Description

Keeping faithful to the theme, we have a sword and arrows.

Since he's so great with medieval themes, I asked Bo to do his version of a medieval Green Arrow and Black Canary.

Bo had to do his version of Neal Adam's Green Arrow. And the Canary's costume and fishnets would be replaced with armor, sword and shield. My idea was to have the small plate armor resemble fishnet.

As Bo was working on this, it came to me that this would be an "Elseworlds" version of them.

It was very interesting that Bo avoided the cliche of needing to show the bow in it's entirety. Pretty rare for a pinup piece. Bo impressed me with his ability to use 2 colors (green and blue) that usually clash (at least to me)... and get them working together.

Having a sword and arrows is worth 4 sketchbook bonus points.

Black Canary was created by Robert Kanigher and Carmine Infantino.

Green Arrow was created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp.
