'Loser, baby' is one of my favourite songs in Hazbin Hotel. Husk and Angel have such a cool chemistry on screen, and the development of their relationship is interesting and engaging.
I've been meaning to do a drawing showing my favourite moment of the song for a long time.
Creating a drawing with these two in my style was really very cool.
If I were to draw them again, I think I would work on Angel's look, because there are a few things that don't work for me….
But for that I'm proud of Husk!
I hope we get to see them officially become a couple in season 2 <3
They are so cute <3

Thoughts about Alastor after the episode "Hello, Rosie"
Tumblr media
Perhaps first such a small summary for those who haven't read my previous posts about Alastor.
Alastor's deal with someone has worked out. Officially we don't know with whom, but my theory is that it is Lilith.
Alastor is obliged by the contract probably to help/protect Charlie. His intentions are not clear, and he harbours many secrets.
He is not fond of Lucifer. Theories are that he either sees him as a threat to Charlie's hotel and dreams, or he is redirecting negative emotions about his own father and how Lucifer treated Charlie onto him.
Alastor enjoys being in the company of women and probably likes/appreciates Charlie. Perhaps he sees himself as her mentor.
His help, although chaotic and initially incomprehensible seems to be having an effect and actually helping the hotel and Charlie.
Alastor has a weakness for jazz and alcohol, but we don't see him ever drinking alcohol in the series.
His enemy is Vox, but he is more annoyed by Lucifer (probably because he is stronger than him).
Alastor doesn't like to lose or be wrong.
Here you have a link to previous thoughts if you are curious.
Alastor’s true motivations? - Why is he helping Charlie?
Dad beat Dad - Alastor, what the hell are you doing?
Traditionally, there are loads of spoilers here!
From the outset, Alastor seems interested/intrigued by Charlie sitting in the room and spinning another plan. Clearly he saw an opportunity in. Charlie was alone, so he could talk to her in peace. A plan was already forming in his head.
On Instagram, one girl made a fair analysis of Alastor's facial expressions. What expression on his face signifies what emotion. Which proved to be very helpful in understanding him! Here you have ig: @/sasha_draws.bg She did a really great job! But back to Alastor.
When Alastor feels some negative emotion, lines/wrinkles appear under his eyes. Which is true when you pay attention to the previous episodes, but in this 'Hello, Rosie' it is particularly noticeable.
For most of the time in this episode, Alastor seemed concerned to me.
When Alastor was talking to Charlie I had the impression that he was provoking her. He made Charlie painfully aware of how badly her plans had failed, which seems cruel. Initially this could be understood as simply an opportunity to take advantage of Charlie and make a deal, but I think this is just an added benefit. Alastor is bound by his contract to the hotel and Charlie, so he can't leave her. But Alastor has besides made Charlie realise that she can't idly brood on the bed because she doesn't have that luxury. Her friends were waiting for a plan, they were waiting for Charlie.
Charlie gave up at that point, and Alastor made her realise that there was still a chance to make things right somehow. He exasperated her, and showed her that she couldn't give up - in a rather cruel way but still, it's not always kind words or words of support that help you up.
Sometimes the painful realisation of the truth is the best motivator to undertake change.
For a moment, Alastor seemed annoyed that Charlie thought she had him figured out because she smiles all the time. He made her realise that the opposite is true.
A smile can be a weapon on many fronts. You could say that he gave Charlie some cue about his own behaviour. His lecture about smiling shows a lot about him.
Alastor hides a lot - his emotions, motivations or goals. He revealed to Charlie that he himself puts on a mask. The smile gives Alastor a sense of control.
The question is, isn't Alastor also lying to himself in this way?
He is creating himself as a cruel overlord, a person without a conscience who inflicts suffering on others for fun. It makes me wonder if he hasn't started to believe himself in the character he wants to pretend to be?
Nevertheless, no matter how good Alastor's goals may be attributed to him, or that his actions have a good effect on the hotel and Charlie, he still made a deal with her. He was aware that Charlie would not give up her soul to him and would not do anything against herself. Their deal is that Charlie is to help him like friend to friend when he needs it without hurting anyone, and he will give her information. Quite a specific arrangement and very narrow. To me their deal is a bit of a lifeline for Alastor when he finds himself trapped by his own contract.
[As an aside, I've noticed that a lot of people think that the stitches appearing on Alastor's lips are a sign that he can't talk about his deal. I doubt this because of the design of his character. Alastor was shown at many points to be dealing with voodoo or somehow connected to it. This is indicated by the green symbols that appear when he uses his powers, and the stitching that appears on his mouth probably refers to the very design of the voodoo dolls, which also had their mouths stitched in this way. Ironically in my opinion, voodoo is generally good magic, focusing on healing or helping, which doesn't really fit Alastor. Unless one considers the distinction between white and black magic as it is known in New Orleans. But I also point out that I'm not an expert, but I'm just partly familiar with the subject of voodoo and just wanted to show a reference to Alastor's appearance here].
I think Alastor's worry or uncertainty is most evident when he leads Charlie to Rossie. You can see the look on his face and those wrinkles under his eyes. This could be interpreted as:
he's upset that the angels are about to exterminate in the hotel and the only person who can oppose it is preoccupied with his love problems rather than more important matters.
He is upset/worried that he realises he won't be able to help Charlie this time, so he leads her to the only person who is more knowledgeable about love than him: Rossie.
He is nervous because he sees that he might fail if the hotel is destroyed, and that this might somehow breach his contract.
Alastor and Rossie seem to have a very intimate relationship, which was implied in the episode " Scrambled Eggs" when they were at the Overlords meeting. Now we have confirmation that they are very close friends. Rossie can afford a lot in Alastor's company and he allows her to do so. It also seemed to me that when he met Rossie he relaxed a bit, as the wrinkles under his eyes disappeared for a few scenes.
All in all, I'm not surprised that Alastor and Rossie are friends.
Rossie is the opposite of Alastor in a way. She seems transparent in her feelings and genuinely cares about her cannibals. But she also has the strength and power to allow herself to do so. Alastor, on the other hand, plays and hides emotions all the time, and gains power through fear. Despite this, he gets along very well with Rossie, which may mean he's not quite what he makes himself out to be.
I also think that Rossie's words about it being actions that show true nature and feelings may apply to Alastor and his role in season two in the future. But we can already see this now, for example, in the fact that his duet with Lucifer, where Alastor sang that he wanted to replace Charlie's father, ultimately led to a reconciliation between daughter and father which Alastor seemed to be happy with.
We also have it made clear that Alastor is asexual.
Rossie commented that Alastor could learn manners from Charlie. It is possible that what is meant is that when someone annoys Alastor, he does not mince his words. He makes his opinion clear - Susan is a perfect example of this.
Alastor and Rossie really seem close to each other, such as when they look at each other when Charlie panics, or how they dance with each other or their negativity towards Susan. Additionally, Alastor must have had a close business relationship with Rossie since she had an assignment for him and when she said that he never let her down. I got the impression that this gave him considerable satisfaction. Plus it helped the image he wanted to create for Charlie - that he was reliable.
Alastor also seems to put his faith in Charlie after all. Rather than believing in her plan of salvation for sinners, he believes more in the girl's ability to draw crowds and motivate people to action other than through fear or deals. It is hard to say whether he admires this trait of Charlie's, but he certainly appreciates her for it.
Alastor supported Charlie during her song when she had to convince the cannibals to fight - either by giving her the microphone or showing her a thumbs up. I further related that he was slightly worried/nervous, but also pleased after seeing his actions bear fruit.
Alastor also made it clear to Rossie that he valued Charlie and expected nothing less from her than to thrill the crowds. But the important thing is that he referred to her as the Princess of Hell, not Charlie. Alastor has made it clear for the first time that he wants to fulfil Charlie's potential, this shows that despite the faith he has in her, he still only sees her as the Princess of Hell and not Charlie as someone who is more than just a princess.
A break for now, as it's quite late at my place, so expect the rest of the analysis tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the furthest.

Hey, guys! 🎨✨ I wanted to share with you my latest drawing that I'm very proud of!
I feel like my skills have increased after Inktober!
The new episode "Helluva Boss" was simply amazing. "Mammon's Magnificent Musical" sparked my imagination. 😍🎬
Very cool to watch the relationship between Fizzarolli and Asmodeus. 🌈💑 Their relationship is full of support and deep love. The end of the episode just enchanted me, and that's when I felt I had to reach for the stylus and let the inspiration work! 🚀🔥 Here's the result - I hope you like it too! 🤗🖌️
➡And what did you guys think of my drawing? Did I manage to capture the magical relationship between Fizz and Ozzie? 🎉💬

Alastor is a character I really like. Not only for the mystery we see in the series, but also for his design <3
Alastor resembles a deer, and I think deer have something dark and disturbing about them which is perfect for Alastor's character.
Certainly, the deer antlers that hang at my grandmother's house did not contribute to this….
I'm a horror fan and I listen to creepypastas or other scary stories to sleep, so it's no wonder I like Alastor so much.

And here are some small thoughts on the Hazbin Hotel finale! So much has been going on that I'm having trouble getting my emotions and thoughts together! It came out really great!
And if you're curious then beware because there are spoilers below!!!
So many things to think about and analyse after the Hazbin Hotel final!
Lilith - and her lounging on the beach in (presumably) heaven. She didn't seem happy to be interrupted by Lute. But how? What is she doing there? From Lute's words, it seems that Lilith had some sort of deal with Adam, who, through his death and Charlie's antics, their deal lost its power. It's hard to say what that might be about, because I find it hard to believe that Lilith would just lie back and have a go at everything. She loved The Hell and from the pictures you can see in the series she cared about her family. Maybe she made a deal with Adam to walk away from her family and go back to Adam and he wouldn't touch Charlie and Lucifer?
Sir Pentious - just excellent character development. Vivzie did a nice number with his story. Death. He dead in the name of friendship and his values. He experienced redemption! And everyone was betting that Angel Dust would be first XD But Sir Pentious deserved it. I'm sure the rest of the hotel team will find out very soon that Pentious is alive. Emily I'm counting on you! Sera's face was priceless!
Vaggie and Carmila's song was beautiful and wonderful. And I like how Charlie and Vaggie's love is so pure. They have something really special and strong.
Rosie was great too! I didn't expect her to be so charming and supportive. I'm not surprised that Alastor likes her.
Alastor… My favourite deserves a separate post to analyse his behaviour. But there we have it! Alastor is on a leash! He's got a deal that scares him and he's trying to get away from it. But I am increasingly doubting that he is relying on Charlie's help…. Al seemed terrified, although it's hard for me to tell at the moment in these emotions whether he was terrified by the very deal he'd made, or that the deal was taking away his freedom. It seems to me that Alastor craves power and authority, but rather not because he is narcissistic. It's more because more power might give him the ability to break this deal.
Just who did he make it with that it scares him so much? My theory was Lilith, but it's hard to tell now…. We just don't know what Lilith is like and we don't know her motivations, so it's hard to say if she was the one who made the deal with Alastor. If so, what is the true nature of this deal? I think the favour Charlie has with Alastor will be related to his deal. Maybe he will ask her to help him break it? After all, Charlie is a princess of hell, maybe she has the power to break such a deal?
Alastor also seems to be attached to the other residents of the hotel. He is changing! Perhaps he is mellowing through Charlie and becoming slowly good, or at least less cruel?
And his relationship with Niffty is just adorable!
The next season promises to be really exciting. There will definitely be more of Vox, Valentino and Velvette battling for power. Lilith will be back, there will be a new hotel…. There's so much going on!
I can't wait for the next season! As for Alastor, when the excitement subsides and I calm down a bit I'll be sure to analyse our radio demon in detail.

Leshy - God of Chaos
It's time for Leshy's official project!
Tumblr media
The youngest of the siblings and the youngest bishop
He was born after the Great War of the Gods and has only heard about it from the stories of his older siblings
He is chaotic and full of energy. He does whatever comes into his head without worrying about the consequences.
He loves spending time with his siblings, with Narinder being the one he looks up to the most.
He considers himself the master of pranks. His victim most often is Kallamar.
He rules over plants and his rituals are most often related to them. He knows every plant and its use.
He maintains his own garden where he experiments with plant species. He often gives plants to Heket, who makes various concoctions or spices from them.
The twigs on Leshy's head change with the seasons. In winter its twigs languish and there are no leaves on them. In spring they are full of camellias, in summer they are covered with green leaves and in autumn they change colour.
I'm going to have to create some sort of masterpost for COLT, because I'm slowly creating a story and have a bunch of ideas.
I think an Au will be created out of it, but I haven't come up with a name yet. I have an idea for the Bishops story, which will be partly shown in the Heket and Margo story.
I also have the history of Bertie's cult written down. Lots of history and an idea for my own OC.
I have a lot of ideas and I hope I can make them happen.
Fan fiction about Heket will premiere on Thursday <3

I am trying to work out what my Heket will look like.
So far these are sketches, although I really like her face 🥰
I'm thinking of adding some patterns/tattoos on her body. Then I'll have to design her outfit, and that will definitely be difficult....
Then I'll tackle the rest of the bishops. I think the next one will be Leshy.

I think Rick and Diane are my new comfort characters. Drawing them is very comfortable and gives me a lot of joy ^^
I think when Rick was working in the garage on some experiment Diane sometimes liked to get in his way.
Diane seems like the type of person who would be more open with her feelings. She probably made it clear how much she cared about Rick.

Cult of the Lamb - Au
For now still nameless au/story.
I'm thinking of a title, but for now I have a blank in my head.
In total, I have three main story ideas:
"Nothing Becomes Five" - would focus on the story of Shamura and how they became God of War, and how Shamura met her siblings. I already have part of the concept written, and I think I'll make it into a comic book. But I don't know yet, it depends on how time permits.
"(Un)Mortal love". - This is a story I am currently writing, focusing on the story of Heket and Margo. The time of the plot is from when Heket became a bishop until her death by Lamb.
Heket will soon become a Bishop. Absorbed in preparations for her first sermon, she tries to impress her older siblings. Ever since they found her, she has dreamt of becoming like them - powerful gods. Unfortunately, preparing for her first sermon is not as easy as she would like, and her stubbornness prevents her from asking other gods for help. A snow-white fennec fox, Margo, stands in her way and Heket's life takes on new colors. A feeling emerges that she has not known before. Will Heket be able to love a mortal with all the consequences? Will the Goddess of Hunger survive the worst possible betrayal or will she lose herself?"
Chapter 1
AO3.
Cult of Bertie - the story of Bertie and how he fought the bishops + plus comical anecdotes from the life of followers.
I foresee drawings and short comics from this
Drawings:
Adorable Narinder
Character designs:
Leshy - God of Chaos (Appearance before Narinder's betrayal)
Lambert aka Bertie (Cult Leader)
Sketches:
Leshy (draft)
Heket (draft)
Narinder (draft)
Kallamar (draft)
Shamura (draft)

I managed to design the appearance of Narinder before the collapse. I like it a lot because I was a bit afraid if it would come out as good as I saw it in my imagination. Fortunately, I managed to do it.
Tumblr media
I hope that Nari resembles the Maine Coon a little bit. Before his imprisonment, I see him as a character with a rather massive physique. He is the only one whose height matches Lesha's.
Narinder would wear clothes that are practical yet richly decorated. He would have a good relationship with each of his siblings, but would be closest with Shamura and Heket.
Narinder holds Kallamar in high esteem, but likes to make fun of him along with Leshy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I still have an idea of Narinder's appearance after joining Bertie's cult. After all, hundreds of years of imprisonment must have taken a toll on his health, he can't look as good as he looks now.

This chapter is entitled "What kind of father are you when you don't know anything about your children?"
Splinter and his family got into quite a bit of trouble. The mutant family was found by a police officer. It was only through luck that they managed to get out of the situation unscathed. Unfortunately, their hiding place was found. They have to flee and find a new shelter. Will Splinter manage to keep his family safe when it turns out how little he knows about raising children?

You don't even know how happy I am publishing this part ^^ I had a bit of a hard time getting behind it. Such a little crisis I had, but it passed. I really like how these pages came out nicely, until I'm proud of it.

I've been meaning to draw this for a long time! Luckily I managed to find a moment between drawing the comic and the rest of my errands to draw this little masterpiece <3 I experimented a little bit with new brushes in the critters for this work. I managed to try out some other ink-like brushes. I'm very proud of this work!
I think the end result is great because I can't take my eyes off this drawing.
I love the outfit design for Charlie in the final episode!
Yes, I know. I forgot about the tail. I only realised after I'd finished drawing it. But let's acknowledge that from this perspective, you just can't see it XD

Work on the comic is moving forward slowly but surely. This is important.
I'm happy that I manage to keep 2 updates a month.
But back to this part.
"Splinter went into town to get some more supplies for the winter. He left his little boys alone in their new hiding place. What is it that can happen when children are left alone?
How will Raphael cope with his new challenge?"

I recently started writing a story about Heket in my spare time. I couldn't help but draw one of my favorite scenes from the first chapter.
Shamura supporting their little sister Heket. I think it's adorable. I see Shamura as a person who would support their siblings no matter what. They would be supportive of them, even if they seemed distant at times.

Coming up with the design for Kallamar was a nightmare. I wanted his head not to look weird.
I wanted it to look serious yet elegant at the same time. I had a lot of ideas, but none really appealed to me. Something was missing, something didn't fit….
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I had a few ideas, but in the end I decided on this one. And with the outfit I didn't have much of a problem.
What do you think?

The next one will be Shamura!

I've been rallying to buy Cult of The Lamb for a long time and I just can't get away from it anyway.
It's been a long time since any computer game has drawn me in so much ^^
Plus it has inspired me <3
I couldn't resist drawing my version of The Lamb. It was also a fun break from other projects - and maybe that will turn into another project too….
I've been very drawn into the fandom.

Guys! Guys! Guys!
Who thinks Narinder came out adorable?
Tumblr media
I think Narinder as a young god was curious about everything. He liked to learn and that's why he was Shamura's favourite. They saw potential in him and rekindled his ambition. At that time, Shamura did not yet have a vision about Narinder attacking the rest of the bishops.
This moment shows Narinder during one of his expeditions with Shamura. They often took Narinder on expeditions and showed him new places they had discovered. Nari always listened intently because he found it interesting what Shamura was telling him and the fact that he could listen to his older siblings. He felt special then.
I've been so drawn into COTL that I've started working on not only the Heket and Margo story (I've got one of the 4 acts written out and may be able to write the first chapter soon), but I've also started writing out the lore for Bishops .
I have an outline of the general story - mainly the part with Shamura and some major events. Makes me wonder if you guys would be interested in the story ….
