"Now that I've watched the entire show instrad of just three episodes, I actually have more issues with the designs of the characters in the show" took me out I cackled so loud
Honestly, same.

(I’m from a multi-person account so we’ve agreed to put our names at the end of everything^^)
BASED
that was me aswell when I watched the show out of morbid curiosity cuz I saw redesigns/rewrites and my friends making fun of it XD
I actually only disliked her first designs because they didnt look to well (specifically angel, i didnt mind the rest)
But these look amazing (❁´◡`❁)
@@W1ld_K9s hey feel free not to listen to this, but unless you're commenting under a video where you're sure the person will see it/knows you personally, specifying your name everytime will confuse people because they don't know who you are nor that there are other people, so might as well comment normally unless the person knows you ^^
In the original pilot, Vaggie was quick to anger and explode but due to people pointing out it could be a stereotype it was removed in the final show. I wish they did something else with her personality in the final show :))
Stereotype of what?
@@Rexog90 likely "mean lesbian" stereotype im assuming
As a Latina I can tell you I found nothing offensive about Vaggie in the pilot. The people who were complaining about her back then were just hypersensitive people who weren't even Latino thinking they could speak for us. I found that whole "controversy" SO incredibly stupid. Latinos can have tempers just as much as any other person in the world, people are people after all. Some members of my family can have tempers I can tell you that. I wish that they had kept Vaggie's temper honestly. It would have been a good character flaw for her to work through, which could have led to some good character development. And now with the reveal that she's a fallen angel, she's apparently not even Salvadoran anymore which I found so disappointing.
@@hellishlycute wasn't it the stereotypebof the angry Latina woman?
@@priscillapineda3204also Vaggie didn’t have a temper, she was legitimately angry for a reason (angel dust ruining the rep of the hotel, the radio demon making unwanted changes to the hotel, Alastor being untrustworthy in general, etc.) but when it’s a POC it’s a temper
edit: WHERE DID ALL THESE LIKES COME FROM?!?!
Someone getting mad at her for putting horns on her redesign and using their headcanon as their reasoning is so lame 💀💀
It was ayy lmao too 😭
@@Actualbowlofsoup bru wtf 🧑🦲
Yeah honestly nothing to get mad about.
I personally didn't see the point of making horns part of her everyday look, considering that she probably wants to come off as approachable/friendly as possible, so I think it makes sense she's not constantly in demon mode. Similar to Stolas, yknow?
But like, no biggie. If someone wants the demon-ness to be more visible, who gives a fuck! Still cute, and it makes the artist happy, which is what really matters
@@howaboutno.01 plus demon horns in the shape of a crown goes so hard
@@Actualbowlofsoup Honestly YEAH
She spitting facts in this episode. People actually get mad if you criticize the show- like they act like you killed their family or something
I actually love the show dont get the wrong but some people need to chill 😅
@@SewerRat_baddiedefinitely some of the die hard fans can be very hostile and reactionary but so can the haters tbh (speaking from experience here btw anti hazbin tumblr is crazy they will literally latch onto the smallest details when they run out of valid points lol)
@@SewerRat_baddie definitely. I love the show too and I think both, the fans and the haters (not counting Lavender as one, she was and still is very respectful over it) need to just chill... Hazbin isn't the next Avatar but also not the next Velma...
@@rozinq1351 definitely, I must say, despite being one of the more chill fans who has their own criticism like many characters having the same body types or the rushed pacing, all the hate def made me more defensive over the show than I should be 😅
Tho it's getting better now that the major hate-wave is over.
yeah like. I can get being upset if you're just minding your business enjoying something and somebody walks up to you to tell you that the thing you like is bad and here's 50 reasons why, but it's another situation entirely to bully someone for offering constructive criticism and redesigning characters for fun
The way Alastor is canonically scared/hates dogs and she made Husk a dog is so funny and ironic to me, I love it 😂
And also him being a hellhound fits canonically with the show lmao
That means it will probably harder for Husk to be owned by Alastor because Alastor hates dogs
@@GoobyGoober-ho1lsHellhounds are hellborn, Husk is a sinner.
That might actually be interesting if incorporated into their characters...
Alastor owning the a soul of a doglike demon, being particularly domineering and aggressive towards them to make feel more powerful over something he fears. I think Alastor who is power-hungry that he engages in petty rivalry and is insecure when reminded he is also under someone's control. People like that despise the parts of themself they perceive as weak.
With that in mind i would have loved to see more or Alastor and Husk interactions and having Husk be a dog would be relevant to their dynamic. like, what do you guys think.
[correction: Al being canonically *afraid* of dogs might be that... he actually just dislikes them. i thought the fear thing had been a well established tid-bit in the fandom. WHOOPSIES]
I agree that would definitely add more dynamics to there relationship/characters @@fartinfpooping8801
Genuinely could not see Alastor's antlers until she pointed them out, they're so hard to spot if you don't know they're there
💯
For real, I keel forgetting he even HAS antlers or his Monacle until i had to look up his reference sheet
For real, I feel like if you want a deer demon you should then actually embrace the antlers and make them big and menacing, something that looks like you could be impaled upon them Hannibal style
I thought he was a wolf at first until a hazbin fan bashed and harrased me for getting it wrong lmao
You can see them on his shadow more so when he gets angry
Husk being a dog/wolf and having that powerful looking jaw makes him look more intimidating which is fitting for his previous overload status. Also adds a sense of irony considering Alastor hates dogs. Your artwork is great!
Powerful jaw? There is no jawline bro. Thats the weakest jawline there is.
@@jambinchamp a canine's jaw is different than a looksmaxxer's jaw, bro... "weak" or strong depends on the bite force
i completely agree with the body type critique!! i think changing their body types from super skinny to resemble their personalities better (like vaggie having such a strong physique instead of a teeny waist) i honestly loved this video and the character redesigns as a fan of the show :)
right it seems lazy and so so so repetitive
@@user-ayiy824jbdit’s likely just an art style choice by Vivienne. It’s completely fine to not draw certain body types as long as you’re not purposefully insulting said body types.
@@AveryVinn i understand its a choice and i honestly am not talking abt different body type representation. im talking about how its lazy. she draws one body for every character and slaps a slightly different head on them. its like how same face syndrome hinders your capabilities and is just lazy if youre a professional.
vaggies body type is like that bc adam only picked women that r his type
@AverageArtistAve thing is, these designs aren't her own 2013 ocs anymore, Hazbin is now a mainstream show supported by the likes of Amazon. Viv kinda has a duty as a professional creator to widen her designs to represent different types of people since her show is a product that's meant to be viewed by general audiences.
You can see how worried she is in this one.
God, toxicity of the internet makes my blood boil sometimes
right? its like you cant criticize certain things even if you mean well. constructive criticism does not equal hate.
Don't get me started. Lol
Fans of the show seem to think that valid criticisms are also personal attacks on them. Though I agree with a lot of the points, I feel like I'd love the show as I already do with Helluva Boss.
yikes yeah fr
If you're a fan of the show, I recommend you watch Ayy Lmao's video on this situation... He approached it very well
Lavender being honest about Alastors hair got me cackling.😭
his fuckass Bob 😭
I almost started laughing when she showed the comparison to his ears I mean she's not wrong like where are you gonna see a man in the 1930's wearing red hair
@khaliyahjefferson832 maybe he a red head
@@airacummins5076 having ginger hair ≠ having a cartoonishly high chroma red unnatural hair color a scene queen would yearn for
@brayermoth well I have a cousin with dark red hair that doesn't look natural at all so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I saw controversy about lavendertowne and was like "what?? They are like the most unproblematic person" then I saw it was from the hazbin hotel fan base and haters 😭. Sorry you got so much criticism and I’m glad you spotlighted the artist that had their work stolen cuz I didn’t even know that! Anyway I always love your designs including these can’t wait to see what you do next!
Also this might be a bit of a task but have you ever thought about doing a based off the book design of danmei/baihe novels like heaven officials blessing? I feel like with those all have so many adaptations but being hindered by censorship there’s a lot missing from the original novels in the designs we see and I would love to see what you come up with! (Though heaven officials blessing is literally longer then the Bible so 😭)
@@Lee-ek7vnomg that would be interesting
The mentions of the wiki and all the obscure fan-canon is one of the glaring holes in the show. With such a large cast but so few episodes we get very little about any of the characters, even the main ones.
also the fact that half the info the fandom likes to spread and treat as common knowledge are from old tweets or random streams from years ago😭 literally so much info about this show is hard to access for the casual viewer unless you go digging around multiple different sources
@@someonewhocantmakeuptheirm2671 If only Viv and co was a better writer, we wouldn't have this problem.
@@someonewhocantmakeuptheirm2671the worst thing is when people believe things from this one fanfic wiki, forgot how its called.
Its so frustrating to see ppl spreading misinformation because they couldnt even do 1 Minute of research.
Like no, alastor DID NOT promise his dying mother that he will never lose his smile whilst crying🤦♂️☠️☠️
I really liked the idea of alastor being in that yellowy papper tone, its really ties back into his character dieing in the mid 1900's
sepia, and yes, i agree (but holy cow is it weird not seeing him as red)
It reminds me of Bendy's style lol

Redo it.

Also these redesigns are so good 😭🙏🙏
Yesss
And the fact that she found more issues is hilarious.
Okay but what kind of mistakes did she make like what it was just a redesign with not a lot of thought put into it there was no need to make it into some kind of apology video worthy drama
It shouldn’t have been controversial in the first place, all she did was make a few bad designs
@elalaela2694 I know! I saw the original video and thought she made a lot of good points. I was just saying that the community told he off because she didn't finish the show, and when she did, she found more issues with the designs of the characters.
i have never had a postive experience with hazbin hotel fans. One cyberbullied me relentlessly to the point I had to leave a discord server and delete my reddit account
I'm reluctant to involve myself in so many fandoms due to this like sure be passionate about your favourite media but don't go around harassing folks for it, I'm so sorry that happened to you such a weirdo, must have no life of their own.
I'm so sorry for you
I'm so sorry that happened to you
The HH is probably the first fandom I’m legit afraid to interact with. I’m so sorry you experienced such harassment.
Damn as a hazbin fan, i apologise in place for my fandom 😭
I love the original designs, but you are absolutely right about them not portraying the characters' personalities. Your designs really convey much more information, and that's cool!
I love how lavender changed Husk into looking more like a dog since Alastor is said to not care for dogs to much so it would be really funny to think about in my opinion considering Al owns Husks soul.
Edit: WOW 1k likes thats wild. Thanks :D
It's confirmed Al also hates cats.
As a non native speaker I thought Husk was a wink to husky dogs and he was a dog not a cat ;-; So I'm glad too lmao
It would also fit into the world since hellhounds are a thing.
@@GoobyGoober-ho1lsyes but hellhounds are supposed to be hellborn while Husk is a sinner
@@GoobyGoober-ho1ls hellhounds are hellborns and husk is a sinner. He hated cats in his past life so thats why Husk is a cat
Founding father swag 😭
I love it
@@milk-kg2pm HAMILTON OC, LMAO
Honestly I feel like Vaggie would love some founding father swag lol
I got Hamilton flashbacks when she said that 💀
I got that founding father swag son! 😎
lavender adjusting alastors head to the side is so funny because of it being sped up and looking how it does when he actually does it in the show💀🙏
I can’t believe people are actually hating on lavendertowne, like???? She’s literally so sweet and talented??????😭✨
I can never hate Lavendertowne but, at the same time I think valid criticism is important. Before drawing anything it is good having all the information. I genuinely enjoyed watching these new designs as I wasn’t a big fan of her original redesigns.
Most of the hate I saw regarding the first video was primarily due to lack of information. Based on what I saw floating around. Though you can react less heated... I get the critics that first video got. I get not being in tbe right heads pace at times and not feeling well but I'd say then prospone the video or do an easier less time and effort requiring video. You can redesign characters from shows without info about it but be prepared for the storm coming for you. It's always a risky thing to do something like that in the first place but doing it with "I watched 3 episodes and called it a day" knowledge is a recipe for disaster
I'm glad you brought up the issues with Vaggie. She doesn't really have any personality beyond being Charlie's partner and that can be a weak point on fleshing out a character. I think one of the best ways to know if you made a good character is trying to describe their personality without mentioning any other characters.
i also like how she addressed the hypocrisy of people bc if she were dating a man that would suddenly be a problem.
Vaggie does she’s a protective but cowerdly person when is actual danger she’s so protective because she knew she couldn’t be killed but when she went to heaven where her secret could get exposed and when she met carmilla she was scared she believes she needs to be useful because Charlie took her in
She’s just not as outspoken about it as angel or charlie
@@Luciferthekingofpurgitory it's too subtle, and _still_ charlie focused
@@prcervi she literally sings about her fear and has two episodes about Said fear 6 and 7
seeing the moth inspo made me realize i would love to see you turn different/butterflies moths into characters! it seems right up your alley and fun
MOTHMAN
Omg I hope she does that
Ohh this would be a good idea!
I’d love that too! If you’re really interested in moths and butterflies or just bugs in general I’d highly suggest checking out idolomantises’ stuff, they’re an artist that makes humanoid bug art (and other stuff but bug art is good art)
Turning moths into cute girls video 👀👀
I actually really like these designs, I love that not eveyone is matching the same color, they give off their own style
Stolen art needs to be treated more seriously, I appreciate your respect for other artists. I'm saying the people who originally stole the art and removed the artist's name should be held accountable.
They could never make me hate you 🤭🌸
That is a cat video, and is not relevant to the video.@KurtusOldroyd
Ong, if a redesigned video was enough to make people turn on the artist, then maybe they weren't the biggest of supporters.
ur so real
@@HappyGoof4 it's a spam bot
Seeing the “this is au art no malicious repost please “ makes me so so sad :(
I’m heavy into some fandoms and can take criticism of shows I like, if anything I’m critical of the shows I love too
Gosh, hazbin community is so wild. I could tell she'll get in trouble in her deleted video just because she missed some super specific details about characters' lore or designs that frankly weren't translated all that well into the show :(
I feel like it's even better if you're critical of the shows you love tbh
Yeah I've seen reposts of her art on Pinterest and whatnot. It angers me she has to put a watermark to protect her art
Yeah, the earlier designs were mid but nothing to harass her over
Like i saw them then i forgot about them
then my feed blew up with hate
@@T.JacobMainhonestly I feel like people were way too harsh about it, especially on twitter? Like yeah her initial designs weren’t great but I feel like how people went about it was unnecessary.
I relate to how you feel! I was an early Vivzie fan but when I had criticisms about her products (Hazbin Hotel & Helluva Boss), I felt like I couldn’t share them because of how horrible other fans were to people who had different opinions :/
I've been a fan of Hazbin since Viv was still making Zoophobia. I hate that people in this fandom are so closed-minded. I absolutely agree with your critiques of several of the Hazbin Hotel character designs, especially Alastor's hair and Husk's wings. Ultimately, they're Viv's characters, so she gets to design them how she wants, but it's always really cool hearing about how other people would do things differently and why.
i love that Lavender's default was making Vaggie into a sapphic knight- cause me too honestly, me too 😭
Sapphic Knight Vaggie goes kinda hard and plays well into that "protector" role she appointed herself to for Charlie and the hotel.

While I do think the comments on the last one were mean, I love the way that she redrew them! I think it’s a huge improvement from the last video. I especially love vaggie’s design
She should've done research.
Edit: y'all can stop responding to me now with the same shit over and over. I get the damn point.
@@maributalsofwoggie me too! I think she did a great job this time. Although the original redesigns did suffer for different reasons that wasn’t an excuse to legit bully someone on the internet 😭 total shame 😭😭
Vaggies design is cute tho!❤️
Those redesigns were absolutely NOT good
@@twist_ending7545 fair, but maybe we shouldn't harass someone over this
I love your Husk design so much! It has so much personality and I’m obsessed with the subtle card and poker chip motifs on his vest. I love how scruffy you’ve made him as well, it really gives him that “tired old hound” energy.
i’ve been in the fandom since the pilot and i am honestly so sorry about this community and how they’ve been acting to you :( they think they’re better then everyone just because they’ve known the show years before it came out and that’s not a cool attitude to have >:/
I would love to see your redesigns of some more characters like Angel, Niffty, and the Vees !! :D
THE FACT THAT SHE PUT LIKE A LOW RESOLUTION OVERLAY ON ALASTOR MAKES ME SO HAPPY FOR SOME REASON
yoo i didnt notice that, thats cool
This just goes to show that Lavender genuinely cares about making good content and her community :)
Edit: Also- I love the designs! I think Husk and Vaggie are my two favorite redesigns. When you go back and do redesigns it really shows how much research they actually put into the show.
However, as someone who would be Alastor’s bestie, I think the hair just is there for silhouette differences and her way of trying to make diversity since the colors aren’t quite doin it..
@AriannaBredinwe already have the full video
@@jadetimer just report, it's a bot
@@piedcrusader2066 i did lol
(when I did their channel was FOURTY FOUR minutes old)
Charlie is not the daughter of Satan in the show Lucifer owns the Pride ring and Satan the wrath ring, but people often get it confused! Just pointing it out for future knowledge ❤
THE RETURN OF SEPIA ALASTOR AWOOOOOGA also everyone else looks super cute and nice and I love your designs :) you're the best!!
For me personally, I think that Alastor’s deer ears looking more like a fox’s ears has amazing potential to be a good way to read the character.
When the pilot first came out a lot of people thought it was intentional that he hid his deer aspects and the only confirmation of him being a deer was from looking at his tap shoes (rip deer track tap shoes!) it gave a “Wolf in sheep’s clothing” kinda theme! Really wish Viv would’ve kept things in the pilot like the show but ya know, game and pressure changes people- and people change in general.
That does seem like a really cool idea, but it does seem like more retroactive justification for the design choices like Lavender "talks" (puts text on screen) about in the video.
@@Deadflower019 Yeah!! The only way to make this design choice work would be to make it look more intentional
I feel bad for all the hate you got for the first video but I’m so happy you had the chance to recreate it
(Also I love Charlie’s design)
I agree she didn't deserve all that hate
@@silly_sparkleI understand why she got hate tho I know she wasn’t feeling well but she still drew over someone else’s art talked about something that she didn’t even watch or know anything about and didn’t do any research I feel like she only made the first video bc hazbin hotel was popular and put in low effort
Same
@@zadaiViziepop sucks lol
@@zadaiSending hatred to a casual consumer of a piece of media will only make the Hazbin fandom appear more toxic and unwelcoming, and I'm saying this as someone whos been a fan since the original pilot. While I personally did not like Lavenders original redesign, by no means do I think she deserved having people publically bash her.
i havent watched (and have NO intention to watch) hazbin hotel but id watch it immediately with these designs theyre so much better. also as someone who hadnt ever heard of the cat dog guy when you revealed him i was surprised bc he looks 20
I love your redesigns so so so so much!
And i really agree with you about the fandom being toxic. I think it comes from a history of really unfounded criticism against vivzie along with a level of immaturity since the fanbase is pretty young. It’s not an excuse for what they’re doing but i just think it’s sad how ruthlessly attacking a community has now led to that community ruthlessly attacking people who are just being objective.
ANYWAYS I LOVE YOUR REDESIGNS SO MUCH YOU DID A REALLY GREAT JOB
OMG I love how much you referenced IRL pics of Alastor's race for his design. I love the dark skin/light freckles idea on a character design!!
Everyone in these designs looks super cool, and you can easily tell what they're meant to be like here ^^
yes! those freckles work well to make him look more deerish, plus just looks neat. im sick, i love this design so much 😭
Alastor freckles reminding me of Bambi for some reason but I love it
I didn’t even know he was mix.
Fun fact: Upside down crosses aren't a symbol of Satanism or Hell. It's actually a symbol of St. Peter. 😊
Some people mistaken this. 😅
as a christian ive always found it interesting how people take the st. peters cross and call it “satanic”
Wasn’t st. peter put on a upside down cross because he didn’t feel worthy to be crucified the same way as jesus?
@@ed.is.d34d. satanist like to invert what is seen as good or holy. Like how the lamb represents purity and the goat represents sin

@@ed.is.d34d.yep this is true! not christian but i really like symbolism so yeah, its st peter's cross. this issue stems from the belief that every christian symbol turned upside-down is satanic without looking into the fact that symbols like st peter's cross were already upside-down

14:12 *cutely snaps his neck 😊*
Hi Lavender! Not trying to critique your design on Husk in any way but demons can infact have wings! Valentino (although I hate to mention him), does have wings aswell and they don't always point to an angel or ex-exorcist of some sort. I think the reason he was made a cat was to show that hes on Alastor's leash and stuff and that he was seen as a pet. Dogs are also pets but cats are more laidback yet sometimes hostile and affectionate which reflects Husk's personality aswell. Again, not trying to critique your design, just wanted to put it out there! I love both designs of Husk :)
But cats aren’t know for having leashes and he’s name is husk so when you look at him you think of husky’s. Plus I heard in the comments Alastor hates dogs so it be ironic that he has someone who looks like a dog under Alastor’s control.
@@dante_0962 True, but cats who can't guide themselves properly are usually on leashes which could hint at that reference. Plus, Husk would not be his original name as many sinners give themselves,or others, new names as a demon so perhaps he wanted to strive to be a Husky so named himself that way. Also Husk is a nickname for his name Husker which also sounds like whisker, which could be seen in a cat way or booze way. Again, I'm not trying to critique designs just trying to give my opinions and theories on his appearance.
Valentino is a moth though, so the wings make sense as do his extra pair of arms. Husk is a cat, and I think the only sinner demon we have seen who has features of two animals. The leash part is cool, but I think it is an interpretation.
I do agree on the personality though, it does fit a cat very well. Perhaps a bigger, more severe looking cat would have worked. I also think maybe a dog for a sinner would not work on this universe because we also have Hellhounds, who are hell-born. It would be kind of confusing - or it would have to be a huge plot point for him, changing his whole character's story. So cat is fine with me. Love Lavender's design though, personality and clothing wise. I do wish the show leaned harder on each character's era.
@@AuroraDeLirio I always thought Husk was designed after a sphinx like half cat, half human usually drawn with wings 🤔 but I've never saw anyone mention this so it's just my take on his design ahahah.
This redesign is WILDLY better, I actually prefer some of them to the canon designs to be honest, I’m glad you went back and fully watched the show I think it really improved the designs :)
It sucks that you were going through something, and then the drama from the previous video probably compounded on that. I will say though that I really enjoy your updated designs. They more easily articulate the issues I had with the show's character design as well. Ty for coming back with this more put together video and hope the community is kind to you :)
I love Husk's design but remembered a small fun fact Vizzie once said. Husk is a cat because he hates cats lmao. That's why he is a cat, literally cuz he depises cats and his Hell reborn body made him a cat. Thought it was a funny little fun fact I wanted to share!
As well as Angel Dust being a spider. If you notice, Valentino is a moth. Normally spiders eat moths, but its a unique switch around where Angel Dust is the one that is "stuck in a web". lots of small details that I think are super interesting.
Omg I love the unintentional "founding father swag" you gave to Vaggie, she looks amazing
As much as I like Hazbin, I always felt that the character designs were a biproduct of Vivian’s interests.
Judging by the main cast, she really likes putting her characters in suits and loves the color red to the point of it being a detail in almost every character we see in the show.
Funnily enough, I found myself almost running into this issue when designing the characters for my comic series, but I understood that if every character looked the same or had similar motifs, it would kill their uniqueness in personality and theming.
i think that the color con be understand better if someone watch helluva boss first, it's a spin-off of hh and explore the world buildintg better
If you watch helluva boss you'll explore other rings of hell in the universe, each one has a different color scheme, greed being greed for example. Pride, where hazbin hotel takes place, is red. It's also possible that the colors of the rings tie into the chain colors, like how Husk's is green like the sin of greed. That's just a theory though
@@pastelgoth9885 As she pointed out in this video, that's just a retroactive explanation to justify the extreme overuse of red. Even if you want to theme a place after a single colour, there's a billion different shades, hues, and saturations you can use to make things varied and have the characters stand out.
Sorry, these are Vivziepop characters, so she can design them in any way she wants without needing to accomodate them to the tastes of pretententious guys that only knows to complain like you. There's to much red in the show? Yeah, but who cares? If the creator wanted to make the show that way because that's her personal and artistic vision and we should just simply accept that instead of complaining all day non-stop on the internet.
@@Shadow_Noceda not once had I ever stated nor implied that the designs should change to fit my tastes. I was only making an observation as someone who’s pursuing a similar line of work.
It’s illiterate people like you who think they’re doing God’s work by pulling at straws that aren’t there. Try reading before you type 💀
You snatching his “emo bob” off Alastor’s head was so funny ToT
hazbin fans sound like swiftie fans, im sorry but if people attack other people just for having a harmless opinion, you are going to be seen as a cruel person who has hurt someone. lavender im sorry you got attacked, i hope you are feeling better. your are amazing (your right about the designs, your au of them makes it feel more full and well planned) (no hate to vivziepop, love her art and her projects shes done amazing work, but shes put a bit too much on her shoulders and i hope shes doing okay too)
Man, giving Vaggie a military/soldier outfit is so good!
I really love how much you take in consideration of what they are into your designs. I think the series character designs are top tier made and very unique, I wish they made their position or job more apparent in their looks.
she literally doesn't want to be associated to military stuff because of her past, this doesn't make any sense
@@jsostick you would have talked shit no matter what the design was, and you know it. Stay in your lane.
@@jsostick I haven't watched the show (yet?) so ultimately idk, but isn't it possible to unknowingly gravitate towards what you're used to, even if you're actively trying to reject it? Especially if she was a soldier for a long time.
@@jsostick Her entire personality is dating Charlie and the military. Pretty sure she’d be okay with it lmao
@@blueberrae. I mean, if you notice, she only leans into the whole military thing when Charlie is removed from the equation. All she knew before was military and the beginnings of mercy. After being punished for that mercy, she met Charlie, so it's not surprising she kind of imprinted.
I honestly think, since her intent was to hide her past, she would not wear any sort of military-esque clothes in the beginning, but after her past is outted and she's more accepted, I could see her leaning more into some more retired military officer-type clothes. Or at least a suit that looks similar to a military uniform, perhaps.
One could even argue, and it would fall in line for her background, that the clothes she wore in season 1 were picked out by Charlie.
vaggie is an absolute glow up dude, i love your design of her

Only thing I wish she kept was the hair tbh. I know it would probably suck to fight with but the shape scratches the itchy spot in my brain and I think it makes a fun stand-in for the wings, angel or not. Guess it's just personal preference though
Your Husk is FANTASTIC- no notes he’s perfect. also I love the crown horns that feels very appropriate for Charlie /gen
Every character who has died at some point one of the things that they hated become a feature of theirs like how alastor still has his yellow teeth from when he was alive.
As a pretty big Hazbin fan, here’s my unnecessarily long and unasked for take on your redesigns, in order of the end line up!
Husk: Honestly, I love what you did. In this version he looks so much more… gruff, if that’s the right word, and more like his personality on paper. I also feel like the sweater does a great job at symbolizing that yeah, he’s rude, but he does have that softie side to him. I love both your version and canon husk.
Vaggie: Honestly… I think I like this version more than the canon. To me this fits her a lot more. Love the hair a lot, as well. Doing a knight theme actually goes really well with her dating Charlie as well, considering Vaggie is often trying to protect Charlie like a knight protects their kingdom/royals!
Charlie: First off, shorter Charlie (she looks short in the lineup) is adorable. Intentional or not I feel it adds to the fact nobody takes her seriously. The more princess-y vibe to her is very fitting too. You can’t convince me she wouldn’t wear puffy sleeves lol. Not to mention the innocent wide eyes! Though something about her suit in the canon… can’t explain why I like it, but as I stated and shall restate, I like both your version and the canon!
Alastor: So… I love it. Absolutely love it. Alastor is probably my favorite character out of everyone here (Charlie and Husk are close seconds) and my second favorite redesign. It looks like he’s straight from his era, and a charming businessman ready to make a deal. Not even talking about his facial expression, it somehow looks both unnerving and welcoming. The freckles are so cool as well! Kinda makes me think of how fawns and doe (? Correct me if I’m wrong on that) have white spots on their backs. This is how I’ve kinda pictured Alastor would look as a human, actually (minus the antlers and ears obviously lol). I feel the more sleek/trimmed hair adds to that “gentleman radio host” vibe.
With my opinions stated, enjoy my take on it! Feel free to reply with any additions or your take on it :)
also lucifer is short so they can be a short father-daughter duo! (lilith's genes did absolutely nothing unless we decide to make her short too which would then just make them a feral gremlins family.)
i just want to say that i like alastor's original desing a bit more because of how cool it is, like the emo hair looks cool on him dang it.
@@zynpkrdg All short Morningstars would be hilarious lol. Or all short but Lilith would also be hilarious.
I do agree, Alastor’s original clothing/hair are cool. I like the idea that her redesign was him prior to death, and canon Alastor remains the same.
@@FlickeringBurningEmber imagine if lilith (tall) and lucifer had more children and they were ALL short as heck. like lilith stood out like a sore thumb.
@@zynpkrdgMe and my ducklings be like:
@@zynpkrdg I love this idea so much, it is just absolutely incredible. Thank you for giving me this image in my head! I could imagine Lilith wondering how on earth they all ended but short. Not even average height, just short.
Now THIS is the classical lavendertowne designs we all know and love. I knew something was up when you did the previous redesigns, as they didn't have the charm you often put into your art at all, as admittedly, it felt way more lazy in contrast to the usual effort you put in. I'm so glad that you're now doing fine, and love your new re-redesigns of the characters!
Yes! I’m so glad she is feeling better now something definitely felt off in the first video as a lavendertown and Hazbin Hotel fan.
I saw someone discussing the drama surrounding the original redesigns and when I saw them I was SHOCKED. I hadn't watched a LavenderTowne video in a while but that was not the design quality I remembered. I'm glad she redid them! They look a lot better now.
That's really true, but I still think that she is allowed to have off days. As an artist you can't always be at your best and that's fine. I wouldn't call it lazy per se, although I know what you mean. These desings are so beautiful but the backlash she got for the old ones was foul.
@@lorelei7889 Absolutely. It was harsh, though to give benefit of the doubt, some of the fans' criticisms and reasons were understandable. With that said, it was mostly quite negative, which, unfortunately, as Lavender has said near the end of this video, affected her view over the fandom in general.
i genuinely love the way you made these designs! please do another one of these
I agree with changing body types, hazbin has issues with not too much shape language. but I do honestly kinda dislike Husk and Alastor’s re-designs. I like that you made husk more bulky but you also took away a lot of his design and made a bit too simple for me. And Alastor’s is good but it doesn’t really fit the color aesthetic of the show, it’s in hell so Viv made it important that all cast had pink/red tones. But this is just me personally. I think Charlie and vaggie is a great re-designs. I do wish Charlie was a bit taller because I think it shows her mother’s genes and also that vaggie was a bit more muscular, due to her being an ex-exterminator. I absolutely love your content and characters you come up with! I feel like the re-designs for husk and alastor are great but it just didn’t fit their character style for me. Great video though!
The second I saw the title I was like “uh oh”
So glad you redid it because it was a very nice video idea!
Nikolai pfp! ✨
@@TotallyNormalLauren yup :D
okay i LOVE vaggies design, what a vibe. I also agree with her lack of personality, i hope in season 2, that gets worked on
I absolutely adore what you’ve done with Alastor and Husk!!! Especially with having them mesh so well with their descriptions, chefs kiss as always!!🌟
I LOVE THESE DESIGNS SO MUCH AND THANK U SO MUCH FOR ACTUALLY TAKING THEIR TIME PERIOD INTO CONSIDERATION !!!!
I love the idea of Alastor having a sepia overtone, it just makes him stand out in such a cool way! I really like how you did his redesign
Husk's design being a scraggly old dog is so good! It's way more in line with his personality and role in the story
Fr, it would have even be good if it was a scraggly old cat to, but it fits well with his VA, don't get me wrong, live his design but hers is verry fitting haha
I loved these designs and the thought you put behind them!! And I very much appreciate the balanced approach you took to this)
Day 369 of asking for tanks as characters.
Once again I still can't draw hands, but I can draw hamsters. I should try to draw a tank.
hey, do you mind if I make a short about your year long request? :) I wanted to surprise you by making a short about a tank character but I thought I should ask first
@@LavenderTowneyou definitely should, even if I'm not toaster, but I think they would really appreciate it!
@@LavenderTowne OMG ABSOLUTELY!
Today has been awesome, I've been super excited and energetic all day. From both drinking 2 cups of coffee and because my year long request is actually happening. Lavendertowne you are awesome.
I think the reason hazbin hotel has such an aggressive and mean fanbase is because Vivziepop has had an extremely long Internet history and many fans have followed her so long or gone back into her past Internet history they've developed this really specific type of parasocial relationship with her and her work?? Especially since her herself also tends to get carried away defending herself like crazy, especially on twitter. I do think this has also been caused because even before the full show came out theres been a rabid large community of what i call a hate fandom ripping into every thing she's made. She started growing a following on deviantart first which no offence to deviantart but..definitely explains alot to me.
It sucks both fans AND people who dislike the hellaverse are so equally toxic and aggressive, even the show creator herself sometimes getting involved, it can definitely make a bad impression on the show and how (TW: OPINIONS) Great it actually is!! Especially since its boosting the indie animation community like crazy. All i hope is everyone settles down, things are cleared up and that Vivzie gets a godamn pr team and possibly some therapy 😭
this comment is so real. this is very well explained and everything makes sense now
Well said 👏
i completely agree, lol
the weird parasocial ‘how dare you insult our queen’ mindset is strange especially since it seems a lot of the fandom is children
@@deweyr_fisher it is, but after getting exposed to the equally intense ''vivziepop and her shows killed my grandma'' mentality i can't say i don't understand why they get so defensive about it... seems like she just elicits extremely poralizing emotions in people for some reason
@@rozinq1351 yeah i really don’t understand why that is, i don’t like the show but it has never occurred to me to harass people over it. It’s just a combination of people with no home training being overly bold through a screen on both sides, or the extreme [positive or negative] parasocial obsession people have with Viv.
Im sorry you got so much hate. It was kind of unfair and some of it was insane. I am genuinely so glad you're back and also your criticism was fair. You weren't even a hater. You literally gave it so much kindness and I hate that people misconstrued it. Thank you so much.
Hazbin twitter is full of toxic people who will do anything to trash talk someone's criticism. Be it constructive or not
okay genuinely what did people say?? because all i saw was some people saying it didnt seem to be as high a quality as usual and it seemed clear that she didnt fully understand the characters or anything at all (which… i get. if i had gone into hazbin knowing nothing, i probably wouldve been super confused too)
@@goldenheart__People were saying her art was trash, she was clickbaiting for attention, she was a Hazbin hater, she wasn’t allowed to criticize the show because her art sucks (even though her points were perfectly valid), etc. Some people were chill with their criticism but a lot of them were just personally insulting LavenderTowne and her art.
@@goldenheart__ I remember some people saying her redesign is bland (Angel dust's version is tho) and that she lied about going to art school which is just outright stupid
@@noobmasterruben5167 they could literally go to any other video and see her drawings are better than the rushed one
these designs are so wonderfully thought out! this is how i found your channel but i'm definitely gonna stick around omg!
YES- DO MORE- I MUST SEE ALL THE REDESIGNS OMG I LOVE THESE LITTLE DESIGNS YOU MADE FOR THEM THEY LOOK SO GOOD HELP-
It's so fresh to see someone talk about a mistake or "controversy" in such an open, honest way. I dunno. Thank you Lavender.
i wish it was considered the bare minimum but with "apologies" like the ukulele woman existing that sadly all goes to shit
Holy shit you handled that 'controversy' situation so well, respect (Then again, especially in the art community, the bar for that is down in the lowest ring of hell). Also, holy shit these redesigns are absolutely amazing!!! I especially love Alastor's redesign, it's very different but it makes him stand out a lot! /pos
Alastor turned out great! I really liked the little touch of the static line filter over him
I hadn't watched the first video you put up, but i really respect that you owned up to making a mistake and took down your previous video. i think the tone you took for this video both on refusing to use another artists stolen work and trying to fairly criticize hazbin hotel does a really good job of showing respect to your fellow artists.
i am a bit fond of some of the stranger design choices in hazbin i totally agree that a lot of them dont really make sense based on the characters and its visually jarring, so i think your redesigns are awesome. id love another video redesigning some of the other characters, particularity angel dust!
the first video got WAYYYY to much hate
vivzie’s fans need to take a chill pill and stop harassing people for tiny little mistakes
I'm currently being harassed for my own redesigns 💀
these designs are really good, and its awesome you could push through the shit they gave you to find actual criticism to improve with
Apparently it’s a right of passage, good luck to you!!! I hope people aren’t too mean :(
@@LavenderTowne Yea, ive had a lot of my posts mass reported, when its just art of redesigns, and now theyre attacking me personally :')
hope these redesigns get the love they deserve btw!
I'm so sorry to hear that. These fans are so immature it makes me angry. Like they shouldn't even be allowed on the internet if they can't handle looking at other people's redesigns of characters.
It's so nice to hear some actually constructive criticism about Hazbin Hotel, not just mindless hate. I love the show, but also willing admit it has plenty of flaws. It's a shame that some people hate on it so viciously for seemingly no reason, but then on the other side some people see any criticism as a personal attack. As a fan of the show, but also a fan of you, it's nice that you are so respectful. 🥰
THIS!!!! 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
Fr some people hate on the show very aggressively and it's just straight up hate and they say it's just "soft criticism" but when someone actually criticizes it they get hate from the fandom
YOU DIDNT DESERVE THAT ILYSM LAVENDER :CCC
This was awesome to watch! I'd absolutely love to see some more redesigns, because as one who designs a ton of ocs for my own entertainment, I think all your points and constructive criticisms are very helpful and insightful!!
Thank you for mentioning the thing about Alistor's ears!! I thought it was a wolf, too! We shouldn't have to read a companion article to understand why their designs are the way they are.
Just give us a bowl of noodle incidents as explanations, bare minimum 😭
I love noodle incidents lol they're just so silly and I think they would work really well with the show.
A wolf? Seriously?!
@@Alastor_slays66 ikr, the ears don't immediately look like deer ears but the rest of his design is very clearly a deer. The hoof prints on the bottom of his shoes, the antlers, it shouldn't take more than a minute to see he's not a wolf lol
@@Thesilentdemise Exactly! If you are confused just look closely!
@@Thesilentdemise to be fair the antlers do get lost in his hair a little bit. It's easy to see that he's a deer when his antlers grow out a bit more but at first glance you really wouldn't be able to guess ( or at least I didn't realise lol )
Coming from a Hazbin fan since 2019 this crap so ridiculous. Like I understand not liking a redesign but attacking/harassing somebody over it is so ridiculous. I don’t understand why people get this upset over an opinion over a fictional character rather you like the character or not.
Fr! The video wasn't very well researched and all, but the level of harassment was crazy
@@derpyunicorn5543the amount of videos made on hazbin criticising on the plot alongside the contestant drama being stirred up against Viv on Twitter made them reach a boiling point where they just BFG blast Mars anyone.
16:10 omg not you cleaning alastors teeth 😭😭
I love these really hope you do the rest of the cast! One thing I’d love to see your take on is Adam’s design - he doesn’t come off as very angelic to me
16:18 "His other eyes"
Me who knew he was a spider: wait... Those are eyes... Not... Freckles....?
When he gets angry at Husk, it's a bit more obvious
Those are…. Eyes?…
I would just like to appreciate and point out how maturely Lavendertowne goes about issues like this. She gives constructive criticism and mentions when things are just a personal preference while also understanding both sides of the controversy and discusses issues very peacefully
Its just really refreshing to see someone behave like this in a very chaotic aggressive and attacking world.
I love what you did about Charlie and Vaggie's body types, but the clothes... I think you missed the whole point. You sticked to the stereotype when they are supossed to break it. Firstly, Charlie doesn't need superpuffy dresses to be an absolute Disney princess. I love that about her, I feel very represented, she can act "girly" and sweet while wearing whatever she is comfortable with. Besides, she probably wants to look approachable with the whole "hotel manager" look, so the crown-looking horns defeat the whole purpose, she shows that she doesn't want to take advantage of her royal status. Vaggie, on the other hand is a great warrior but looks very "feminine". When she met Charlie, she found a home, she could finally be herself instead of just another soldier. In hell, she had the opportunity to find her own style out of the exorcists uniform and it is completely normal that her casual clothes are just that, casual. She's not constantly fighting! She already has a battle outfit and I think it'd been more interesting if you had redesigned both of them. This is not a hate comment, I usually like your ideas. Husk and Alastor are great, actually, and I'd like to see your ideas about Angel. It's just that I know sticking to the stereotype is a more cartoony thing, but this is not a show for kids, we have seen the "normal" case maaaany times; can't we have this one different?
I love hazbin and I love your vaggie design she's so cool, she kind of looks like pirate which makes sense with her "whatever it takes" song on the ship. You did awesome
I'm so glad that you pointed out how old fans interact with new fans. As someone who has been following the show for a long time I know a lot about the hidden lore and I always found myself explaining things to my friends that I thought were common knowledge but in reality were just things that newcomers wouldn't know about after diving head first into the show, there needs to be a separation between what is said in live streams and on social media and what is put in the show, especially when interacting on a wiki space
Edit: I totally would love to see how you redesign angel dust especially!
As somebody who's been a fan of both you AND Hazbin for years and years, I'm really sorry you had such a negative introduction to the fandom. People can be crazy and toxic, and it's so sad to see such communities frequently forming around creative and enjoyable new media. I would love to see a re-design of Angel, and maybe also Lillith, Niffty, even Valentino?? I love your art so much. Thanks for all you do ✨️
Valentino doesn’t deserve to have the honor of being redesigned by Lavender >:(
@axnixX I'm mostly wondering if she can telegraph his vile personality even more somehow 🤔 He's a horribly bad guy, of course, but that doesn't make him a bad CHARACTER.
@@Cecil... yeah… fair point… but we could never forgive val
I love your new redesigns and i like the fact that you used the time period their from to make their clothes and hair especially Alastor’s
You did an amazing job with these! I love your art so much!
Vaggie redesign is so good like omg queen???? Step on me???? AND HUSK LOOKS AMAZING TOO, THE FUR MARKINGS??? my everything
Would love to see more, esp Lucifer and Adam designed in your style!
I mean, i like them but i think vaggie could be worked on since the show encircles the hotel, i'd like to see her in some form of work attire for her job in the hotel, could put her in a bouncer, manager, bellhop, basically something that you'd see someone in while working in the hotel. With husker, i'd like to see something that more stands out for husker, maybe add to the fur color or something that'll help him stand out a bit more since in lavender's drawing it feels like he needs something.. maybe he could have a scar or scratch on him or maybe give him the hat back since his head looks so bare without it.
Yesss an Adam redesign would be 👌🏻
Why are you sexualising things? 😭
As a die hard Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss/Vivziepop fan, i really appreciate you redesigning the characters with more of their backstory and the shows general aesthetic and color scheme in mind. I think youre right in that a lot of die hard fans can be really negative towards people who dont know the generally accepted fan theories, or obscure semi-canon peices of lore. Im just really glad that people are watching and seem to like this show :)
Great redesigns! I would enjoy seeing you do more characters. Keep up the good work as always.
Loved the redesigns and seeing your perspective on these characters. I agree with a lot of your points and agree that the random can be a bit too protective of the show. If you decide to do more in the future, I'd love to see them!
i love husk's design here! he would have a dad bod instead of a tiny lil waist
I am so sorry about the backlash you got. You’re a very mature, kind-hearted creator and you handled the situation so well. Glad you’re doing better! I absolutely love your Husk redesign, to the point I prefer it over the canon design.
I love your interpretations of these characters in your style. I always enjoy seeing the level of research you put into your drawing as well.
This was a excellent bunch of redesigns, gotta say you def picked up on some of the things i noticed troughout the show (body type similarities, on paper vs on screen characterization n such). Loved these n would be incredibly interested to see how you redesign the rest of the Hazbin crew❤️
omg HUSK LOOKS LIKE A HUSKY- GENIUS- OMG THAT IS GENIUS-
Genius*
@@Ratty_Ratzzz Thanks-
