MomSwap – Velma and Mrs. Dinkley

So, like I did with Daphne before, I’m using the “A Pup Named Scooby-Doo” version of Velma and her mom for the MomSwap series. Now, Velma’s mom in “Mystery Incorporated” is named Angie, but that version of the franchise is clearly in a completely different universe than any other version. That’s why I used the name Elizabeth for Daphne’s mom, rather than Nan, and why I’m just going with Mrs. Dinkley for Velma’s mom. However, like with Daphne, I do think there’s a good chance I’ll draw the “Mystery Incorporated” equivalent of this pairing somewhere down the line, since I do like the idea of Velma and Angie getting it on.

Shelly and Bubbles

So, this may be news to some folks since I think I’ve only really talked about it on Discord, but here these past couple months I’ve been watching a lot of old Hanna-Barbera cartoons. Specifically I’ve been interested in the “teenagers and a mascot” cartoons that they pumped out to try and milk the success of Scooby-Doo (their funny animal cartoons are fun, too, but this formula specifically is what I’ve been invested in). I’ve always really liked how Hanna-Barbera’s girls looked. I think the style is cute and charming, so almost any female characters in their cartoons would interest me, even at a young age. That being said, I’ve been wanting to draw some of the girls from these mystery solving and adventure teams, the girls who would fill the roles of Daphne and Velma in the group. Shelly LaMarine (the dark haired one) and Bubbles Blowton (the blonde) were two such characters from Jabberjaw, the cartoon where the mascot was a big shark who talked like Curly from the Three Stooges.
I remember having a big crush on Shelly as a kid, especially. Something about how slick her hair always looked, plus her general bitchy attitude (I have a thing for brats) and the way Jabberjaw was into her all appealed to me in ways I couldn’t quite explain back then. I knew when I wanted to start drawing some of these characters she’d be first on my list, and I decided to pair her with Bubbles in a similar way to how I pair Daphne and Velma. Shelly and Bubbles have a very different dynamic, though, with Shelly being the bratty type I already described, and Bubbles being every bit the ditzy/dumb blonde stereotype. I came to appreciate Bubbles more while drawing this pic, I think she’s a lot cuter than I’d originally thought, so I definitely would like to draw both of them again (maybe together, maybe separate). I’ve got a number of other Hanna-Barbera heroines I’d like to get to as well, though, so we’ll see how long it takes. Hopefully y’all will like them as much as I do and they can become semi-regulars around here. ^_^

The Ghost Witch of Old Salem

So for the past couple months I’ve been watching a lot of Scooby-Doo content. This started with watching Mystery Incorporated, then to watching several of the animated movies (a mix of the recent specials, the mid-2000’s DVDs, and the classic 80’s movies). Currently I’m watching “What’s New, Scooby-Doo?”, but I’ve also been watching a few random episodes of the classic series. One of these episodes is “To Switch a Witch”, from “The Scooby-Doo Show”. It’s nothing too out there for classic Scooby-Doo, but part of why I wanted to watch it was that the monster of this one really caught my eye. She’s the resurrected ghost of Milissa Wilcox, a victim of the Salem witch trials who’s returned for revenge. It’s a classic witch trope, though this being Scooby-Doo she’s obviously not really Wilcox’s ghost.
The thing that makes this ghost special, for me, is that the story of the episode meant she couldn’t be an old crone like most other Scooby-Doo witches. The gang is brought into the mystery because they came to help Velma’s friend Arlene Wilcox settle this old estate. Arlene is Milissa’s descendant, and the townspeople think the ghost is coming back through her body because they have the same face. Since Arlene’s a pretty young woman, this means the witch is also pretty (though they gave her spooky eyes and creases around the mouth, which kinda spoils the illusion of them looking identical for the viewer, since IMHO she looks about as much like Arlene as she does Daphne). Anyway, spoilers for a 30+ year old cartoon coming up, but the ghost is actually Arlene’s long lost twin sister she didn’t know about. It’s kinda a weak reveal, and we don’t even see her unmasked or get a name for her (although we can assume she just looks exactly like Arlene).
The episode is fun, but I felt inexplicably drawn to this ghost witch. Not only do I think her design is really appealing, but her witchy laugh and general antics in the episode also charmed me. I don’t know if it’s just me, or if other folks will enjoy this too, but I really wanted to draw her. Obviously this sort of pic would be more timely at Halloween (the episode itself is even a Halloween episode), but if I waited for the calendar to catch up I’m sure I would’ve forgotten about her. I did another sketch of her and Arlene both presenting their asses side-by-side, and I might go ahead and finish/release that pic down the road if people seem interested in this one. It’s hard for me to guess since I’m not sure how much people will agree with me on this character, and she’s a relatively deep cut… Anyway, I hope you all can enjoy this spooky gal.

Blakes Poolside

So a while back I released a Daphne Blake MomSwap entry, using the “A Pup Named Scooby-Doo” versions of Daphne and her mother (who I used the name Elizabeth for, since that was the name of Daphne’s mom in the older shows). Mystery Incorporated uses a completely different continuity, however, with more prominently featured parents for all the main cast. Daphne’s mom in this version is named Nan, and she’s sorta like this shallow, airhead trophy wife type character. All the women in Daphne’s family look like alternate designs for Daphne herself, including her mom, but the plus side of that is that all the women in Daphne’s family are pretty hot. Nan herself seems like a taller, bustier Daphne with longer and slightly oranger hair (and a hat). I put them by the pool we see the gang hang out in once or twice.
I have more stuff planned from this version of Scooby-Doo down the road, including a return to Hot Dog Water/Velma content. There’s a lot of characters unique to this version of the franchise I’d like to explore, but I’d also like to dabble in some stuff from other versions too eventually. The challenge will just be finding the time, so I can’t say how long it’ll be until we see Scooby-Doo stuff pop up again. ^_^;

Velma and Marcie

I recently started watching Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated, the 2010 Scooby-Doo series. I’m only partway through it right now, but I’m enjoying it. When it first came out I wasn’t a huge fan of the redesigns for the characters, but I’ve moved past that now. One thing I appreciate about this incarnation of the franchise is all the new characters it brought in, one of whom is Marcie Fleach, also known as “Hot Dog Water”, a cute nerdy girl with ties to Velma. I don’t want to get into her role in the series too much, but she’s a fun alternative ship for Velma. I think it’s likely I’ll draw this pairing again, although I’m definitely not done with Velma and Daphne as a pairing.

Velma Dinkley Character Ask 3

So, for the record, I think Daphne’s ass is probably tighter, but obviously Velma’s is juicier.
I’ve been wanting to draw classic Daphne and Velma again for a minute. Not sure if this Ask scratched that itch all the way, there might be more coming with them later unless I get distracted. Velma especially I’ve been wanting to draw again. This just seemed like a fun way to work these two back into circulation.

Fresh Daphne and Velma

So I’m sure everyone’s seen the trailers for the new Scooby-Doo movie by now. I’ve been itching to do something with Daphne and Velma again for a while, and while I personally still prefer the more classic designs, I thought it’d be fun to dabble in these new designs a little. I don’t expect to draw these versions of them again (though I might try out the loli designs we see in the trailer at some point, not sure), I wanted to do at least one pic with them.

MomSwap – Daphne and Elizabeth Blake

I’ve wanted to use the “Pup Named Scooby-Doo” versions of the Mystery Inc. crew for a while. Of them, I think Daphne is especially cute, so I used her and her mom first. Daphne actually has two different moms that appear in the show (there’s no indication they’re different characters, it comes across more like they forgot about her first appearance and introduced a new design when they used her later). The first time we see Daphne’s parents they’re just two rich people stereotypes, but in the second appearance they both look just like, well… Daphne. I used that later appearance here, since the family resemblance is there, and even though she’s not named in “Pup” Daphne does have a redheaded mother named Elizabeth in other versions of the franchise. I plan to do Velma and her mom in a later entry for MomSwap, too, but it won’t be the next one.

Daphne Blake Character Ask 1

So Daphne’s appeared in Velma’s Asks before, but this is her first time answering a question herself. I felt like this one was really just an excuse to draw Daphne and Velma together again, but… I’m okay with that. I’ve liked these two as a pairing ever since I was a little kid, and the only reason I don’t draw them more often is because Scooby-Doo isn’t a franchise in the forefront of my mind these days. Anyway, tried to do something a little different with them instead of more ass worship (though there’s still a good view, if you ask me).

If you wanna see Velma in a slightly different role, feel free to check out my latest fic here: https://nearhentai.com/literature/chi-chis-fan-appreciation-tour-chapter-one-meet-the-fans/

Velma Dinkley Character Ask 2

So originally this Ask was going to be just Velma showing off her butt, without the mention of Daphne. While I was working on it, though, I decided it’d be a lot more fun to return to Velma’s roots (as far as my work is concerned) and bring Daphne in to show off her love of Velma’s ass. I tweaked my designs for these characters slightly here, trying to take in some elements from their different incarnations that I like. No major changes or anything, but thought I should acknowledge that the way I draw these two is still evolving.
