Alastor RE RE-DESIGN (SpeedDraw)

[@witherslayer-7315]

Finally someone says it. I didn't like Alastor's design to begin with but now it's even worse. 😭 I still like the show but I really don't like most of the designs. Especially as a character designer myself.

[@LovesArt23]

I hate that as character designers where not aloud to give our thoughts on the design like yeah at the end of the day it dosnt matter cause its been done but im sure other ppl would benefit from what others have to say constructive criticism is helpful thanks to ppls opinions of my old alastor design I was able to fix some of my problem areas

[@witherslayer-7315]

@@LovesArt23 so true. Also because for some reason a lot of Hazbin fans want to sheild Vivzipop form any and all critsizim. The only reason why we criticize these things so passionately Is because we care about the show and want to see it flourish. We want the designs to be the best they can be.

[@yeetneet]

@@witherslayer-7315 Yeah it feels like if you're even slightly negative or critical about Viz's work, other fans get really defensive. It's really hard to enjoy being in the Hazbin fandom when it feels like I can't have any thoughts or criticism on it and that I'm "just hating on someone successful" instead of sharing my personal opinions. I want to become an animator and get better at designing my characters, so all of the constructive criticisms Viv's designs get from other artists are very valuable and helpful for me. I'm hoping that if I get around to making my own Hazbin redesigns someday, people won't take it as me trying to harass Vivzie or ""fix"" her characters. I just think it would be fun!

[@thefakemcbirdo]

its so upsetting cause charlie gave me so much hope, she's one of my favorite redesigns, due to the fact i feel like it fits her. and then i saw alastor and it's like....."are you serious?" the community has an issue of sucking up to vivzie and not saying what's wrong with the design. its crippling as an artist to have a lack of criticism. i'm a developing artist and writer, this involves character development. and these designs just make me a little upset. alastor is someone who lived in the early 1900s, which put extra emphasis on the borders of masculinity and femininity. the personality is correct i'll admit, men were taught to be gentlemanly towards women, but also semi-negligent of the people around them (as an example, Joseph Sugarman). but the design does not hit the mark in various areas, especially the over saturated *red* and his general fashion sense. and it wouldn't matter if he didn't take so much pride in his era of death, but he *DOES*. that's why i really do appreciate this redesign, it takes up that part of him. and not only that, it uses various shades of red that pleases the eye, actually uses a TIE that fits him way better in my opinion, and makes it more believable that he's an actual DEER demon due to the emphasis on certain aspects of his design which are not as clear on the original.

[@witherslayer-7315]

@@thefakemcbirdo you basically just summed up how I feel about Alastor's design. And honestly, some of the other designs have the same kind of problem. Their designs do not make sense for what their background is supposed to be nor do they look like what they are apparently inspired by. Like, I low-key though Alastor was supposed to be wolf when I first saw him lol

[@Loaves_of_Cat]

I really like Alister’s pilot design. When I look at the new one, I kept thinking the bow doesn’t look good but when you mentioned the white on the lapel, I realized that’s why I thought the bow didn’t fit. The white was drawing attention to the bow when I was enjoying his face in the pilot design.

[@LovesArt23]

Yeah the first time i actually looked at his new design my eyes went straight to his lapel and realised i shouldn't be doing that his face is whats important but my eyes kept being drawn down because if it

[@kirin1230]

​@@LovesArt23The white is honestly my only big issue with the design Everything else I can consider creative differences... But the white is terrible imo

[@BirdWord03]

Your redesign is such eye candy, and he looks much more older, wiser, and dangerous and I fucking love it. I also love how he looks more like a deer, and how you actually made use of the white from the canon design. I actually wanted to ask if I could draw him? I’ll be sure to provide credit if I ever post 💖💖💖

[@LovesArt23]

Thank you and yeah go for it all fanart is welcome 💖

[@raccoon2968]

Frrr, it’s eye candy and I love it.

[@ratsatouile]

I wish Vivzie would do her research instead of just picking a popular Native American creature. Wendigos are from the Algonquian peoples, with tribes living in the lower parts of Canada and the the Great Plains region as well as the Great Lakes region. The only thing Wendigos and Alastor would have in common is that their both cannibals and deer like. Wendigos are said to like cold regions, which doesn't make sense for his birth place or hell. Theres also the fact the Algonquian peoples did not live anywhere near the south, so Alastor being modeled after a culture he (presumably) didnt live near doesn't make the most sense. Skinwalkers are from the Navajo peoples, who lived in Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. The only thing Alastor and a Skinwalker would have in common would them both being witch like, but its again a creature that is a part of a culture Alastor never (presumably) lived near. She should've taken culture from the Choctaw who were located in Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana. In Choctaw mythology there is a creature called Kashehotapalo who is a combination of a deer and human who delighted in scaring hunters. Other cool concepts would be Hoklonote, a bad spirit taking any shape it desired, and Nalusa Chito/Impa Shilup who was a black shadow that ate souls. From Louisiana Cajun culture there is also the Rougarou, or Loup-Garou, who was a creature with the body of a man and the head of a wolf. I'm sure there would be creatures from the Louisiana Voodoo culture too.

[@LovesArt23]

Ooo see i like that better now I mostly choose skinwalker since it matched his zoophobia lore the most but yeah the location for them wouldn't make much sense for Alastor being in Louisiana to be honest there so much voodoo and Louisiana folk lore that ive missed out on I should probably research it since everything you said was super on point 👏

[@enderwalkgang]

ACTUALLY! other than a canibal, he literally has nothing on common with Wendigos. That's the problem with Vivziepop, like this her oldest chatacter, she apparently had him since middle school yet it's clear she basically REFUSES to do any research on the creature monster she based him on and claims him to be. He's that "deer" wendigo archetype, where they are basically a whole nother native American monster, but are only wendigo in name only. That other native American monster he IS is a skinwalker. Skinwalkers are former humans turned monsters for abusing voodoo, hudo and other medicine men based magick, turning white magick into black magick, basically. They can be turned into skinnies via other means, including but not limited canibalism but generally any crime to man kids very nature turns one into such a monster, usually some magick is involved. Further more, the deer motif plays a key role in this as Skinwalkers man associated nonhumans forms are a coyote and a deer, and unlike wendigos are capable of shape shifting... which is what Alastor is literally capable of doing, turning into a deer, not sure if it's still canon, but it was canon in his earlier days AND he still has those deer Features, taking on a nonhuman but humanoid deer like form. Some other details + He could be part native himself, even if not Navajo, some other tribes do infact have similar creatures, like the Ravenmocker that haunts mostly Cherokee terratory. + his lovecraftian powers motif, Lovecraft infamous wrote a story about a "wendigo" but how it acted and behaved was very much more in line with Skinwalkers, not wenidgos and vivziepop is a Lovecraftian horror fan + His voice, while a small detail personally reminds me of how people describe Skinwalkers when they mimick people's voices, "like a recording"

[@gachaleaf1551]

True. Though actually even the Wendigos aren't actual deers. They are often depicted with deer skulls, but that's kinda it. They're starving humans. Humanoids that look like giant monsters, growing with every human they devour. The deer part of them might be only taken as such since they're told to be possesed by evil spirits after decouring human flesh. Other than that there is no definitive proof Wendigos ever were in connection with deers

[@enderwalkgang]

@@gachaleaf1551 it's also a very very very very popular depiction in cult pop media. So like I'm annoyed vivzie claims to do her research, when all evidence points to watched a couple anime with the same names as demons and video games. Like it feel less and less less like her claim to have done research holds any weight

[@joeyjonquantaviusjr9927]

@@enderwalkgang she said he had “vague” wendigo themes, but said al wasn’t a wendigo. Idk why y’all assume he is one.

[@shayumiuchiha327]

I'm obsessed with this design of Alastor his skin tone looks like deer colored fur and bringing the idea of his heritage into play as well. The bones on outfit really screams thin waistline to me too as well as give off the aura you shouldn't fucked with this man.

[@LovesArt23]

Thank you and yeah ibwas hopping someone would get the skinny reference since its been a running joke that's his waist is smaller than angels 😂😂😂

[@spawnofabtch6076]

Oh my gosh he looks so cool! I'm kind of sad that the canon character designs don't lean into darker colors more, the deep reds suit Alastor beautifully. I also think replacing the white with that vanilla color was a good call. I couldn't fathom why they would include the white in his design, it was as random as it was mildly underwhelming. (I thought it was hinting a potentially angelic ties but that seems far-fetched). Plus the distribution of said vanilla color and the yellow of his teeth throughout the rest of his design scratches an itch I didn't know I had. Can't wait for the Angeldust redesign!

[@LovesArt23]

Wow you got all my thoughts down perfectly i had ment to talk more about the color choice of his shirt but felt id already over did it with color theory talk lol and yeah the white made no sense to me either just felt like they picked it cause it was the only color they where aloud to choose from since vivs main color palette is red, pink, yellow, white and dusty purple

[@OtayMorr]

Damn, I was ok with his design until watching this video. I had no idea he was POC, I had no idea he was a deer, I never noticed his horns, and I absolutely agree on the fashion and hair choices being a bit weird.

[@LovesArt23]

yeah all his character details seems to be either ignored by fans or not shown enough which is why every time i learn something about the characters i shudder at there designs since they look nothing like there described

[@amiable_monster]

​@@clinch4402I think it's more that looking at original design you wouldn't be able to tell

[@1nactive_1]

when i first saw alastor, i genuinely thought he was some sort of wolf thing. his antlers are *TOO SMALL!!!!* tysm for pointing it out 😭

[@Aristolemyheartinapril]

I've been waiting for this redesign! My issue with the last three redesigns Vivziepop has shown us has kinda been weak. With Alastor and Angeldust I could barely see the differences and was disappointed because a redesign should have noticeable differences in it. And with Vaggie's new design, I love her outfit but it's just not for her if you get me? Like her outfit in the pilot was perfectly fine, just needed some tweaks to it and you can tell what her aesthetic was plus I loved her color pallette. But now her outfit and color scheme just doesn't work for me because the pinkish-red shirt and the black skirt collides with her color pallette and honestly was a but distracting when I looked at the image.

[@legendarybubbles4567]

Yeah, I think Vaggie would’ve looked better with stuff closer to blue. Blue’s purples and pinks match her gray color much better than the red.

[@louise4152]

I don't think the new designs necessarily have to have noticeable differences in them, just that they have to basically improve on the previous ones whether it be for more technical reasons like them being easier to animate, to better suit the character and their role to the story, or even just for general aesthetic reasons.

[@wiwitutsu2175]

Her new hair style+ old outfit= perfection Tbh It reminds me of a moth

[@czyliz]

I’m not that big into Hazbin Hotel but I did follow Vivziepop back during her Zoophobia days (Pre-Hazbin Hotel) to be familiar enough with Alastor and the rest of the HH gang’s original designs and concepts. Admittedly, I was a little off put by Alastor’s hairstyle in general because it didn’t fit with the time period he originally died in. Don’t get me wrong, I still like it a lot. But I was majorly disappointed with the redesigns because they just.. don’t fit. Now going with your redesign, I love how you pointed out the accuracy when it comes to his haircut and his clothing. While yes, some might argue it’s fictional and that it didn’t have to be accurate and that the time period or era in HH is different from when the characters died from and how they can change their appearance to fit the modern and current time period; but like what Vivziepop said about Alastor loving his time period/era, he would definitely stay true to the style of his time period (clothes, hairstyle, mannerism, speech patterns, etc.) in which, his original character design lacks the most. Which therefore, also stays true to his character. I definitely love how your redesign perfectly communicates him as a character and has a lot of influences from his time period (which again, he heavily loves and stays true to), definitely kind of a ‘Show don’t Tell’ kind of redesign :) EDIT: I also absolutely love that you gave him skin-walker influences to go along with his wendigo vibe, along with the emphasised deer characteristics.

[@LovesArt23]

thank you and yeah Im a huge fan of the show don't tell I always have my friends or family tell what they think of each design and if there able to guess the characters inspiration and personality than its a huge win in my book

[@anonymous_draconic_eccentric]

This is probably one of the best redesigns I've ever seen, this has also given me inspiration for my own main Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss OCs: Echo, a Sinner Demon; and Lapis Malyss, a Hellborn Hybrid.

This is definetely my favorite alastor redesign I've seen! Honestly, as much as I adore his pilot design, I very much prefer this one. I like how his skintone is a little darker, along with how the rest of his outfit is much darker too! I also like how he acctually looks intimidating now. If I was in the Hazbin universe and I ran into alastor I would honestly think that he was just another random demon, but ur redesign would make me acctually nervous to talk to him lol ^^

[@tricksterdim]

This works WAY more than Vivziepop's- I've never really been a huge fan of her designs honestly, a lot of them seem like they were ripped from a teenager's art book and made into a show- even some of the pilot writing choices seemed that way. I throw no shade to teenagers directly, believe me, I am a very passionate one, but the characters give the vibe as if they're stuck in that era of someone's art. The designs feel very meh to me, and I personally don't really like the proportions or how there are supposed to be reasons behind the designs that feel more like an excuse or something that can barely be noticed- I'm no perfect character designer, and my characters are of a very different genre, but I can easily identify what seems very 'wrong' to me- Alas, good job on the redesign!

[@LovesArt23]

Yeah all the HH cast were created around the 2000s so they still have that vibe about them and I have noticed through the yrs viv has created characters based around songs or just stuff she likes at the time not really working on why characters look or act the way they do and yeah her anatomy can be off putting since we've all be taught to incorporate body structure into our designs

[@Birdyboys]

Ngl I always assumed Vivzie made Alastor creole because people kept criticizing her for using voodoo as “scary” symbols

[@LovesArt23]

Yeah I have a feeling that could be it as well the more I dig into everything

[@stooopendous]

She doubled down and is getting criticized for it again lmao

[@midnightjay]

I saw the pilot a long time ago and...I never knew Allister was Creol or based on a deer. I discovered your channel today and I love the redesigns. They convey so much more information without being too busy or impractical. No disrespect to the creator or the team working on the show but I really wish they'd consider you're help lol I think you'd add a lot of value to the visuals with so much thought you add to design. I say this after watching this and Solas' family redesigns. I feel like I'm learning while I watch and that I want to learn Adobe animate. Work flow looks fun and leaves wiggle room for edits.

[@flunkskunk]

ya boi coming in with the fresh trim! Now THIS is a redesign! Absolutely in love this design. I’m not really a super big fan of the original or the “rework”, but THIS.. 🤌🫀great stuff!! p.s. you probably already noticed this, but he ain’t got no glasses in the final ‘screenshot’ render. Not sure if that was intentional. But either way, still looks class!!

[@LovesArt23]

Yeah I made the edit before the final design and realised he probably should have glasses but there more for aesthetic since its never been stated if he actually needs the monicul to see if that makes sense

[@CoffeeFruits-World]

This is soo much better! Your Alastor looks so much more imposing, while maintaining that sinister whimsy he has about him. You nailed it!

[@moistwrmonastring1017]

Rewatching this series with fresh eyes and you did him so much justice! He’s gorgeous, I really wish they wouldn’t have gone so pink with him in the official design, he looks too vibrant in an already vibrant hell 😫

[@melit.]

If I’m being honest I do prefer Alastor’s pilot episode design. What can I say? I liked his hair longer. I still think this looks cool though. The tail is a nice touch.

[@LovesArt23]

Thats fine I know alot of ppl really love his OG cut i do to sometimes the undercut though drives me crazy not sure why but it does 😂😂😂

[@melit.]

@@LovesArt23 I totally get the undercut thing, there’s this anime Assassination Classroom (high recommend if you haven’t) the main character Nagisa I always thought that he would look good with an undercut, so of course I made an edit of it and I was right. Undercuts are a lot of fun not just because they look good but speaking as someone who’s gotten an undercut their also just comfortable to have. Especially if you have thick hair, it removes a lot of the bulk.

[@iheartsillycats]

One of the biggest problems with redesigns is being animation friendly… if I see ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE say that this isn’t something Viv and her team could do I will be suing. The design is so, ✨MWA✨ and there aren’t too many small details. Not to mention the Addict music video animated each of Cherri’s tattoos just fine, I’m sure they could handle something like this

[@LovesArt23]

[@FalseFields]

I really love your redesign. I think my biggest gripe always with Alastair’s official designs is that without context, I would never have read 1930s from him, which wouldn’t be a problem if it wasn’t a big part of his character. There is just design elements like the monocle and hair that just seem out of place to me. Your design just more clearly expressed the time period thing that is going on with the characters.

[@crazygamer_1082]

FINALLY! Thank you for drawing Alastor with him being black in mind! Literally nobody ever includes that when they redesign him they always leave it out! Especially since we know him being black/African ancestry is really important to him since he mentions his culture’s food and even uses voodoo as his main specialty. I adore this redesign and can’t wait to see the others! Again thanks so much for including him being black that means a lot to me as a black person lol. ❤️

[@AliT0m3r]

Alot of people say he's native American, but I don't really know, He might be African but I'm native American and I'm white, but we all come in different shades, shapes, and sizes.

[@joosoo]

I had no idea he was black until it was mentioned in the video.

[@blackchickiedee7]

Thank you! The microaggressions I see pertaining Alastor is concerning but yet not surprising. I've seen comments like "I don't see Alastor being black" or "He's not black, he's mixed" like huh!? What year am I in? Lol😅 and the only time I see Alastor with darker skin is when he gets paired/shipped with someone's OC who is presumably white or has pale skin... hmmmm... maybe I'm reaching but like how come you drew Alastor to be black but didn't give him a black partner...??? Especially with the time period he's from. I mean, I understand that relationships probably weren't on Alastor's mind since he was a murderous cannibal but still... I don't know that's a whole different topic to get into...

[@llamaish5507]

Holy cow, I never knew I needed Alastor with bigger antlers and HOOF SHOES in my life! And I love making his teeth and iris the same color. I think someone else already pointed it out, but that could work really well for a shot of him in the dark - or something of the sort - because the iris and teeth would stand out together. That sort of thing, and honestly this design in general, lends very well to him being intimidating. I think the only thing k i n d a bugging me is that the bottom of his hair is tangenting with his jaw (and the top of his neck in the edit) and making them blend together into one mass, but to be honest, that’s a really minor gripe.

[@krismoon3901]

Thank you! I love this redesign so friggin' much because well... Alastor's original/reboot design just felt more like Hollywood producers or whoever trying much too hard to emulate a certain time period and just failing miserably.... Nothing against Vivzie either, it's just... Yeah...

[@wutizgoin5431]

The inspiration for the character seems so confused. If Vivziepop was trying to evoke Wendigo themes and imagery, as well as the cannibalism backstory element, why have him be a Creole from Louisiana who has an interest in Voodoo? Those are very different folklores and cultures, and it seems bizarre to blend them in such a way. If you want to keep the Louisiana influence, why not instead model him after a Rougarou/ Loup Garou? It’s a monster from French/Cajun folklore that would still allow for the gory and hunger based elements of his backstory, while also making him actually tie into his heritage. At the very least, the Emo black and red hair cut should’ve never even made it into the pilot.

[@nuevaneona7615]

Tbh i like your design better than Vivzie's Its more appealing and makes more sense IMO, i would have loved it if the canon Alastor looked like this and not the red pink mess he is 😭 And the yellow eyes do look way better and stand out more, i just noticed that, i absolutely love that detail

I'm sure everyone here cares so much about the show that's why they're disappointed at such a wasted opportunity to improve the aesthetic. I think that Alastor was done the worst between the characters. Charlie's redesign was actually really good, and angel dust already had a good design but Alastor really really needed major changes and nothing happened.

[@thelemoncoffee]

as a furry, i'm severely disappointed in the serious lack of animal features on these characters that are suppose to be based on animals

EMO KAREN CUT STOP THATS HILARIPUS 😭

[@_Yeeboi_]

Omg, im glad theres mrow people tlaking about how the white is just off putting, it doesnt fit the color scheme atall, its like viv just randomly splash it there without thinking. And like you said its like my eyes keep on being drawn to the middle and its annoying 💀

[@wahoo8683]

FINALLY!!! You have no Idea, I've been waiting for this and your Is alot better compared to this so-called "Redesign". A friend I know wanted to make Alastor's redesign kinda like a mix between William Afton's Springtrap with King Dice's suit (Or Pinstripe) to match the "half demon half radio" persona or a regular cyborg-ex kind of deal.

[@NoahVoxwasHere]

I wonder if all of the characters getting that, like, hot pink/brighter pinky-red tone, is to match one another? Because they are all supposed to be manning the hotel now? Because I assume we aren't going to get the introduction all over again when the show proper comes out. I'm curious if the reason everyone got that pink tone, is to match with Charlie? Which would make sense, but in a way, is also disappointing they all lose their individualism. At least in my own point of view! This redesign is so pleasing to the eye, makes me wish it was canon tbh!! Can't wait for the next redesigns!! Especially Angel.

[@LovesArt23]

I get vaggie matching since she actually works at the hotel but Alastor doesn't actually work at the hotel like hes basically aloud to live there and do whatever as long as he helps out so why they made him pink toned to match Charlie is weird to me and yeah character's should still have individualism even if they all work at the same place but so far every one shares alot of the same styles and colors vaggie was the only one who didn't blend in with the cast which was nice since shes not a very group type person

[@NoahVoxwasHere]

@@LovesArt23 I agree 100%. Alastor in the pinky tones is honestly a lot, and for me personally, it's a bit of an eyesore. Those blood reds you gave him really make him pop from the rest of the cast! Because our main cast for HH is primarily reds and red/pink tones. Even just the variety of the red/pink of Charlie's suit next to that richer blood red you did really makes it pop!

[@Marrianno]

Wow, that's one hell of a cool redesing. I honestly wish to make fanart of it,if you dont mind

[@LovesArt23]

yeah go for it

[@sparklez74]

HI!! really big fan of the darkening of the face. i think the brown compliments the red a lot more than the greyish tone of his actual design. I also think narrative-wise it subconsciously makes his face seem warmer which compliments his suave, charming personality- or draw attention to his smile idk I'm not an English major. Either way love it!!

[@PeteyBirdd]

Overall I’m fine with Alastors design but the WHITE Is just so annoying OHMYGOD why would they do thatttt AUGHHHHH-

[@bunbunchan406]

I think this is better than the original design or even the redesign because c'mon, the first thing your eyes will look at is the white. It would have been better if it was still the same lol. Your design is honestly amazing and really well thought!

[@axinitethearsonist1682]

Personally, the only redesign I liked was Charlie's. I'm not that big a fan of Alastor's redesign and I sort of hate Angel's redesign. They just, don't work.

[@evanderzufarsetiawan2511]

Love the redesign but for the skinwalker part i will avoided it because skinwalker could shapeshift, mimicking voice but wendigo they have the ability to mimc voice but not shapeshifting to my knowledge also both of these creature indigenous people/community do not share many information because not only limited to mention the name but just by thinking about it could also invite these spirit. Also skinwalker this thing involved indigenous people on the team or should been done full research for the bare minimum atleast. Alastor he doesn't have any demon lore about him online even if there info it's just very little. Alastor the demon i found he torturing human soul in hell and he love torturing them especially the bad people so in hazbin hotel how he agreed to help charlie on her hotel just to see demon fail to redeem. Take pleasure on that so little bit accurate

This is probably my favourite one of your Hazbin redesigns 🤩 I didn't like alastor's official design But yours is amazing! I wish it was the official one

Hang on... he looks good. More sophisticated, gentlemanly, handsome, murder husband vibes.

[@amieldeshazor1663]

Ur design actually feels like hes black/creole or mixed their's feels like his design came first and then they randomly decided to make him black

[@psychocat515]

I really love the design in making it more deer like and as much as I like bow the tie adds to the cross more and the antlers are more intimidating including the eyes that also is close the the mouth so when it becomes dark both his eyes and smile will glow together perfectly

[@shai17altamiranoanco77]

I love how his skin looks darker bc it blends well wih the red, my favorite prt i thw HAIR YOU DID IT SO WELL

[@candleclow4316]

FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE THAT SEE THE PROBLEM TO Please understand that I don't hate the show I love it especially hellva boss I FRICKIN love fizzarolli I love Clowns but the hazbin hotel characters designs looks bland and alastor doesn't look like he was from the 1900s I also didn't like he's hair I'm fully aware that's not how they look like back then I look it up all of them has short hair and never seems anyone has long hair in that time, thank you for pointing it out I was waiting for someone else to point it out I didn't really want to say anything because I knew in my gut the fandom will put me under the bus ○^○

[@hughjanus2066]

I like the redesign more than the original, lol.

[@manifi_art]

A big thing I found off putting was the matching. I usually relate the matchy themes to families and siblings (like Encanto for example!). Very rarely friends and acquaintances and coworkers (in Charlie and Alastor's case). > - > I love this redesign though! :D

[@Kitten__Sneezzes]

I can see why she talks about the white shallowing alastor design, when I watched hazbin hotel I could only focus on his face for a few seconds, before going to his chest, and well I didn’t want to look at al,s chest each time he’s on screen, I also love how she talks about colors, body shape and lore which really helps me make my designs better and more realistic to my characters lore.

[@bkatiy6027]

When i saw alastor for the fisrt time, i didn't like his design to much, because of the hair and the gloves. Im glad you pointed out the hair, because um it didn't fit him at all, dont get me wrong i like the hair style, just not on him. Cuz of when he was born and all, so thanks for pointing that out. And the glove design, wasn't a fan. The markings on his fingers made it look like his nail color, so i thought that his gloves were hands, and that confused me until i saw the red dots on his knuckles, they were to distracting for me and i couldn't get my eyes off them. So thank you for removing the dots and making his fingers red instead. Again wonderful design, just as amazing as all the other ones.

[@bkatiy6027]

I do have one thing i dont like about your design, if you dont wanna here it then you dont have to countine reading. (If you are.) The rib cage bone thing was kinda outta place for me, and made it a little detracting.

[@Demonarty]

Oh...my God...Alastor before was a crush for me...but with your design... He is an obsession 👏

I like the redesigns so far, I think the only problem I've had is Charlie being too red. I've really enjoyed this one of Alastor though! You did a excellent job with him! The only complaint I have is the ribs. I like the concept of them, but for me, thinking about how the animators would be animating him, I just feel like they are unnecessary on a technical level for doing animations of him. Everything else about him is fantastic! I also would love to see you do your genderbent Alastor redesign as well, your Charles one turned out wonderful!!

[@SammyRobinson62232]

I love your redesign for much. Especially when it comes to POC characters since you can tell that they’re POC. Also enjoy your art and characters design style and keep up the amazing work

[@aperson1344]

I like this design far more than either of Vivziepop's designs though especially so in comparison to the redesign for the show. This definitely fits my image of Alastor far better.

[@bunnywifalaptop3684]

I really like the yellow eyes, it makes you look more at his whole face then just his mouth

I do not have any complaints for his redesign except for the fact that his skin tone threw me off, but that's just me not being used to the darker skin tone and not seeing it much even online.

[@azortoonz]

I really don't like new designs. And tbh, I didn't liked them in pilot. They were suppose to inspired by animals. With Alastor you can kinda see it, but there is way to little of it. When i heard that he was getting a redesign, i was excited. I even saw one dude who did redesign of Al and gived him a radio head to make him live up to his name. And seeing his real redesign was a let down, i really hoped that they cloud have done something more with it. And your ver is amazing. I love darker colours and that we can see that he is a deer. I will save more of my complains to future redesings.

[@teapartytales]

i love alastor, but he needs to fix that haircut. it always bothered me that he didnt have back hair so thank you for bringing him justice.

[@llunathelynx]

i went into this video sceptical bc i LOVE alastor's design but when you started pointing out the issues with his design and especially new design i got really invested and realized that i mostly agreed with you. your redesign definitely has many parts i wish were for real even tho i don't like it more over the pilot's, you definitely had made important points and improvements!

[@LovesArt23]

yeah his pilot look still hold a special place in my heart the canon design not so much XD but happy my rant made sense lol

[@sapphiredragon5236]

Gonna be totally honest, I clicked on this video expecting to not like it. Yeah, I love your character redesigns of all the miraculous ladybug characters, but everyone knew they needed it and wanted it. But now whenever I’m going to look at his canon design I’m going to be disappointed with that. Your new redesign is amazing! Spectacular! Gorgeous! He still has that whole Alastor Energy™️ with his deviousness and imposing stance and everything, but you can see the inspired and backstory features of his more. You can see the Creole part of him. The deer features are much more obvious and fit in very nicely. The rib-cage part around his torso is great and I am in platonic love with the hair (I’ve always loved hair that had those front-waves of sorts). And the suit! Don’t get me started on the suit. Sure, at first the red-punk coloring was fine. I liked his character so much that I really didn’t care about it. But then the redesign came with the white and…oh boy. Point is, the darker red, burgundy/maroon shades fit him much better. The color scheme works more with his whole 1930s radio host demon vibes then the previous brightly colored red-pink shades and I think you should be hired as a character design artist for Helluva Boss/Hazbin Hotel. (Course that probably won’t happen, but hey, a person can dream) Also I got to do research on what skinwalkers are now I can’t wait to see your Angel Dust redesign!

[@erikahenry2495]

I like think that why Alastor dress in red is because is to blend in the hell environment as you know a hunter
