The Scooby Doo Where are you? universe is the most consistent as well as being the series that most long-term Scooby-Doo fans are familiar with. It was my favourite TV shows as a child. this series originally aired between 1969-1970 and then again in 1978.
Some of the things I love about Scooby-Doo in this particular era are the painted textured background and grungy colour themes throughout the whole show and I have found that different episodes all seem to have their own colour themes. I am planning on finding a specific episode to look into more thoroughly to try and take elements from it and add them to my own work even if it only ends up in my sketchbook.
This particular screenshot is of The Funland Express at the Funland amusement park in episode Foul Play in Funland. I thought it was very fitting for my current project because of the obvious strong connection with the Trans-Europe Express. I really love the dark colours used throughout this episode as well as all of the different textures throughout the background against the solid colours of the train and even the style of the actual train itself, I know that is suppose to be a fun fair train but it contains lots of elements that would be on a real working train and thought it was a good place to start with my research into the 1970s.
