Happy May 1st! Art has been sporadic, so I feel I need to finally expose some of those overdue concepts now that I'm focusing on another fandom at the moment. I'm not called the fandom hopper for nothing, but I enjoy each series for the duration of months before I need to stretch my mind with the next one. I always come back to the fandoms I like, eventually! There is always a time for everything, but only when the time is right.
To my Hazbin Hotel friends, I especially owe a lot of unposted wips. Now that Hellaverse is confirmed canon, I can happily say I kept the mindset of Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel characters coexisting together in the same universe. My many roleplays I have with @dashi-inu pretty much inspired a lot of these works. Some are also own personal projects. These wips span back to December 2024, to March 2025, and while they may not be finished anytime soon, these are concepts I think about a lot.
Hazbin Character Refs
Character Spotlights
Fusions
Art Wips (Michael/Lute, Alastor/Lucifer, and Adam/Lucifer) Also Solo Abel, and a Solo Lute
With that said, enjoy my thoughts in the form of sketches!
Foreword: There will be casual nudity, and smut stuff.
Hazbin Character Refs
Dashi was making character refs for the characters we used the most in our Hellaverse universe and was working on one for Baxter. And my god, if you know, he always goes so hard on the lore and style of these. I was inspired to do the same.
Lute is one of my favorite characters, and someone that I did not expect to have more development for during the time I was working on a lot of Adam projects and works. Then again, these two go hand-to-hand in the Heaven Lore. And yet, Lute became so much more, that she turned out to be the baby girl of my fixations (thanks to dashi's vers. of Michael of course. <3)
Here is her full body. Yes, it looks almost complete, but I could never get her main outfit to work the way I really envision it and was too fixated on her "Descent to Hell" version more, so it became a delayed post.
Cain was also supposed to have his own fullbody. After making the realization I will have to do for Abel and Seth, I figured that would take a while.
Character Spotlights
There is a series that I love that does special focused comics for each of its characters *coughs thank you transformers* and I wanted to replicate that idea for every character of Hazbin and Helluva Boss, as most don't have current backstories, and some I had been able to imagine just a little more differently. I was particularly piqued to do for Vox and his assistant and Baxter, Velvette and Melissa, Valentino, Angel Dust, and Travis, and of course, one for Adam who would have been Issue #1 being first man and all.
The only page sample I managed out of that ambitious project. 12 pages, back-to-back if that ever becomes printed editions. You can imagine how that would take a while as well for each character!
Fusions
While the show is still ongoing, Dashi and I felt there could have been more characters. But even more selfishly, the concept of fusions had always intrigued me: To be able to explore the bond of two individuals in order to create a celestial being. Or to forcefully bond and create a monster of a force. Fusions can be a wonderful dance, or a tango lead by just one.
This was also a less pressuring way of making "love children" with my favorite ships, without slapping a fan child to them just like that. In Dashi's Michael case: his Michael has made a vow of abstinence, and Lute was more than happy to oblige with his terms!
Lute x Michael Fusion:
Modest Michael, Strong fighter Lute. She carries herself with a cunning grace, yet elegant in a dark heavenly way. Michael's comfort in letting Lute lead this fusion graces their bond together with a strong fallen angel of justice.
"She's like a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness 🐈⬛ 🐦⬛"
Adam and Lute fusion would be the byproduct of a forced bond, and one that overrides Lute's confort. This is what predicts the fusion's visual identity, and the headmaster of the dance. Unstable, but one of the stronger fusions.
A rock hottie powerhouse, he has the best fighters of Heaven under his belt. His showman ways are even louder than ever, even going as far to showcase both his bits (against Lute's wants of course, Adam finds humor in showcasing the beauty of her with his confidence.) Perhaps this way, Adam can finally get the numbers of the ladies with a lady's expertise in the host body...
Art Wips
This one is self-explanatory. Fan pieces that I did not get to finish for Michael/Lute, Alastor/Lucifer, and Adam/Lucifer. (And Lute by herself, too!)
I'm sorry the Alastor/Lucifer ones have to be heavily cropped lol!
Adam/Lucifer, for a zine I had to drop out of unfortunately due to time limitations :'> But also, an Adam and Abel for an au just for indulgence.
Thank you if you made it this far! Let me know if there is a concept or art that piqued your interest, too!
