This is something I sketched out back when the first season of Velma came out. While I didn’t care for it at all, I did like the designs and wanted to do something with them. Obviously there’s no beating classic Velma, but I do like how the HBO Velma looks and wouldn’t mind doing a bit with her here and there. I’m less into Daphne’s design in this series, but I like her relationship with Velma so they’re fun to pair together. Daphne also has a different hairstyle in one specific episode that I think looks a lot better, I might draw her with that at some point.
At any rate, I never finished the first season and also never got around to working on this pic at the time. When the second season came out I decided to catch up and watched it all on one go, and while the show got better for me it still never got good. I found myself wanting to return to this pic, though, so I did. I also added a bit of dialogue that I felt was kinda on par for the writing in the show.
