The Bunnyful Bunnies: First Three Episodes In the Making

I'm Matt, the creator of my own animated series, "The Bunnyful Bunnies", featuring a cast of twelve bunnies and their chaotic adventures. The official Bunnyful Bunnies YouTube Channel is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/TheBunnyfulBunnies

The first episode, "Blood Sweat and Fears" introduced the first six characters: Sally, Dude, Gaddi, Bo Bunny, Doc and Janitor Jose. The Bunnyful Bunnies traces back to February 08 (I think) when I doodled the first Bunnyful Bunny, Sally, out of total boredom in the middle of class. All the other characters from "Blood Sweat and Fears" were some of the first characters created except for Gaddi. I don't know where Gaddi came from, but he was originally fat and his name was Grumpy. Then for reasons I can't remember he became the wuss who runs away all the time. So after so many months of simply doodling a bunch of bunnies getting mutilated, I finally decided to turn it into an animated series.

Well actually, I attempted to turn it into a series a while before, but failed. Here are two frames of my first attempt at animating The Bunnyful Bunnies:



I would love to show you a picture of a "lost character" named Broken Bunny, but I lost some frames of this failed episode, and Broken Bunny didn't make it into the show of course.

Anyways, "No Harm No Howl" contained the same cast as "Blood Sweat and Fears" but introduced The Ninja. I wasn't sure how well he'd fit into the show, but I had ideas for him so I decided to let him in. I originally created at least 25 characters, but only 11 have made it into the show. In this show's case the less characters there are, the less complicated things get.

Well enough about the first two episodes. A third episode is in the works and will be released never soon. Four characters I've anticipated will be introduced:

Stoner, the stoner/hippie and Poorly the hobo.



And the military duo Adam Baum and Cadet. High-ranking Adam Baum is stuck with Cadet, the biggest dumb ass in the army.



Notice from that picture above that I tweaked their original design below:

This is their original design, which can also be seen in the Bunnyful Bunnies Theme. I won't edit the animation in the theme because I'm lazy, but I did edit their design since then because I thought they looked a little plain to be in the army. Something had to be done, so I touched them up innapropriately.

While producing episode three, I picked up on a slightly different art style I'd like to continue throughout the series. Most important props or background images will have this nice fuzzy, inky look. I accidentally messed up while outlining an army tent, then realized it looked kinda good. I think it gives it a classic, old-school sort of inky style, which I personally love. And I think it compliments the mood and style of the show. If only I could harness the power of OVER 9000 "Squiggle Vision", that would be great.



Well that's all for now kiddies. Stay tuned to watch Poorly, Stoner, Adam Baum and Cadet collide next time on The Bunnyful Bunnies. The fourth episode will introduce the final character Bunnug, and I have some CRAZY plans for him. But that's another story for another time... Catch ya later!
