Hello hello! So there are three versions of the character designs: Mini-Sprite, Half-Sprite, and Full Design. If you have any more questions, feel free to toss in another ask! MINI-SPRITE:

Your run-of-the-mill tiny sprite, characterized by a compact body type (even if the character is plus-sized, like Jane Crocker or Feferi Peixes). Here's a Homestuck Base Sheet with outfits included! The thing to do here is simplify down the character's features. For longer loose skirts, use Kanaya's sprite for a reference. For shorts, I recommend John's sprite. Dave does well for pants. If you're worried about a more complex character design, take Marvus here for example. That's a lotta troll! But if you know how to simplify things down, his minisprite would look like this. Worried about big hair and a thicker frame like Chahut's? Same concept, just squish 'em down.

HALF-SPRITE:

Half or Semi-sprites are a bit more variable. They're essentially close-up shots or scenes where you want to emphasize the character. The characters typically have thick noodle-like arms in this style now, but not always. Something to keep in mind is that accessories and stuff like horns are line-less and that some lines may be colored. There's a couple pages with sprites pulled from the webcomic here that you can use for reference. Something I've noticed is that there isn't any shading save for scenes with dramatic lighting or a light source in frame with the character. If you don't like the Homestuck half-sprite style, it is highly recommended that you substitute them with the Hiveswap sprites instead, which has a simple, round style while still having necessary detail on character designs. Here's a Hiveswap sprite base!

FULL BODY:

YOU. YOU GET ME. she has so many hands and they're for the entire female cast <3
