Honestly, I really enjoy seeing the redesigns of the characters, normally the artists just draw them for fun, or as an exercise, not because "I can do it better", and it's sad to see that they put lots of love into making their redesigns just for the toxic fans to attack them, saying that the designs sucks or that the artist hates the show...

Recently an artist made a new redesign of Angel Dust, posted it and lots of toxic fans attacked the artist insulting them, I understand why they don't want to make more redesigns, it's sad that someone makes something that they're proud of just to be torn apart by the toxic fans...

Let’s be honest here, the only reason why Viv’s fans attack anyone that draws redesigns is because said redesigns are better than the source material.

Why is that people who don’t work on the show get that Angel and Vaggie are supposed to have a spider and moth motif, but Viv (The person who created these characters.) doesn’t?

Even the people who don’t know anything about demonology get that Beelzebub makes more sense as a giant bee/fly than a sparkle dog.

Most animated shows have a bunch of character designers on staff, so they can share ideas when it comes to a character’s design.

But not Viv’s shows! Viv is only one who has final say on what the main cast should look like, while the character designers are only allowed to design a bunch of background incidentals, who end up looking a hell of a lot more appealing than the main cast.

If you’re an artist who enjoys drawing redesigns, please don’t let Viv and her fandom’s toxic behavior discourage you from doing what you love.

Yes, there are artists who only draw redesigns because they wanna “Fix” a certain design, and those assholes shouldn’t be given any attention, but most of the people who do redesigns of Viv’s characters do it for fun.

With that being said, if you are an artist who’s thinking about posting your Hazbin/Helluva redesigns online, please be aware that the fans will end up harassing you, so be careful out there.

Also, I don’t blame anyone who says that they don’t want to draw redesigns of Viv’s characters because of how toxic the fanbase is.
