REIMAGINING HAZBIN CHARACTERS (based on their lore)

[@triggerhappy5830]

Lavender forgot the most vital part about the Belgian Lucifer statue. They commissioned another sculptor to replace the existing statue and the 2nd one came out more attractive than the first 😭

[@greenapple9477]

I loved learning that SOO MUCH. So funny! What an absolute middle finger to that church! Think the 2nd sculptor was the first one's brother.

[@melodramaticdragon5826]

​@greenapple9477 Yep! The first statue, L'ange du mal, was made by Joseph Geefs. This was the one removed with the baller quote "This devil is too sublime." The second one, the one Lavender showed a picture of, is Le genie du mal, was made by Joseph's brother, Guillaume Geefs. (Ironically, it seems the brothers used the same human model.)

I like the idea that maybe Lute in this AU still doesn't think she can be harmed after harming vaggie, purely because she believes Vaggie to be "sinful" and therefore no longer protected by God, and so she believes her being ABLE to harm Vaggie means she deserves it in her eyes.

[@snappykitty6383]

Really pushes home the "What I am doing is justified" world view she sort of has in this AU

and it'd explain why she didn't immediately twig that angelic weapons can hurt angels and tell the exorcists to stop leaving their weapons everywhere- she doesn't see Vaggie as an angel, so her weapons didn't hurt an angel in her eyes

[@moondivine2288]

While in the Bible that is up for debate, I personally think the forbidden fruit doesn’t exist on Earth, in Hazbin hotel the fruit is specifically a apple. Lucifer and Charlie has used it as their symbol. And because Hazbin is going to do some creative liberties I don’t think it matters much.

[@stitchgor3]

I believe this stems from the word apple and it used to mean fruit in general!

[@nataliecoronado4206]

​@@moondivine2288 I believe before it became popular to interpret the Fruit of Knowledge as an apple, it was commonly interpreted to be a fig instead. Which makes sense, since figs are much more common in the part of the world where the abrahamic religions got started

Also I kinda find it funny how you say it’s easy to avoid misinformation, but this is literally LavenderTowne’s third attempt to redesign this series and despite all of her in-depth research she still managed to be misinformed because of the lack of cohesion and verified sources for Hazbin’s canonical lore.

2:21 As a spider enthusiast, I'd like to note that those are called chelicerae.

I agree. I've even seen other artists on their first redesigns for this show having disclaimers at the beginning, just in case. I feel like if an artist feels the need to clarify to you that their art isn't meant to hate on the show or something like that, there's most likely some issue there. Artists feeling pressured to agree with every aspect of a character design just because it's the official design can very easily limit their creativity or their art itself if it's taken too far. Which is not to say that everyone in the fandom has been pressuring artists or making them feel obligated to clarify things, but some people are. And this is also not to say that every artist feels pressured or afraid of the fandom or something, but some feel the need to be extra cautious just in case.

I think a simple solution to the 8 limb thing with Angel would be to give him 4 legs, but have two legs in each boot, so he still walks bipedally. I think having him holding 6 things is a fun sight gag, but it doesn't seem worth drawing 6 whole arms all the time. That way, there's still the fun of having multiple simultaneous expressions through his different arms, but it's more of an allusion to him being a spider, and the design doesn't even need to change that much.

She still didn't know a denizen of Hell could harm anyone from Heaven. And even then, she didn't know Angelic steel was the secret weapon against angels/Exorcists because Lute ripped Vaggie's wings off with her bare hands and without any weapons. As for Lute slashing out Vaggie's eye with an Angelic spear, I can chalk up Vaggie missing this due to being blinded by pain and by the loss of said eye. If I were Vaggie and suffered the same wounds she did, I probably wouldn't remember what weapons hurt me, especially if I were ambushed/attacked from behind like she was by Lute.

The “that bad” thing about Lucifer, is that he was COMPLETELY absent for years of her life. His desperation to be involved now is largely guilt related.

He’s great if you forget the context of him showing up out of nowhere after years of neglect and expecting to be viewed the same as before he left.

As an audience member, I feel like we’re only ever told about Lucifer’s neglect, instead of shown it.

Not evil, and I do think it could be worth to get a glimpse of her backstory. I don't think she's OCD just because she likes to clean, but the interaction with Angel at the club does point to her obsession with cleaning having deeper roots.

[@demi9441]

I personally just think she's a chaotic clean freak who is short, obsessive, and friendly. I also find her to always be doing her own thing with a love for bloodlust. The only time she needed someone was while drunk

[@noobmasterruben5167]

I never really saw Niffty as evil just more of chaotic but needs a parental figure

[@trixxart777]

Personally I really like Angel's design I personally would have given him a bit more spider elements maybe give him 4 legs to give more of that siloute but dunno if that would be too hard to animate. Also I am a massive fan of the series and I never relised his dots where supposted to be eyes since they look exactly like freckles in visis's style

[@Burmilla.]

ANGLE?

[@aliyahpulido953]

I like the addition of more clearly spider-like elements to Lav's version of Angel Dust; However male spider creatures in her universe have 2 legs and 6 arms, while females have 4 legs and 4 arms. His twin sister Molly is designed that way in early concept art and in the show (she's in Heaven.) One set of her arms is retractable like Angel's lower arms. I'm also wondering why Angel doesn't have a spider's abdomen/lower body? In "Poison" he's briefly shown wearing a fluffy white "tail" attachment that I think looks really cute and I'm not sure why he doesn't have one. Molly doesn't have one either, and you'd think that since female jumping spiders have bigger abdomens than males, she'd have something that would look adorable as a fluffy skirt. I'd also LOVE for them to have something on their body that resembles pedipalps, which are a small fuzzy set of appendages real spooders have near their mouth. Molly's bangs look like those pedipalps, so I think Angel could have a fuzzy "shirt-collar" or "choker" around his neck for his pedipalps. (Val has white fur on him that's part of his body bc it's on his wings, but looks like it's clothing because his wings look like a coat/cape when they're retracted.)

[@sixoftwelve6363]

I think Charlie’s issues with Lucifer might actually be more down to Lilith. In the flashback, it looked like she was taking Charlie away from Lucifer, so he might not have been seen as neglectful by Charlie because he’s just that kind of person, but rather because of outside forces. He also has depression which can make you want to hide away and cut people off, even when you love them.

[@erastiesa]

Its obvious in the pilot he had said hurtful things and neglected charlie on purpose even after lilith left even if hes closed off why did he go to charlie right away when she called? Why was he SO nice?? In the pilot it was obvious he had said damaging stuff to her but in the show hes so SO nice and patient w her literally the first episode he appears

i know this is a really minor detail but;; i love that you gave charlie and lucifer three horns or more and all the others have two. it js makes them feel more special as they have something in common that the other character's dont. which makes sense, as they are the king/princess of hell and they have more power than the other characters. love the colour palette as well,, it still has the red/white theme of the original hazbin hotel show but it's way easier on the eyes and has a lot of other shades instead of the bright, highly saturated red. all of ur ideas are insanely creative!! lowk i wanna see this versio of hh animated as a short or something. thx for continuing ur work despite all the backlash

2 things (preface: i greatly enjoy your work and think these redesigns are excellent) 1. Angel does have a couple scenes where, when he gets really mad or aggressive or whatever, his six freckley eyes open so you can see that they are in fact eyes 2. there's a pretty popular theory that the reason Lucifer is set up to be this awful deadbeat dad but doesn't act like it is because Lilith, Charlie's mom, forced him for some reason to not be able to see her while she was growing up. Anyways, great work as always!

[@AstronomicalJelly]

for the first one tbh it's like.... barely noticeable. i think it would be more interesting to make those eyes more visible at all times rather than the once or twice he gets really mad for 2, that is just a fan theory, it's not canon. and imo lucifer is shown to be neglectful even outside of lilith's influnce

The way your Lucifer redesign had me BREATHING HEAVILY. You made him so gorgeous and when you look at him you can just TELL that he's the king of hell. If not, then you can tell he's a very important demon who's separate from the hotel. Lucifer is my favourite character from the show, but I'm willing to admit that his design didn't really give off the vibe that he's the king of hell. You gave him just what he needed!

[@69Yolo69Yolo]

[@corvus6612]

Lucifer’s redesign is definitely my favourite (I love the dragon aspects so much - I don’t see that in a lot of modern lucifer art!! And the string-halo is heartbreaking) , but I disagree with his character notes the most. I think him being a distant father that doesn’t know how to parent, while still genuinely loving his kid, is a pretty good depiction of how children can still end up traumatised even if their parents didn’t outright abuse them. Though I do agree that the redemption premise would be more interesting if the cast had a few more blatantly “bad” characters. Hopefully we see that with Alastor next season!

[@moondivine2288]

Adam comes to mind when she talked about blatantly “bad” characters. His whole personality is Lilith’s toxic ex but, he has the material to be more complex. Eve was tricked into eating the forbidden fruit and he probably ate it too. They saw evil get into the world and kicked out of Eden. I don’t care if Valentino doesn’t get redeemed because there are some people that will never change and that topic is valid.

[@Mad_Ancient_Computer_700AD]

Slight correction: that statue isn't the one that was taken down. There was a hotter, even sexier statue that it's referring to. The one you showed in the video is the replacement (that seems sexier to us, but at least alludes to his fall)

I think it's absolutely fine if we're harsh on a product, especially if it's a product we love, because it means we care all the more. What's not ok it's going against each other and insulting each other on our own opinions! I like Hazbin hotel enough and I'm fine with most of the designs, but there are a couple I absolutely despise and I don't agree with some of the common outfit choices Viv makes with her characters! I don't like how the characters don't represent clearly how they died and the time period they're in (you showed quite clearly this even in characters I didn't know about), I don't like how half the cast has a padded formal jacket/tailcoat, a bowtie and/or a tophat, on characters that would make no sense! Like, half the cast shops from one singular shop in all of hell, they dress the same! And this necessarily implies that the silhuettes are all similar to each other! Anyway apart from this I like the show, we can hate some things and love other things, no? (edit) Oh btw I loved your designs to bits!!! You reimagined the characters fixing all the problems I had with them but they are still recognizable! You fixed wonderfully especially Lucifer, which is the ONLY character design I absolutely hate in its entirety, it's giving water, air, nothing, and you made him so compelling, filled with beautiful imagery!!!

Fun fact: The difference between a pentagram and a pentacle isn't the orientation of the symbol but rather that a pentagram is the star itself whereas the pentacle is the star inside of the circle, whether it is upside-down or rightside-up.

Oooh the Lute/angels change is so much more interesting now! Like Lute in the show knows what she is doing is bad and looks antagonistic. But this redesign now is so much more intimidating.

[@abigailkondoudis5772]

I have my own personal headcanon about Lucifer’s contradictory behavior. Mainly that 1: he has some sort of social anxiety/autism on top of his depression (there is no way in the world he is neurotypical) and 2: he’s the kind of neurodivergent who requires prompting and direct instructions in day to day life. He does care about his daughter, he just has no idea how or when to interact, on top of his lack of motivation to do anything non rubber ducky related due to the aforementioned depression.

These redesigns all look great. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 I particularly like the Angel, Lucifer, Husk, Dotty, (I think that’s her name? The bug) Vaggie, and the angel. I think that those could honestly pass into the main show perfectly. I love your other designs and how you highlighted the character design elements that were missing. I think I personally, if I was working as ViziePop’s crew I would tweak Alastor’s design not having a black suit for more color variety, and some additional “this is someone who you don’t mess with” elements… and maybe a smidge or two changes onto Charlie to make her seem more like a Hotel Host. But yeah, I love these designs, and as an AU there work amazingly. 🤩

[@Ava-zm3jf]

Ugh i LOVE Lucifer’s design here because my biggest critique on his design in the show is that it seems like an afterthought to Charlie’s design. He design to me reads “we needed Charlie’s dad” and therefore much of his character becomes “Charlie’s dad” instead of the complicated character they’re trying to portray. And your design gives homage to Charlie, but ultimately it gives him more mystery and conflict as a character that doesn’t revolve around Charlie

As a big Hazbin fan, I’m insanely embarrassed that you have to have constant disclaimers to avoid the fandom throwing a hissy fit over someone having a different opinion. I personally also have a lot of criticisms about the show, but as someone who loves over the top designs and has had issues with religion in the past, there’s still parts that really speak to me. But it is DEFINITELY not perfect and the fans need to realize that it’s okay to acknowledge that. Absolutely LOVE the designs by the way! I never really had much of an issue with Angel’s design before, but your vision is so fun and I frigging love it! And the Lucifer design with the fake wings and halo is genius! 😭.

[@pommedeter7407]

just a little thing about the "Vaggie knows that angels can ne harmed" thing. Its 100% the show's fault for not explaining things clearly, but the angels know they can be harmed by other angels, what they didn't know was that ANYONE with an angelic weapon can harm them. Thats why Vaggie was suprised to learn that the residents of hell could fight back against angels, despite having been hurt herself. But honestly i feel like things like this are things the creators wouldve wanted to be in the show but couldn't because of their time requirements, which is why the moment is so confusing in the show. This is also why a popular critique of season 1 is that it feels rushed, they didnt have the time to fully develop what they wanted to do i think

[@alexbennet4195]

If they knew that angels could harm them with angelic weapons… why on earth would they ever think they WOULDN’T be harmed by those exact same weapons if anyone else was wielding them?

[@elline6745]

​@@alexbennet4195 because in the show, there are so minimal angels who were harmed. For the longest time, everyone think angels couldn't be killed, so if one was harmed (like Vaggie), it's much more reasonable to think it's because the person who harmed them were supreme in power instead of thinking angel as a species can be harmed.

[@hoodfalse]

I wanted to wait till both parts were out before commenting on the designs, to really see the full vision. And I gotta say, I really like the final lineup. I like the diversity and I love how you pushed the more animalistic/insect features of some of the characters. I didn’t even know Nifty was supposed to have bug elements in her design My main gripe is with Husk though. I was kind of disappointed when you changed him from a cat to a wolf, because making him a "fat cat" would of been absolutely perfect for his whole gambling backstory. For those who don't know, "fat cat" is an idiom/slang term that refers to someone with extreme wealth, usually in high positions of power. This is perfect for Husk during his peak as an overlord, as he was wealthy and had loads of power. Feels like such a wasted opportunity lmao. Overall really like the designs! Alastor and Angel are probably my favorites

[@grosebud4721]

Gotta say, it's such a. Small detail but the pomegranate staff is SOOOO GOOD for the hades Persephone reference. I really like Angel, he's my favorite character, but I agree with a LOT of what you said. I didn't know he was a spider until it was like specifically mentioned or something? I still don't even remember how I found out and I was shocked. I'm glad you kept his little chest floof as that is my favorite part of his design!!!

[@sentretsparkle]

The show's take on morality was very disappointing to me. The question of "can a demon truly become good?" is interesting, but the only answer the show is comfortable with is "yes... only if they were always good to begin with!" Most of the characters the shows considered redeemable aren't even that horrible to begin with, and the characters were thought were truly horrible turn out to have always been good deep down inside. It's a very... binary look at morality. It doesn't feel like the characters change and grow, it feels like we're just told they were always like this but are now showing it.

[@xduwu4257]

The show isn't even that edgy tbh. It's 'safe' edgy, like the sort of humor where teens online joke about committing tax fraud or arsen. I enjoyed this show a lot, much more than I was expecting since I went into it expecting it to be bad as I hate helluva boss. but I think it very much shows this story and it's characters have been in her head for so long that she won't cut characters/ideas even if the show would benefit. Like maybe this is controversial but showing a character like Valentino is not a good idea when another main idea your story is trying to push is 'everyone deserve a chance at redemption!!' while directly showing us someone who would never be welcome in the hotel where 'everyone' is welcome to try redemption. but she'd never cut valentino/angel or dumb down their story because it's her OC from when she was a teenager lol. it also could have been interesting if his character was used to show Charlie yeah, some people suck and don't deserve a chance + teaching her to be more assertive since she is literally princess of hell and that seems barely relevant ever? which is totally the direction I thought that episode was going in but instead it was Charlie learning to not overstep boundaries :/

[@ixagonczi]

I mean we haven't really seen much of any actual horrible person getting redeemed. The only thing we really have seen is some goofy person who did work on it a lot. If someone is truly horrible then they probably won't care enough to try to be better anyway.

I’m mostly talking about details about the character’s pasts.

For the whole thing about how angels can't be harmed but things don't line up: I always thought that there were rankings of hurt? The average sinner can't hurt an angel with their bare hands. Angels are above them. That's why strong demons like Ars Goetia and Overlords have to be taken out with silver bullets. They can't be hurt unless by angelic steel. Vaggie was harmed by another Angel, but had no idea sinners could harm her. At least, it's implied ("But...I didn't even know that was possible" E7) I dunno. Awesome redesigns tho.
