Velma

Studio Halloween Party Highlights 2024

For the past few years I’ve found it increasingly harder to come up with ideas for new Spookyverse characters for the annual Halloween pic. While I’m sure it’d be possible to squeeze out a few more, and I might still add new characters to the roster in the future, I decided to change course this year and instead showcase a Halloween party similar to what I’ve been doing for Christmas the past couple years.
Like with the Christmas party, I wanted to give the random raffle character from the Halloween costume pic the spotlight center panel, so we see Arlene getting with some big studs like she wanted (Silas, Ginyu, Jeice and Salza). Her sister also gets to have some fun, plus some Velma-on-Saiyaman action and a few other fun appearances. I tried to fit in a few Halloween-appropriate characters, while also giving a few characters some costumes. Some folks here don’t have costumes on, either ’cause they didn’t bother dressing up for the party or because they already lost the whole costume. Everyone seems to be having fun, though, and I hope you all enjoy the page.

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.
