Dogs of War Anthology - Cover
Playing a little catch-up here on FA and posting work I finished a few months ago (I tend to post things/WIPs/sketches first on Twitter). This one was a cover for the Dogs of War anthology from FurPlanet!
(You can find more info here!)
UPDATE -- here's a link to the sequel's cover!

I'm gonna guess World War II,
Based on what appear to be either 1903 Springfield Rifles and M-1 Garands... As well as what appear to be B-16 Flying Fortresses in the air, plus the cartridge pouch web gear is more of that era, where as Vietnam they used more the Load Bearing Equipment or "LBE".

Ah, you are correct,
An error on my part for the WWII nomenclature XD And I am tracking the implementation for the M-16 came a while later. And while true that it could be a C-130, I tend to think it is the B-17 due to the straight, streamlined tail and vertical stabilizer, where as the C-130 has an upwards incline in the rear because of the rear loading/drop ramp on the plane...
The racoon could have a BAR, but it just doesn't seem to have enough metal in the receiver to be that (as then entire receiver was metal and no wood covering. Though I'm nearly certain that the Tiger has the Springfield 1903, due to the butt plate, really the only weapon in U.S. inventory that had that style of butt plate.

I think the raccoon might be holding a Johnson rifle, which would be period correct for WWII. Intentional or not, the Springfield and Johnson would both be correct for a WWII US Marine unit prior to full issue of the M1 Garand to the Marine Corps. So, early Pacific Theatre?
Sounds about right ,
And looking at uniform pictures of the era, it is much closer to the Marine Corps uniform than the Army uniform (probably an assumption I'd made previous from a bit of bias being an Army guy myself).
But yeah, looking real closely at both, I think you're spot on it there XD

I don't think so as much..
Resistance and guerilla usually dress slightly casual, (guerillas maybe more of uniform) but still in a way camouflaged, in case caught could claim to be a civilian and ditch all their weapons (besides like a knife) and a prefabricated rehearsed story of why they're there, he was taught their language and culture to a degree. There are books you can find for fighters from Austrian dialects to España Spanish. I am sure usually don't have helmets. I have some photos of Gr-Grandfather with his resistance unit in Spain after losing Austria.. anywhere from 1937 to 1939.
They all looked like ragged men one may mistake for a vagabond passerby at first glance (unless stopped and searched if the enemy wanted to harass or was overly diligent..) not a uniformed soldier though.
They didn't appear to be bush fighters or tropical guerillas either.
Who knows, that comment is from 2017 hehe.
