[Commission] Call for Training Help

Darren and Putri in their training at NBL for their upcoming Shuttle launch, the latter seems to be needing the former's help

Phew, well, this year on art started rather roughly for me, but we got there, man do I need a palate cleanser after this ^^;

So, for the first pic in 2025 we got another commission this time, for Astronaut-Violet on DA and Bluesky featuring her OCs, on the right being Darren Becker and on the left being, well, the commissioner seems to have renamed her already, but this character's name is now Putri Sukarno (Not to be confused with Megawati Soekarnoputri, the daughter of the first president of Indonesia, herself was the fifth) and this wasn't the first time, I explored her gallery, and as we know, she went by the name of Vira Radityansyah, and then Vira Sukarno, until Violet renamed her again to this one, Oh well ^^; And shown here we can see the two submerged themselves into the water of the Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL) clad in the training version of NASA's EMU spacesuit, first time in my gallery to have that suit in action underwater, and performing some training tasks for their upcoming mission aboard Space Shuttle Galatea, with Putri seems to be needing Darren's help on installing a mockup rolled up solar panel.

Now, Popsicle and Parfait members, I'm sorry that there's no WIP post of this, but here's the process. Well as usual, many of the pics's elements are taken from my earlier drawings, but since this is the first time of me doing the 3/4 view of the training EMU, drawing the needed parts to replace that of the ones used in space were obviously had to be done, Yay, more bases for future pics ^^; But other than that, all the poses goes on as usual. I was rather stuck on what to draw given the few details that I got during the discussion for this pic, other than them being at the Shuttle mockup at the NBL and having speech bubbles on the pic, so much so that I have to ask the members at a Discord server I'm a member of to suggest for ideas. Ultimately decided  on having them install a mockup solar panel, something that is definitely going to be a two man job, and, as Darren said, hopefully the divers won't mind ^^;
One pqueue off the commission log any many more to go ^^; Hopefully this year is when I got most if not all of them done, as for this pic itself, it's good enough ^^

Thanks for your order, Astronaut-Violet, and I hope you, and as always you guys, liked it :D
