These are for the people that seemingly check in from time to time, and the people intrigued in reading this. If you want to proceed, despite this being very short, be my guest!

P.S. - This is a VERY SHORT update, so no Status, Updates, or Remarks yet. Not even 'experimentations', so sorry for that-

..whew, uh-... wow.

First of all, Pico Day sure was a blast! The entries, the many people celebrating it, I can't help but feel happy about it, especially since it's a first celebrating a Newgrounds holiday for me.

But, remember when I said something was damn sure going to happen? I was right, but not in the way I was expecting...

If you still want to scroll down and see this, you might as well see a few explanations on why I named the title like that.

First of all, sweet jesus, 50 fans!

It's a crime I haven't thought of something to celebrate this milestone. I'll make sure I do something, I promise that!

Though, if you have any suggestions, please please PLEASE do tell, thanks!-

Second, I won an Art Raffle?

The most bizarre thing is that I woke up to this, even more bizarre is me being the first on the list..? I don't know if this is pure luck, or what? Either way, 'grateful' doesn't even DESCRIBE what I'm feeling right now.

Third, check out these Pico Day entries, will ya?

If you've seen my last post, you probably saw me mention a few people I mentioned prepping something for Pico Day, so, here you go!

@graphstatistics - Kiddie Strangling

@Mini25Cookie - Pico Day

@MyLamda - Hand of God

@RoyalBlueXIII - Class of 99' Reunion

There are much more aside from them, so if you see any more entries lying around, if you got the time, check them out, okay?

Last, but not the least, play the Pico Clicker, goddamn it!

And I'm not saying this only because I'm there or RoyalBlue is, but since it's a BIG COLLABORATION, y'hear? The best you can do is give it a few clicks if you're bored and got the time.

SOS - I need ideas for the 50 Fans Milestone, if you have any, comment 'em down!

...right, I feel thirsty, better get a drink. Goddamn it, Pico Day, you've earned my praise and unquestioned respect, all hail the Orange-Haired Shooter-

These are for the people that seemingly check in from time to time, and the people intrigued in reading this. If you want to proceed, despite this being very short, be my guest!

It's the final countdown, huh? Just one more day before Pico Day and we can-

Okay, I'm not even going to try another reference.

This one, again, fairly short, except I'm going to make it more.. 'abundant' than before, but not TOO abundant. I wanna try out some new things, so inputs would be nice!

..don't mind the title, if it wasn't obvious, it's abou-

Status

I'm trying to get myself together at the moment, so I can get back right on track. Then into a new schedule. Not saying I hate it, not saying it's a peaceful life, but it's alright-...ish. I also feel as if I'm slowly opening up more to a few things, so that's that. Even planning a few things myself, but even I know there's work to be done and did. So I gotta do those first.

...hopefully.

...................hopefully.

Updates

So, what do you do if you leave me in a room with a newly-installed Audacity? It's simple, I mess with it a ton. ESPECIALLY since I can now sound like Pico whenever I please.

...is this proof for me to be separated from or kept with Audacity?

...ahem.

Okay, what else, uh.. In terms of Updates, I.. may need more ideas for Updates, well..

I sort of plan to use Audacity more just to fill up the 'Audio' tab of my account more and more, so any requests are open, unless you can download Audacity and refer to tutorials on Youtube like I do.

Right, not saying I'll stop uploading art, but I do plan on doing more scenarios/short stories like my Ashes entry, maybe even more fanart like Lament, or more on the 'Something ain't right' bandwagon I haven't touched in a while, or, well, try and participate onto more Art Trades again, though that part's the most unsure.

Remarks

Now I just gotta wait and see for what Pico Day's going to uphold.

I don't know what'll happen, or what'll I do when it comes, but it will SURE be something, and I'm THAT damn sure that something crazy COULD happen.

...either that, or I'm overhyping myself, haha. Have a good one.

Like stated before, I wanted to try out some new things, so... I decided, why not do something like... well, I suppose free clout in a sense? I don't know how to put it, but these are the names that popped up in my head that, well, deserve recognition.

@CIEIRMusic - He's interesting, I must say. He has art, he has music, but all-in-all, they seem to tell a story, all of them, actually! Whether it be fictional or based on fact, it's an interesting take either way. So if you have the time, go check him out!

@CandySweetssJr - He's one to make designs and, well, do experimentations. And believe me when I say it's STUNNING. One moment there's fantasy, another there's abstract. another there's realism, so on, so forth. To me, I believe he's VERY underappreciated, so please, please, please, check him out. (...I'll be VERY honest, I.. really do not know your gender, so please, correct me if you're wrong, and sorry for any offense taken.)

@doctoRclump97997 - Ho. Ly. SHIZA, the bizarreness of this account mesmerizes me each and every entry. Don't get me started on their posts. This is definitely not a reason for you to check out the account itself, definitely, (Right, no offense if there was any taken, I actually like it, to be fair. Now do I dread the day where it's Nightmare Rat vs Gr-)

@Fenixshifter - Despite him moving on from GMOD makima, he's about to start with 2D Animations since he feels like it's the next step/Something he can consider a 'passion', I honestly recommend you follow him in his journey. Almost forgot to mention, his award show when it releases! (Thanks for the shoutout, man!)

@graphstatistics - He's currently working on Half-Tale, but despite it being just 2 pages, to me, I think it's interesting. So if you're a fan of either Half-Life or Undertale, maybe even both, feel free to check by his account from time to time! I'm also helping out, in a way. (To be honest, I'm thankful for both him being the first one to commission something from me, and him being a close friend. And, uh, I guess https://www.mrman314.tech/minecraft_on_discord too, fu-)

@JimmyBiscuit - Her art style's both changed and improved overtime, from digital art to, well, digital art, except it looks like watercolor. Sometimes both, so check her out! Chances are, she'll make something breathtaking.

@Mini25Cookie - They might not have much art at the moment, but they have a Pico Day animation coming up, so check it out once it's released!

@MyLambda - He's the odd one out in terms of art style on the ones of this list, but in an interesting manner. If realism using soft brushes (At least I think it is, feel free to correct me), as well as the usage of monotone, contrast, colors, etcetera, he's your best bet!

@Purbell - Variety of content, I must say. NSFW, SFW, all that stuff. Even random and, uh.. the latter? Well, this one's your piece of cake. (Then again, there's also a mini-series there called 'Purb' that might peak your interest, though even if there's only 2 entries, I suggest watch out for any more!)

@RoyalBlueXIII - He's been improving in art style, as far as I can tell, so if you got the time to do the crime, check his art out! He's also cooking up something for Pico Day, so check that out, too! Especially since the previews seem intriguing thus far...

@441010 - Again, not much to show at the moment, but the art style, it's so... Wait, wait wait, you expect ME to tell you? Go there and find out yourself!

Sure, the list (As of April 30, 2021) includes the names that popped up in my head, feel free to tell if you want to be included, or if someone should, even for the most randomest of reasons. Again, be my guest.

Right, I plan on mentioning more people, if this gets positive reception, and/or if I get requests to add-

I should really get to know your genders more... Either that, or I use 'they', someone help me-

Oh right, *ahem*, what should I do for 50 fans..?

These are for the people that seemingly check in from time to time, and the people intrigued in reading this. If you want to proceed, despite this being very short, be my guest!

...whew. THAT was interesting. Especially since Newgrounds crashed because of the hype of Friday Night Funkin' Week 7.... Hot DAMN, I say. Especially with the kickstarter. I'd help out, even due to the prizes, but I'm broke, that's something.

.....okokokokok- Wait, wait wait, no, this isn't the 'Tankmen Appreciation Thread'-

-though inform if there is any-

-But something regards updates. There's a few good news and bad news though compared to before, so... let's get right to it!

Status

Ok so as usual, I'm doing alright, thanks for asking. Though I'm in some sort of 'hiatus'? For now? I wouldn't really say that since a few things are planned for uploading. Mostly since I'm in a 'clutch' of sorts due to school, having to complete every submission including those that haven't been/overdue.

Updates

As said earlier, a few things are planned for uploading. One for Pico Day (Though not directly by me, I think), and another, well, not, but they're somewhat related to each other in terms of-

Wait, nevermind, that'd be a dead giveaway.

Anywho, I might also be uploading less due to IRL activities and having to give a few 'contributions', though I'd like to not go into detail. But then again, my PMs, of course, are open.

Remarks

Not much remarks for this one, but.. hoo boy. Might go play the entirety of FNF's Story Mode because of the HUGE update.

...of course, if it gets back on. How did we get here as a fanbase/community? Having crashed the very entry of the game because of hype?-

Hey, I'm not judging, you guys do you unless it's.. immoral, then don't dot that.

But, aside from all that, nothing else aside from 'Hope you guys have a decent, if not perfect, day', because, well... yeah. See you at the 4th! If there will be any.

Oh right, one small thing. I've been thinking of doing something like 'adding a small doodle' every end-of-update-post. Y'know, as an added bonus. Something like an exclusive, but not really.

Sadly, before you proceed, it wont be Captain//Tankman because I've already prepared this very few days before this post, and to be fair I was expecting it to come out on Pico Day and not today, but early bird gets the worm.

This one's based on a comment from the first upload I did at the start of 2021, it ain't much, but I also used this to do small practice on how to do shading a bit better. In terms of where shadows go, and all that. What do you guys think?

Waiting for something to happen?

These are for the people that seemingly check in from time to time, and the people intrigued in reading this. If you want to proceed, despite this being very short, be my guest!

Hey! It's me again! Just thought a few things need to be updated, especially since stuff is 'round the corner. Alright, I'll stop jilly-jabbing, and start talking.

Status Update

Again, like before, I'm doing fine-..ish. Now, you see, the academic year is about to end next week and that means extra pressure. No worries, though, I got a few friends to help me blow some steam, but feel free to just, y'know, chat!

Plans

Aside from one (possible) last Pico Day thing, I'm gonna have to push the things I am working alone on to next week (Including a commission I got yet to start on, but I might post a filler just to satisfy a possible wait...) just to make sure I don't feel more pressured to do one thing instead of the other, but I'll still be active 'round here, so no worries.

But if there's one plan you want to know, I plan on making something... 'big', in a sense. Not a milestone celebration though, but something from a series not much know about, that is, well, big. Speaking of milestone, I should really make something when the time comes.

Last Remarks

Not much like last time, but... well, if there's something you want me to do, or if you're interested with something, feel free to tell me! Though please keep note of my remark in 'plans'. If you got stuff to tell me, PMs are open! And.. again, that's about it..! Have a swell night! Or morning!

i may or may not be changing the colors of this account to fit an upcoming 'occasion'...

These are for the people that seemingly check in from time to time, and the people intrigued in reading this. If you want to proceed, despite this being very short, be my guest!

Alright, now that's settled, hey! This is a first. And this is practically what the title says. Keep note that this is a first for me, so criticism is also welcome.

* Self Status

So I'm doing okay. Sort of occupied with IRL Stuff until mid-April. That's practically about it.

* Plans

Not much plans that involve having to submit anything in NG aside from one last thing for Pico Day and.... that's about it aside from that. I have other plans and such. Though, I suppose I could either commission something or get involved in Art Trades again.

(Speaking of which, if you want to commission something to me or want to do an Art Trade, I'm open.)

* Closing Remarks

Again, this is a first, giving out updates and all, So not much to say and not much to update on, it's practically the norm as of now. So uh, yeah! Have a good day!

Yeah, it's what it sounds like.

Though, I'm not really the head of it, I'm mostly the one working on the Art (If I remember correctly).

If you don't know what it is somehow, then imagine Undertale characters being the characters in Half-Life. I even worked on the cover as one of my first commissions.

Page 1 is done, but not yet Page 2, so if you're interested in it, I'll give more updates!

ඞ 

So, uh, well-

Okay, so I just want some insights of a few things. Like, what do you think of it, should I change it? Etcetera.

Let's just get straight to the point:

1. Change appearance of the account as a whole?

As you may have noticed, the PFP, the banner, and the username aren't really.. well, let's just say 'my idea'. For those of you that don't know, those designs are practically assets from the RPG Maker game: Your Turn To Die. That's also why I showed of prototype designs of a mascot/pfp for the account. I'd say how the username is connected to the death game by majority, but, well, you go find it out yourself. If you want to, at least. If I should, the things that would change are just the banner and PFP since I'm not a Supporter, and I don't think I will be for the time being due to lack of money.

2. Upload more frequently?

I know this account hasn't uploaded in a while, due to, well, a few things occupying me (Though most are not serious though, please don't worry!) that's kept me from making stuff. I might as well upload a render I recently made in my free time based on someone's take on an OC of mine (If you see the name 'Niiji Olgilvie', that most likely it) to act as filler before uploading anything, well, big.

That's.. about all my concerns at the moment. Feel free to give insights!

Oh, right, and yes, I do have things planned to be sent at certain dates. For something to look forward to, expect 1 or 2 before or within a month before Pico Day.

Edit: I may have joined 2 little somethings. One with the date being set, the other? Not really. Though expect my entry for the other very, very, soon...

Well, now that you saw the first one, here's the.. finalized? Prototype?

In a way it-.. sort of fits, for me, anyway.

Though again, any comments/criticism/suggestions are open!

So long story short, have this Prototype PFP/Persona I made:

For me, a good start, but I think I know where to make changes.

Feel free to give criticism and thoughts though-
