Here's a sample of another project I've been working on! I've been doing the interior illustrations and cover for Kyell Gold's newest novel, Out Of Position. It's a good read! There is much to love--gay jock tigers, foxes in drag, a professional football career on the line if their relationship is exposed--and of course, lots of juicy scenes like only Kyell can write 'em.
For more information on the book and to read the first couple parts, check out Kyell's website! You can also read more of Kyell's work on his FA page, here abouts: kyell
Aaaand, be sure to check out the unveiling of the cover and hear a reading from the book at the Sofawolf Presents panel on 1pm Saturday the 22nd at Midwest Furfest next weekend!
Here's an excerpt from the book that goes along with this illustration:
Oh, god. He wants to kiss in front of Randy. I look back at him and watch his smile curve up a little bit more. It seems impossible that Randy won’t notice the things I can’t help seeing: the slightly broader, male muzzle; the way the hips don’t quite flare enough; the roughness around the base of the claws. But I can’t think of a good excuse not to go over, and Randy’s still grinning that I-found-you-out grin. So I walk over and lean down, intending to give him a soft, quick peck on the muzzle.
I get a muzzle full of fox tongue and an instant hard-on. We don’t hold the kiss as long as we normally do, but it’s plenty. I pull back and sit down hard on my bed, only dimly hearing Randy’s “Wooooo!”

Damn, just the excerpt has me tingling all over o_o
Excellent illustration, as always. <3

Good god, Kyell's writings are hot enough. Mixing Blotch arts into the mix? Excuse me while I go whore myself for the money to pre-order.
I have been reading that story, and as with all of Kyell's work, it is fantastic. And YOU do justice to his written words with your art!
I've told kyell many times (as he can attest) that Mr. Wiley Farrel here is the single hottest fictional being ever to traipse gaily through my imagination. That being the case, the standard to which I'd hold any depiction of him is quite high indeed.
You, my dear leopardy pal, have done my (admittedly sometimes tawdry) imagination justice. Really, when it comes to super-hot foxes in drag making out with other guys in public, that's... that's not something you can just half-ass. You really need to go at it full-bore.
Oh, and bonus points (and a bonus cookie) for Randy's facial expression there. Cheers.

Mmm, I love kisses like those, they're always so surprising<3
Good luck on the project with Kyell!

Oh, they will! :] I think the release date for the book is FC-ish.
Vary nice, i love the expression on everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent portrayal of what was written, the faces are great.
interesting story...oh i absolutely love kiss scenes...they r difficult to draw but u always pull em off nicely
I'll have you know you just made my fiance a very, very happy man XD he LOVES that story, and Blotch (and Kenket too) is his very most favoritest artist. I just went and told him you're doing the illos and he made a girly squeal XD and he.. is not a girly person XDDDD
This looks fantastic, as if I needed another reason to buy from Kyell, hah!

Very very very interested. VERY. Probably going to see myself purchasing this for... myself. For my birthday. Yeah.
Love this one. Actually my little long hair chihuahua does that to me when she greets me at home. Dogs just love to lick :)
Well I must say the image is very nice and goes well with the writing. I do have one thing to say about how you describe the "Fox in Drag" as I would say that it more as a Crossdressing Fox. As some on one the branches of the TG tree I have learned that there are terms that many may not understand. Here (I believe) Drag is a performer who wheres the opposite sex's clothes (referring mostly to males wearing woman's clothing)
That's all I want to say. I still love the work not mater what.
That's all I want to say. I still love the work not mater what.
Hhmm... that'd be a tough call to say in this fox's case then. He is a theatre fellow and dresses in women's clothing only to trick people into thinking he's a woman, not because he enjoys being in women's clothing--so, does that fall qualify as a performance? ;]
OK now that is interesting. I would then say that would be more a DRAG than CD. I have yet to read the story so I was only going on what I have read here is all. Still for any type he is cute.
I'll be honest--I admit I never really gave much thought as to the particular differences between the two terms. Now, I shall have more insight in the future! :]
Best duo for a graphic novel. Ever.
So looking forward to it, guys! Keep up the great work!

yeah read that novel... and i have to agree with yea, its pretty awsomely written, the sex scenes are good well described... But what i really like is the akward situations the tigers ends up in, you kinda feel bad for him, but at the same time you love the fox caracter for getting him into them
even more reason I wish I was at Midwest. One: because it's Alaskan themed and I LIVE in freaking Alaska. Second: This BOOK is looking amazing good lord aaaa
Beautifully drawn and fun, I love the expressions and various emotions going on here. :)
I dunno what I like better, your art or the pleasure of speaking with you *guys* at furry cons. Both are always quite pleasant. Thanks for both!
Those facial expressions... and the tiger is *mrowr* as always! :XP
I have all the other books by Kyell and I can't wait to get this one when it comes out!!!
It's probably a bad thing that I read them in the middle of class though. ^-^

Anyhoo, awesome pic ^_^

Looks great, I have two novels from Kyell Gold (Volle and Waterways). It would be awesome to get that new novel where you'll be doing the illustrations
Seeing the roughs I'm now REALLY looking forward to giving this a purchase and a read =)
Great "teaser" pic btw ;)

To be gravely honest, my expression was the same as the wolf's when I saw the pic. Blotch, it's so awsome! XD
This is pretty nice and it made me read the parts already published online and it's real nice :)
Brought some memories with it too, brightened up my day a lot ^^

Always love the realism in your art! (not saying that animals walk on two feet and blaah blah blah lol, just the look)
Woah now, I like how this is going.
I love how your style's kinda real kinda cartoony, it's very appealing. I love their facial expressions dewd. :3

Wonderful depiction its just the sort artistry that makes me proud of being among one of the most gifted fandoms one could ever ask for. Though with such expressionate pictures you bring my belief that furry isn't just a fandom, but truly a way of life.
Is the fox here a male or female? I can't really tell for some reason. >>
something about the story doesnt feel like its set in modern day- especially with the mention of lauren bacall.. it totally feels like its ripped out of an era more like Casablanca.. and the choice of blouse kinda reinforces that feeling, its a very frilly girly shirt, more than I pictured when I read it. And somehow you pulled off kissing, that doesnt always work for anthro art! Muzzles are tough sometimes I guess. Cute piece though. Definitly a pivotal point in the two chapters that are posted
Drop-dead gorgeous artwork.
But waaaiii -- that vixen is a TODD??

I've read Out of Position. Check out my review of it on my userpage.
That was such a good book. I still read it again every so often.
I absolutely loved your artwork in this book. As a matter of fact, this was the first gay-themed book I ever owned, so I guess that makes you the first furry artist I've ever bought stuff from. Lol IDK... Good job!
