Description He was a captain
Of industry.
He was a captain
Of the sea.
He was a gentleman
With cracks and lines across his hands.

Iron waves
Crashed on his face
Made him feel less alone.

She was engaged
To be a bride.
With eyes so true
He could have cried.
She watched him cry on his knees.
'Dear Ollie, please let me be.'

Iron waves
Crashed on his face
Made him feel less alone.

'Ollie,' she said, 'leave me be.'
'Ollie,' she said, 'leave me be.'

She left him and he left everything.
She left him and he left everything.
She left him and he left everything.

-Oliver Dalston Browning by Keaton Henson [Link]

This year's sad miserable Lenten DC picture! Green Arrow themed again. I've wanted to do this ever since I first heard this song! It's like, alternate Green Arrow backstory, wherein he's already Green Arrow, then Black Canary leaves him for another (who I don't know) and in reaction he sets off drunkenly and suicidally to sea and THEN is shipwrecked and um... dies.
It's kind of a short-lived Green Arrow story.

But anyway, here it is. Another attempt at drawing water, which I don't think turned out particularly impressive, but it'll do. I very much like how Oliver came out looking.
