Phantom Archer - LotC

Created for the game Legend of the Cryptids. The brief called for (and I'm paraphrasing) a slender but muscular hero that is both smart and athletic. He's a demigod who is talented with a bow who accidentally killed a relative of the king who then sent a thousand soldiers to kill him. However, he demolished the troops in a single day.
I wondered how one archer could take down a thousand man army then I imagined that he could summon phantom copies of himself that would shield him and fight with him. Art director liked the idea so we went with it.
