When Mystery Inc. got word that a pair of monsters were frightening people away from a spooky castle, that seemed like just their thing. As usual, they decided to split up to search for clues. Daphne and Velma went off to search the library. They saw a painting on the wall and though it looked out of place. Maybe there was a clue to be found in it? It was too high off the ground, so the pushed a table up against the wall to climb on. As they reached up to grab the painting, they heard a sharp crackle of electrical discharge. Before they could turn around, they were suddenly surrounded in a bright, yellow glow, filling with the feeling of a thousand volts surging through them. It lasted only a moment before the air around them exploded in a blinding flash. Then they were falling impossibly far, landing with a wet splat on the table.
Dazed and momentarily blinded, Daphne tried to ask what happened, but the only sound that emerged was a shaky croak. Velma didn't notice, too absorbed in feeling for her glasses. When she found them and put them on, she saw an absurdly large and panicky frog sitting next to her. It was wearing Daphne's scarf.
"Ribbit?" Velma asked.
With dawning horror, she realized the frog wasn't large, but normal-sized. She was smaller . . . and her hands were green and clammy. She was a frog! And the other frog? Daphne! But how? Why?
In her panic, she didn't immediately notice Daphne trying to point to something coming up behind them. She continued feeling her own slimy body in mounting despair until a shadow fell over both of them.
"Yes," said the hideous, four-armed witch. "I knew if I spread rumors about this place, you would come looking to meddle. I haven't forgotten how your friends, Shaggy and Scooby-Doo, foiled my plans all those years ago. Now, you are prisoners of Revolta, the wicked witch of the web!"
With that, two of Revolta's spare arms lashed out. Clawed hands clamped down on Daphne and Velma's squishy frog bodies. Struggle as they might, they couldn't wriggle free of her grip.
"Not to worry, little ones," Revolta cooed, "your friends will join you shortly. Then you can all make yourselves nice and cozy in the castle moat. Then nothing can stop me from taking over the world!"
Chortling with malcious glee, the wicked witch carried Daphne and Velma through a secret door to her lair in the dungeon beneath the castle.

This is a pic that's been on my "finish this, damnit!" list for many months now. I drew Daphne and Velma quite a while ago, but got stumped on Revolta. I took numerous screen-caps of her from the movie (Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School), but that's when I discovered something about her - she is never once on model. Also, good God is that movie's art direction and animation cheap. It made it super difficult to work out the specifics of what she was supposed to look like and it bothered me so much that I just decided to put the pic aside. It would have been really great if I'd come back to this in time to get it done for Halloween, but alas, it wasn't until after Thanksgiving that I was looking through my unfinished pics and found this in the works.
Thanks to some help from
cecaeliafanatic, I was able to work out a pretty good idea of what she was meant to look like and using the screenshot with the closest approximtion to that as reference, I was able to draw this.
I still modified it quite a bit, though. Her face in this shot looked absolutely terrible, with hugely oversized eyebrows, her eyes were just awful and her hands . . .
Okay, hands are hard, I know that, but these were professional artists and animators getting paid to do a job. I really don't think it's unfair to expect better. Meh. Too long after the fact to get angry about. Anyway, I cleaned up the hands as best I could, but I'm not really good at hands either, so the hand holding the wand still came out looking wrong. Fortunately, I was able to hide that by putting Daphne in front of it.
My original plan was to try and make an episode title card (which would have been way easier), but once I had done Revolta and the frogs, I just thought "Why not?" The background is half-yoinked from Neopets, though I redrew it, simplified it, and made it look more like it fit with the rest of the pic. It could probably be better done, but . . . well, considering I haven't done a real background in a long time, I guess it looks okay.

Well, I couldn't find a model sheet for her, so I guess I couldn't say she was <i>never</i> on model for sure, but every single screenshot that I took, something about her was different. Her teeth were frequently different, her eyebrows changed size constantly, and which arms were her front arms (the top or the bottom) kept switching, sometimes from one shot to the next.
But with some help, what we ended up figuring, her top arms were supposed to be the back set, her arms were SUPPOSED to be normal sized, there is a general patern to how her teeth are supposed to look (the thing is, when she turns from one direction to the next, instead of keeping it consistent, they just reverse her, so the direction of the crookedness would mirror itself depending on which direction she was facing), her eyebrows are meant to be bushy and I just took a guess at how large they are. My friend also picked up that one of her eyes was deliberately smaller than the other. I actually thought was just them screwing up the perspective, but my friend figured it was consistently smaller than it was supposed to be and must have been a deliberate choice. Though like her teeth, that would mirror itself depending on which direction she was facing. Professional animators got paid to draw this. We settled on it being the right eye, but only because that's the direction she's most often facing in the shots she's in. I'm not the least bit sure which one they meant it to be.
The smoke effect was made using a tutorial I found somewhere. I figured it was a good opportunity to practice.
