My god this took WAY longer than it should've. I think I hate lips now. I know the interest in dunking on 'Velma' has floated away a bit but OH WELL. I still wanted to draw my take on them! Of course with a bit of lore sprinkled on top just for youu~ Hope you all enjoy! ______________ Norville 'Shaggy' Rogers - The Keeper. An aspiring inventor that watched 'Ghost Busters' way too much as a kid. Created a way to 'keep' souls after the traumatic death of his dog. A terrifying opponent who is not above keeping your mother's soul for a week solely to make 'Yo mama' jokes. Daphne Blake - The Summoner. A young Necromancer that can summon compatible vessels for souls given to her by The Keeper, using her own bones as the catalyst. Takes 13 calcium tablets a day much to the displeasure of her local doctor. Fred Jones - The Trapper. Young Master to the infamous Jones Family. Inherited his father's passion for trapping with a tad too much fervour. Traps and binds souls to the vessels created by the Summoner in flesh and blood. Hate's changing his shirt. Velma Dinkley - The Harvester. An abomination that sucks the soul out of everything they touch.

I never expected the phrase “Oh, definitely not, I’m vegan!” to be so scary given the context. I hope these characters make some more appearances in other videos of yours, as this was thrilling!

Knowing the real velma was still able to witness what she did with the dog is SO HORRIFYING

Seeing Velma crying with a smile , acting odd and that all she wrote was "That's not me" over and over make me thinks this might be a nod to the horror movie 'GET OUT' .

Shaggy talking about Scooby was very well done. It was like he was slowly spiraling into insanity just thinking about it

A big detail thats easy to miss is that Velma isn't exactly "gone" as the other gang members claim. Whatever is inside her is controlling her body to an extent but it seems like she's still alive and concious. She started crying when the interviewer said her friends are worried about her, and she wrote on the diary "Thats not me" repeatedly so others would notice, which also confirms the *thing* inside her cannot see.

I just noticed that the whole gang looks deathly pale and corpse like, but “Velma” looks normal. I like that story telling there, like something is keeping her young and vibrant but everyone else looks like they’re getting the life sucked out of them.

Things i noticed 1. Velma is the only one that starts looking at the camera. 2. Velma starts crying when they open the journal. Possibly meaning she wants help and is hoping that they could help. 3. The tears could be about how her friends care for her 4. She states she is vegan after the comment about the dog. Possibly meaning she ate the dog. 5. She doesn't blink 6. Everyone looks tierd while she looks awake and fine. To the point where she looks creepy

The whole idea of Velma not being normal was really nicely interpreted with her staring into the camera unlike the others who would look around.

"She offered which was already wierd because she's allergic to them, man" The way he delivered that line was heartbreaking

Velma being possessed makes way more sense than her being an abusive, sociopathic monster to begin with.

"THAT'S NOT ME" over and over and over again... this hit me in the throat. imagine the sheer desperation of being possessed and the only thing you can do is write in a book while whatever possessed you is sleeping... filling the ENTIRE book top to bottom, front to back with the only thing you need people to know

Not gonna lie, your versions of them look better than the original. Like, Velma for example, her design reminds me of a sweet little girl that won't harm a fly. Actually adorable.

Love the part where Daphne explains she’s seen what mental illness is and that Velma is different. The way she says it is so foreboding. Props to the VA

I love how Velma’s got the most vibrant colours of the video, makes her feel even more out of place

I like how the message of Velma having killed Scooby Doo is both literal in their world and figurative in our world.

There was another animation which keeped the creepy atmosphere like this one, this time with scooby doo being a sentient monster, pretty freaky stuff. I love how the community has turned this shitshow of a TV show into the most anxiety inducing animations ever Edit: the animation I mentioned is called velma meets the original velma by avocado animations

Now THIS is horror. No jumpscares, emotions that feel real, characters that feel alive, it makes you sit on the edge of your seat and a plot that feels mysterious

I love how a 5 minute has more personality and writing than an entire show with budgeting

I love how they all managed to have the iconic "SB" symbol of Scooby's collar along with their own "created version" of Scooby, Shaggy has the ghost of a dog, Daphne has bones that resemble the ones of a dog, Fred has literaly a flesh dog with the Scooby colar, and Velma (most likely) ate a dog

honestly the best thing to come out of the velma show is how many people have taken to redesigning the characters in much better ways, and making the story what it was originally supposed to be. The people of youtube gotta rise up and make a webseries about this to give them justice.

This is giving "velma meets original velma" vibes and i'm loving it!

She LITERALLY fixed the whole Velma show in a 5 minute video

Was not expecting to go there with Daphne accidentally mentioning her Mom's mental illnesses- and wow this concept is cool, Velma being possessed like this makes for such an interesting story.

THIS is how the new Scooby-Doo should have been. Darker, more twisted. SERIOUS. Like there's actual weight to the stakes at hand.

"One of them mentioned a dog you had a few weekends ago." "Oh no, definitely not. I'm vegan!" This is what dark comedy should've been

Seconds in and already is better than the entire series lmao

1:03 On some real shit, this has got to be the creepiest part, aside from Velma. The way she just goes silent and stares for a moment is just fucked

I love the way you portrayed Fred. Hes not a jerk like in the Tv show. He deeply cares for Velma and even says he is in her friend group. I think thats amazing. Good work love the art and animation. I think i have watched multiple times in about two days. Keep up the good work. Love your videos.

The part were shaggy was like “it doesn’t make sense he should still be there but there’s nothing” gave me straight up chills down my whole body

The "serious adult animation" that we all actually wanted

If you did a web show of this. Just interviews of her progress or any sort I feel like it would be a bigger hit then the train wreck that is Velma. I love your designs for the interviewed and the magazine covers so much better.

Questions I would be super stoked to see the answers to: What was Daphne’s mom like in this storyline? ‘Cause all signs certainly point to a horrible experience. What kinds of things did the group gang get up to prior to the possession? I know Fred said a little bit about the whole setting up traps in haunted houses, but that’s mainly him, I would think. And they’re all in high school rather than working together as a business, so it’s more like them hanging out casually and I doubt they always were doing paranormal-related stuff. How did all of them meet even, and become such close friends? What exactly is Velma’s demon? All we know about it is that she seems to have “contracted it” (for lack of a better phrase) after the gang went looking for some cove of crystals and she went missing for a full day. What are Velma’s limitations as far as her possession? She seems to have slight control if she’s crying after the therapist brought up Scooby and her writing “That’s not me” in the journal she gave him. If, based on the posters, Shaggy has the soul of Scooby, Daphne has the bones, and Fred has the flesh, what does Velma have? Is there any significance to how Shaggy said Velma was allergic to dogs and when Velma said she was tearing up because of her “allergies playing up a bit”? Are there gonna be fight scenes? Like with Velma and/other people/demons? I’m pretty sure Shaggy had to katanas on his back and some glowing grenade-looking things. That would be SO cool. Going by the posters and the descriptions of the characters by Neytirix, is Scooby going to come back reanimated by Shaggy, Daphne, and Fred? Would that process give him the ability to talk and do some of the things he could in the original shows? God there are SO many cool ways this premise could be developed!

I love how, in a weird and creepy way, Scooby is still the main protagonist without even existing anymore. He's the reason why everyone got together to talk about Velma, and he's on a drawing with all of them. It's a really creative way to take him out, without actually taking him out.

You all knew things were serious when Norville said "Call me Shaggy."

This... is actually pretty interesting. And not just because comparatively ANYTHING is 10000x more interesting than Velma, I mean this is legit a really good concept and I'd watch this as a show. Also love the subtle hints that Velma is trapped in her own body and she's trying to warn everyone that she's possessed. From writing "that's not me" in her journal to crying. Cool ass concept.

I like the detail in the opening section that Velma is coloured more saturated than the others. Shaggy, Daphne and Fred have these dim and greyish colours like their surroundings blending them in, but Velma is coloured much more harshly and stands out much more than the others, this differentiates her from the others, implying something is wrong. There's so much more in this video and the illustrations that come with it, i'm honestly amazed by the work put into these videos. ⦿◽︎⦿

It's funny how this is the second animation I've seen that actually added some interesting lore to Velma and made me wish so badly this was cannon.

I love that each one of them has a piece of Scooby. Shaggy has his soul, Daphne has his skeleton, Freddy has his body, and Velma has.. the remains.

Bro the fact the real Velma is still conscious is a really cool fact, Velma crying and the writing saying it’s not her trying to message people

This would make a very interesting premise. When the gang went to the Crystal Cove, Velma went missing. She would be found the next day. Unknowingly to the rest of the gang, some entity from the cave has possessed Velma. Possibly causing her to go on a murder spree with Scooby being the first victim. She would later on kill other residents of the town. Fred, Shaggy and Daphne have to find a way to save Velma before things get worse.

Seeing all the characters talk about her, then her showing up all smiley creeped me tf out, like the bald guy from silence of the lambs, also very very nice

Seeing each of them contributing to Scooby. Shaggy with the soul, Daphne with the skeleton and Fred with the muscles and organs. With them saying that she’s different I like to see that Velma once could have provided the skin. The Sealer? She’s often seen as the more level heading of the group, keeping everything together? I don’t know but still, bloody amazing as always anyway.

I've rewatched this so many times now. They animated intro with great voice acting, the way the song and speedpaint are edited together, and of course, THE ART ITSELF- fantastic, I would love to see these as posters. Also gotta love the concept, I would totally watch an adult Scooby-Doo show with this kind of concept, so much better than the garbage we were given.

velma saying she's vegan in response to having a dog is funnier than all of the jokes in the show

I like that,when velma says "completely fine" her eyes move's a bit, indicating that,in somewhere, velma is still here, giving us signs of the lies of the creature.

They could genuinely make a great adult horror story using Scooby-Doo characters. Not every villian in the Scooby-Doo universe is just some clown in a mask. Actual ghosts and demons canonically exist in the verse and the Mystery gang has even encountered them. The show could literally start with this premise that Velma encountered a spirit/demon who was too tough to defeat and just straight up possessed her.

I love how the gang (besides Velma) is using an aspect of Scooby Doo. Shaggy was his heart and soul so it makes sense (to me at least) that he would keep Scooby-Doos soul. Fred is a mastermind with traps so using the flesh of a dead animal would be perfect (and I hope shaggy doesn't mind since he has his soul). Daphne being a ( I want to say) necromancer and using Scoobys bones is fitting since she is supposed to be both caring and fierce. Like a rose. Beautiful but dangerous to touch. And Velma well she is the monster.

You see, THIS is the kinda spin the series needed, the way you portray the characters and little quirks or nicknames, it leaves its own story interpretation to be held, its a billion times better than what was regurgitated by Mindy.

you literally created a more compelling story in under 3 minutes than the entirety of "Velma." If they wanted to elevate scooby-doo to an adult audience, what you did there would have been a MUCH better way to do it. Kudos

Norville’s voice is perfect

Wow this is much more interesting than the actual show

Let's be honest, when Velma said "i'm vegan!" The line truly gave me chills to the bones.

Each of them having a aspect of scooby honestly fits. *Shaggy* the one who always bumps Heads with the supernatural first, the closest to him, has his spirit *Daphne* the one who completes the group, who is always there to find the keys to solving the mystery, has his skeleton *Fred* the one who always makes the plan, the one who carried them to victory, has his muscles *Velma* the one who always figures out the truth, the one who always makes sense of the mysterious, -has his skin-

Bruh Neytirix made Velma look prettier than she actually looks in the original cartoon 💀

What happened to the real Velma is she trapped inside of her mind and what is actually talking if not velma

Two things : 1) Its great how you implemented fact that "new Velma" is just impostor pretending to be her, and explained why theres no Scooby anymore. 2) Face animations are fantastic. So slight changes cause faces to show such diverse emotions.

I feel like the bright side of this situation is that Velma knows that she’s possessed. And even so, she can still take enough control of her body to write that message and put it in the envelope and give it to the investigator.

WHY DID YOU DO THIS?? THIS INTEREST ME EVEN MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL SCOOBY DOO. Now I'm here craving for it. Different race and color or not, THEIR DESIGNS ROCK! I especially love Shaggy. With that cigarette and uniform he looks so cool! Daphne's pointy eyes goes super hard with her uniform! Fred's traps looks very scary in this version, wow. The world they live in actually having suparnatural things like soul catching, necromancy, the ability to create blood and flesh... Not to mention the "weird" Velma still being part of the team... IT'S SO INTERSTING, IT'S NOT FAIR! I DEMAND AN ACTUAL SHOW OUT OF THIS! Please... :(

You should totally do a Fanfiction Story of this .

Imagine a horror type Scooby-Doo series that actually acknowledges the source material

The skit at the beginning was a hundred times better than the actual show and as always the artwork is absolutely fucking incredible!

my god, the detail of everything is so good and the music suits this theme extremely well. well done sir, well done

Taking a tag about the show and turning it into a terrifying short film is actually so smart, dude, oh em gee

She made the characters look fire, she changed the plot, and she kept their designs. This is a show I would 100% watch.

Proof that the characters Mindy DESIGNED are still useable. Just not the horrible show writing.

You are definitely one of the coolest artists to ever exist.

Regarding the ending artwork it's an interesting theme going on with each person having a piece of Scooby. Shaggy = Spirit/Soul Daphne = Bones Fred = Muscle/Flesh Velma = Everything Else/Skin/Mind/???

Honestly the creepiest part of this that gives it a good horror factor is that all of Velma's friends are distressed. Each looking like and sounding like they are the breaking point or completely given up. Yet all of their distress is because of Velma, then when we finally see her, she seems the most stable till you hear the off handed "no I'm vegan" then the notebook. It would be a good story to explore, where no one believes them because Velma's false persona points to her being the normal one and them being the crazy ones, combine that with the fact no one is going to believe supernatural events.

Neytrix is so unbelievably good at writing horror, it’s truly stunning, turning a show everyone hated into something actually truly enjoyable

Avocado's Scooby vs. Neytirix' Velma needs to happen.

Dayum, they should have hired you instead of that Mindy Fraud.

Love that everyone is jumping on the "Velma as a Horror" track. Its just so good and at least getting something out of that show.

God this was impressive. You took Garbage and turned it into an actually tragic horror “That’s Not Me” scared me and broke my heart.

This is my headcanon. They're lying, bending the truth to make it coherent ("Scooby" being eaten being one of them). They found a way to summon demons and accidently dug a hole too deep for them to fill, the demons scattering all over the state. An especially powerful one possessed Velma and promised it would return their friend alive and mostly unspoilt under one condition. Clean up the mess they made.

The fact that "Dog" is at the end of the URL makes this a bit better

I love how each member of the gang has a part of Scoob but also have his name tag, Daphne with the bones, Fred with the flesh, Shaggy with the soul, and Velma with *anything that was left*

The real Velma trying to communicate through the journal and get out of whatever the hell she’s in, is so sad. I love this so much, it’s like she’s trapped in her own body and can only cry. Gosh, it’s so perfect. The art style, the colors, the lip syncing, the frames, how we see it, the art at the end. GOSH. This is literally perfect.

Anyone see the video where Scooby-Doo is a cosmic entity that keeps trying to remake the gang but Velma is always the one the becomes aware that something is wrong with Scooby-Doo? Love it!

Watched this when it was new. Not surprised the algorithm steered me back to it due to Season 2 (really, the last half of Season 1) of Velma having finally released. Still loving this.

Better voice acting than ANYTHING in the entire show. Seriously, high quality.

I think the one good thing to come out of 'Velma' are the amazing art pieces like this completely reconceptualizing it into something horrific and amazing.

Ok... We need this. We want this. We LOVE this. Take notes Mindy!

When Fred talked about losing Velma in a cove full of crystals (keep in mind I managed to avoid watching Velma) lemme just point out there was an episode from Be Cool where they lost her in a cave of crystals and she went crazy

I know this is supposed to be a deep,philosophical,sad animation but I love you for bringing Fred's ascot back

The way she tears up indicates two things: 1) Velma is still in there trying to fight off the monster from invading her mind and taking over her body, once she heard that the others deeply cared for her, she was heartbroken and moved into tears 2)Shaggy mentions that she’s allergic to dogs, when velma responded to the interviewer about a dog she had, she responds in a way which implies she ate the dog by thinking the interviewer meant if she ate a dog, And when she’s tearing up and says its her allergies, It could very likely be that she’s still eating scooby’s corpse

In Less than 30 seconds you made her more compeling and empathetic then the whole of her show.

0:53 woah i have DID and its so weird seeing it out randomly idk

Can we keep this trend of Velma turning into a horror series

I love that "Velma" has her gaze fixed to the front at all times but two: When she hands the notebook, and when she says she is ok

THIS I s a series I’d actually watch Like it’d probably scare the shit outta me, but I’d watch it

But wait, what happened? Come on I’m enthralled, with just this small bit of lore and I need to know more! Amazing job and I really hope we see these characters again.

And just like that, an actually dark, mature, and scary version of the Velma show was born - I'd love to see this in a fully fledged story as all of the crew eventually become monsters but try to keep close to their humanity - each time velma getting further away

this is ten million times better than the actual show so far

Please make this into a series on this platform I need it!

This. This is what i was hoping the new show would be like. I mean, they said "adult Scooby Doo" and didn't deliver.

THIS should have been the show. Dead ass this is so cool. Everything, down to the pacing and dialog. It’s truly haunting and beautiful.

i like how turning velma into an anxiety inducing existential horror short has been a trend lately

Fred is straight up trapper from DBD

If the music wasn’t so intense there it might not be been scary or off putting. That really shows you how important mood is.
