December was a wonderful month! Big thanks again to @Splatterdash, @GeoKureli, @TheDyingSun, @BrandyBuizel, @KnoseDoge and the many artists and musicians who gave us another memorable Tankmas ADVENTure, as well as everyone who stopped in daily to appreciate it.
Thank you everyone who visits NG regularly and shares their work here, or votes and reviews! Last year was filled with so many great moments; I hope we can keep building that momentum throughout 2022 and see all sorts of great things happen.
The start of a new year / winter is generally a tough time of year. Remember that you are an observer of your feelings but you aren’t your feelings. Try to exercise and get some sunlight or Vitamin D!
