How's This Trick for a Treat?

 Happy Halloween* all! ^_^

(*Yeah, I know it's November now. Shut up. Don't pretend most of you weren't waiting until the weekend to do your ACTUAL Halloween stuff, anyway. The 31st was just for the kids.)

This was actually an image that I had the pencil work done on for quite some time. I was just waiting until now to pull the trigger on finishing it (and at time of posting, I dropped everything, including work on my latest fanfic to get it done).

You know, like any franchise that's been around forever, Scooby-Doo occasionally has to shake things up. Some of these efforts work better than others. But as I've said before, one of the smartest decisions I think they made came when the world was introduced to THICC Daphne. After all, it wasn't hard to see why. Back in the day, Daphne and Velma's roles were very clearly defined, with Daphne being the obvious eye candy while Velma was just the chubby nerd (I mean, it was 1969...what did you want?). But for going on two decades now, the fandom basically flipped the script by being pretty open with the fact that, given the option...yeah, they'd rather get their knob polished by the chubby nerd. And not only did Warner Bros. begin to take notice, but they started leaning into it. When the series, "Scooby Doo and Guess Who?" came out, it was NOT a coincidence that the animators tweaked Daphne's original design so that her body type looked more like Velma's. They knew EXACTLY what they were doing.

Which brings us to the image at hand. Here we've got Daphne partaking in a little Halloween dress-up, choosing one character that she DEFINITELY has the figure to pull off now.  Check out the color scheme and the accoutrements and you'll see what she's going for.  Personally, I think she nails it. But what do you think? As always, comments are always appreciated.  And Trick or Treat*.

(*Hey, who says the two have to be mutually exclusive) ^_^
