I got my first computer :0

This news is about 7 months late, but my god will this bad boy run blender, photoshop, animate, newgrounds, etc, better than my laptop now.

Fly high my little war machine ~ you will be missed (￣^￣)ゞ

Anyways what does this entail? For starters, no more sweaty palms! Harder, better, faster, stronger rendering time. Cooler tank renders if I may add. (ง˘ω˘)ว

Meaning I'll have a chance to make better projects without worrying about blue screening and crying. 

These upcoming projects will have no issue with the heavy load I'm gonna let out.

So, onto the nitty gritty, what's been up these past few months?

Besides getting adjusted to the new PC, which took about 2 months to build with my experience, and working partime, I've had a lot of illustrations piling up behind me that take me as far back as 2020! So in these following days, expect a lot of old and recent works to be uploaded momentarily before I get back to animating full throttle mode.

Yes this means Tankmen Unloaded will take a backseat in production! Early 2023, take it or leave it!

BUT

There is a silver lining to all of this. Because of the support we got from everyone, whether it be from commenting, rating, and even just viewing our content, there has been great motivation to improve from the first half.

THANK YOU! Seriously! We are about to reach 10k views on this silly short animation! Thank you Mr. Fulp for the front page!

And thank you random Newgrounds citizen!

ᴳᵉᵗˢ ᵐᵉ ᵉᵛᵉʳʸᵗᶦᵐᵉ

Me, KCJ and Corey hope that with your patience we can improve the 2nd half of the animation tenfold!

Expect a few things to change in priority as we will be holding off Part 2 to release an updated version of O' that Stingy Dragon as a blender test flex that will help us get ready for Part 2!

Please look forward to it! :D

Following this, I've been practicing animation excercises in my spare time to get adjusted for 2D animation back again.

Knowing that these few practices will lead up to Part 2 and beyond, fills me with determination.

So as to give an idea of what I'll be aiming for:

• More drawings!
• Script rework of Tankmen Unloaded: Part 2 will begin shortly after Pico Day!
• O' that Stingy Dragon Revamped in these upcoming months
• And in the near future... a collab 0_0 no specifics yet ;)

TL:DR

First PC = better animation. Tankmen Unloaded Part 2 Soonish, expect O' that Stingy Dragon to cum first, more drawings on da way, yadda yadda and thank you.

Thanks guys for being so cool. Tankcocks or without tankcocks, I hope you stick around for content regardless. As for a little sneak peek towards my Pico Day drawing, there ya go! Tankcocks! There's one more on my Twitter but y'all already know that ;)

Catch you later on Pico Day! ✌

Wow an update! 0_0

Feel free to check out the updated version for the HELLO WORLD :) TRAILER

Bringing back those summer memories. I can't believe it's been 5 months already...

First year here on Newgrounds! ʷᵒʷ

Where to even begin?! (LONG THREAD, kinda)

I missed giving an afterword when the Summer Jam event had fully ended cause I couldn't find the right words to describe how much I appreciate this community. Due to a very funky game, I remember joining in early January, not really doing much of anything but maybe rating a few artworks here and there. And then I'm here, ending off the year with about 5 animations, 11 ish complete art pieces, and 207 followers?!

Thank you for 200+ followers btw which is long overdue, but I am extremely thankful :D

Since I barely finish anything, it's not that surprising for others but for the amount I did.... I'm extremely satisfied :)

Funk, Pico Day & Summer Fest

I've been in an artistic rut for a few years now. I barely bothered to post my art on Instagram anymore and I just went pretty silent in all socials. The FNF Animation Jam was basically the start of getting out of the rut. Those early months were absolute chaos due to having contacted covid while I was animating lol. I can still feel the pump from that. I'm still surprised to this day that I managed to push something out! Pico day was when I got a bit more into the community and met some wonderful people that if I had to @ everyone this text will take me all the way to the new year, and then following the Summer Fest I practically began animating more often than drawing. Never could have I expected this year to be my most productive and I find myself thanking this website for its support countless times. I can't thank these lovely peeps enough for their help during the Fest (Go check em out if you haven't)

The Summer Animation Jam

The jam hosted by Brandy proved to me to be an extremely special event from which to learn from. I felt like my back has been killing me for months now, but the pain was so worth the feedback! We got a crew review pick, even had one front paged which absolutely made our entire day that time. And heck we also got 10th place overall so fricking INCREDIBLE, I felt like a [Bigshot]. Me and KCJ are extremely thankful for the amount of feedback we received from the NG community. I read most of the comments you all put out, it's very nice :]. I've never animated full projects like those before. Most end up as storyboards, never to be seen by public eye, but perhaps once in a blue moon, I could continue them. Truly, this gave me a boost of confidence that I didn't realize I needed until now, so I am very grateful to have such wonderful support from the community itself.

I want to thank (again) every single person who has helped out during the NG Summer Jam. I will forever appreciate you all from the depths of my heart and wish you all the best in your future endeavors. I hope we can someday cross paths again and return the favor ten-fold!

A BILLION THANK YOU's

Updates

• I was super happy to contribute to the Toy Story 2 Collab by @WesMakowski! I'm glad I contributed, it looks to be amazing so far. Take your time with the finishing touches man. I know I'll be taking my time to rewatch it anew once it gets uploaded here on Newgrounds. I know everyone will love it, so patience!

• Regarding the updated Trailer from the Summer Jam (Hello World) I was a bit sad that I wasn't able to finish it in time before the new year, but I started fully working on getting it complete just recently 2 days ago. It is so close to nearing completion. I really have no excuse as to why it wasn't updated sooner seeing as I've worked on other things during my free time. I was extremely bummed out about the blue screen and took a momentary breather but now I am in the gist of things by all things considered! To all who have contributed, I haven't forgotten I promise, pinky promise. It will just take a bit longer due to my poor negligence. I apologize greatly, it is on the way!

Leaving off on a more positive note... My greatest thanks to the Newgrounds community for being so awesome. Thank you all. Cheers for more future content next year! 2022 will be pretty interesting seeing as how me and KCJ are planning to continue these following projects. Mark those calendars for Part 2 of more cock jokes, hell yeah! Maybe next year I should be more organized and schedule better yeahhhhhhhhh!

Happy New Year 2022 Newgrounds!

Where did you guys come from :D

100 + peeps, it may not seem much for some, but I really appreciate every single individual who has followed thus far, it honestly seems a bit overwhelming as silly as it sounds. Expect some stuff every now and then I suppose :]

If you read this far in... most people post a nice picture to celebrate their 100... but I got so busy I didn't make anything but the Tankman Unloaded video so here's a crispy MSPaint in commemoration of this milestone

Time to abuse my power... go dm KCJ567 telling em to upload more

WHAT AN AMAZING FEST THIS HAS BEEN! STANPAI & LILSPOOK THANK YOU!! <3

Many wonderful thanks to itsabluebanana & mrjoeyprosser for the lovely help on the Summer Fest Animation backgrounds <3 Not only did I have the honors of contributing to the rockin' NG Summer Fest Intro, but I also got the chance to meet many amazing people through this fest. To all the new peeps seeing this Hello and Welcome! :D

The fun has only just begun! I'll continue on my drawing/animating shenanigans. Planning on doing more collaborative projects (one is definitely going to be for the 2nd round of the Summer Jam) all designated to be completely animated sometime around the end of this summer so look forward to that!

Likewise with animation, I'll continue on drawing illustrations when the stars align, but in the meantime I wish all a fabulous summer!

Peace Out!
