I'm an artist and a friend asked me to draw the art for a dakimakura. I'm sure I can handle drawing his waifu in bed in a cute/sexy pose, but this is something I haven't done before, and I don't think he has either, so I was hoping you guys could give some tips.

>He wants his waifu in sexy pajamas on the front, and a rear view on the back, because he tosses and turns a lot in his sleep and it would be weird for her to have gotten changed in the middle of the night. Autism is a hell of a drug.
>He's having the pillowcase printed at Cuddly Octopus, is that a legitimate operation?
>I don't know how hi-res the print needs to be for it to look good. Will the pillowcase printer tell me/
>Is it a mistake to honor his front view/rear view request? I noticed most dakis have two different poses/outfits on each side.

Basically I'm a pretty good artist but this is something I know nothing about and I want to do right by my bro. What do I need to know?

Nemissa from Shin Megami Tensei. She's supposed to be wearing a tank top and those panties that are like short shorts for pajamas. This is one of the reference pics he gave me.

Great. Do I just, like, draw her on his sheets looking like she wants to cuddle? I must be missing something important here.

The two different views are there to further the sensation of the character physically occupying
the space the the pillow takes up. Also butt.

I had an artist friend do this for me too about a year ago. Here's what I know.
>He's having the pillowcase printed at Cuddly Octopus, is that a legitimate operation?
Definitely. Very reliable and friendly too, they contacted me letting know that a certain color would be a little bit off, and even let me know when the artist himself tried to get it printed for himself (they thought it was somebody stealing the commissioned work)
>I don't know how hi-res the print needs to be for it to look good. Will the pillowcase printer tell me/
My Daki pillow was 160x50 cm, a very common size. For that it needed to be 1680x5376. But yes Cuddly will tell you what you need. Just contact them if you're worried.
>Is it a mistake to honor his front view/rear view request? I noticed most dakis have two different poses/outfits on each side.
I don't see why it would be a problem if that's what he wants. Just make the front of the pillow a face-up pose and the back a face-down style pose focusing on her butt or something similar. No need to change outfits to keep it lewd.

Someone had me draw a daki once. For an inanimate object no less.

When my friend was commissioning, he sketched poses in kisekae. You might ask him to do so, to see what he means.
