Some good news and some (really) bad news.

Posted by Mottis - May 1st, 2013


Well, it's been a while, huh? Sorry about that.

I guess I subconsiously decided to take a break from Newgrounds, animating and anything Bunnykill related and let me tell you... (here's the good news) I haven't been this relaxed for a long while. I have been more active in life and I'm currectly doing my best trying to get out of unemployment. My next goal is to get a driver's license and a car.

However, there's always the thought lingering, tucked deep in my head: "I need to get back to work, I need to keep working on Bunnykill, I need to, I have to, I must, there's no escape." No matter how long of a break I take, I can't shake the feeling of being "chained" like this. It's always there, causing anxiety and stress.

In addition to that, for the longest time now, working on Bk has no longer been fun, aside from a few rare brainstorming moments. The spark is simply... gone. Having to force myself to animate and then getting angry at myself because I couldn't finish even one kill today is not what I want from a hobby like this.

I think you know where I'm going with this. That's right... the bad news. I have slowly come to a realization; I cannot keep working on Bunnykill anymore. The stress that it causes is simply too much to bare. It is sad, yeah, but it's for the best. I'm sure you guys understand.

Now, Is this the end of my animating career? I sure hope not. Even though Bk no longer interests me, I have been playing around with flash, trying out fbf animation styles and doing other tests and I find it highly entertaining. So, stay tuned, who knows, maybe someday I release a completely new flash movie.

As for Bunnykill: a huge thanks to all my fans. It's been one hell of a ride <3

Well everything haz to have end and bunnykill isn't a exception hope the next series you make gets a lot of fame.

Nothing is fun if you do it too much. Any spark will burn out if you just keep forcing it to burn. BK may be no more, but it was among the first Flash series I ever watched, and I'm glad I got to watch it through to the end. And I'm glad it DID actually have an ending of sorts, rather than just dying mid-story like so many unfortunately do. Thank you for creating it for us, I know many of us are still eager to see what you come up with next.

You know what man, good for you. If BunnyKill is tying you down then the time has come. No one has any right to judge you for that. I wish you the best of luck in all your future pursuits.

Dude, I can't believe you were even thinking about a quadrilogy man. The needy fans are gettin' to 'ya. You DO seriously need a break. Who knows, after a few DIFFERING style, you might inspire yourself to animate a lil cameo to say "hey, I used to do this lol" in your later animations.

IT's been great. Bunnykill 5 part 2 was a great finale, feel good man. It's more important that you're getting more relaxed and active with life. That's the most important thing, and it's great to hear. Right now I'm trying to get my license and a car as well, albeit making very slow progress, but haha yeah. I'm a procrastinator.

The Bunnykill series did well, feel accomplished, you did great, now be happy and keep your life moving forward!!

I mean if I want Bunnykill there's more than enough length in the already made ones to go back and re-watch. IF you ever, EVER do feel like getting back into it though, maybe another big theme change would put the spice back into it for you, such as how 4 was changed to a chinese/japanese ninja and samurai theme, which I actually found to be a very interesting theme that worked out real well. Maybe a new them would spice it up again.

Either way as said, it's good to see you getting back up there in life, and I look forward to any nw flash series you come up with!

I definitely see where you are coming from on this. I signed up to ConceptArt.org years ago and it got me into advancing my drawing skills. However, as the years passed, I was getting bored with constant studies and having to force myself to draw when I wasn't in the mood to do so. What did I do to relieve my frustration? By making music of course.

almost 10 years of bunny kill.
Amazing stuff man thanks for making them.

I can't really say anything new, everyone already wrote my thoughts.
I just want to say that You did the right thing. I could say it's like farting: if you push it too hard, it will be sh*t. :D
And thank you for making these good movies, I watch them a lot, they give me strength for the future. :)
I wish you the best in real life!!

No hard feelings. Sad to see it go, but I understand the feeling. It ain't a hobby anymore if you freak out over it. Hope to see you back around sometime!

Sad to see this but I am glad for the work you did. You were the reason I found Newgrounds. Saw Bunny Kill on Armor games years ago and this site through that.

Thanks for all the awesome animation and I hope you do well getting your life in order.

a few years back when i frequented newgrounds i would have been devastated by this news. however now i realize that bk has had a good run. i am sad to see you wont be making any more however if it is not fun for you then you should not feel compelled on our behalf to keep doing something you don't like

What matters is that you are doing better, and we are all glad about that. It is sad that Bk is gone, but like everyone is saying, it had a good run. We hope you do well in the real world and we wish you nothing but the best. Just don't forget us and feel free to check back here from time to time. We'll get over it. We adapt to situations. Get better and do what you will. We don't want to cause you any unnecessary stress. It's lie everyone says: It's a hobby until it stops being fun. Then, it's a job. We do not want to overwork you. I think that I should stop right here (because I am really making this longer than it needs to be). So to summarize: Thank you for some of the best Flash ever, we wish you good luck, and we hope to see you around.

The series was amazing man!
I'm glad your taking a better turn in life though, sometimes you gotta do what ya gotta do. Do what you want to do, and not what other people want you to.
Don't give up on your dreams.

DAAAAMMMM that sucks, i was a massive fan of the bunnykill series and have been watching it for awhile, couldnt wait for the next episode, then i saw this. but hey, everything ends one way or another, and im glad your doing better, theres no reason for you to force yourself into working on BK if your not having fun doing it. Good luck and if you ever make anything else il probably go watch it. Thanks for all the years of amazing gory violent action.

Real shame that animating bunnykill has went to that point, it really is good series. but yeah if animating it doesn't please you or make you excited in anyway, yeah maybe it is time to move on and do something that really fills you with joy. mitä työttömyyteen tulee niin on valitettavaa kuulla että säin kuulut tähän isoon osaan suomen nuorisosta. ajattelin muuttaa kouvolaan halpojen asuntojen perässä mutta kuulin että siellä töitä on vielä vähemmän kuin omassa kaupungissain :/ autokortin hommaaminen on hyvä idea ja avaa paljon uusia mahdollisuuksia työrintamalla. no voimia ja toivottavasti löydät sen mitä etsit

Will you hand over the .fla for someone to finish it?

bunnykill NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I was really excited for the and probably last episode where the boss bunny would have gotten what he deservers but like everyone said not everything goes on forever like a few newgrounds people i can think of 1 who took a nice break from newgrounds after uploading a long a tireful animation he did what you did after he put out 3 long parts he is Xionico. I respect you for do what you thought was right congrats dude

Hey, have you ever considered passing over the torch to another animator that would want to finish the series? I think that would be a great idea so there's some resolution at least. Good luck with your new project! :)
