INKtober: Scooby-Doo Villains Month - WEEK THREE

Continuing my INKtober redesigns of classic Scooby-Doo villains.

All of these sketches are done with blue Col-Erase pencils with quick inks using a Flair pen, and then quick digital colors in Photoshop.

DAY FIFTEEN: The 10,000 Volt Ghost, from the 1976 episode from Season 1 of The Scooby-Doo Show, "Watt a Shocking Ghost". Okay, so I cheated a little and chose a really simple monster this time. But he's a classic! And I was starting to fall behind and now thanks to this simple design, I'm all caught up! Threw in a little background color this time, so I could add a cheap little glowy effect.


DAY SIXTEEN: The Ghost of Elias Kingston, from the 1969 episode from Season 1 of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, "What the Hex Going On?". My favorite thing about this guy is his blue skin. Without it, he's pretty much a generic Scooby creep. Or maybe zombie Elvis.


DAY SEVENTEEN: The Werewolf, from the 1970 episode from Season 2 of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Werewolf". Not to be confused with the Wolf Man from week 2. Why is this werewolf green? No idea, but I just went with it. And I kept that weird squiggle in his cheek because it's just an odd little choice. He kinda looks like Willem Dafoe, doesn't he?


DAY EIGHTEEN: Wiki Tiki, from the 2005 direct-to-video film, "Aloha, Scooby-Doo!". I've been doing the older Scooby villains, but this one was a request from my nephew. Happy birthday, Logan!


DAY NINETEEN: Zombie, from the 1969 episode from Season 1, "Which Witch is Which?". One of my favorites. And I guess he's one of everyone's favorites. I did a sketch of this guy about 2 years ago, which is what started my obsession with drawing Scooby monsters. I like this one a lot better than that old drawing.


And unfortunately, that was my last one. As a result of the the past two weeks, I'm getting an influx of freelance work. Which is great, obviously, but that combined with my birthday and Halloween coming up and prepping for CTN Expo next month (!!!), this fun little project had to be put aside. But I sure did have fun doing it! Thanks for coming along for the ride! 

INKtober: Scooby-Doo Villains Month - WEEK TWO

Continuing my INKtober redesigns of classic Scooby-Doo villains.

All of these sketches are done with blue Col-Erase pencils with quick inks using a Flair pen, and then quick digital colors in Photoshop.

DAY EIGHT: The Rambling Ghost, from the 1976 episode of The Scooby-Doo Show, "The Ghost That Sacked the Quarterback". I don't know why they gave him a pale pink football helmet, but I just made it an old-timey brown leather helmet. If I actually fleshed this out, I probably would've done a little bit of research of vintage football gear, and definitely would've messed up his teeth a little.

DAY NINE: Sea Demon, from the 1984 episode of The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries, "Scoo-Be or Not Scoo-Be?". This one was a bit of a challenge. The original design is pretty terrible, so trying to make sense of it while remaining faithful to the original concept was tricky. The ones I've done so far came together pretty easily, but I struggled a little with this guy. But overall, I feel pretty good about how he turned out.

DAY TEN: Cat-Man, from the 1978 episode from Season 3 of The Scooby-Doo Show, "Make A Beeline Away From That Feline". This one was fun because he's more like an old Marvel Comics' Defenders villain than a Scooby monster. Not sure why he's green though. Maybe he's related to He-Man's Battle Cat?


DAY ELEVEN: Cat Man, from the 1980 episode from Season 2 of Scooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo, "The Old Cat and Mouse Game". I don't remember this one, but that's probably because I didn't pay much attention to the Scrappy-Doo episodes. But I came across him when I was looking up Cat-Man for yesterday's sketch, and I kinda liked him. I think I drew him too friendly-looking though. Ah well.


DAY TWELVE: The Miner Forty-Niner, from the 1969 Season 1 episode of Scooby Doo, Where Are You!, "Mine Your Own Business". No the most interesting character to draw, but I can't possibly draw Scooby villains without including this guy!


DAY THIRTEEN: The Phantom, from the 1978 episode from Season 3 of The Scooby-Doo Show, "The Diabolical Disc Demon". One of my all-time favorite Scooby villains. This guy is obviously very inspired by KISS, and the episode had Micky Dolenz of The Monkees as a character who was a musician friend of the gang. Pretty cool stuff!


DAY FOURTEEN: The Snow Ghost, from the 1970 episode from Season 1 of Scooby Doo, Where Are You!, "That's Snow Ghost". I don't know what he's supposed to be. A yeti from outer-space? I gave him a little more shape and made him a little more ape-like and played up his weirdo eyebrows. Actually, now that I'm looking at him, he kinda looks like a white fuzzy Thanos. Ah well, hope you guys like him anyway. Threw in a quick snowy background this time, since he's an entirely white character.



And that wraps up two weeks! On to week three!

And again, if anyone is interested in buying any of these sketches, I'm selling them for $25 each. You get the inked sketch, the original blue pencil sketch, and an 8x10 printout of the color sketch. I'll also do commissions if you have a favorite Scooby villain. Email me at joeboylenyc@gmail.com!

INKtober: Scooby-Doo Villains Month - WEEK ONE

Wow, that last post was a year ago! And here I am back to my mission to draw a shit ton of Scooby monsters. That being said, I'm dedicating my INKtober to my niece Ashley. We just celebrated her being 2 years cancer-free, and has been in and out of hospitals and surgeries. She's been so strong and phenomenal throughout all of this and I'm so proud to be her uncle. Her favorite show as a kid was Scooby-Doo, so for the month of October I'll be drawing one Scooby-Doo villain every day in honor of her.

All of these sketches are done with blue Col-Erase pencils with quick inks using a Flair pen.

DAY ONE: The Ghost of Mr. Hyde from the 1970 episode of Scooby Doo, Where Are You! titled "Nowhere to Hyde".

DAY TWO: The Wolfman from the 1969 Season 1 episode of Scooby Doo, Where Are You! titled "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts".

DAY THREE: Carlotta the Gypsy also from "A Gaggle of Galloping Ghosts".

DAY FOUR: Ghost Clown from the 1969 season one episode of Scooby Doo, Where Are You! titled "Bedlam in The Big Top". Getting a little more comfortable inking with this cruddy Flair pen. And this time I had some extra time to throw in a little flat digital color. I really like the way this one came out. 

 

DAY FIVE: The Ghost of Redbeard the Pirate from the 1969 Season 1 episode of Scooby Doo, Where Are You! titled "Go Away Ghost Ship". I really like the shapes that happened in this guy. And I gave him a little bit of grit. He's a pirate, after all. Again I threw in a little flat digital color. Who decided he should have pink in his costume?? Not very intimidating.

DAY SIX: The Ghost of Dr Coffin from the 1976 episode of The Scooby-Doo Show titled "The Harum-Scarum Sanitarium". Another one of my favorites. He's kinda like Nosferatu mixed with a mad doctor. I'm going to try to throw in some quick flat colors for the rest of these. Not that this pale guy really has much color to him. 

DAY SEVEN: The Specter of Ebenezer Crabbe from the 1976 episode of The Scooby-Doo Show titled "High Rise Hair Raiser". Love this guy. He's like a glam rock vampire. Which appeals to me on so many levels. And I think I'm finally hitting my stride with these designs and inking with those pens. More to come next week...

If anyone is interested in buying any of these sketches, I'm selling them for $25 each. I'll send you the inked sketch, the original blue pencil sketch, and an 8x10 printout of the color sketch. I'll also do commissions if you have a favorite Scooby villain. Email me at joeboylenyc@gmail.com if you want 'em!

*UPDATE: The Redbeard sketch has been sold.
