Bait and Switch by Austen Crowder

In Fenton’s world, some kids are toons. Some think the change is biological. Others think the change is social. But some kids turn into toons, and Fenton’s father just wants it to stop. He’s even built a Realist movement to ban toons from the real world, hoping that it will keep his own children from following in their estranged mother’s cartoon footsteps.

Tensions rise as the Realists lobby to get their ban set into law, and toons fight for their right to be themselves. Fenton’s father knows he can count on his two boys to stand behind him and his dream of building a safe, a toon-free reality. It’s just too bad that Fenton’s becoming a toon….

Bait and Switch cover art
By Bauske,

So my good friend Slyford Slyford is getting her first novel published this year at Midwest Fur Fest, and she asked me to do the cover art for it. In the end, I'm very glad I did it, but trust me, it was a lot of complaining and procrastination on my end. I wanted the product to look good, and I'm pretty horrendous at painting jobs.

Needless to say, this is what came out, and I'm okay with it, even if I think it could use some major improvements. I ran out of time, honestly. That, and I'm lazy.

REGARDLESS, this is the cover art, and her book is getting published! So, if you want to read up on it and know what it's about, head over to her gallery and read the bits she's posted so far (or start on the first chapter here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3485571).

And then buy the book at MFF! You'll make her insanely happy. She'll probably do a little dance for you.
