Decided to commit to the urge and doodle @ocelot-t's tasty killer artist, aka Decay au. I mean, who could resist some décadence/vanitas atmospheric au with partners in crime radiorose, 'do or die' Husk and art?? Not me 👁

[ocelot-t]

This could be called Husk's payment for being the only one aware of their relationship. Well, he might not have shown them that he knew: he would not have been caught between these two jealous people, he would not have spent time, money and nerves on them.

Al, out of habit, dropped by Husk's place after a nervous day: his drawing at the Academy had been torn up, so he'd have to start over and probably stay up for a couple of nights because of it. Also, the reprimand for absenteeism and problems at work with the boss seemed to test his mental strength. And Husk, already pretty exhausted, was about to close and was not happy to stay even for 10 minutes. Word by word, they fought.

Later, Rosie arrived. late night, as always, so as to avoid prying eyes, because the last thing the daughter of a famous artist needs is rumors about how often she visits a dubious establishment on a street corner where alcohol can be obtained. The girl's reputation in the bohemian crowd is a little different, and she hasn't been allowed to drink alcohol for some time already. She didn't have time to go in, as she had to calm the boys down.

Next, Rosie treated Alan, Husk treated himself. They drank at the same time, because it distracts from the pain and because Rosie didn't go to Husk just to say hello. And then there's her boyfriend hanging around, and she could have some fun. Husk was still hoping to leave before one o'clock in the morning and was already thinking when these two would deign to go to hell, he went to pour out a basin of water and blood and put away the first-aid kit. He's back— these two are making out drunk. More content. more comics, more information about AU

Hazbin Hotel Human! AU

I really wanted to draw Rosie as human and as well the others! ✨I really love a good human AU in Hazbin Hotel especially when it’s about niffty, husk and Alastor! There aren’t as many fanfics as I wish there was :0 but I read some good stuff. Guys, I am totally obsessed with this show and some certain characters.

(In my best bill nye the science guy impression): CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING…

marry me…? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Fr though I love your art so much, makes me want to draw more in general. The sillies make me so happy. Just out of curiosity, have you thought of doing human husk? Maybe not while Al was alive but he is still connected to him pre hotel like mimzy, niffty, and rosie are.

Ma boy was requested a few times so I had to do him XD

Not gonna lie, I've struggled with human Husk design because I couldn't picture him clearly in my head, but gladly, there's one beautiful man, Keith David, who's voicing him :D Also, I couldn't shake the feeling that the 1920s–1930s might suit Husk better than the 1970s, but who am I to judge.

I've tried to combine the 'round' and 'sharp' shapes of his original demon design, don't know if I'm satisfied with the result. Maybe I'll change something, but for now, it is what it is.

Husk

Design notes and headcanons under the cut

Husk always struck me as the type that should be more stocky and broad. And he should have a beer belly, since alcoholism is a significant character trait of his. He's a fat cat. He has a few grey streaks in his hair to hint at his age. His clothes are more tattered to represent both his loss of power and his deal with Alastor. And his colors are duller after he lost his overlord status.

Older versions of his character portrayed him as a magician, and I really liked the idea of him using his magician skills to cheat at cards, which is why he got into gambling.

Generally speaking, his canon design is too busy and I simplified it. I didn't really understand why he had wings. Thematically, there's no reason for it and they overcomplicate the design. Instead, I gave him a magician's cape to reference his magician background. His hands are white to resemble the gloves magicians wear. The shirt helps to separate his dark fur from his pants, so they don't blend together too much.

He has card suit symbols integrated into his design. I didn't think to add a shirtless version here(if I get around to it, I'll update this with one), but he does have a spade pattern on his chest. You can see the tip of it around his collar. His nose is shaped like a heart, his tail has a diamond shape, and the paw pads on his hands and feet are clubs.

Human-

He was born in 1907 and died in 1975 at age 68 from liver failure. It's popular for people to design him as black, but I headcanon him with either Slavic or Jewish Russian ancestry. He's lived in the US his whole life though. The chipped tooth sorta just happened and I liked it. It kind of resembles his demon form's cat teeth.

He became a magician and used his skills in sleight of hand to cheat at cards. He became involved with a gambling syndicate in Las Vegas. And he was a heavy drinker(hence his eventual liver failure).

Is he a war veteran? Lots of people headcanon Husk as a Vietnam War veteran. But I'm not sure that works very well. At least, not with my headcanons. The draft for Vietnam went on between 1964-1973. Husk would have been 57 in 1964, and the number of Baby Boomers meant the draft could make more exceptions than in previous wars. So Husk was not involved with Vietnam.

But the draft for WW2 required all men 18-64 to register between 1940 and 1946. There are a few nuances, such as the required ages being narrower at the beginning of that time, but they ultimately don't matter here. Husk was in his 30s through the entire draft period. So unless he had a reason to be exempted, or he dodged the draft, he was probably going. But Husk doesn't actually strike me as a shell shocked veteran. So I'm leaning toward him being a draft dodger.

Syndicat the Gambling Overlord-

While doing Mafia research for Angel Dust, I came across a mention of gambling syndicates in Las Vegas. I realized it fit Husk's background, and decided his name before Husk could be Syndicat. I thought the cheesiness of it wasn't out of place. So here we are.

His magician life led him to gaining magician(mostly cards) related powers. He gambled for souls and won his way to Overlord and ran a gambling syndicate. But he got cocky and others started to catch on. They did different types of gambling that didn't involve things he could easily cheat in. He started losing bets, and he was too proud and addicted to cut his losses. Plus, he was the Gambling Overlord, he couldn't stop gambling!

Eventually Alastor showed up and challenged him to Syndicat's specialty: poker. The offer was practically too good to be true. They were gambling all the souls they owned(their own souls were implied to be included). If Syndicat won, he'd have the collective power of Alastor's souls. If Alastor won, Syndicat would still be allowed to keep his existing power in exchange for servitude.

Alastor was a top tier Overlord, and owning the Radio Demon would surely catapult Syndicat to the top! He thought he had this in the bag. But Alastor has an inscrutable poker face, magic of his own, and his soul isn't even available to be put on the table. Syndicat predictably lost, and his overlord status was officially gone.

It hadn't really mattered either way. The whole thing was rigged. Alastor's soul was never going to be Syndicat's, and Alastor had clawed his way to Overlord in record time(He took less than a week to orient himself, killed his first overlord, and that was it). So even if he lost, it wouldn't take long for the Radio Demon to be back in full force. He could have just destroyed Syndicat and gotten everything back anyway.

The Husk:

Alastor dubbed him a husk of his former self and kept calling him either Husk or Husker. Husk felt too sorry for himself to care, and decided the name fit. (He doesn't hate "Husker" any more than he does "Husk". In the pilot, he was just annoyed at being magicked away from his poker game)

As far as Overlords go, Alastor wasn't actually all that bad to work for. Husk had actually been a crueler overlord to his underlings. For the most part, Alastor let him carry on as before. Husk gambles for cash and drowns himself with more booze than ever before, but he can't gain or lose power while Alastor owns him. Alastor could bother Husk at any given moment without warning and drag him to do whatever, but it would sometimes be months or years between his summons(seven years was significantly longer than normal, but Husk never thought much of it until after). Alastor is mostly just manipulative, confusing, and condescending. He didn't try to hurt Husk, and rarely even threatened to. Husk was still going to be grumpy about it though.
