Helluva Redesign - Blog Posts

Another au screenshot edit as I've been neglecting this place

I did Millie’s parents! I actually had some beta redesigns in my folders for a while now so it’s not like i had to work from scratch here. I change his legs to match Millie’s since i want imps to not have normal legs to separate them from succubi. Also gave him dark red skin since Millie has that too. And my lord i gave the poor man a neck

Side rant im really tired of these characters having an entirely red-yellow-black color palette. I understand its for the ring they reside in but my GOD does it make your designs boring after time. Please use more colors, keep the sky red but its so odd to see imo.

I’m struggling to figure out how skin patterns work here, I wasn’t a fan of the white being used for scarring. Like don’t get me wrong it’s SO COOL but it makes most of the colors palettes fall back on that red to white to black so decided to differentiate it.

White/black spots - these are birthmarks and skin colors, they occur naturally and aren’t through harm.

Slightly lighter/darker spots - these ARE scars and calluses, they’re notable through the fact that are only SLIGHTLY darker or lighter they will never be 100 percent white or black. They do however get lighter or darker depending on how much friction or harm is done repeatedly.

In joes case his “tattoo” on his arm is more of heavy scaring done to imitate a legitimate birth mark. This is common practice in the Wrath ring especially in rural areas. It’s not done often in most places however, as it makes the skin more tender than normal.

I actually really liked Lin’s originally design as they use more grey-blues and whites. Really makes her stick out in my eyes. I changed her legs as well but i also made them more cow-like in a sense to match her farmer girl background. And i made her spots more common around her body(okay but under the belief white is supposed to be scarred tissue, what in the world would give her spot scars in a farm?).

REALLY the only change aside from her legs i made was to her hair, i wanted her to really only vaguely look like Millie hence the lighter skin, so i made her short pixie shorter.

And some bonus cute of their younger selves!

If there’s a song i think really fits them its home by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, i listened to it on repeat while drawing them!
