  • So recently i made a video talking about some of the hazbin hotel redesign drama that was happening over on youtube and tumblr. This whole situation had died down quite a lot until the other day when a youtuber by the name of lavendertowne made a video jumping in on the topic

    I think many people fail to realize that artists have certain styles and personal ways of making things, just because something is very stylized doesn't mean it's necessarily "bad" it's just that person's style even if somewhat niche

      While people did take issue with the redesign, one of the biggest reasons the video got so much hate was the creators complete lack of research into the show. She claimed to watch it and yet one of her alterations to Charlie's design was to add horns because "it's weird she didn't have horns in the show as a demon".
      She showed a complete disregard for the source material and trashed on the designs with blatantly false information and was poorly researched.
      It's one thing to criticize a design choice. It's another entirely to be entirely wrong about an observation and try and "fix it".

    It is okay to redesign the characters. It is never okay to be an obnoxious and saying that your redesign is way more preferable than the original canon design in a rude way. I made my redesign of characters from other shows. I’m not an obnoxious. I love doing redesign for fun. If it’s actually my style, I still do it for fun and not being obnoxious.
    Note: I made this comment for everyone, including the people that are redesigners.

      This the problem when Lavender took off the video instead of pin a comment under it. People start to interpret with little information still circulating around. She was not obnoxious but you can tell easily she likely did not watch the entire show or did not really like the show so paid vey little attention when watching that made Lavender really not in a good position to make constructive criticism.

    For me I think the main reason why a lot of people hate redesigns so much is because most (not all, just a good chunk of them) do the redesigns without even knowing the story first. So when they show their new designs, a lot of the needed themes and references are just gone and the character would no longer make sense within the context of the story.
    If we compare Alastor original to her redesign, you will not be able to tell he was the radio demon, losing his iconic mic and vintage aesthetic. He instead looks like a talk show host or reporter with a more modern or retro look. Not really fitting his "radio demon" title. Even more so, Alastor having deer antlers would mostly be a refrenced to him being a cannibal. Here being represented that hes a wendigo. A monster (usually with a deer theme) who eats people.
    So her redesigns dont really sound like "I think would be better for the show" but more "I saw this in the internet and didnt like it, so heres a better version that I did" kind of thing.

    I think redesigns are fine as a small exercise to do to test yourself and see how you can use your art style, but when you start acting like you somehow know better then person who actually drew them with their own vision and style in mind thats when its a problem.

    The fact she not only rushed the video but mistook fanart for official art is baffling considering the show has been out for a few months. She had plenty of time to watch it in full, and that would've absolutely helped her in redesigning the characters.
    Like I'm not going to act like Vivzie's designs are 100% perfect but she clearly tries to be clear with what her inspirations for her character designs are and her silhouettes are distinct. There's more I can say about Vivzie's designs, good and mediocre, but I hope my point is clear.

      That video was definitely one that was more for business purposes than actual inspiration. She probably wasnt a huge fan of the show to begin with but saw it was getting traction so decided to make a quick video to draw people to her channel, only for it to backfire. While she should have done a bit more research before jumping into making that video, i cant really blame her for trying to make a quick buck off of something that’s trendy. Content creators, especially art ones, need to always jump on new trends or their channels will die. And tbf, she is a full time youtuber and comic creator, so watching the show might not exactly fit into her schedule.

    The color palette in Hazbin Hotel being repetitive does bother me but if I were to redesign characters I'd stick to their themeing and just attempt to use various shades or just experimenting with various color pallets. Although, I don't draw. I do coloring, inking, and calligraphy so I don't think I have the right to talk about redesigning or redrawing characters to be more appealing to certain people. Since everyone will have a varying opinion about what is and isn't good character design.

Like, some of the feedback is actually valid, and treating Vivzie like an inerrant deiety is simply toxic. yapping about how vaggie can't be thick because she's an exterminator or about someone removing an obscure detail on a design that was brought up in a livestream isn't viable, because not everybody knows every single obscure bit of lore, and it doesn't detract from the visual storytelling when there are more obvious and less eyestraining ways to do it.

It's sacrificing visual appeal for the sake of making the designs less convoluted when these two things should be able to coexist.

    Any redesign made with malicious intent is going to be ugly to me. Doesn't matter how good it looks, if it is genuinely an improvement or not, it is going to be soured by the negativity behind it. You could have spent that energy making positive art for something else, so you wasted both our time with this.

      You shouldnt watch LovesArt123 then, she has this weird high and mighty tone when shes talking about the show, she’s even redesigned most of the Hellaverse and basically ripped out what Viv and her team made and replaced them with generic and baldy proportioned with bad color schemes, she also claims that she’s “fixing” Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, I was subscribed to her for a while but i unsubscribed because of how she was talking so much shit about the designs and the shows

      I watched the video and she spent most of the time pointing out(not bashing) some of the very reasonable flaws( everyone has the same colour palette, same body type etc) and made a quick rough drawing at the end there was not a bit of snark or rude comment at all,
      She had to take down the video due to toxic HH fans but unfortunately that caused a snowball of miscommunication.
      She is a professional artist,she apolized, watched the full show, researched lore and already has a new video out with much better drawing and really cool lore details too.
      So pls for the love check it out before you decide to bash her

    Thank you for making this video! As a fan of Lavendertowne, I was a little worried when I saw your title, but you handled the situation well and weren't overly negative. I was wondering why the video had been taken down, and this was a good explanation
