[ratcreature]

Fandom: DCU (Green Arrow)
Characters: Connor Hawke (Green Arrow II)
Media used: pencil drawing, inked and colored with a Wacom tablet in GIMP
Rating/warnings: G, none
Notes/comments: It was kind of hard to decide how to draw him, because there doesn't seem to be any real consensus on how "non-European" he looks. So let me know whether my version matches your mental image of him.

I think it's lovely! I like the almond shape of his eyes.

[ratcreature]

Thank you! I'm glad you like it. :)

He looks Slavic to me, rather than from western Europe. Except for the blonde hair, of course.

[ratcreature]

Huh. Well, the eyes are supposed to look Asian (you know, with the epicanthic fold and a single, rather than the European double eyelid) and the nose a bit African, because his mother Moonday Hawke is half Korean, half African-American, iirc, and of course his father is Oliver Queen, i.e. the first Green Arrow. Connor's blond hair is just about the only thing consistent in his canon appearances.

Lovely! I don't have a strong enough mental image of Conor to say either way, but this doesn't strike me as wrong, either.

[ratcreature]

Yay! Thank you! And yeah, I don't really formed a definite mental image from the comics either, because I usually encounter him only as supporting character in the books I read regularly and then they kept changing him on top of that.

This is awsome. The way Connor should be drawn if only DC's artists would remember his racial origins when the draw and color him, it reminds me of the earlier days of his appearence.

Thank you. I'm glad you like how he turned out.

I really like this, though he looks slightly more Korean in my head.

[ratcreature]

Thanks you. That's great to hear. :)
