So I was talking with a friend about the virtues and shortcomings of the Arrow TV series, and it got me thinking about how I would handle these characters if I were designing them...so I did. In animated form. For Oliver, I was clearly influenced by one of my all-time favorite movies, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (fun fact: when Kenner produced its line of Robin Hood POT action figures, it used the Green Arrow body from its Super Powers line as a base for Robin!). In Canary's case, I started with the fishnets and worked outward. I wanted something that was based on her classic look, but that looked a little less...ridiculous? I decided to go with a heavy metal/ biker look for her, so that the corset and fishnets would look more like a style choice than a circus outfit.
