I'm assuming it was Shaggy who talked Fred into that upper-arm tribal tattoo.

She just comes across as some weird token moe from a lovely anime.Calaveron posted:Legit thought Velma was meant to be a small person This would actually be really cool and great representation.

Calaveron posted:Legit thought Velma was meant to be a small person Yeah, I assumed Velma was supposed to be the same age as everyone, just kind of tiny and crouching a bit. It's understandably confusing though, because that picture is terrible in so many ways.

I mean I would totally read/watch this series, more so than I would a lot of Marvel/DC stuff, and I'm not sure what that says about me. But seriously, I loving love Shaggy's look in it, he looks peak hipster craft beer lover. WickedHate, you literally have the worst opinions on everything. Please, care about yourself and like good things rather than poo poo.

You know, I get everyone's distaste with the picture, but (Velma's sassy legs excepted) I find the whole thing charmingly bonkers. Shaggy can't decide if he's circa '93 grunge or living in Williamsburg in 2011, Freddie tucks his polo shirt into his momjeans but still flashes his late '90s tribal tat, Daphne has what appear to be gardening gloves and loose-fitting pleather overalls—worn single-strapped, because, again, it's the mid-'90s in Jim Lee's mind, three of the characters shop at the Cowl-Neck Clothes Only Outlet because Jim Lee became terrified of drawing necks some time in the past decade, and all of the high technology looks like it was salvaged from some aborted late-'80s cyberpunk sequel to Ghostbusters (except for the quadcopter with oversized PS2 controller). It's such a splendidly strange mish-mash, I can't help but find it charming.

Also it looks like Jim Lee was replaced by J. Scott Campbell at some point.

She's missing her big boobs, which are a major part of her character design. I think this is fan art?

You know, fans tend to draw Velma as short and pudgy(not in the image Say Nothing posted, but it got me to thinking about this), fitting her being a geek, but why not Daphne be the fat one or something? It'd be cool for the "pretty one" to have a body type that isn't "swimsuit model".

I can't even remember much else about it, but the open acknowledgement that Scrappy was and always had been terrible was great.

It's weird to me that over the years even the official scooby doo stuff started drawing Velma hot.

Scooby as Ace the Bat hound Velma as Robin Shaggy as Oliver Queen Fred as a pallet-swapped BK Kids kid And Daphne as...someone. I can't place her. I wanna say one of the Batgirls.

Holy poo poo, there are ThunderCats minimates. I cannot justify spending that many actual American Earth Dollars on them right now, but I'm so happy to know they exist.

It'd be cool for the "pretty one" to have a body type that isn't "swimsuit model". I think about the later 90s or so when the first big Scooby revivals were starting to happen with Zombie Island there was maybe a notion that due to Velma being the 'geekier' one that gradually making her thinner and less frumpy was sort of a more modern move of the time. One of those things that you could show off to kids that this smart/nerdy character can still be as attractive as a Daphne.

Lurdiak posted:Yeah, his cartoon was great. You know, I really, really liked the style of animation in this, the MIB, and the Big Guy and Rusty series. God, why were there so many good and good LOOKING cartoons in the late 90s/early 2000s? I mean, I'm sure if I go back and watch some of them I might be revealed to be wearing rose tinted glasses... but I do remember enough about Big Guy and Rusty to know I should be angry it's hard to find it in any kind of halfway decent format that doesn't look like it was ripped from a VHS that got run over by a truck. That and Phantom 2040. drat. For slightly more relevant to thread topic conversation: What was with that period where Batman's cape had pointy shoulders??  It doesn't look scary or imposing, it just looks weird. KaosMachina fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Jan 29, 2016 |

Trying to make him look more like a bat and less like a guy in pajamas, I guess. I think it looks dumb too. Also, does Batman just run around shouting "JOKER!" all day?
