Rat-tat-tat!
🕑 Added 2025-04-07 19:06:08 +0000 UTCOut of the corner of her eye Octavia spied in the darkness a fedora adorned shadow slowly rise up from behind the Pierce-Arrow. As the threatening silhouette brought a shotgun shaped shadow to its shoulder the mare swung her submachine gun around and fired a quick burst.
Rat-tat-tat!
The shadow convulsed several times and then tumbled back behind the car.
This was the final drawing I started during my recent Noir/Hard-Boiled Picarto stream. A few years ago there was a surge of fan art piece portraying Octavia Melody as a gangster. Heck at the time I drew that way as well. But I've never drawn her with a Thompson/Tommy Gun. So I decided to fix that. Now I only had an hour to work to get the basic line work done, but at least I had some references of a Thompson with me. So overall I am happy with the results. Of course I finished the shading after the stream.
And yes if you're wondering her outfit is very much inspired by certain Michael Jackson video. Link
Edit. This piece will be for sale at BABSCon 2025. Come see me at Table H-12!

More rattle, rattle, clunk. There's a reason why eventually Thompsons just used stick magazines, but the do look so iconic on the M1921 and 1928s.

Rat-tat-tat is the noise that drum'll be making as well while she's carrying it.

Oh I've drawn Thompsons in the past. But everyone draws them when they draw gangsters so I like to draw other stuff.

I'm surprised you'd never done a Thompson before, given its iconic! Wish I could have seen it during the stream, but no internet that day.
