We have another piece of news this week shared by the Behind the Scoobs Instagram account, although this one isn't about Scoob! Holiday Haunt. Some very early concept art of the Hex Girls by Jim Stenstrum was posted on Instagram, which can be seen above. The art reveals an interesting detail - the Hex Girls originally had completely different names that were references to famous witch characters from television shows. Thorn was originally named Sabrina, after Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Dusk and Luna were originally named Samantha and Serena, as a reference to the name of the main character of Bewitched and her sister. In addition, Luna was originally going to have black hair instead of Thorn, while Thorn was planned to be a brunette. Despite originally having the same color hair, Dusk was originally going to have long blonde hair.
In addition, the Behind the Scoobs account also revealed some concept art from a "Young Hex Girls" spinoff from 2000 on Instagram.

These came from Jim's ebay store (https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?item=295930955090&rt=nc&_trksid=p4429486.m3561.l161211&_ssn=11dusty77).

I remember that you bought a couple of pieces from that, so I was wondering if it was from the same set! That's really interesting about Velma becoming a goth. I'm glad they didn't go that route, as I think that would have been a bit random considering we already have the Hex Girls here.

On the behindthescoobs instagram account, I found concept art for Scooby Doo and The Haunted Hotel ( Haunted High Rise) Johnny B Warlock and his motorcycle character designs.

Thanks for sharing these. Production art is fascinating, even when it's nearly unrecognizable next to the final film or the project is scrapped. The girls' early concept here seem much more mature and over the top, and I'm glad it was toned down during production. That said, the rock-and-roll / punk influence in Dusk's early design is great, and I wouldn't mind seeing some of those elements return in the girls' future appearances.

I've been loving seeing all the production art from this account lately! I agree this concept of the girls looks a little more mature, and I like their final designs better. These designs still look cool, though!

It’s amazing how since they first appeared in Witch’s Ghost, the Hex Girls became so popular!

Yeah, it is really cool how popular they've become! I can't disagree though, they're easily my favorite recurring characters in the franchise!
