Alright, I'mma cut straight to the chase, I'm canceling/putting Tankmen Plus+ Disc 2 on indefinite hiatus. On top of being super busy with commission work, school work, and other personal projects, I just don't have the motivation to work on it as much as I used to. I'm gonna try and think up a way to upload a compilation of the finished clips and finished animatics, but as it stands right now, I don't think I'm gonna be finishing the project itself anytime soon. I'm very sorry to those of you who have been waiting and following me for the past 2-3 years solely for Tankmen content, but I simply don't have the passion for it anymore.


I do plan to continue uploading cartoons and art that I am passionate about in the future, so if you still do care about that, feel free to stick around.


Thank you so much to my friends/family who helped me through the creation process of Tankmen Plus+ up to this point through voice acting and animation help, and a HUGE thanks to all of you who sent in your tanksonas for me to work with. Once again, I'm sorry to leave you all hanging like this, but hey, maybe in the future, I'll come back around to this and actually finish it.


Until then, though, thanks for reading! Much love.

Yo, everyone!

I know it's been damn near 2 years since Tankmen Plus+ Disc 1 and a little over 1 year since the Disc 2 Trailer, but trust me, I am absolutely still working on Disc 2 in addition to new FNAF cartoons. Idk if anyone still remembers that Tankmen Plus+ is a thing or not, but I'm making it my personal mission to see it through to the end.

Most importantly, I will be working at my own pace, so I'll briefly breakdown my work schedule.


Basically, I'll be working on each project on an alternating weekly basis. During one week, I'll work on Tankmen, and the following week, I'll work on Security Malware Breached cartoons or whatever small project I feel like working on.


Tankmen Weeks:

Over the course of the Tankmen weeks, I'll mostly be working on finishing the battle sequences and dialogue scenes. I have a lot of progress on the fight scenes done, and once I finish those, I'll, thankfully, have the most difficult part out of the way. I have some boards from Chipollo as well. I estimate Disc 2 being around 30% complete. Hopefully, I can finish it by Christmas, but that's very wishful thinking. Regardless, I will do my best to make it the best it can be.


FNAF/Other Project Weeks:

This one's a bit more free-form, and I can work on pretty much whatever else I want to work on as long as it's not Tankmen in order to avoid burnout. Primarily, these weeks will focus on SMB animations. Recently, I've gotten into making cartoons based on the "FNAF Security Malware Breached" series of comics, and it's helped me grow a lot as an animator. I know not everyone on this site likes the very "kid-friendly" nature of these cartoons, but I enjoy making them a lot, and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.


Important Life Update:

This is the last thing, but, it's important. I just started art college! I'm not 100% sure of the workload I'm going to be given, but it'll almost certainly impact the amount of time I have to work on these projects. I'll still work on them when I can, but I want to put my school work first. So, progress may or may not slow down on these depending on how much other school work I have to take care of.


If you made it to the end of this, thank you, I assume it means you actually care about my current situation or the progress of my projects. I promise I'll try to upload more and I will try my damnedest to finish Tankmen Plus+ Disc 2 either by the end of 2023 or the start of 2024. If you wanna see more of my art, I just uploaded some character sheets of the FNAF SMB cast, or you can follow my Instagram or Twitter (no, I will not be calling it 'X') for more frequent posts.


To anyone who's been waiting for Disc 2, I'm reeallly sorry it's taking so long, but I appreciate your patience! Thank you so much for reading, and have a great rest of your day! :]

Ok, sooo... a lot happened since the last update post...

The basic gist is; while I was trying to fix my dogshit computer, the last 2 files I had open in flash were corrupted. One of those files just happened to be the first half of Disc 2. And I couldn't fix it, meaning that whole (roughly) 11:06 chunk of the video is completely gone, and I have to start from the ground up again. At least for the 1st half of disc 2. It reeeallly sucked and killed a lot of my motivation to work for a while since I had a lot of cool stuff on it that I really wanted to show.

Not all is bad though. A lot of that footage was completely out of date, and I would've needed to update a ton of it which probably would've been more tedious than starting from scratch, so now the movement can match how I animate now instead of how I animated back when the first half was first created (almost a year ago now, jeez). In addition to looking better, I have a little bit of help with the workload thanks to my friend (and extreme lifesaver in this case) chipollo who agreed to help me out with some of the storyboarding process (Thank you again, dude. You are a legend.) Please show them some love and 5-star their art. Thanks for reading and for your patience. Much love!!


TL;DR Disc 2 is gonna get held back a little bit longer due to technical issues, but it's gonna look better than how did initially now that I'm more experienced in animation than I was when I first drafted it, and since I have help from Chipollo.

TL;DR: I'm working on Tankmen Plus+ Disc 2 at my own pace, so it can look the best it can. Because of that, I'm not putting a release date on it, but I hope you'll love it when it comes out.


Yo! I've gotten a few people on NG and YouTube alike ask about disc 2, and I just wanna say that I started progress on it recently. However, I'm not gonna stick a release date on it since I don't wanna rush myself and work myself to the bone trying to get it finished by then. I just wanna work on it at my own pace and make it look the best it possibly can. In addition, I wanna work on other things in between working on Tankmen. Idk how many of you will see this, but if you read all the way through, thank you, and I hope you all can see and feel the love I'm putting into disc 2 when it comes out! :)

Hello, new followers! I'm glad you liked Tankmen Plus+ Disc 1! I hope y'all can stick around for Disc 2 and other projects I have in the future. Next video is Friday Night Funkin'/Halloween themed, and I also wanna make a submission for the movie trailer jam. So, stay tuned, and thanks for liking my work!

To the few of you who follow me, I have something BIG planned that will be finished soon, sorry for my very dry presence on the site, I'll post more frequently here as soon as this project is done.
