Good evening, if you are reading this then you are being considered for a very special commission with Cool-Poochyena! This here will give you some VERY helpful basics and ideas, so please do use this as a guide.

PLEASE also refer to the other references and works in this portfolio gallery... cool-poochyena.deviantart.com/…

In basic summary, the commission itself is to create a picture/colored-sketch of Moderator Sochi in the style of WWII plane art but with a much more futuristic/anime twist.

When it comes to the style of the picture itself, I do not mean that you should make it grainy and have clashing bad colors and lines like some WWII era squadron logo. It's actually a futuristic pic that takes inspiration from WWII plane art of the past, so it should be done like any modern art with no worry about making it vintage or stylized 

Also I do not mean that it MUST be anime-like in style, I just mean to use some of  the styles and tropes of more futuristic set anime or manga to inspire you if you wish. This does not mean make it chibi or give it overly enormous eyes, but rather to let motifs from series such as Mobile Suit Gundam Destiny Seed or Neon Genesis Evangelion along with tons of others I can't think of right now. 

I repeat, use whatever style or tactics you feel most comfortable with...

To put it in the most simplest terms, I am a pretty big prude to say the least and I do not in any way condone the act of exploiting anyone of any gender to create eye-candy or trashy images. Paradoxically, I also want to pay slight homage to the WWII era where GI's far from home would paint portraits of their flames upon the bodies of their planes. So in essence I want to slightly pay tribute to said motifs of the past, while also making it as PG and asexual as possible. It's kind of like if someone absolutely loved the film Casablanca but they abhorred smoking, so they edited out all the ciggeretes and replaced them with toothpicks or blades of grass.

Unfortunately I had an insanely hard time finding examples that even approached a PG or G rating, so these are not the best but should give you an idea

EXAMPLES:

situkriver.files.wordpress.com…

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/7… (Great example of perfectly wholesome modern nose-art)

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/2…

vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/f…

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/7…

www.warrelics.eu/forum/attachm…

uproxx.files.wordpress.com/201… (Okay technically this is an ad for a fake 1940's styled softdrink from the scifi game Fallout 4, but the theme is the same)

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/2…

www.aircraftnoseart.net/Sawyer… (Not the best example)

t07.deviantart.net/9giJwd1zMp8…

yerf.metafur.org/chiaandy/chia… (Very good example of what NOT to do, while the pose is not bad, it's the outfit itself and the overly sultry expression which is the problem. Placing Moderator Sochi in an outfit like this will NOT get you bonus points, but rather a spoonful of salty feedback from myself)

yerf.metafur.org/chiaandy/b-25… (Kind of a Bad Example, the commission needs to be WAY less sultry then this)

Now I also would like to add that I would like the background itself to be transparent or pure white, for I plan to use a specialized decal program to turn it into an actual decal for a large science-fiction ship model I am building. No, I would never DARE turn it into a massive production-line of scale model decals for sale, this is just for my personal use. All credit will go directly to you if I do post a picture of the model on DA.

If you want to add text or words onto the picture like many such airplane art examples, then go ahead and write it in Russian or Japanese or Korean (Google Translate can show you how). See, I don't know what the actual ship will be called yet so English subtitles would only limit me in the long run. You are free to write anything in either of those languages as long as it's not inappropriate! Heck, you could write "Tasty Shrimp Noodles" and I would not care!

I included a sample sheet of my random weak ideas in the portfolio, you don't have to use any of them, but looking at them might give you ideas

Refer to Moderator Sochi Improved Reference 1 for the wardrobe and colors, but feel free to make her hair and tail darker or lighter with differing colors and streaks. As of now I still have no idea if I'd rathet have that white portion in the middle to be her fur or just a white undersuit, so it's up to you!

Now if you want to go the route of incorporating a missile or ship of some sort, then go ahead and make full use of the XE-THYLACINE model #XETHYLACINE or this futuristic anime torpedo here: encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/ima…

If you feel you absolutely need to have a logo as a back-drop, then feel free to use this one... i0.wp.com/tamrielo.com/wp-cont…

Here are some DO's and DON'Ts that will come in handy...
+ Feel free to make Sochi's skirt longer, like to a little past the knees
- I would advise against completely changing her outfit wholesale
+ If you see neon-green on the outfit, feel free to make those puppies glow like a glow-stick at a Nightcore rave party! 
- Don't use shading or shadows on the actual background (the white part)
+ Do feel free to decide whether you want to give her a more longer or shorter snout, whether it is more vulpine or feline.
- Under NO circumstances will the picture itself have overly sultry themes, a change in chest size, overly suggestive motifs, navals, cleavage, or appeal to any f&tishes. I don't care what you might think proper anthropomorphic anatomy might be, I want Sochi to remain "flatter then Kansas".
+ Please do ask me questions or suggestions as much as you want! I will give tons of feedback if you send me WIPs along the way
- Do not feel that you can ditch the commission and run once I have paid you, I don't ACTUALLY think you'd rip me off but I just wanted to state it!  

This is VERY important, realize that I am a VERY flawed artist and creator. If you see a glaring mistake in the design of Sochi or ideas presented by me, please improve them. Feel free to improve seven-fold upon anything done by myself, the design is not 100-percent cast in stone or infallible.

If you want to send me concepts or WIPs privately, then my email is Bajathylacine@gmail.com
This is a document that will give you an idea of what I have in mind for the commission
