The Character Design of Hazbin Hotel

The output of the animation studio Spindle Horse has rapidly gone from the personal OC playspace of an enthusiastic animator to a merchandise-funded animation empire, attracting attention and financing from A24 and Amazon, besides doing millions and millions of views on YouTube.

Hazbin Hotel, the animated musical series that was picked up by Amazon Prime and which probably introduced a lot of people to the sensibilities of the studio's output, is in my opinion kind of a 7/10 sort of show, but it has attracted a fanbase that operates on K-pop stan levels of intensity. This is usually a pretty good sign that something interesting is going on artistically, so... let's have a look, I guess?

They make me so sick (I would die for them)

every time i see one of those posts joking about the hh & hb specific color red or how everyone has a bow tie, stripes, and a suit, i giggle a little because it’s true—however, i’m not necessarily sure it’s a bad thing? it’s hell, and i think the main cast are meant to compliment that thru their colors. besides, it’s not as if i’m having trouble differentiating the characters and i do think the clothing, flawed in design as many characters are, for the most part reflects the aspects of that character. vox stands out so much from the main cast because he’s supposed to—it reflects his medium. idk i feel like the red identifies it as hazbin more so than being an active issue with the show. it’s like saying why does the first twilight movie have that blue filter-looking thing over everything. whether or not you agree that it looks good that’s just the show’s aesthetic coherence.
