I redesigned all of Hackbents Godtiers!
(and added in the official ones too haha!)
Now before you ask... no... I'm not going to make giant aspect sheets for these like I did for the official Homestuck godtiers... that was very exhausting...
BUT
I did take the time to make separate TEMPLATE VERSIONS of every godtier so that YOU CAN edit any class you'd like to whatever aspect you'd like. Go nuts! Go crazy! I'll sneak them down below this post.

Sure enough, I never did finish what I was going to do with these! I was going to write a whole post and design a bunch of potential looks, but basically the upshot of it is: “Isn’t it weird that the color and image symbolism in alien godtiers are easily translatable in human culture despite having minimal connection in their home territory?”
So I present to you, some alternative proposals for troll godtiers using colors and imagery that made a little more sense for their theme - using Time and Light as the examples. The idea was either they’d be entirely redesigned, or alternatively - perhaps they look different to the viewer. Godtier outfits already have magic pockets and the like, looking a little different when from a different session wouldn’t be a stretch after all.
Tbh I still really like the ideas I had come up with, so if this gets enough interest I may try to follow through with the rest I had in mind...
Design notes and planning under the cut:
LIGHT - I started here because objectively this seemed the most glaringly obvious as an inconsistency between Earth and Alternia.
symbol: replaced the sun for the two moons, for obvious reasons. I left the moons in the same color of the bigger pink moon for simplicity since symbols are all one color. If I’m honest, I don’t even know if the ‘Light’ aspect as we know it would even be called Light, I feel like the connotations could get a little lost since the relationship with light is different on Alternia. BUT, this was meant to be a quick sample exercise to prove a point, so I didn’t get too lost in the weeds for this.
color scheme: Since the Light aspect godtier for humans has colors associated with the sun and the sky, I naturally colorpicked some colors from the alternian sky, as well as brought back the green from the green moon, for these. I didn’t swap them all 1:1 so much as swap based on best color balance for the palette.
TIME - This seemed like the next big contradiction, if only because troll technology probably hasn’t seen a gear in its life. Rethinking this particular aspect was harder for a few reasons, but I feel like I made it work.
symbol: Since gears aren’t so prevalent in troll tech, I went for what is - grubs. This seems like a dicey swap since grubs are multipurpose in troll culture, but since Time is also about the life cycle, birth and death, a grub seems fitting for multiple nuances in the aspect it’s representing.
color scheme: This was where things got tricky and I began to realize perhaps this project would run into some bumps - the color scheme for troll tech is, not surprisingly, primarily purple, with some hints of green. Just as I had essentially done with Vriska. As you can see I had to do a couple runs with this one before settling on a palette order that stood out enough from Vriska’s, even if it does sacrifice the color balance of the base godtier.
HONORARY MENTIONS: aka ideas that never saw the canvas but I’ve had pinned in discord for 3 years now anyways
DOOM would probably be a refreshing break from purples, although the symbol wouldn’t get a lot of major changes unless I considered something else to represent it instead.
BLOOD would also be a nice break and probably have the most versatile palette options... Perhaps too versatile, so I eventually settled tentatively on hemoanon colors (so a lot of greys). I was never set on the sign unfortunately.
BREATH would be interesting to do a color palette swap for, but this is a case where I can’t imagine a reason to change the symbol, so it’d be less of a creative break from its roots.
RAGE.... Would stay Exactly the same.
VOID might be entirely turned on its head by referencing Alternia’s deadly daytime and excessively bright colors
And that’s as far as I got. If you read this far, thank you for doing so and I hope you enjoy!!

I've always wanted to make my own god tier redesigns, and I finally got around to it! Here they are :) (Credit appreciated but not required! I would love to see any art featuring these though)
I had to downsize the images to upload them, so I'm including a google drive link with the full size ones! (They are also on my DA!)
They all have a "masc" and "fem" version, so use whichever ones you prefer! Also, I used my own god tier color palette, but you can use whatever colors you want lol
