FINISHED!

Uhhh I decided about two weeks ago that I wanted to make a creepypasta-themed children's book. <8; I decided Candle Cove would be my perfect victim!

Err I know this isn't really creepy, I didn't necessarily intend that.

What I really wanted was to make something that would be like, REAL merch from the show if the show actually existed.

So yeaaaaah!

Special thanks to :iconhorus-the-chorus: for looking over the text in the early stages of production.

I'm very glad this is done. Hopefully the flash buttons work!

Candle Cove is not my original story.

The text and drawings in this book are mine.

First off, this is amazing. The colors and art are beautiful, and I love how you made this a children's book instead of just writing it out and having concept art to go with it.

The story itself is great! You stayed mostly stayed true to the creepypasta, which is good. However, I thought the ending would be a tiny bit confusing to someone who hasn't read the creepypasta, but that doesn't mean I didn't like it. I loved it!

You should really consider getting this published or something (just as long as you give the right credit to the creater of the pasta, and get his or her permission and stuff...). I'm sure a lot of people would enjoy this.

Keep up the awesome work!

Okay, so this is probably the strangest concept I've seen on deviantART.

A children's book on a creepypasta. Okay.

Well, Let's go in order. The vision itself is so crazy, that it suprisingly works. It does indeed look like merchandise for the show. So perfect for that.

I usually give fanart 3 stars, but considering that she chose to do a children's book style, I decided to boost it up a star. Very creative XD

The technique is very much the opposite of original. While I LOVE :iconzakeno:'s style, I think she should've tried something different. This looks too digital, and not like a printed book. A texture or something of the like would've softened this blow, but alas. XD Anyway, all the coloring is also too similar. Keep in mind, everyone sans Janice is supposed to be a puppet. Percy has a porceline head, from what I've read. The only one that really works is the Skintaker, but it's only in the eyes. Speaking of, He's supposed to look at the viewer when he states his catchphrase.

Impact is perfect if you know the story, if you don't, then you'll still like the book all the same.

All-in-all, the coloring, while beautiful and well done, is not appropriate for what the piece is supposed to be. It's written like a children's book, which makes it work. While I admit there's a tad bit of bias, since this is one of my favorite creepypasta's, but I tried my best to be fair.

This was so awesome. :iconso-awesomeplz: The style that you made for this was wonderful, the whole idea of making a book surrounded by such an infamous creepypasta was ultimately unique, and the way that you placed a subtle blanket of horror over the more prominent one of Candle Cove was executed quite nicely. All over, loving this so hard.

The end is the most scary part.

Whoa.

That's weird...I tried to read the book, but there's nothing but blank pages! Is it supposed to be like that?

(j/k, it was cool. Love the design of the characters, and the idea for an actual episode.)

This is actually very good! Not as creepy as the original story, but it is indeed very well-made and fun to read.
