Ah.It seems you have found my secret page, hello. This page was made for me to talk about the development of this website.
This wasn't really a very long project, but it was one of my first ones, so I wanted to document it here for archival purposes and also to entertain anyone who might find this page and who happens to care.
website concept
Hell Link is a website mainly inspired by the 2005 anime 'Jigoku Shoujo' and the fan-websites that derived off of it. When I was younger, I used to surf the internet aimlessly, which lead me to weird places that stuck with me, one of them being this website called ' Jigoku Tsushin' that allowed you to type in someones name to, supposedly, kill them. It was an exact replica of the hell link from the anime Jigoku Shoujo, but I didn't know that as a kid, I believe I was convinced I had found a real 'dark web' link and it freaked me out enough for me to still be talking about it almost 20 years later.
Well, this was around 2008, and although there are many homages to it, the original website that I found when I was little does not exist anymore.

As I've been recovering my love for coding and creating lately, I thought it would be a fun idea to make a website inspired by that little childhood memory of mine. It was never my intention to make a total copy of it because there are already a lot of homages around the internet, instead I thought it would be cool to mix this 'creepypasta' idea with my own spiritualistic beliefs, which consist of a lot of karma and fate. After all, I guess you could say that manifesting
something bad happening to
someone else ---- leading to
something bad happening to
you matches my beliefs perfectly. My website was made in pure fun as a way to entertain myself, but I am a very faithful believer and I don't know at which point going through such the trouble of typing someone's name out with such rage would not work against said person or the sender themselves...I don't claim off this energy though, I am just a messenger.
art concept
doll of fate

The doll of fate design was pretty easy to come up with, it's quite literally a mix between the straw dolls from jigoku shoujo anime and the creepy dolls from the game IB. The design was supposed to be beige in the beginning, like your average 'voodoo cloth doll', but I liked the contrast between the blue and red better.

Lilith

Yes, she has a name. She is not an actual character that I plan to do anything with other than illustrating this website, but I still thought it would be nice to give her a name, maybe out of respect.
As before mentioned, I wanted this website to be some sort of virtual manifestation of my own beliefs and so I thought it would be appropriate to make it's illustrative character something that I could relate to myself. I am not emotive, I am not expressive, I wanted to capture that, and Lilith is a good humanization of my faith and spirituality, in a sense.
Design
I wanted Lilith to still resemble Ai Enma, in some way, so straight hime-cut black hair was almost an instant design decision. I took inspiration from some other characters with similar personalities and motifs. my initial plan for her outfit was something casual, something an ordinary teenage girl would wear...But Lilith is no ordinary teenage girl, she is not as pure hearted as Ai Enma or Aya Drevis. I don't think she gives off pure and creepy as much as she gives odd and pushing. That's when I decided to take a different direction with her design and made her wear some sort of kurololita garment...I didn't want her design to be too exaggerated and over-the-top, she is just a girl who wears lolita. She still has that ordinary teenage girl look to her, I suppose, just more on the exccentric side.
