While not the best-armored nor the best-armed tank of The Second World War. The Sherman tanks have fought alongside American, British, Canadian, Russian, Chinese and more throughout the war. It is indeed my favorite tank from World War II.

In 1945 after the German's surprise offensive in the Ardennes, Allied forces push through the forest and assault on The Siegfried Line for the 2nd time. This time with the weakened German resistance means that the Allies push through with ease. Captain Katsuwa and his rangers, battle-hardened. Are now coming closer to the Rhine River, The last defense for the Third Reich, soon the war in Europe will come to an end...

The tank drawn here are M4 Sherman tanks, specifically M4A1E8 90W 'Sandy' Medium Tank and M4 105W 'Buster' Assault Tank, 2 of 7 main tanks in Pento's company. In my WW2 story. Pento commands Able Company of US Army 2nd Rangers Battalion. I have more than one characters for WW2 and I would like to share on the later date. (Some of which you already know if you're long-time watchers)

The drawing took 4 days to draw and inspired by Sherman tanks drawings and screenshots on Deviantart plus I just got back to World of Tanks. So if there some of you who want to play with me go ahead. I'm on the SEA server and have tanks up to tier 8. The IGN is PentoKatsuwa. If you're in the EU or NA server... tough luck. Maybe when War Thunder fix the malware shenanigans, I'll go back to play it again.

Next up is something for June 6. If you're a History Buff, you know what I'll be working on. Until then, I'll see you around.

Special thanks to GreyTheGreat, Elliott The Fox, Drako Wulf, Nicole Mandie and Peggy for allowing me to use their fursonas in the art. And especially SimonSeville1500 for history, quotes and proofreading this post.

I use CLIP Studio Paint EX for all of my artwork.
