I couldn't stay away but i swear I'm writing now. ANYWAY, These are the earliest development sketches for my Hellverse crossover AU and they're a bit dated now since i did this pretty early into my learning to draw Blitz. To put it simply my personal original concept of hell crossed with vivziepop's! I had to create imps that could fit into the concept, but I think I did a good job getting there. There is...so much lore for my hell so I don't think there's a post i could make that could summarize it BUT i will do as much as i can tolerate directly related to what's on the picture under the cut.
do not use with/in AI or reupload/edit my work.
Thank you!

I will do my best to write what's in the picture so you guys can follow that at least and don't have to rely on reading my writing (I will only type out the important things on the page, not every single note):
*A crossover of Helluva Boss and my original concept of hell. "Hellverse Crossover/Blitz" is how it will be referred to until further notice.
-EARLY DEVELOPMENT. STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS. no large fics will be made for this otherwise i would be writing for 20 years, so this will just be art stuff.
*Biggest detail: There is servitude that happens with lower class demons in my universe. It is not fetishized and you SHOULD NOT do so, it is viewed as something negative, kind of like the contract in helluva canon with Stolitz being a negative power dynamic. And of course, most of the time it is an extremely negative thing as slavery is. I try to treat it as sensitively as i can.
-Collars are basically ways of controlling them, and can hurt them if their owner chooses to do so with their magic. Normal collars = whatever. magic collars with branding = makes all lower class demons uncomfortable, unless they have an unhealthy mindset about it.™️
-Blitz has an accident in his troupe related to fire dance practice gone wrong instead of a birthday gone wrong but it doesn't change their relationship much from canon. This accident makes it impossible for Fizz and himself to continue being entertainers/performers (what is usually an exception to the lower-class demons are slaves rule). Ozzie steps in for Fizz, but Blitz is put up on auction as muscle; lucking out only enough for Stolas to buy him.
-Relating to his physical appearance the notes summarize to:
*Sharper scars due to the nature of the accident [Though, details are still being decided on and reworked] and quite a few more. His palms are white and the inside of his fingers as well, though he failed in shielding his face enough to spare him from getting scars there. Most of them are above the knees but that may change in development.
*His right (our left) horn has three gouges/crumble zones from the accident with discoloration around it, but it is minor, although a weak point he has to consider.
*It is common for demons in my version of hell to keep a source of concentrated magic they can pull from like a reserve, that is what his flame is. If he were to overexert himself, it will disappear. Magic is very minimal for him, but not nonexistent.
. -on this note: He's strong for his species because of his size and horns. He has less magic than the typical imp but he's physically stronger.
There are a few notes regarding my decision on his leg type. I eventually settled back on the original type he has in the show cuz it just felt the most right for him, and I love Blitz's original design. So, I figured there would be different ways I could get him doing more feral related activities without changing this and letting him have proper defenses.
*about the collar drawing: This is a future thing, not current. I may draw him with it, without it, or with his metal collar at anytime. Just know metal collar means = early, no collar = middle or far past, leather collar with crystal = future.
These collars are lightly imbued with heavenly metal and magic, just to make it harder to break BUT it is not entirely impossible since it is not literally just heaven metal.
These collars are typically combined with their owners magic, like a signature, with a 'key' that ties them together. They can directly hurt and even kill the demon wearing them if the owner chooses to do so.
the leather collar with the crystal in the future is simply a "security blanket" Stolas had made for Blitz, because he takes the collar removal in a not so mentally healthy way after having fallen in love with the owl over the years. Blitz doesn't like knowing he could just run off without the collar on -despite the danger it would have, it is possible- so he really appreciates this despite it not being the same. probably a lot of feelings to write about there but I'll cut it off here.
ONTO LORE!
-Imps are typically entertainers or farmers by default in my hell verse UNLESS they have been damaged, but farming is usually reserved for very specific imp types that aren't strong.
-He was never very good at entertainment but did decently at ribbon dancing & trapeze acts especially with someone else performing along side him. He barely managed to stay employed as is & constantly got threatened by his father that he would get rid of him if he didn't improve.
-Fizz was really good and despite the accident Ozzie ended up buying him but does not collar him unless he goes outside (which is for his safety).
-The 7 sins are just royal demons (like kings and queens of those sins under Lucifer) in this crossover because the 7 sins exist as something else in my hellverse. *we will return to this note in a moment
-Lucifer is still leader & most powerful/in charge technically but he isn't aware of the power disparity outside the ring he lives in (pride). As a result, servitude of lower class demons is kept on the down low because Lucifer banned the practice many many centuries ago.
*-The 7 sins are not characters, but essentially ancient curses. One or two of the 7 deadly sins from vivs may have these curses, but not all.
-Speaking of curses, all my demons have "minor" versions of the 7 sins as ailment curses. The most prominent are "Lust" and "Gluttony", which have a significant effect on day to day life. Lust is referred to as "the winds" because that is kind of how the ring is described in dante's inferno. Gluttony is directly related to their hunger for the food in hell, specifically raw fauna. Due to this, diseases from those creatures can carry to demons, and if not caught early enough, result in death.
*There is a "heat" which is basically the winds on turbo mode. it's not actually heat but it basically is, except it becomes painful due to the urgency.
*A demon will go wild/feral if they do not eat meat for long enough and can be killed by others as a result, so it's typically kept well under tabs so it doesn't happen. If they contract a disease, a similar end is met if they are found feral in the streets. Decontamination is in order when this happens, to prevent spread.
-See i said minor but these are considered minor only because everyone has them, not because they are not painful or deadly curses. _(:з)∠)_
-ALL DEMONS *CAN* DIE, just not from age. I'm undecided if I want demons and/or imps to be this way in this crossover because its pretty important in hazbin. idk.
-"Work" names are common, as true names give control over the owner of the name if used so to speak. details to be explained later maybe, but i don't think imps are allowed these. Stolas would have a different name likely, but use his original with Blitz after a while.
I think that covers what I have the patience to write down right now and what was on the picture lmao so there you go! your first intro to my hellverse crossover. I have a good few sketches and drawings but they will have to wait to post later.
as promised i'm posting it. The art i decided to do shortly after following a vent piece. I'll post it next just wanted to do this one first.
Wonder who bought him? If you read my other post you already know lol, this is the auction Hellverse blitz (HB crossed with my original hell universe) was sold at after the accident. consider this drawing the "starting point" for the story.
This is literally mere weeks after the fire, by the way. He's not coping well.
