Vox's Pilot vs Final design ⏐The Evolution of Vox in Hazbin Hotel

Do you remember this in Hazbin Hotel?

For my next couple shorts i’m going to compare and contrast some of the cast to their old pilot designs. Up first is vox.

Personally i think vox looked better in his pilot form. I’ll have some footage from tiktok user
Superlizardgirl playing in the background so you can see a comparison.

He had a darker colour scheme, his hypnotic eye was on all the time along with the red blood dripping from his mouth.

Alot of these traits made it into the full series, however they only show up when he’s angry or annoyed.

Twitter user Kotomakesweird made this comparison image, again showing what vox would’ve looked like if he kept his pilot design.

All of the pilot outfits are still canon in the hazbin universe, it’s just that they wore them in the past. In episode 2 we see a photograph of vox and valentino 7 years ago, where vox has a crt box style head. So in season 2 we’ll likely see flashbacks where he goes from his old crt style, to his pilot version, and finally to his modern look.

Which style do you prefer? Let me know down below.

[Alastor.]

I think it’s better that his eye only glitches and his mouth only bleeds when he’s mad, because it shows how he changed his appearance to make his customers believe him more

[GrimSalvation]

I think the new one, the brighter blue is better plus the eye and blood coming out when angry gives contrast to when he’s calm

Personally, I like Vox’s new design better. I like the more angular shape of the mouth in the new one, sort of fitting with the sharp edges of the TV screen. I also like the concept that his hypnotizing eye and the red stuff only happens when he is either angry or trying to control. It gives him more character. Also, I think that though his darker color scheme added more to the “scary demon” look, I think that a brighter color scheme fits more. That is, considering the fact that his whole ‘thing’ is gaining supporters and followers through his power, products, charisma, and advertising, as well as many other things that involve “pleasing the people.” The brighter color scheme is more pleasant and attention grabbing, perfect for Vox’s whole agenda he’s got going on.

[F_NerdShark]

I REALLY like that his other eye only becomes hypnotic when he’s angry. It’s a great way to make the character feel more intimidating and unpredictable, imo! Plus I’m sure it makes animating him easier :P

[Ghost_Rccn]

That’s tough to say on which version of Vox is my favorite. 🤔 but I would agree on the “Pilot” version seems fitting for the TV Demon. Something about darker colors suits him better than bright

[RhiannonSmudge]

I kinda prefer the brighter blue color scheme, it contrasts more with the mostly red environment. Plus I like how his hypnotic eye and blood trickle on his mouth are occasional to make them feel more special and to emphasize that he's using his powers. if they were there all the time his face design would feel crowded

[perrytheplate]

Him having more a dark color scheme can tie into the big trend for modern and sleek looking stuff in early 2010

[KarahKat]

I like his new design much better. It definitely makes him look very “show off-ish” which fits his character

[Yormaru]

I like the pilot design, but it makes more sense that the hypnotic eye isn't always active. It makes more sense that he controls when he uses it. As for the blood, it works better for when he's angry.

[christinacordova]

I personally think his brighter color scheme suits him better than his pilot design because that’s what made him stand out the most compared to everyone.

[kingjb]

I like how those traits were made to portray his anger. Imagine if Charlie had horns constantly, it wouldnt be the same

[SomebodysSon]

Bro, his pilot design was what made him my favorite character back when the pilot dropped

[sandy_nes]

I would like to see him turning into that form in some way, like when he gets extremely mad or frustrated

[BoredCupcake]

Vox has already the most simps but with this design I think he would have even more (it makes him look hotter and kind of older XD)

[Ravioli.randomness]

I love the eye glitching only sometimes, it gives him more personality

[shadowhell]

I like that his voice, eye change and the blood drip when he's mad as it shows the mask he wears is to make the people like him isn't there. Like during the stayed gone song it's there when he talks about Alastor and more when Alastor starts his part.
As for the brighter colours I like the pilot colours better but brighter colours tend to put people at ease making them more trusting so it's something he probably did to get more of the people to trust him.

[AdventureGirl-znwc]

I definitely prefer the new version of Vox, because I think the brighter colours are more fitting for him as a TV demon with a bright screen, and his hypnotic eye works well as a characteristic of his power that's only activated when he uses it.

[lernreed]

I really like the blues in his newer design, it makes him seem friendlier and trustworthy, which is what he’d want his image to convey.

[cartersmith]

I like the new design a lot more, mostly because of the pretty color pallette as well as his newer design being far more expressive, thanks to the eye and mouth lines not being permanent.

[FJYoko-nlyq]

I personally love Vox's new design. Especially the color scheme. The blue is a nice contrast to Alastor's red, which truly shows they're enemies even from a color stance. To have a darker, almost pure black scheme makes him blend in a little more with the rest of the backgrounds and characters, not allowing him to stand out as much. As for his eyes and mouth, it's a nice quirk for him to have that also contrasts Alastor - Al's antlers come out when angry or excited, and Vox bleeds and his eye spirals. It shows similarities and contrasting components about the two that show, from an aesthetic POV that they are rivals
