Now introducing Vaggie's redesign! ft. Alastor being a little shit, as usual

[chubs-deuce]

This is based on a drawing by callmetea7 on twitter :D

Original under the cut!

[shaylai]

Next up is Charlie's redesign! 🌈🐐 Some thoughts on her under the cut ^^

I actually quite like her designs from the pilot and the series, so I think this doesn't feel as different from the original sources. I don't have many complaints on her original design except for the excessive use of red on all her clothes, but that's something that a lot of Hazbin characters have in common, so it's manageable. I wanted to bring back her black pupils and black pants, and I really love how that worked out hsjsj

I read once that Charlie was supposed to be based on a porcelain doll, and that never quite left my mind, though if I heard that from the creator or somewhere on the Internet I don't remember lol. So I added some separations to her limbs, like an articulated porcelain doll! (I want to draw her interacting with Velvette one day, I REALLY like the idea of a porcelain doll and a mannequin/plastic doll together, sounds fun)

"Hey so, why doesn't she have certain ASSETS?" 🤫 Shh ignore that, I'm not planning on drawing more... suggestive? Art of her, so I haven't given much thought to it... Yet.

ANYWAYS, I also HAD to add more goat-like features, I've always liked drawing her with goat ears and horns, after all.

Her hair is pretty similar to the one in the series, I kept the fluff, gave it a spiral at the end when it's tied up, and several spirals when it's loose because I based it on some ceramic angel figurines that always have this sort of hair that looks extremely soft. Also because it reminds me a bit of lambs' fur, and I feel that makes her look more approachable and trustworthy.

I don't quite picture her as a wolf in sheep's clothing, but since she's technically the Antichrist, I think it would be interesting to give her something that makes her look like a lamb, an animal representative of Christ; when in reality she's a goat, an animal more associated with the devil.

I gave her a red vest as the kind of uniform she'd wear at the hotel. Credits to my friend @danboo for helping me with her design! You're a genius, man 🥹🥹 ilysm

I'm still thinking about how to design her full demon form. Her horns would definitely grow like in canon, and I want her appearance to change into something similar to those classic images of demonic goats. But I still have to make another sheet for her demon form 😅

...

Another thing I wanted to add, which isn't that much about my design but more about my preferences on how the characters should be, is that I don't imagine Charlie as someone stupid or that gullible. She's supposed to be a 200-300 year old demon who grew up surrounded by royalty in Hell, like, come on. I don't believe that, at her age, she would barely know how to use her powers. Her parents are the most powerful beings in Hell, and her uncles are the Sins, dude, it wouldn't make sense to live that long and not learn magic.

I imagine Charlie as someone who has complete knowledge of her powers and their level (she's supposedly the third strongest demon in Hell, bruh), but she still chooses not to use her strength against others. I think it'd make more sense if she was some kind of gentle giant in terms of powers, knowing how powerful she is but deciding to be friendly and fair instead.

Still, she'd be a bit of a mess in social situations involving sinners, since she grew up sheltered and never experienced being human herself. I expect her to know how to put a facade in events with other royals, but when it comes to sinners she wouldn't exactly know how to treat humans, that's her Achilles heel.

So it would because of her lack of experience with sinners that she accepts Alastor's help when they meet, with his charm and experience managing crowds and fellow sinners. That guy has a lot of influence as well, plus he knows his stuff and how to network, even if it's in the old fashioned way.

I'll end up making an AU with all this stuff I have in mind HSHDJS 😭

When I start making content for this AU with lore and all I'll probably use a specific hashtag for it, so far everything I've done has been (ayee) ship art or illustrations without any lore includes, I'd like to do that as well ❤️‍🩹

Thank u for reading!

My first Hazbin character redesign! 📻

IT HAD TO BE ALASTOR FIRST. I really liked his canon human form, LOVED the curls, but I can't stand seeing his awful demon design (if I looked like that on Earth and then got sent to Hell and looked like THAT, I would cry), sooo I tried to make it more or less how I'd like to see him.

I wanted to try and make the red and black work in his hair, since I think the main problem for me was that cursed bob and fade, so I definitely had to try a different hairstyle (I LOVE curly hair). I tried to find some inspiration on 1930s haircuts and it's not totally similar, but I did like what I ended up with.

I also incorporated a speaker in his chest, which can function as a music player when he wants to sing or as a speakerphone, to talk when he doesn't want to use his mouth. I still think he can do that neat trick of talking with his mouth closed like in the series when talking to Vox, that was cool.

The microphone is very much inspired by microphones from the 1920s and 30s, around the time he lived. But I added an extra symbol in it for the looks 🗣️ (heyyyy Lucifer's sigil, if any sin is going to fit Alastor's character I agree that pride had to be the one. I guess they have that in common, huh)

I also find it funny to imagine that the little buttons on his suit could be used to change the station or to raise or lower the volume of his voice.

I changed his ears so they actually look like a deer's and gave him a tail because idc about canon.

He's barefoot, but I saw some type of buttoned leather they put on horses' hooves online, and I thought it would be cute to add it to his design to cover his feet a little bit.

That said, the symbols he conjures around himself aren't voodoo because I'm not going to mess with that, especially since I know almost nothing about it. They're radio symbols I searched for online.

Obligatory Alastor pose lol

[shaylai]

I used to ship Charlastor a lot back when the series wasn't out yet, but uhh

Why do you ship it, when Alastor literally tried to call himself Charlie's dad? He was only doing it to piss Lucifer off, and he was lying the whole time, but he still did it.. the entirety of Hell's Greatest Dad basically destroyed this ship. The difference between them & Charlie x Rosie (just bc the example fits) is that Rosie being a mother figure to Charlie is fanon, but Alastor had a whole song where he fought to be viewed as Charlie's better parental figure..

Hello! Thank you for your question :^) i've been asked this question a lot on tiktok and other socials as well, so I'll go ahead and take this chance to answer this question and the most common ones regarding why I like this ship, in case anyone else gets curious (WARNING: LONG POST)

Why do I like Charlastor? I agree that their chemistry originally came from the pilot, I recall that them dancing together while Alastor did a reprise of her song really caught people's attention, mine included, but back then I didn't post art on the internet. They're both my favorite Hazbin characters as well. Separately I think the concept of their characters is interesting on its own, and together I think their characters could blend quite well. That and the fact that they're kinda opposites(?) As in, all we knew back then is that Charlie believed ANYONE could be redeemed and Alastor believed that NO ONE deserved to be, but he still offered to help her with the hotel. Their beliefs reached two different ends, but each of them go to two different extremes. So I think the idea of them influencing each other and finding a balance in their beliefs with time was the most interesting part of that possible dynamic. But the pilot is better written than the show by far (especially since it's been proved multiple times V1V1enne wasn't the main person writing it, and that most of the pilot ideas are stolen... ALLEGEDLY) , so I genuinely don't ever in my life want to see this ship become canon in the series, that would ruin it for me. Most I would like to see is them becoming friends I guess. The show's writing is clearly rushed because they want to do SO much with the little screentime they have. Eight episodes per season is clearly not enough, and this second season was disappointing cause they changed so much just for plot convenience. Jesus Christ, watching Charlie's character assassination was so painful since she's been my favorite for almost two years now. But honestly? I mostly enjoy Charlastor because of the fact that it isn't canon 😅 I don't intend to follow most of the canon plotline anyways, but I will take the concepts and ideas I liked and create something I like even more. Since I don't really care about canon, I can imagine whatever I want with them and make my own content for my enjoyment. But this is just my take on the ship, anyone can see it however they'd prefer ^^

But Chaggie is canon, isn't this lesbian erasure? It is not erasure, Charlie's bi. Listen, while I like the dynamic between Charlie and Alastor more, I've got no intention on pushing my ship onto people who don't like it. At the same time, I ALSO like Chaggie and many other canon and non canon ships. I'm a multishipper at heart, the fact that Charlastor is my favorite out of them all doesn't mean I don't love other ships, it just means I will spoil them rotten for being my favorites lmfao. So! I think the concept of a fallen angel and THE princess of Hell is SO interesting and attractive. I mostly guide myself on the concepts of their characters to determine whether I like them or not, because the way the character's concepts were distorted in canon sucks. I already made pretty clear that I don't like the show's writing, and I personally find their canon relationship to be boring. The way I see it, there has been (ayee) almost no development in their relationship. That doesn't mean I would want them to be tense and complicated, love doesn't have to be that way to be interesting. But if we got to see how their relationship developed instead of getting them as an already established couple, I would be a biit more attracted to their ship. Also, Vaggie's character needs to be shown as her own person more often. With what we've seen so far, her character is only presented as being the MC's girlfriend. And I see they tried to work on that in season 2, that with her wanting to give herself her own name and being wayyy more supportive on Charlie's dream by managing more stuff at the hotel. BUT BRO, IT'S BARELY WORKED ON. All we get at the end is a scene with Charlie giving her a new name tag and are expected to believe that that arc solved itself on its own? It just sfjdgdkhs- what could've been great for Vaggie's character is again showed to be solved by Charlie. I will admit that they're cute tho, and I'd like to draw my own take of the ship one day, for funsies. I'm working on a redesign for Vaggie as well to draw her more lmao, my girl needs her time to shine as well. ALSO, as you can probably guess, I have no connection whatsoever to Vlvlenne Medrano, primevideo or the writers of the show, therefore I have no influence in the canon story. Whatever I draw is purely fanon, which means I'm not affecting the canon lore in any way, shape or form. Especially if I'm using my own redesigns to draw what I want, you can consider anything I do as an AU if you'd prefer, but at the moment I'm not following a storyline either, so any questions regarding my own lore will not have an answer yet. I'm just having fun!

Isn't Alastor a parental figure to Charlie? No, it's been cleared up he sang that to annoy Lucifer. And even if it wasn't cleared up, it was pretty obvious in my opinion. Apart from that single line on the show to make Lucifer mad, Alastor never says he's a parental figure to Charlie again. All he does is for his own convenience and entertainment, and at the moment that worked for him, so it's whatever. And again, canon won't deter me from liking a ship I've loved for years now. But if you want to HEADCANON that he is a parental figure, good for you! Fandom spaces are meant to be fun, and hopefully you can share that headcanon with people who agree and make your own content about it, enjoy your time, etc. I don't share that headcanon, however, so don't try to push it on me when I'm clearing up that I don't agree with it. Please and thank you.

Alastor is manipulating Charlie, this is toxic. Yeah! He could be! HE MOST LIKELY IS. So what? I can enjoy toxic ships just as much as healthy ones, that doesn't reflect what my morals are IRL. These are FICTIONAL characters, and I think the rise of purity culture in fandoms is stupid. If you don't agree that's fine by me, you're welcome to leave.

I don't like Charlastor, I like "X" ship better! Now I've got MULTIPLE COMMENTS of the like. Saying, for example, "Hmm I HATE the ship but good art :DDD" does not feel kind. Again, good for you if you like other things! I'm not trying to MAKE YOU like Charlastor, I'm just sharing my content for people who do enjoy it. But a little bit of consideration would be nice, going out of your way to leave a comment saying you hate something I clearly love but trying to soften that with a compliment on my artstyle- that's.. that's not- Qué?? 😭😭 Don't do that please, I don't appreciate that. I know most times it's not ill-intentioned, but I'd rather not get any comments if it's gonna be those types of comments. And there are nicer ways to say it aksdfsfs So if you like "X" ship better, go ahead and look for artists who make content of that ship you prefer and leave them some love instead! Some other things I wanna clear up! I don't tolerate hate speech on any ship. If you also like Charlastor but start hating on other ships in my comments, I'm blocking you. If you don't like Charlastor and start hating on Charlastor shippers, I'm also blocking you. I don't like interacting with minors online. So if I suspect or find out you're one, I'm not answering your comment or message. Or I'm possibly blocking you. Please don't take it personally. If you're being rude to people in my comments or to me, I will be blocking you. That's all, really, if you took your time to read all of this, thank you so much for your patience! 💛
