My re-redesign of Angels dust’s 2nd outfit! This one is for work (I don’t really like the heels probably gonna change that in future)
I think it would be cool if Angel wears clothes meant for work and he wears them even at home but as he spends more time at the hotel slowly he starts to add his own accessories and style to his outfits until he wears his own clothing not what Val chose for him. It would show he’s beginning to separate himself from Val visually.
and since theyre the first sinner ive posted, they get a human design!
rambling under the cut
(if my handwriting in the second image is unreadable you can check the id)
-angel dust was a sinner that died in 1948. they were a member of a large mafia family and led a secret life as a drag queen
-they were born into the family, and were unable to leave bc. you know. life of crime
-much of their family looked down on them and mocked them bc of their feminine mannerisms
-they had a particularly bad relationship with their father, who saw them as a failure of a son
-so they turned to drag and underground queer clubs instead (angel dust was their drag name that they adopted full time after dying, anthony was their "real" name)
-they also turned to cocaine, often stealing from their family's stash
-their death happened because they were lousy hiding the tracks of their theft- the family got a tip off that angel had been stealing and that they were currently in an aforementioned queer club
-mafia family storms the queer club, angel comes out off their head on cocaine, their father finds then and shoots them in the chest before slamming their head against the wall repeatedly, killing them
-their and all of their family's (except their sister) demon forms are spiders, symbolising the web of lies they spun😎 because angel died in drag they also have a much more feminine demon form
-they enjoyed life in hell for a while, but soon enough other members of their family started dying and began looking for them. this caused them to flee to the nearest hiding space they had, a place called Valentino's that promised a safe haven against any threats
-as we know this promise is absolute bullshit
-angel signed the contract that allowed them entry to valentino's. they were panicked and signed it hastily, not looking at the fine print.
-they become trapped at valentino's, forced to be a prostitute
-until valentino himself visits and likes the look of angel, deciding that he wants angel for himself
-he takes on angel as a prostitute/porn star/stripper/whatever valentino wants them to be today, with valentino abusing them behind the scenes
-valentino lovebombs them often, buying them expensive gifts they are required to wear and feeding their drug habit
-despite being famous, most of the money angel makes goes straight into valentinos pocket. this is what leads them to finding charlie's hotel, as they do not have enough money to pay rent and the happy hotel offers free accommodation.
-angel's best friend is cherry bomb, an anarchist who wants nothing more than to free them- but she has no money, no connections and is banned from most places on sight due to her habit of blowing stuff up. when angel dust gets sad and mopey, she gets angry for them
-angel uses they/them, but hell isnt the most progressive place, so few demons use it for them. they dont really care though, they have bigger things to worry about
-they actually physically cannot harm valentino, as part of their contract states that any harm valentino goes through also happens to them
-they like to keep up with the latest trends, and have a decent sinstagram following
-they are hypersexual due to trauma
-i think thats it. if i forgot smth im gonna be so mad

I’m SO happy with how he turned out this time, especially the colors!!! I used references from his older designs when he had more muted colors, and took a little inspo from a couple of other redesigns, namely Lovesart23 and FatRatBaby on Twitter ✨🖤
Here’s the side-by-side comparison with the first design I posted back in March of last year so you can see the differences :P (new version’s jacket is a lil darker cuz it decided to fuck up the colors but everything else is the same lmao)
wanted to take a crack at redesigning angel dust and landed more in the realm of a refinement pass instead. angel, to me, is the most compelling character in the cast-- huge missed opportunity to not make him the protagonist, frankly.
i think his design is already pretty iconic, like it or not, so there's really only so much i personally would change... even so, a lot of thinking went into this!
AHHHH HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGEL *collapses on the floor and dies* 🎉💗
(Have a Huskerdust animatic with overlord husk au ! Wooooo!!!11! I have come up with so much lore and story for this au during my creation of this animatic it’s insane, PLEASE ASK ME ABOUT IT !) I’m insane about them.
But now I have some notes about my feelings and progress of this animatic it’s a bit long but i would be great full if y’all read it.
Ok so my 1st fully fledged animatic has been very grueling but l've learnt so much with it
don't animate on procreate it's hell, and I need to find a better program to animate on (cause I wanna try and make more animatics in the future. Please suggest some apps to me )
I don't have to be as meticulous or nit picky about everything since it kinda makes my art look stiff and not dynamic like my sketches
Animatics CAN LOOK ROUGH (being rough doesn't make it bad, sometimes it makes it more fluid)
I really want to experiment with more dynamic camera shots and movement.
That being said I didn't want to switch up the style at the end of the animatic so I stuck with the stiff style, and this being my first actual long form animatic (not counting a couple of the more tiktok-esque Steddie ones | made) I'm still kinda proud??q!! Even though it's not how l imagined it to look like
TLDR: this is my first actual animatic, I have no animation background and don't know what I'm doing.
Nevertheless I'm so proud of what I made, but still wanna make more less refined animatics in the future, and I want to allow myself to play around with more movement
I keep thinking about him and im like “man he looks really sad for 37” and then I remember thats just my headcanon and Vivzie actually draws him like hes twelve and I get mad
I will post more long content and hatred soon I promise
For my few followers who are here for the Hazbin Hotel content, I offer thee an appetizer. There will probs be more of these. Velvette is a chameleon now bc I said so.
