I felt like trying to do a bunch of chibi re-designs of my favorite shows/characters, and I started with the Scooby Gang! Keep in mind this isn’t exactly the “style” I’d prefer them in (something a little closer to the classic, but with my own spin), this is just a cute and simple style I use when I want to get an idea for basic body-types, hair, and outfits.

I drew Velma first because I’ve always wanted to update her outfit as sort of a sleeveless sweater-dress kind of thing. I gave her red shorts instead of a skirt, and I think it somehow made her look more sporty but still cute. Some orange high-tops sort of bring it together. I wanted her hair to have something like a flapper-girl style, and I kept classic style square glasses because she works them (and still can’t see without them). She’s still the “smart one”, but she doesn’t know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING; history, science and chemistry, literature, and math are what she excels at. She also has a near photographic memory, and although she understands a lot about technology she isn’t too great with machines. Velma is easily the most adorable~ (oh, and head-cannon ethnicity; she’s Jewish/Japanese/Mexican. she celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas, as does Shaggy)

I knew I wanted Daphne to look really fashionable… which was hard, because I know NOTHING of fashion. I gave her sort of a purple halter top that is also like a short dress with a leg-cut on one side. She almost never has pants in her main outfit, but I think it gives her a fun and stylish look. I moved her green scarf up to her hair, and gave her matching green earrings. I like the idea that because she’s a little clumsy (Danger-Prone-Daphne) she’s taken lots of athletic lessons to try and make up for it; she’s done ballet, gymnastics, Karate, boxing, archery, played different sports like soccer/basketball/baseball/tennis, swimming lessons, and equestrian classes. Basically, when she’s in “alert-mode”, she could probably handle just about anything… but when she’s not paying attention she tends to trip. Daphne can speak several languages fluently, she’s got perfect pitch, is super sensitive to textures so she can recognize any material, and has a gift for being very charming and intuitive. Definitely not a damsel in distress~ (head-cannon ethnicity; she’s part Iranian on her dad’s side)

I always wanted to give Fred a blue jacket. I don’t know, I just think it suits him. He’s also got light-blue jeans, and a white long-sleeve shirt (with a red collar to replace the ascot hahaha). He’s kind of the most “formally” dressed, but also sort of a relaxed look. I always figured he was a boot-camp kid, and also a little bit of a farm-boy (hence the belt and work boots). He’s all about cars and other machines, a real Mr Fix-It, and he loves taking stuff apart to see how it works. As a result he’s pretty good at his other hobby besides mechanics… TRAPS. Fred also practices being an escape artist, so if he ever gets caught he’ll be able to get out of almost anything. Although he’s certainly not “stupid”, he has a tendency to be a bit oblivious and a little too headstrong. He’s got a heart if gold though~ (nothing to do with ethnicity, but a head-cannon for his family life; Fred’s parents went missing around when he was in middle school, and so he’s had a few different foster families. he doesn’t get reunited with his folks until after high school)

Shaggy doesn’t need much changing (if I altered too much, he just wouldn’t look like Shaggy anymore). I have him a white long-sleeved shirt under his classic green one, changed his brown pants into cargos (all loose fitting, Shaggy likes it baggy), and gave him some black sneakers. He’s naturally still got long hair and a scruffy chin (plus some sideburns). Even though he’s a well known scardey-cat, Shaggy has a deep love for horror movies and fictional spooky stuff doesn’t seem to bother him. His various fears and phobias have actually made him a safety expert; not only does he usually carry a back-pack with a fully stocked first aid kit, he knows how rescue somebody who is drowning, all the safety procedures for different vehicles/aircraft, CPR, and survival tactics (he actually knows more medical facts than Velma). Despite being so thin and lanky, he is almost always eating, sometimes thinking with his stomach rather than his head. He’s always happy to share though, and he even cooks great meals for his friends~ (head-cannon ethnicity; Shaggy is Canadian First Nations and Jewish on his mother’s side, and celebrates Hanukkah and Christmas like Velma)
Scooby was maybe the most difficult to draw… he’s so iconic, and I wasn’t sure how to draw him in this style by still make him look like Scooby. I’m not sure if I succeeded, but I think the result isn’t too bad. Shaggy found Scoob as a pup, and they have been best friends ever since. Like Shaggy, Scooby loves to eat and hates to be afraid, but he’s only a coward when something threatens him; if a monster or villain is going to hurt one of the kids, Scooby always comes to their defense. People forget what he’s actually a very big strong dog because he’s usually so gentle and silly. Scoob knows all sorts of trick from the typical “sit/roll-over/shake” to more impressive stunts. Although he loves attention and praise, the best way to get him to do anything is to bribe him with a Scooby Snack! He’s a very smart animal, even more so than some humans, and the fact that he can communicate when he smells or hears something suspicious that people might miss is a real asset for solving mysteries. Like any good dog, Scoob is loyal and lovable~ (head-cannon; some animals can just talk like people in this world. it is just a thing. Scooby isn’t the only one who can do it, but it is still pretty rare and impressive)
OK, enough from me, enjoy~
