Default SIU Aviation Painting

Just finished this last night. SIU's mascot is the saluki (an Egyptian hunting dog). Lots of Egyptian references in the area and in fact southern IL is known as "Little Egypt".

Thanks. ^ As for the model, a girl. Thought the long hair, high heals, short cut skirt and the "finest aviators" play on words might give it away but I guess not.

All those things you mention are suppose to make it **look** like a girl - but your model looks like a guy in drag.
Any chance of softening up that face or is it a done deal?

Is this going up for auction or part of winning the golf tourney?

Auction, I believe. That's what they did last year. It's up to them to determine how they want to use it though, I just make the donation.
