SO! At long last, I can reveal the project I've been working on for the last three weeks. About a year ago,
Kyell hatched a plan for an incredible Moulin Rouge-inspired story, to premiere at Furry Weekend Atlanta this year. Being as that's their theme, really couldn't be more appropriate :)
I can't even express how honored I've been to be doing the illustrations for this book. I've read it several times now, and I can honestly say it's my favorite of all his novels. I can't WAIT until you guys get the chance to read it. Working on the artwork for it has been so inspiring.
Check out Kyell's journal about the novel here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/3076047/
I'm sure he'll be posting specific release info when it's available. For now, enjoy the cover, and if you're curious what the story's about, here's the blurb from Kyell's journal. . . .
Being a vegetarian wolf is enough trouble, but if his parents and friends knew Sol had stopped eating meat to be closer to his secret Internet boyfriend, things would really turn ugly. Already, his father’s threatened him with a hot, muggy summer working in the peach cannery if he doesn’t get his act together—translation, win back his starting spot on the high school baseball team. Angry, the teenager finds answers and solace in an unlikely place: a book about a tragic gay romance at the turn of the century in the bohemian district of Lutèce, around the famed Moulin Rouge cabaret. Soon after drinking absinthe with a friend, Sol dreams he is a dancer there, offered a chance to escape his difficult life through romance—at the price of his beloved art of dance.
When the dreams begin to encroach on reality in surprising ways, Sol finds himself beset not only by bullies and his former teammates, but by the problems of a couple who died a hundred years ago. To secure his future before he goes crazy, he will have to learn the difference between reality and illusion, and answer the questions of love and life for himself.

Beautiful cover art for a rather interesting sounding tale from Kyell Gold. He seems to have a way of turning out works, even if they touch on homosexual couple writings. Its still tasteful in a way and his concept for this new one sounds really interesting. Especially the touching on trying to find what is reality and what is the dream. So that the protagonist doesn't find himself getting hurt in either light. Because its liable to happen in either end. But in which sense of reality is liable to get hurt.
