Time to move on

Posted by araskin500 Jan. 4, 2009 @ 12:06 PM EST

Well I have been getting a lot of messages asking when the next Bowser's Kingdom and Smash Kingdom coming out? Well the answer is, they are not. Bowser's Kingdom is done, we made the movie and it was the conclusion to the series. As for Smash Kingdom Brawl, well I just don't want to sprite anymore. It has been a good year for Pat and I but it's time to move on to better projects. Maybe one day I will finish Smash Kingdom Brawl but I highly doubt it. I'm sorry if this lets a lot of our fans down but making a movie that seems more of a burden isn't right.

So what are we going to do now?

Well it's time to start on real projects and series that Pat and I can be proud of. No more sprites, no more video game parodies, just our own ideas. And if we lose a lot of fans because our movies don't involve Super Mario then so be it. I just recently got a Wacom Bamboo tablet for Hanukkah and Pat has had one for a while so we both can start making our own stuff. Here's an example of something I made below, yeah it's rough but it's my first drawing so there is much more room for improvement. Hopefully I can finish this cartoon by the end of the month or at least some time in Febuary.

awww, no more bowsers kingdom, oh well. i guess i cant wait till you start using flash and make some non-sprite flashes, but i think you should wok on your drawing skills for a while before you start so that you can get used to the style. good luck dudes!


Jan. 4, 2009 | 2:58 PM mysteyesclaus says:

Well i guess thats that. damn, i was hoping to see more, i mean, i checked this page every day to see if there were updates, because Bowser's kingdom and smash were the main reason i stuck around at newgrounds. But ok, thx for being honest.

Jan. 4, 2009 | 3:30 PM araskin500 responds:

There are so many more reasons to stick around Newgrounds. Why don't you check out Happy Harry's cartoons or Hot Diggity Demon, I have always found them hilarious.


Jan. 4, 2009 | 3:33 PM mysteyesclaus says:

Yeah i guess so, well then all right. i suppose i should see more stuff but i will always enjoy Bowser's Kingdom and Smash. I'll look forward to your other work.


Jan. 4, 2009 | 8:31 PM DarkDremora says:

*sigh* well, that's a real shame about " Bowser's Kingdom and Smash Kingdom " Those were some of the best series' on NG. Hell they were the funniest imo. But we all must move on I suppose. I still think you should finish Smash Kingdom Brawl just so the game series will be complete but hey, if you don't feel like it then that's cool. Hey, I have a question: Um... will Hal&Jeff be in future eps of SMBZ then like in eps 7? Or was that a 1 time thing? Well, anyway good luck on your future flashes.

Jan. 4, 2009 | 8:40 PM araskin500 responds:

I don't know about that, I haven't talked to Alvin in a while. But I'm pretty sure it was a one time cameo.


Jan. 4, 2009 | 9:58 PM seious says:

people were wating ages and you give us one huge middle finger well i have two words for you f**k you. you can,t just say your going to do something and decide your not going to do it and your known for sprites not cartoons if the cartoons are about games that would be okay

Jan. 4, 2009 | 11:01 PM araskin500 responds:

Didn't you get the message at the end of the movie? Besides I don't want to do it forever, it just stopped being fun.


Jan. 5, 2009 | 12:11 AM ArsenistsUnite says:

That's something I can respect. You guys are great with your jokes so you can pull it off. I'll just wait to see what hatches from your minds.


Jan. 5, 2009 | 3:44 AM aceofbrads says:

i hope u really reconsider this... although u probably already have many times. just to let u know i've always found sprites alot more interesting than cartoons thats why i love "code monkeys" so much. any way i hope your happy with your new series or what ever your doing. good luck

p.s. jeff,hal and the whole bowsers kingdom crew are insanly funny. i've been watching other sprites and i thought they were hilarious until i saw this now i think there a piece of shit. crap! this is just great! now all the other sprite movies will seem terable. thanks for rasing the bar! =)

Jan. 5, 2009 | 11:56 AM araskin500 responds:

Well hopefully we will still be insanely funny.... that's the plan any how. But in reality, using sprites was a mere introduction to flash for me, now that I know the basics I am ready to move on to using my own drawings.


Jan. 5, 2009 | 11:02 AM Lucio1995 says:

Ok... i was suspecting that you weren´t to do another Bowser´s Kingdom because of the end of the movie:

- I hate this job, i quit!
- Yeah, fuck this!

I thinked it was a little joke... but they were talking serious. Do you already have any ideas? Besides the one at the picture, or is it just for practicing?

Jan. 5, 2009 | 11:54 AM araskin500 responds:

We have a few projects recorded and ready to animate but we don't know how long it will take since both of us are going back to school next week, we may or may not have a lot of time to work on them. So really when these will come out is all up in the air.


Jan. 5, 2009 | 3:47 PM Whoawhoawhoa says:

.............
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO!!!!!!
Aw forget it. Can't wait for the next series thing, or whatever your doing


Jan. 5, 2009 | 4:56 PM KooperROX170 says:

You're ditching B.K.!!! After all the hard work, and all the fans your series has attracted to form a B.K. fan-base you're ditching it!!!

Well thats probably the biggest disappointment I've ever seen in my life, and I've seen what SEGA has done to their fans.(The whole voice acting thing, and when the games started to suck.)

Trust me, BK is pure comic genius and nothing is more hilarious than Bowser's Kingdom! No flash series will ever be better. Oh well, if it's done for I'm out, there's nothing worth staying on newgrounds if nobody will create a series as good as this. And don't say Alvinearthworm, because I hate his series.

Later man.


Jan. 5, 2009 | 11:38 PM Linkhasafan says:

Well uh...That's that. Shoot, just when I was hoping for a annoucement about the new one, I get shot down. At first I was mad, then sad, and now I just have to wonder what your position is. I can imagine stress, time, and other related things causing you to think otherwise. You know, but no series can last forever. It's just I feel...I didn't get the whole feel of the series. I mean I loved it, but I think you ended short, you know. I was just hoping you would end with chills down my spine and heart failure from laughing so much XD Well, it's your choice, I just think you should get some more practice before moving on...I still hope you'll atleast to a finish episode or Smash Kingdom Brawl. All I'm trying to say is to give up on what you haven't finished.


Jan. 6, 2009 | 7:15 AM Onishadow says:

Its understandable. Let's just hope you can find some form of success with your handrawn series now. Do you need any voice acting help btw? I could help in a way :P


Jan. 6, 2009 | 12:52 PM hiaman says:

I saw in an old news post by pthouse that both of you were making a game based on doodlequest, is that one of the proyects you are working on?


Jan. 6, 2009 | 1:42 PM Re-ReDead says:

Phew, it's good to see that you guys didn't stop making flash! ^^ It's pretty sad that you stopped makng BK, but i'm lookng forward to your future movies! ^^


Jan. 6, 2009 | 3:04 PM ProjectZeta says:

Well, it's your choice. I enjoyed both series, but if you don't wish to continue them, so be it.

I personally think it's fantastic that you're moving on to more original and stylized ideas. Good look in your animating!


Jan. 6, 2009 | 4:37 PM marjosonic says:

As long as the stuff is funny, I'll be watching.


Jan. 6, 2009 | 9:11 PM wbgeek86 says:

*Sigh...*
I will miss Bowser's Kingdom and Smash Kingdom. These were some of the best video game parodies ever, and I'm glad I at least got to see them debut. I hope you'll be cool with fan tributes, which this series deserves. This is seriously some of the best entertainment that was ever put on Newgrounds, and it's too bad you never got a damn series page.

I'll look forward to your new animations!


Jan. 7, 2009 | 6:57 PM shyguymaster says:

WHAT THE F***!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!?

NO MORE BK SERIES OR VIDEO GAMES PARODIES?
THOSE ARE MY LIFE!!!!!!!

I think i´m not your fan anymore
i liked geno too
I buyed the SMRPG game to know how awesome was he.
well :( ITS OVER!!!!! ;(


Jan. 7, 2009 | 9:30 PM mewfour4 says:

do Smash Kingdom Brawl 1st then quit on them


Jan. 7, 2009 | 11:19 PM Zerofc says:

Nooo such I disappointment well at least you told us so I I don't have to look for Browser Kingdom every now and then so..........got ay ideas for a new story yet?


Jan. 8, 2009 | 2:05 AM Newgroundsdragon says:

I understand that you don't feel like using sprites anymore and want to move onto something more professional. That's fine but I still would have loved to see Smash Kingdom Brawl done and submitted. That doesn't mean though I have lost faith in you either. I really do hope you can go back and complete Smash Kingdom Brawl as well as finish the rest of the Super Mario Bros Z episodes, those were great.

Other than that you deserve to be proud at what you have done so far but I still think you aren't done with Sprites yet.

Jan. 8, 2009 | 12:54 PM araskin500 responds:

Dude for the love of God, I didn't make Super Mario Bros Z. Please do yourself a favor and look at the AUTHORS to see who makes what.


Jan. 8, 2009 | 7:56 PM PikaRobo says:

No more Bowser's Kingdom? That kind of is a dissapointment, but if you are moving on to better projects then thats a good thing. I would really be looking foward to whatever you are doing next. However I just want to suggest you guys probably could stop a while with the sprite animating and make a new BK next year or VERY late this year (like the Merry Christsmas Drake & Josh special did.), Now remember I'm just suggesting. Personaly, I think the last Smash Kingdom episode was fine the way it ended (although you or someone else at the very least should finish "the fight"), the thing is think about it, if you ever do finish it, you will never have to do anything about it again.

There will always be new parodies over the years, whether they will be accepted or not, I've been planning one for almost 2 years. And I have to admit even THAT would be a start for much bigger projects. We might just need to move on to new generations, not just for both of you but for the fans as well.


Jan. 8, 2009 | 10:52 PM liljoey50 says:

well i guess its up to you...i wish you luck with ur new projects, and i hope theyll be as funny as your sprite stuff.i kinda liked doodlequest and hopefully your toons will come out as good as that....


Jan. 9, 2009 | 4:06 AM SneakyGuy says:

Many animators who have a successful series seem scared to move on to bigger and better things. It takes a brave guy to go down the road less traveled.
I wish you luck on your new start:)


Jan. 9, 2009 | 5:13 PM megazario says:

I am sad, I wish your sprite video series could've lasted forever, but saldy that is not reality. I hope your new series is at least slightly funny but until then goodbye.


Jan. 9, 2009 | 11:27 PM ifailtestsnot says:

...hum...another spriter gone :(


Jan. 10, 2009 | 1:35 AM Sodaku says:

Wow many people must be ashamed. SHame you have to end it.


Jan. 10, 2009 | 2:42 AM boss30 says:

does this meen u guys are gonna close the store?


Jan. 10, 2009 | 4:39 AM Bootchild says:

Man, this page doesn't look much different from Pat's--yet more mixed feelings from fans. Well, I guess that's to be expected. Anyway, I'm sorry to seem lazy by doing this, but I would generally say the same to you that I did to Pat, so I'm just pasting those words here:

Well, that's a shame. I adored the Bowser's Kingdom series and its spin offs, but I truly respect you two for making this decision. There's little chance of making a living off of this series, so doing your own thing is definitely the right way to go. But, I don't have to tell you that. I've also had to make a similar decision in the past. But, hey, that's life, right?

Now, I've seen some of these comments down here, and I gotta say, you guys should be ashamed of yourselves! Try to be a little more supportive, huh? Well, they'll understand when they're older, I suppose. Meanwhile, I'm beside you on this, and I expect good things from you both in whatever you do. As long as it's respectable, of course. Whatever the case, good luck!


Jan. 10, 2009 | 10:27 AM Khawner says:

I have never been prouder in my entire life. Giving up Bowser's Kingdom depsite the fanbase to do what you want to do. Newgrounds needs more people like you, who don't make movies just because you have fans. I cannot wait to see your new original works!

Btw, I too am making a movie to conclude my spriting history.


Jan. 10, 2009 | 1:00 PM pieeater1 says:

Well, I'm sad but, all your flashes will be awesome, provided you keep your sense of humor and awesome voice acting. I'll be sure to keep a look out for your new work, and I hope you and pat keep working together, your a great team. It's god that your moving on, and tbh, if you kept it up, Bowsers Kingdom would have gotten old. Good luck in your future plans, I know they will be awesome.


Jan. 10, 2009 | 6:47 PM inspectertaz says:

NOOOO!! why ditching bowser's kingdom? i really loved the episodes.. even the movie T_T i guess its R.I.P :[ i really wanted to see more of bowser's kingdom... even if its not sprited.... :(


Jan. 11, 2009 | 7:26 PM Dawn7734 says:

If you are sick of using sprites, why not finish Smash Kingdom Brawl like episode 9?


Jan. 12, 2009 | 12:44 AM SuperHuman796 says:

IF BOWSER'S KINGDOMS DONE THEN FUCK THIS CRAP


Jan. 12, 2009 | 11:10 PM pongo419 says:

I wish you the best of luck guys. I really enjoyed watching the Bowser's Kingdom series. I hope that your new projects will be as successful as Bowser's Kingdom. Have fun, and enjoy your new wacom tablet.


Jan. 13, 2009 | 12:29 AM gothkyd says:

yea me and my friend realised too late that the best way to generate a fanbase is to grab their attention with something familiar and then show them you're capable of creating well-thought out storylines and jokes. Now that people know you guys, the next logical step is to do something original that you can be proud of and know you own completely. That's why even though my original series never makes front page and only has a hundred or so 'fans' I still rather work on that than make something just because I know it'll get a huge response. All the best, can't wait to see what you guys come up with.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 10:58 AM anifrizzo32 says:

well i guess things can't last forever, oh well. BK had a good run i kinda had a feeling with the 20 minute movie, not a lot of sprite artist last 10 eps well you know except Kirbopher (and hopefully Alvin Earthworm) I was just hoping there would be a smash kingdom brawl or something. Ow well it no biggie


Jan. 17, 2009 | 1:42 PM deadmadnessguy says:

if you're not going to finish smash kingdom at least ask alvin or someone else who is good at flash to finish the fight between mario and sonic. further I'll look foreward to you're upcoming work.


Jan. 17, 2009 | 7:27 PM LEGO4ever says:

Bowser's Kingdom and Smash Kingdom were your greatest hits.
Its a shame you can't do it anymore. I understand. Hell, everyone should.
I saw some of the other peoples comments about your progress, and if
they don't like you or Pat anymore just because you don't want to do sprite animations anymore, well then its their problem. I completely understand what
and Pat are going through. Sprite animations are hard to create. People who flip you off just because you want to do something new have NO RIGHT! You and Pat are the animators. You guys decide what you should do, not jerks like seious.
Im proud you were able to make over 12 animations and your case, 12 is enough.
Do good on the cartoons man. Im rooting for you!


Jan. 17, 2009 | 11:55 PM blaziken789 says:

I understand. People shouldn't be repeating a series for a long time. Besides, I think about 14 episodes of flash sprites is enough for one day.

However, I will be missing the BK series. Those were full of humor. And why not get Smash Kingdom Brawl out of the way so you can forget about the whole sprite animation for the rest of your career?

Best of luck to you.


Jan. 18, 2009 | 2:13 PM DDW18 says:

No, I don't think i'ts gonna work out... because I hate you.


Jan. 18, 2009 | 8:11 PM newbkiler says:

well you made a great serise and im looking forword to whatever you make in the future


Jan. 18, 2009 | 8:54 PM abdur17 says:

I can understand why you guys don't want to sprite anymore and that's a good thing. I want to see your ideas come to life and I will miss Browser's Kingdom. I am making something similar to Bowser's Kingdom since that was the series made me start spriting in the first place. THANKS A BUNCH FOR THE SERIES!!!!!


Jan. 19, 2009 | 1:24 AM coolman1250 says:

its funny how you finish a series with a documentary, but you probally wanna get a career in animation so I wont stop you, good luck with it

I'm dissapointed, yet I appreciate it. You guys have done a lot, but I do hope you'll at least finish SKB. btw glad u finally updated


Jan. 21, 2009 | 4:21 AM RangerXL says:

Good Luck, I respect your courage and hope to see the new stuff, maybe your new stuff might get you a few jobs in the field of animation, ever think about video game animation or just sticking with video/film? if film/video send your stuff to pixar or video game talk to microsoft gaming. I am curently taking classes in animation the spots are filling up very fast its kinda first come first served. I will contact my friends and see if any spots for animation are open. But its truly your desion I have a contact info to a person that can help you out if introsted or just wanna talk more send me a PM. Best of luck.


Jan. 21, 2009 | 11:38 AM farfar says:

Well, you actually said that Smash Kingdom Brawl were being made, so why not make, like 50% or more newgroudners happy?
Well, I'm not in charge of you, but yeah,

Jan. 23, 2009 | 9:56 PM ultramandud says:

Well, its your choice, I can't make you do anything, nobody really can.

I was never a big fan of Bowser's kingdom, I watched one episode after I saw smash kingdom, then I waited with baited breath for melee, and did the same fro brawl, but now it won't come out, but anyway I hope to see your new stuff come out.


Jan. 23, 2009 | 10:37 PM ultramandud says:

I really wanted to see the conclusion to the mario-sonic battle, if you wont animate then cam you tell me how it ends?

Jan. 24, 2009 | 11:00 AM araskin500 responds:

Use your imagination


Jan. 24, 2009 | 5:44 PM mikobook says:

Well, Bowser's Kingdom is one of my favorite series' on Newgrounds, so it's a shame to see it go. Obviously I don't, nor should anyone else expect you to do things that bore you.

Fingers crossed though that you do some shorts in your spare time with some of the characters when you get the inspiration or you think of a funny joke that requires little animation. Dedede, the Shy Guys, Karate Duo #1, Geno, well, pretty much everybody were fun characters.

I'll still watch your stuff regardless, lol. But I understand wanting to make something that's entirely original and your own.


Jan. 25, 2009 | 8:50 AM AX1M says:

I respect your decision. to be honest, I really don't care. I think it's funny to see how angry people are getting. I thought it was funny that everyone thinks you are the author of SMBZ.


Jan. 26, 2009 | 9:17 PM hummy77 says:

It is cool to try out new things but I was wondering if you can do bowser kingdom in your drawings instead of getting crappy sprites?


Jan. 26, 2009 | 10:05 PM ikool says:

Hey Araskin,

I see that you ended Bowser's Kingdom and are moving on to hand-drawn animation. Like I said to my good friend Emanhattan, I support you. There is a time in every good animators life where they move on from sprites and sticks and eventually start with fbf and hand-drawn animation.

I loved your Bowser's Kingdom stuff and I hope the humor and story line is just as good in your new animation.

Your fan, Ikool.


Jan. 27, 2009 | 11:01 PM lightdarkness says:

Ok 3 things. 1. thats actually a great drawing, well done. 2. I guess as a fan of your guys' work i will continue watching anything you guys make. and 3. I'm happy for you that you can be proud of your work.


Jan. 29, 2009 | 6:28 PM deathslayer666 says:

maybe you can make an animated bowsers kingdom?


Jan. 29, 2009 | 7:39 PM KooperROX170 says:

That's exactly what I said, an animated Bowser's Kingdom. They basically done it in Bowser's Kingdom 9, so why can't it work out with a season 2? Only Hal and Jeff want revenge on Bowser, Steve(Sounds crazy), and or Mario.

Well, this kinda sucks. I JUST found the Bowser's Kingdom series and I think it's some of the funniest shit I've seen lately (though I had known about the Smash Kingdom vids for a little bit), Oh well, at least you guys gave is a proper conclusion. So I'll have to make sure to keep eye out for your original works. Keep up the good work.


Jan. 30, 2009 | 6:14 PM uria96 says:

Well its a shame that BK (ha BK) has to end but no matter what comes out you can still count on my 5s


Jan. 30, 2009 | 11:10 PM OPO1Dude says:

As long as the movies are still funny and creative like the kingdom series, I am sure it will be successful, regardless of sprites.


Jan. 31, 2009 | 9:44 AM shanez1313 says:

Were you saying you were ashamed of smash kingdom and bowser's kingdom when you said "Well it's time to start on real projects and series that Pat and I can be proud of"?


Jan. 31, 2009 | 7:07 PM 4questionmarktvstuff says:

NO!!!!!!!!


Jan. 31, 2009 | 9:45 PM footballstar7071 says:

That ok if theres no more mario. Also good picture. is ta a alien?


Feb. 1, 2009 | 2:38 PM metalsmith32 says:

i feel ya bro i fell ya. not much but a little.


Feb. 2, 2009 | 10:24 PM 95wave says:

so what about a series with sonic making fun of that? I'm sure there are TONS of jokes to be made


Feb. 2, 2009 | 10:41 PM swanandrew says:

Man, that really sucks!!


Feb. 3, 2009 | 7:23 PM brownyoshi says:

dont worry maybe you new flash will be Kitty Krew or Faggot Federation quality maybe you can beat their 1.0-2.0 average!


Feb. 4, 2009 | 2:41 PM DarkKaizen says:

I wish you the best of luck in your new series and projects. I hope you win a Tank Award.


Feb. 4, 2009 | 7:49 PM WakkaBoom says:

So you want to be original this time, so you can be very proud of your own work? I can see that. I loved you sprite animations, but this is understandable. I hope you're ready for the harder road ahead, I heard its tough making drawing animations than sprite.


Feb. 5, 2009 | 12:20 AM super-sonic-fan1 says:

I understand moving on is easy but hard at the same time good luck with you're new and improved projects


Feb. 5, 2009 | 4:23 PM Aquarious2008 says:

Damn guys. No more Bowser's kingdom? that sucks. LOL I havent been this disappointed since my favorite TV show ended. Well regardless of how I strongly disagree with your decision, I wish you guys good luck in whatever you're doing next, I probably wont watch it cuz so far I've only come to newgrounds for video parodies and went to youtube for everything else. You and Pat are very talented animators and(along with Alvin Earthworm) have gotten me started on my own sprite animations(though mine kinda suck rite now but Im getting better) well I guess there's nothing left for me to say but...Good bye and good luck


Feb. 6, 2009 | 11:31 PM KooperROX170 says:

You guys still deserve a Tank Award. You'll always be NG Comic Geniuses! You not only deserve a Tank, but a BK collection. Seriously it deserves WAY much more recognition than it gets.

And I still don't see why you can't continue to make parodies of video games.


Feb. 7, 2009 | 11:51 PM MetallixTheKnight says:

Well, I can't wait to see what the two of you will make. If you were able to make those ingenious parodies, I can't begin to imagine the comic havoc you'll wreak with your own ideas. One thing bothers me, though... The fact that the amount of video game parodiers is thinning like my dad's hair. First Kirbopher, now you two... I guess the era of the video game parody is over... (sigh), it was fun while it lasted. Good luck to you both.


Feb. 8, 2009 | 4:06 PM madnescombetfan7 says:

not going to sprite anymor then how come you made smash kingdom lost levils?


Feb. 9, 2009 | 7:06 PM CleverMiam says:

Well, no problem for me.


Feb. 16, 2009 | 1:37 PM Sycicz says:

how could u fifnish Bowser's kingdom? I loved watching it.


Feb. 17, 2009 | 5:52 PM Shadow59productions says:

Pure dissapointment but whatever. Enjoy your life.


Feb. 20, 2009 | 12:16 AM zandXXX says:

no more bowsers kingdom eh? rats I loved that series i guess i'll won't complain though it was fun while it lasted and plus I still have SMBZ to look forward too good luck hope your hand drawn cartoons are as good as your sprite animations!


Feb. 20, 2009 | 12:18 AM BedroomComics says:

Great, just when I started to like Bowser's Kingdom. Smash Kingdom showed me Newgrounds in the first place. Well, I respect your choice. I just hope that Jeff & Hal get cameos in some of your "new" work. I also hope that you still do sprite animation every now & then. Good luck.


Feb. 27, 2009 | 4:46 PM blaziken789 says:

Hey uh... by the way. If you care too much about the fans who ditched you themselves, I suggest you make a season 2 of the BK series. BUT, you can animate the whole thing with your own drawings, like you did in BK 9. (or 8, i forgot already.) But if you don't want to, that's fine.


Mar. 1, 2009 | 1:19 AM KingOfBBQ says:

I hope you guys can keep a good balance of plot and comedy in your future works, and above all have fun with what you are doing.


Mar. 1, 2009 | 5:19 PM naronic says:

ive never seen browsers kingdom but i can tell you this-

everyone on newgrounds seems to say sprites are useless and that they defeat the point of animating (they'd rather do it the caveman way by drawing every frame by hand)

sprites take practice and time and they are a whole lot more interesting than drawings


Mar. 1, 2009 | 10:05 PM Ciaphas-Cain says:

A great series has died...
Well, you wrapped it up well at least. Seriously, I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we'll all miss you and Patrick's extremely well-made sprite movies, but if you'd rather not make any more, that's ok.
Good luck with future work.


Mar. 8, 2009 | 10:09 AM BigMfan2324 says:

I'm feel sad about you quitting on spriteing. I really enjoyed the Smash Kingdom series. Anyway I hope your drawing flashes will be a success.


Mar. 9, 2009 | 2:11 PM Jaxter01 says:

(major sigh)
I wish I could have seen Smash kingdom brawl!

Bowsers Kingdom is over and finished with, I understand that. You gave it a brilliant finish and that was cool!

But couldn't you at least have the decency to finish the Smash series.
Sorry for whining, but the unfinished Mario vs Sonic thing is killing me!


Mar. 10, 2009 | 6:43 AM Freelance20XX says:

Aw well Easy come easy go.


Mar. 13, 2009 | 8:29 PM luigiscared111 says:

is that possesd doll your fav mario char? whats his name anywhy?


Mar. 14, 2009 | 11:28 AM captaindrbob says:

blah blah blah everyone stop bitching i stop my shitty flash shit. I use to talk to
araskin500 a lot but he stop sending messages. So the fact is that these two don't give a crap about what you all think. I can't get a career making mario sprites flashes in real life plus this dude is 21 years old so get my drift. see you later

CAPTAINDRBOB


Mar. 17, 2009 | 6:10 PM Cman72 says:

Bowser's Kingdom...DONE!?! Oh man. That really sucks. I'll have to tell my friend it's over then I guess... I just have one question, why are you ending such a funny and popular series?


Mar. 18, 2009 | 1:38 AM DkLoVe says:

Well it's time to start on real projects and series that Pat and I can be proud of. No more sprites, no more video game parodies, just our own ideas. And if we lose a lot of fans because our movies don't involve Super Mario then so be it. I just recently got a Wacom Bamboo tablet for Hanukkah and Pat has had one for a while so we both can start making our own stuff. Here's an example of something I made below, yeah it's rough but it's my first drawing so there is much more room for improvement. Hopefully I can finish this cartoon by the end of the month or at least some time in Febuary.

and if im right pat said he was sick of animating with sprites dont remember lol


Mar. 18, 2009 | 1:40 AM DkLoVe says:

@madnescombetfan7
those are the sketches that were already made made for the game


Mar. 24, 2009 | 6:34 PM metalsmith32 says:

1st off it's the end of march and you still haven't finished it.
2cd are you going to continue working on super mario bros z with alvin earthworm?


Mar. 25, 2009 | 11:39 PM ihatesonic1 says:

You know,you have a risk of loseing a lot of fans.But not me,trust me,i know.


Mar. 29, 2009 | 2:16 PM cyberdruid says:

You know,a few months ago I was very angry you decided to do this.But now i remember you said "It just stopped being fun" that was in the commets or the decription.Anyway,ever since episode 7/8 it really hasnt been that funny anymore and that is why im not that bothered anymore,could this has something to do with it not being fun anymore?

Otherwise,this was probably my favourite series on newgrounds and congratulations to you and pat for creating one of the best video game parodie series ever.I hope to see more from you with you new ideas.
And PLEASE,make it as funny as bowsers kingdom :D !


Mar. 29, 2009 | 6:30 PM gigantis2185 says:

damn i thought another bowser kingdom was comin out well thats a heart breaker well i under stand you can only do so many until you run out of jokes or get bored with it thats something i can relate to well it was fun while lasted just thanks for makin the flashes i guess


Apr. 1, 2009 | 2:46 PM Kerstmangang says:

>:( bad choise... bowser's kingdom were great series but it's your decision...


Apr. 2, 2009 | 7:32 PM luigiscared111 says:

oh... thats badd... but stll #1 fan!


Apr. 6, 2009 | 2:00 AM fatherbuck says:

you guys are great animators. you'll do well no matter what your project is.


Apr. 7, 2009 | 2:12 AM mikobook says:

Fellas, how's the new project coming along? I think you're a little shy of your projected date.


Apr. 8, 2009 | 7:19 PM Kickern says:

Oh no :(
Well, I guess I understand, I hope you will finish Smash Kingdom Brawl at least.
You will always be one of the best Sprite movie makers, Araskin500. Remember that ;)


Apr. 11, 2009 | 1:27 AM superkidra says:

dude....it's april


Apr. 11, 2009 | 8:23 AM TETKA says:

Well. that's a shame... to bad bowsers kindom is cancelled. I was really looking foward to see bowsers kindom 11. Perhaps jeff and hall where going back to the castle and then would see what chaos did mario do. thats what i tought will be in the next episode. but i understand you, it really is annoying when you make an episode and someone comments : 'wow cool when is the next one comming out' or ' wow cool ! make more ! . so i understand your pain. Alvin earthworm was to his neck of private massages : 'when is super mario bros z eps 7/8 comming out'. So he also cancelled the episodes ( but changed his mind ). Anyway good luck with the new series !


Apr. 15, 2009 | 8:08 PM were-panther says:

Smash Kingdom was pretty good. I'm sorry I've never watched Bowser's Kingdom. The drawing is pretty good as long as you can keep this quality going throughout the whole animation.


Apr. 16, 2009 | 10:14 PM ihatesonic1 says:

See?What i tell ya.*The guys above me


Apr. 19, 2009 | 3:15 PM MarcyVF says:

It's great to hear!
You better change your profile picture and header now...


Apr. 20, 2009 | 8:14 PM deswen says:

I, and everyone else here, will surely miss bowser's kingdom. But, we can't just rehash everything. *coughpowerrangerscough* I hope to see some new flashes.
Best of luck to you.

May. 16, 2009 | 9:23 PM Zokko9 says:

sux yer gonna stop makin the kingdom vids. but can u AT LEAST finish smash kingdom brawl, PLEEZ!?


May. 23, 2009 | 10:45 PM cuffers says:

Huh.
Didn't know you were jewish


May. 24, 2009 | 12:40 AM kirby89000 says:

hello me and my cousin are making a sprite flash animation and we would like some help with it.


Jun. 5, 2009 | 9:24 PM Xalder1 says:

Some people here are sooo sad. As in retarded, not actually just plain dissapointed. Seriously "WAAAAAHHHH BOWSER'S KINGDOM IS GOOOONNNNEEE!!!! I HAVE NO MORE REASON TO LIVE *POINTS GUN TO HEAD* *CRIES HEAD OFF BEFORE BEING ABLE TO SHOOT*" Get a life people.

There are tons of other things you can do, newgrounds isn't the only thing on earth you know, as for the internet, try some games or watch some videos on youtube if you haven't yet. I'm totally going to miss BK (Bowser's kingdom, not fucking burger king), but I understand that an end to a series is an end to a series, even if there could be more, such as like some of you whiners say, oh, it was just an exageration or whatever.

The thing is, yes, it is time to move on to bigger and better things. It sucks, but that's how life works. Yes, really. Just because something happens against what you like, it doesn't mean it's the end of the world, it means you have to suck it up and either figure it out or live with it. Nothing else. Begging rarely works, and when it does, the person you begged starts having ill feelings towards you. So, fellow fans of BK and fans of whatever that other series is that I havn't watched yet, suck it up, wait for the next thing to come out, wait a while longer to see if it turns out to be good, THEN, IF IT SUCKS, THEN you can start getting all p/o'd and whiney.

AND FOR GOD'S SAKE SHUT UP ABOUT HOW MUCH IT SUCKS, we get it. Yes it sucks, live with it.

Jul. 3, 2009 | 11:34 PM kramerthegamer249 says:

it's kind of disappointing that bowser's kingdom has gone bye bye, but i guess you're right; it is time to move on. still, great work nonetheless.

Jul. 10, 2009 | 9:48 PM Firefox1255 says:

good luck with what u decide on doing!


Jul. 29, 2009 | 11:28 AM frido13 says:

ok i guess i wish you would make more videos like the one before but if it time to move on then i guess you right(that guy in the drawing almost looks like the eggplant wizard from kid incuras, sorry if it pelled wrong)


Jul. 29, 2009 | 6:50 PM piggy123 says:

Aug. 7, 2009 | 7:34 PM XeroDraX says:

Aug. 27, 2009 | 9:42 AM higgles says:

Hey that seems fine to me. However it couldn't hurt to give them a cameo once in a while. Like you did in smbz.

To F22 Pilot: Get off Raskin's nuts faggot gay loser sonofabitch and geta life you'v been doin this shit for more than 20 days strait.


Aug. 27, 2009 | 12:27 PM kamek2001 says:

Alvin: King of Action Packed flash
PtHouse and Raskin: Kings of Newgrounds Comedy

You dont wanna lose that do you?

Well I cant stop ya do wat u do. this new thing might not even be so bad anyway.
It might be even funnier than before.

Dear Andrew Raskin and pthouse,
I'm a big fan of the Bowser's Kingdom series and I know you didn't tell us the last funny story that comes out of your brain. So, what I want is the following: I have some questions to you.

1.) Will you try to make a commercial release of "what ever your brain spits out"?
2.) Can the real good persons get in contact with you (to get to know how your work is going on)?

Thank you and good bye!


Sep. 23, 2009 | 10:20 PM 123fun123 says:

DAMN i was waiting for the next bowsers kingdom episode i kept re-watching all of the episodes and i was exited for the next episode but then i read this message i felt sad. oh well i hope your cartoon will be just as funny and fun to watch. bye


Oct. 9, 2009 | 1:44 AM lugiebro says:

listen to me your spites were good but what are you going to make i bet its going to be good

ps i have no idea hoe to make vidoes and i need someone to help me alvin-earthworm is to busy working on smbz so could you help me out?


Oct. 10, 2009 | 3:40 AM geminis6 says:

ok, i accept the fact that simply dont want to sprite again, and that means, no more BK, but DO SOMETHING, dont tease us with new material if you are not doing shit,
if you dont want to do more BK give the series to someone else, many people would love to continue the series or make more cameos of jeff and hal in other series but simply dont make them dissapear forever


Oct. 14, 2009 | 7:18 PM chillbro says:

ORLY?


Oct. 15, 2009 | 10:28 AM Heatwave-the-Cat says:

It's to bad Bowser's Kingdom is over it was awsome. Why don't you try a new series like Eggman's Empire that would be good.


Oct. 15, 2009 | 9:52 PM vggamer says:

Dude that sucks you were awsome at sprite movies but anyway good luck with your new projects


Oct. 15, 2009 | 9:57 PM vggamer says:
