Description
"R'oh - r'oh!" The dog whined.
"It's not quite what I expected when we set out to find the Great Pumpkin, Scooby, but I'm sure it's just a harmless vegetable despite the hideous, threatening appearance," the girl said. She evidently was not aware of the creaking branch like arms, one moving to grab her from behind.
Molly's art notes: Set up and rendered in Poser 13.1.518 using the Superfly Cycles X rendering engine with a bit of post work in Superfly and also in Photoshop. Velma is based on V4, Scooby on the Poser 8 dog, and the great pumpkin is by Summoner. This is another one that I entered in the Halloween Contest.
This is a remake of an older image. I just loaded the old file and did a bit of texture tweaking, simplified the lighting and rerendered. The older image was rendered in 2017 using Poser 11 Pro and the Firefly rendering engine. The older image is included for comparison.
This is fan art, Hannah-Barbera Productions owns the characters Scooby Doo and Velma Dinckley. I gain nothing except the joy of creating a fun homage.

ein sehr schöner Render
Vielen Dank für deine netten Worte, Paulie!

Like zoinks! I'll never look at a pumpkin pie the same again. Yes the updated Superfly version looks great with better shadow, contrast, and color saturation. I wish we had a better Scooby Doo model to play with in Poser.
Thanks for the encouragement, my dear. The Poser 8 dog is a pretty poor substitute for Scoobs but I thought I'd just take what I had in the image from 2017 when I first rendered it. I bet there's a better doggie out there somewhere. XD
Molly
Splendid!
Thank you! The original image was fun and I thought it would be great fun to try to update it to my improved capability. It goes to show that legacy content renders pretty well with very little tweaking! =)
Molly
Fabulous! Great lighting.
Thank you, my dear! The interesting thing from my viewpoint is that the lighting set up for the contemporary rendering is much simpler than what I used in the 2017 original. XD
Molly
Beautiful pictures!! And what a nice improvement in the most recent one!!
Thank you! The first one was rendered in 2017. I hope I can continue to improve my skills. It's always a pleasure to hear from you! <3
Molly
sure looks like Velma fro the Scooby-Doo days. Happy Belated Halloween.
Thanks, Steve. I got Velma down pretty well, but Scooby? Not so much. XD Hope you had a Happy Halloween as well! =)
Molly
Belle image, En voilà une belle citrouille horrifique. Très beau rendu et lumière, il y vraiment une gross différence entre les deux images.
Merci pour vos gentils mots, Roger. Je suis heureux que vous constatiez une amélioration entre l'image de 2017 et celle que j'ai présentée ici. <3
Molly
Well, Jiggies!! That would certainly add a bit of irregular heart-beat to one's Halloween activities! It's payback for that wonderful pumpkin pie you had after dinner...
Wonderful work on this, Molly! Velma looks great. Getting a good likeness is not all that easy to do, but you nailed it!
Thanks, Rod! I'm very pleased with Velma but Scooby Do? Not so much. Truthfully I just wanted a dog that wasn't too unlike Scooby but I'd like to try to get a better approximation someday. Then's there's the rest of the gang... XD
Molly
P.S. I think it's "Jinkies"! =P
Good remake, very cool! The new one seems much scarier to me!
Oooh! Thank you for the validation that the remake works better (especially on the level of being a bit scary!). =)
Might have solved the mystery of what happened to Linus. Fantastic Halloween image and you did a great job on your design of Velma. Definitely love what you did for the angle and lighting in the updated version.
Thanks! It's a relief to know that the updated version looks better to someone other than me! XD I really spent some time on Velma. Now... if I could only do as well with Scooby and the other characters. =)
Molly
Adorable. Velma looks greeat -close to canon as possible with a great expression. Scooby is a little hard to see. i put him on the desktopp to pick up the details. Don't know how you might have changed that as adding a lighrt behind him (closer to camera) would have lessened or conflicted with the light from Velma's flashlight and0or the pumpkin.
Thanks, JD. I'm very pleased with Velma but Scooby... eh... not so much. XD I think if I'd gone further with retexturing or chosen another dog model that was closer to Scooby Do's light brown coloration he would have worked out a lot better. Maybe when I take another crack at it 5 or 6 years further on (first effort is from 6 years ago). =)
Molly
Velma is a little clueless. She looks great. Good spooky lighting with the flashlight. That pumpkin looks evil!
Heh. Yeah, that pumpkin is GREAT. I have a mind to make one with Velma looking for her glasses (I seem to remember that was a periodic plot device to have her drop or lose them and wind up on her hands and knees looking for them while being threatened by a monster or ghost). =)
Maybe next year... ;-)
Molly
The scene has held up well. Six years ago I'd never heard of 3-d rendering beyond game developent. Keep it up, Mollz.
