Hair Tip #1 - When drawing hair, start with the hairline and hair part(s). Then keep the flow and volume in mind while you add details!
I’m not the best at drawing or painting hair, but someone on instagram requested that I make a post about it so hopefully this will help someone! This is the first of 3 tips I’m going to share.

Venom: First Host #3
The Venom baby is so cute; I’m dying
Guys. Jesus. I don’t know if this in anyway pertains to Hazbin but-
I was rewatching the newest Hazbin clip (thank-you vivziepop!) and I love that we got to see a glimpse of Charlie’s (possible) parents.
(Angel Dust just casually succin away)
And of course Alastor was an immense pleasure (that voice!!)
But back to Charlie’s parents. There’s a little speculation on whether or not the man depicted in the portrait is, in fact, Satan but given the apple symbolism we see throughout the hotel, it can be assumed (for now) that the dude in the picture is Satan.
(The forbidden fruit the “serpent” tempts Adam and Eve into eating.)
That’s all fine and well, but then I saw something else in the pictures hanging in the hall: Charlie’s mom. Lillith.
(ft. Alastor cuz I can)
Now given how much symbolism we see with the Apples, I got curious and wanted to know what the significance of Lillith was and…
You guys…
And in a few interpretations of the Ascension of Isaiah, Samael is often identified as Malkira, from Hebrew meaning “king of evil”! And, due to likely influences by the Quran, Samael is also equated as the serpent in Genesis, having disapproved the creation of man from dust Samael descended from heaven to seduce Adam and Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.
BUT WAIT! There’s more!
Now I’m not saying Charlie’s not theirs (the resemblances to her parents are striking enough) but I’m also not not saying that either! It’d explain why she’s different from other demons.
Also, beneath the family portrait we see “Magne Family, 1871”. I couldn’t figure out that significance until I put the names together.
Charlie Magne. Charlemagne. English translation “Charles the Great”.
(Charlemagne was a Frankish ruler in the 770’s til the 800’s who is known as the first recognized Emperor of Western Europe since the fall of the Western Roman Empire three centuries prior. He was also notibly known for uniting much of western and central Europe in the Early Middle Ages which prompted the furst Carolingian Renaissance, a time of cultural activity and cultural reinvention).
(Again, this could in no way pertain to any aspect of Hazbin Hotel and I could be spouting nonsense but man, this shit’s practically poetry! I hope we get to see some background on this.)
tl;dr: Charlie the Great has the archangel Samael (Satan) for a Dad and a child-snatching hussie named Lillith for a Mom.
I’ll see myself out of the Hotel now.
I already asked about Kim, but how would the GFH, old and new, feel about Cap in Dep's uniform?
All GfH reacting to Cap in Rook’s uniform
Sharky ~ He tears up and looks away, tugging his hat over his eyes. He walks off, mumbling about ‘hearing someone needing him’ even if no one’s around. If Cap asks what’s wrong, he’ll need a drink or a few but he’ll tell every stupid thing that he and Rook did
Hurk ~ He slows down whatever he was talking about and trails off before fiddling with something in his hands. If asked what’s wrong, he’ll simply say ‘someone awesome as balls wore that outfit’
Nick ~ He tears up and sniffles a bit before refocusing on a piece of machinery. He’s just got too many memories with Rook, he could talk about Rook for hours. He just has so much praise and respect for Rook
Jerome ~ He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes, saying a small prayer under his breath. He’s more than happy to share stories with Cap and has a sense of longing throughout the entire storytelling.
Pratt ~ He openly breaks down. Rook saved him and ended up being so close to him by the end of it, he can’t help it. He’ll tell stories if asked but he’s gonna need a box of tissues.
Judge ~ They go completely still and stare blankly at Cap. It makes Cap uncomfortable and Judge just reached out, gently patting their shoulder as they continue to stare. Cap isn’t sure what’s going on through their mind but they get a sense of longing and almost a sense of remembering another time from them
Grace ~ She can’t see the details, but she recognizes the folds and the sound of fabric. It brings a tear to her eye and she tugs her hat down to hide it. She’ll share stories if asked but she’ll need a drink during it
Nana ~ She didn’t meet Rook personally, but the others in the bunker with her shared stories of how Rook helped them in some way. She definitely respects them, though, even if she didn’t meet them.
Carmina ~ She obviously didn’t know Rook personally but her parents told her a lot of stories about them and how they delivered Kim to the midwife to birth her safely. She feels almost torn, though. Is wearing a replica of such a famous person’s outfit respectful or not?
Jess ~ The second she sees a practical stranger wearing that outfit, she tears up and starts wiping her cheeks as the tears roll. Rook helped her through so much and seeing that outfit again just brings back all the memories.
Gina ~ She didn’t know Rook, but she had heard of them through stories and rumors. She doesn’t really feel anything for them, they sounded awfully badass though and Cap’s badass so it suits them
Hudson ~ She tears up and sniffles several times before trying to contain herself. By the end of it, she was proud to stand side-by-side with them. She really trusted and cared for them.
Adelaide ~ She’s the most emotional out of the group, surprisingly. She starts crying and yells at them to take it off, it’s not theirs. Xander calms her down and guides her away while telling Cap it’s not their fault.
I discovered something useful today, taking breaks or exercising never helps me but THIS does, sharing to save a life
this is my own personal method and it might not guarantee results, but don’t overwhelm yourself and start small if the canvas is too intimidating. starting small also makes me more open minded to creating more dramatic poses. don’t overthink and have fun! hope it helps!
