The Velma design is pretty much okay but once again there are things about it that bug me. I took a pass at altering it to fit my perception of the character but I'm not certain my version is any improvement. I made her eyes a little smaller, raised the topline of the glasses a bit, subtly rounded her face and did a little tidy on the hair beside her face.
Original on the left, mine on the right. Better? Worse?
The Fred design is another story all together. I doubt that anyone would look at the design without context and say "That's Fred from Scooby-Doo." He looks like a generic cgi character from an insurance commercial. No personality, not a bit of him saved from the original animated design except for him being blonde, square jawed and a half hearted nod to his original colour scheme.
While mine isn't a huge improvement, it at least looks a bit like the character. Personally I'd scrap this design and go back to the drawing board. Awful.
I flipped the image because Fred's part is on the left (his right) (sidenote: I always assume guys that part on the right are left handed), lowered the hairline, gave him cheeks and a more rounded face while keeping that square jaw. I also gave him a full on orange tee shirt. I figure if you are going to replace something like Fred's iconic ascot, don't try to be subtle about the change.
Again, original on the left, mine on the right.
If I was this poorly animated, I'd give myself side-eye too.

I would say both of yours are clearly an improvement from the actual designs. Clearly you should be the one designing these and not WB haha!
