449 - Tokarev's Piece


I don't particularly like guns.  Nor do I draw them very often.  I do pay attention to them, however.  I took a sketch I drew some time ago of a Tokarev TT-33 handgun and colourized it. 

The TT-33 was a World War II-era Soviet-made sidearm.  It would have been favoured by the Eastern Bloc mercenaries hired to take down Ian Fleming's James Bond.  White dinner jacket with a blood red carnation in the lapel, fez, and a dark moustache would have been optional dress, at least until Labour Day.
