Green Arrow Fan Art

Have some Green Arrow too! Not lame, beardless, Batman-wannabe, CW Arrow. Real, comic book Green Arrow!






Oliver Queen is a personal favorite as super-heroes go and is definitely in the Top 3 for DC characters.
I need to stop trying to add cityscapes in the background of my quick sketches because then they never get done. I wanted to add more detail to the buildings but after about 3 days of coloring and inking sporadically I remembered that I have an actual comic I'm supposed to be working on.

Guardian of The Universe / Sinestro Redesign

I visited my family recently and played Injustice for all of 15 minutes. I've been in a DC mood the last 2 weeks as a result. So here.




The Guardians of the Universe have always had a neat look to them and are a great element of the Green Lantern mythos. Meanwhile, Sinestro is a villain that I have a weird affection for, mostly because of his name and Snidely Whiplash mustache.
I wanted to play with costumes a bit here. The Guardians usually wear something like a judge's robes, not necessarily "cool" but very iconic and relevant to their role as galactic peacekeepers. I tried to keep some of that while also referencing a Green Lantern uniform.


Sinestro is a rogue Green Lantern who tried to set up a regime on his homeworld. Given that "order through fear" has kind of become his theme I redesigned his costume with an SS uniform in mind (my original attempt was a little too on the nose and I had to scale it back). There are also elements of his modern and silver age costumes in there.
