Ready to go on patrol (Patreon)

A patron reward for Octavia Melody. He wanted a drawing of Octavia and Vinyl as if they were characters from the late 80's, early 90s manga and anime Dominion Tank Police Link   Link 

     The mini tank went through a few changes between the various issues and episodes of the anime and manga. This is how the tank more or less appeared in the 1992 story  Dominion Conflict One: No More Noise. So here's the music horses in one of the mini tanks that main character Leona Ozaki loved. She named her's Bonaparte. 

      One of the most complicated things about this drawing was those damn tracks. In fact reviewing my references I discovered that often you couldn't see them completely because the artist put things is front of them, showed them in motion where they were a blur, or used lots of dark Zipatone-style screentone shading Link to obscure much of their detail. But I prevailed in the end.
