8 — Green Arrow Cosplay — Dishonor

A lot of people hate on Arrow, but say what you like, I love the CW network’s take on the character. I’ve been watching since it dropped in 2012 and I like to think that Stephen Amell and I would hang.

I drive past this field a lot with these dense fast growing trees/shrubs/bamboo — I have next to zero ability to identify foliage so I have no idea what it is. But it doesn’t look like your typical British woodland. I thought it could make an awesome Lian Yu, for those that don’t follow the trials and tribulations of Oliver Queen (aka the Green Arrow), that’s an island in the North China Sea where he gets stranded for 5 years.

My dad & I used to do a lot of archery when I was a kid, so there was a whole stack of equipment up in his loft… thinking about it, why did it take me this long to cosplay Green Arrow?

Behind The Scenes

The foliage was really dense, but you can make out the rim light behind, and the Rapid Box which I boomed up and over. What you can't see is the iPad I stashed to the right wirelessly linked to my camera, helps so much when doing selfies!

Why does she make a better Olivia Queen (Earth-11) than I do an Oliver Queen?
