Happy New Year! This week kicks off with Kyell’s monthly Dispatch newsletter, which includes updates and highlights many of the exciting things coming up over the next month or so. We also wrap up the Squeak Thief audiobook this week. We hope you’ve enjoyed the ride. For Copper and higher members, the serialized audiobook will remain available to stream through the end of February. By the end of the week, both the ebook and audiobook editions will also be available for purchase. Looking ahead, the next audiobook to begin serialization next week will be the classic Dude, Where’s My Fox?, followed by the new release of Dude, Where’s My Pack?, assuming post-production stays on track. In the meantime, this week we’ll be sharing a fairy tale pulled from Kyell’s novel The Price of Thorns. We’re excited to share this short piece and expect to offer more like it as production continues on The Price of Thorns audiobook, which is slated for release later this year. Finally, the next chapter of the Fast Breaks serialized novel will go out on Saturday the 10th. There will be no writing stream this week.

We keep printouts of some of the original sketch work from the video on our wall as a constant inspiration to one day work on another Dev & Lee animation.
A sheet of pencil sketches depicting the anthropomorphic fox head of Lee in various angles and expressive poses. The expressions range from calm and curious to angry and surprised, with a few exaggerated reaction faces and side profile studies. A sheet of blue pencil sketches showing an anthropomorphic tiger character’s head, Dev, in different expressions and angles. The sketches include happy, sad, angry, and confused expressions, along with rough construction lines and crossed-out attempts. Two pages of pencil sketches showing anthropomorphic fox, Lee, in full-body poses. The left page features dynamic action poses and anatomical studies, while the right page has standing and seated poses, some dressed in clothing, exploring posture and gesture. Several sheets pinned on a wall displaying multiple figure sketches of anthropomorphic characters. The top row includes dynamic sports poses, action stances, and interactions between characters, while the bottom left shows red pencil gesture drawings, and the bottom right shows a turnaround view of a smiling anthropomorphic character from the front, side, and back.

A muscular anthropomorphic tiger, Dev Miski, in a dark t-shirt and maroon shorts is depicted in two poses. In the top-left corner, he’s lying on the ground, panting with exhaustion after a workout. In the main image, he’s standing upright, breathing heavily and visibly tired but determined. A speech bubble reads: “YOU’RE REALLY PUSHING YOURSELF TO THE LIMIT FOR YOUR AGE, GRAMPS!!!” An anthropomorphic fox, Lee Farrel, in a light blue shirt and khaki pants is shown in two poses. At the top left, he’s clutching his arm while yelling “NAH!!” defiantly as he chews on the cast. In the top-right, another character (off-screen) shouts, “HEY, YOU’RE GOING TO RUIN THE CAST!!!” Below, the fox sits on the floor typing on a laptop with a cast on his right paw. A caption next to him reads: “HIS PAW ITCHES.”

#Furry #ForesterUniverse #Dev&Lee #OutOfPosition #FurryLit
A warm, intimate illustration of two anthropomorphic characters—Dev, a tiger, and Lee, a fox—sharing a joyful embrace in a brightly lit elevator. Outside the elevator in the dim hallway, a shadowed rat character waits, looking slightly annoyed or indifferent. A newspaper inside the elevator shows Dev on the cover with the headline “Homoksi.” The scene is rich with warm tones and expressive body language, capturing a private moment in a public space. The artist’s name, Domik, appears above the elevator sign. The art captures a scene in the second book, Isolation Play, from the Out of Position series by author Kyell Gold.
