====[[Canvas 83]]==== | |||
== Types of Art == | |||
Pixelstuck uses several types of art pieces when creating their templates. They can be categorized by their method of creation. | |||
=== Sprites === | |||
Much of the smaller art pieces on Pixelstuck templates come from panels or interactive pages from the webcomic itself. These sprites usually are already pixel art, and can be converted to the pxls.space palette easily. Due to their simpler nature, it is common for fans to make their own variations on such sprites, either by making new outfits, or spriting different characters in the respective styles. The smaller arts are often used repeatedly across canvases. | |||
==== Ministrife ==== | |||
These sprites come from the page [https://www.homestuck.com/story/5427 <nowiki>[S] [A6I3] MINISTRIFE!!!</nowiki>], and feature downsized versions of characters with different outfits. | |||
==== Alterniabound ==== | |||
Originating from an [https://mspaintadventures.fandom.com/wiki/Alterniabound interactive flash page], these sprites are usually less than 500 pixels large and are often added to templates after the main art is complete to fill gaps around Pixelstuck's plans. | |||
==== Downsized ==== | |||
The main sprites used in the webcomic for the characters need to be downsized before being useable on canvas. They have fallen out of use as they often do not convert well. | |||
==== Misc. ==== | |||
Sprites from other parts of the comic have been made, examples including talksprites, openbound walksprites, and original scale assets. | |||
=== Symbols === | |||
Troll, kid, aspect, and other symbols are common additions to templates usually near the end of a canvas. | |||
=== Original Art === | |||
Occasionally, Pixelstuck members will make original pixel art that can be put on canvas. This comprises a small percentage of art made. | |||
=== Converted === | |||
Homestuck fan-made pixel art is often converted to the pxls palette and built on canvas. | |||
=== Defiddled === | |||
A good majority of present-day Pixelstuck art has been manually downsized and recolored by the artists in the faction. | |||

Pixelstuck is a faction that makes art based on the webcomic Homestuck. On Canvas 28, many Homestucks joined Pxls after seeing a Homestuck character in flromp’s tiktok. The next canvas, 🐺 the v [5] 🐺#4163 created the Pixelstuck Discord server to coordinate these fans.
You can find all their templates and art sources in their discord.
History
2019
Canvas 28
hazard12100 made Jade. Later in the canvas, many Homestucks joined after seeing this project in flromps tiktok.
Canvas 29
Various users made small Homestuck ministrife sprites and other arts individually. Pixeltugal went over the Terezi that was made in South America, they were later remade in India. User 🐺 the v [5] 🐺#4163 started the Discord server on November 12 to help her build a Jade ministrife, which was later moved to a void above India, and finally to California. Later in the canvas, ?? went over the Homestuck art in east Australia.
Canvas 30
Pixelstuck started with their logo and expanded, making sprites of various sizes. Karkat originally was much bigger, but was later scaled down.
Canvas 30a
Two main projects were made: Dave and Lord English (the latter was made before on canvas 6). Dave had lights added partway through the canvas, this was inspired by a cosplay by Ceondoc#3560. Lord English was originally placed in the bottom right corner overlapping a leaf by pxls.es, which was later moved. Lord English was expected to go under the redstone block and over Avogadro, but later agreed to go under both instead. When the canvas was expanded he was moved to the top left corner.
2020
Canvas 31
This canvas marked the start of making art that wasn’t just sprites, but defiddled art in different styles. Vriska and the Midnight Crew: Drawing Dead album cover were made, along with a collaboration with the user caofho showing Dolorosa holding Russia. On this canvas Pixelstuck planned a lattice to help make Vriska’s wings look semi transparent, they were later modified to have the same effect over winter garden.
Canvas 32
Pixelstuck planned Nepeta along with Jaspersprite. Coincidentally the canvas was also shaped like a cat, so they decided to go with a cat theme. This was the first canvas where the projects had a common theme.
Canvas 33
Pixelstuck originally planned Joey and Dammek without the background. Some smaller arts were added by individual users. After the two characters were finished well before the canvas was expected to reset, a background was added from the original art.
Canvas 34
For this canvas, Pixelstuck made the Prospit & Derse album cover.
Canvas 34a
Since this canvas wasn’t announced ahead of time, Pixelstuck quickly made two ministrifes for this canvas. Partway through the canvas Veil went over Eridan, but later helped remake him up a bit more and move some projects to make space.
Canvas 35
At the start of this canvas, Pixelstuck made 4 John themed projects. Due to the canvas’s unusually low size, YOIB wasn’t able to fit in many of their projects. PixelStuck, after being contacted and in fear of a war with YOIB, decided to cancel their lattice and allow them to go over three of four projects. Pixelstuck made some new projects to fit in with YOIB’s yellow theme.
Canvas 36
The John projects that were cancelled on the previous canvas were made along with a lattice. In addition to this, several ministrifes were made in Pink Gang's area as a collab, and a captchalogue card was added in the MS-Paint window. Near the end of the canvas, YOIB attacked the Sanses near Pixelstuck after being griefed by their owner(check). Several members decided to independently help out.
Canvas 37
Pixelstuck did a collab withPink Gang, and thus chose to have a Rose theme, building many arts featuring either her or Roxy, and making a lattice with a pink background. Because of Pride month, a few arts got pride flag outlines.
Canvas 38
On this canvas, they had a Dave theme, with other characters that fitted the red aesthetic, as well as a gear lattice.
A Doc Scratch featuring his head as an Avogadro Project was built with Pixelstuck as well.
Canvas 39
Pixelstuck had a Jade theme, as well as a space background, finishing the 4 beta kids from Homestuck (John, Rose, Dave and Jade), at the start of the canvas they had a territory dispute with Grayscale Pxls but it was resolved.
Canvas 40
Several arts were made with no clear theming, including the 4 beta kids, 2 Vriska arts, a Jade art and others. They also did a lattice with the Homestuck logo in a rainbow color gradient.
Canvas 41

Types of Art
Pixelstuck uses several types of art pieces when creating their templates. They can be categorized by their method of creation.
Sprites
Much of the smaller art pieces on Pixelstuck templates come from panels or interactive pages from the webcomic itself. These sprites usually are already pixel art, and can be converted to the pxls.space palette easily. Due to their simpler nature, it is common for fans to make their own variations on such sprites, either by making new outfits, or spriting different characters in the respective styles. The smaller arts are often used repeatedly across canvases.
Ministrife
These sprites come from the page [S] [A6I3] MINISTRIFE!!!, and feature downsized versions of characters with different outfits.
Alterniabound
Originating from an interactive flash page, these sprites are usually less than 500 pixels large and are often added to templates after the main art is complete to fill gaps around Pixelstuck's plans.
Downsized
The main sprites used in the webcomic for the characters need to be downsized before being useable on canvas. They have fallen out of use as they often do not convert well.
Misc.
Sprites from other parts of the comic have been made, examples including talksprites, openbound walksprites, and original scale assets.
Symbols
Troll, kid, aspect, and other symbols are common additions to templates usually near the end of a canvas.
Original Art
Occasionally, Pixelstuck members will make original pixel art that can be put on canvas. This comprises a small percentage of art made.
Converted
Homestuck fan-made pixel art is often converted to the pxls palette and built on canvas.
Defiddled
A good majority of present-day Pixelstuck art has been manually downsized and recolored by the artists in the faction.
