WIPs: December 2023 mOnthly grOw Illustration (Patreon)
Content
This month's concept comes from Mookie Johnson, who entered this idea into the October 2023 Color Commission and came in 2nd Place by only 1 vote (26 vs 25 votes)!
Why do you see Daphne in the initial rough sketch? Because I had a major brain-fart and started drawing her instead of Velma, even though I was a fan and major watcher of the series as a kid. D'oh!
Since the image is of en existing cartoon character in parody, it was an easier draw. So, I decided to spend a little extra time actually painting a background. Of course, it had to be in the style of the old cartoon's backgrounds. ;-)
Velma in front of a growth ray, saying, “Jinkies!” as she struggles to stand with her beanbag-sized breasts. Her sweater slid up as though she had lifted it before it got stretched.
