So, you're doing a storybook spread to be used with the story, meaning that you're going to make one for each portion of the story until you finish it? Or are these supposed to be samples? Either way, it's odd, but really interesting. The idea is fresh compared to most intricate things I see around here. If this is only an assignment, you should still play with it and see what other designs you can make for the page samples.

Looks great somehow i imagined the rats to look more feral, but it still looks great.
