Exciting news about my middle grade horror novel!

[braden H]

Hi everyone!

A while ago I pitched a book about monstrous flesh eating hamsters, and now I'm happy to say that (273 pages and 166 illustrations later) it's available for preorder!

https://www.annickpress.com/Books/T/Teddy-vs.-the-Fuzzy-Doom

Behold TEDDY VS. THE FUZZY DOOOOOOOOOOOM! Wherein Teddy must navigate the strange social situation of moving to a new town, making new friends, dealing with new teachers, and SURVIVING THE INFESTATION OF EVIL CARNIVOROUS HAMSTERS!

It's unlikely that I'd have been able to pull off everything art-related about this book without this forum and some of the classes, so thanks to all of you!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Thanks

[Jason Crowley]

Awesome, what an achievement! How long did it take you to illustrate 166 illustrations?

[braden H]

@Jason-Crowley Once the simple sketches (like, SUPER simple sketches) were done final art took about 30 days or so

Are you sure you're not missing an extra zero off that number?! That's so fast! I hear most people take at least a year or two for a graphic novel.

[braden H]

@Jason-Crowley Ah, it's not a graphic novel. It's a middle grade illustrated novel So a novel with lots and lots of pictures.
