As part of an attempt to fight that burnout I've been struggling with for months at this point, I decided to scratch two creative itches at once--a desire to have a Starfarer avatar/alternate fursona for myself, and wanting to draw more chubby subby guys--and this was the result.
Meet Domec, a maintenance guy assigned to an old starcruiser orbiting a mining colony on some wild planet in some backwater part of Lightbearer Dominion space. While little more than a janitor and cook, he often makes supply runs in his shuttle, zipping back and forth between his post and the Dominion capital world, Inansianna, to pick up parts and supplies that aren't worth bringing the entire cruiser back into core space or sending out a large transport over.
As for why he's saluting, but kneeling and in his underwear... that's just the pose I wanted to draw, but I was able to come up with a possible explanation--it was supposed to be his day off, or he wasn't expected to be on duty until later in the day, but his commanding officer barged in while he was relaxing in bed with an assignment for him, startling him and making him roll out of bed...

Thank you very much! He's sort of based on me in the whole "basically just a cook and janitor and maintenance guy that sometimes has to do supply runs" thing--seems like once a week I gotta go to the restaurant on the other side of town to pick up something that we're running low on or didn't come in our delivery, and when I'm not running the till or cooking, I'm fixing stuff around the store. A couple days ago I had to put a new handle on the walk-in cooler. I think "slight mechanical aptitude" and "able to bullshit through situations" is a fun combination of traits for characters that are otherwise sort of dopey.
My future plans for him involve him having some sort of issue with his navigation computer and winding up thousands of light-years away, so he can awkwardly explore other parts of the galaxy and have adventures and stuff as he tries to find his way back home.
Let's just hope he remembers to get dressed before he gets in the shuttle!
