific 
shows/franchises. Right now, there aren’t any 
guides. (*sniff*) I put up a sample one based on 
a fictional show to give you an idea of what 
happens when you make a guide. To all the 
veterans out there: your experiences in 
collecting may come in helpful to all the new 
people to our exciting hobby. In exchance for 
writing a short guide, I can offer to put a 
favorite cel or two into rotation on the picture 
on the home page, complete with a link to your 
web page, whether or not it is on Rubberslug. I’m 
going to take down all the commercial anime 
clipart I have in rotation there after I get a 
few people who would like to display their cels 
on the Rubberslug home page.

A big question for the collecting guides right 
now is, “can I use images in my guide?” You may, 
but right now I don’t have it so that you can 
upload images. I hope to be able to program a 
slideshow type feature for the guides so that 
guide writers can use visual aids.

That’s it for resources for now. Hope you find 
some of this useful.


Question? Comment? Feature suggestion? (I love 
these in particular!) Send feedback to noisywal
rus@mail.utexas.edu instead of 
jason@orchidflux.com as usual since we’re having 
some technical difficulties right now…..
