Studio Halloween Party Highlights 2024

By on Thursday, October 31, 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.

Arlene’s Halloween Costume

By on Wednesday, October 30, 2024

Last year I started a new Halloween tradition. Mirroring the annual Studio Santa pin-up, one Studio member gets randomly selected to show off their Halloween costume for that year. The winner this time was Arlene Wilcox, a one-episode Scooby-Doo character, and I had this idea for a scene that I thought would be more interesting than a regular pin-up. I don’t expect to do this kind of thing too often with these series, but I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity for what I thought would be a fun little pic.

Wilcox Twins Embrace

By on Tuesday, October 20, 2020

So here we have a return appearance of Arlene Wilcox and her mysterious twin sister, the Ghost Witch of Old Salem, from the Scooby-Doo Show. It’s been a minute since I last did anything with either of these two, but I’m still very much into the Ghost Witch character. I wanted to fit her into my lineup for October posts, so I took this pic I drew alongside their last appearance and inked/colored it. It wasn’t necessarily my intention when I started it, but it kinda looks like the Ghost Witch has hypnotized or entranced Arlene somehow. Even though it’s accidental, I kinda like that concept for these two.
Anyway, this might be the last time I draw both of them together, I don’t know. I’d still like to do more with the Ghost Witch, but Arlene’s kinda forgettable and is really only useful to me as an incestuous partner for the Ghost Witch. So I’m not 100% ruling out more sisterly bonding from them in the future, but right now it’s not in the plans.

Wilcox Gemini

By on Friday, May 15, 2020

So not that long ago, some of you may remember me drawing the one-off Scooby-Doo villain the Ghost Witch of Old Salem from the Scooby-Doo Show episode “To Switch a Witch”. I sketched this picture around the same time, but decided to wait and see how people responded to the first pic of her before inking and coloring it. I was pleasantly surprised with the positive response her first pic got, so I picked this back up to wrap it up. Spoilers here, but the plot of the episode revolves around the Ghost Witch framing her twin sister, Arlene Wilcox, since nobody knows she has a twin and the ghost supposedly looks like her. The mystery is solved when the gang reveals the existence of this evil twin, though we never get her name or see her unmasked (though supposedly she looks like Arlene without the costume). I knew after watching the episode I wanted to draw these twins together, so here it is. I don’t much expect I’ll draw Arlene again, unless it’s to pair her with the Ghost Witch. Even though she’s pretty enough, she’s attractive in a way that’s not super interesting to me, so her main purpose in my mind is as a potential incestuous partner for the much more interesting-looking Ghost Witch character.

The Ghost Witch of Old Salem

By on Tuesday, March 24, 2020

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.
