#spriting

so i decided to have a go at making some custom Homestuck sprites, and decided to make versions of one of John's sprites from an imp strife for the rest of the beta kids, as well as a base! in the image above all sprites except for the one placed most to the left (John) were made by me. i'm very happy with how they turned out since this is one of my first few attempts at making decent sprite edits that aren't just recolors!!

these are free for you to use in your own fan adventure if you'd like! credit is appreciated but not required, as long as you do not claim to have made them yourself, or claim to have made the base yourself if you're using just that, it's fine by me :D (in fact if you do use it let me know i'd love to see my stuff being used by others!!!)

since i know Tumblr might compress this a bit or fuck up the transparency, i've uploaded it to the Homestuck Resource Booru as well, and you can find that upload of these sprites here! (clickable hyperlink text)

roster completion is now 37.28%, 104 sprites are completed, 234 prompts have been received, and only 18 unclaimed spaces remain! mon notes under the cut!

its a me

So last Christmas I spent a few months with my computer broken, which some of you may or may not remember. Because of that, I spent a lot of time on mobile. Mobile systems do not have... quite the art abilities that I am accustomed to, and it took some time to find ones that I could jive with. Pixel art, luckily, is pretty low-intensity. And despite the fact that I have not flexed my skills much in that area in the last decade, I used to consider myself a pixel artist at least as much if not more so than other forms of digital art, and nearing traditional art as well. All of that is to say, here! It's me! Done in a Homestuck talksprite style! Gives me a chance to break out the trollsign I made myself, which is fun.  Maybe not quiiite faithful to the typical style, but I think it came out well regardless, though the shirt does look more than a little tight on retrospect. Does this count as a kidsona? Got the 4-letter-name down pat and all.
