Lots of funny little guys. I primarily specialize in ministrife sprites but I can do a lot of different things!
Requests open for any sprite type!
This blog is primarily run on a mix of queued and scheduled posts.
I reblog a lot from other sprite blogs too. I'm always happy to promote a new blog!
I'm Axle or January, and I really like Homestuck. My main's @venaxle.
I'm the current biggest ministrife fan. Most requests are done as them. I also love to see them. Ping me in ministrife posts!
Requests are always open. Read my rules before requesting. They're under the cut. I have a request tracker here, you can check your request status there. If it's not on there it got eaten or rejected.
Most sprites are free to use with credit. Ask if you'd like me to make a base out of something! Just don't rip sprites or sprite parts without permission.

This blog is sporadically active. If you really need my attention please DM me or send an off-anon ask.
I run a Discord server called Homestuck Spriter's Hangout, where I post prompts and there's games to play! If you sprite and want to chat, come check it out. Invite here [link]
Other blogs I mod or run: @mspfs, @homestuck-hell
I take commissions and art trades (mutuals only) on a case-by-case basis. I don't do pre-made Homestuck adopts anymore but will make custom or gacha designs.

My tagging system.
My request rules are below.
I'm happy to do pretty much any request, but I have some rules.
General Notes:
I do this in my free time. When it gets done depends on how much time I have.
I can refuse any request.
I primarily do ministrifes. Specify if you want something else.
Can do most edits: full sprites, ministrifes, talksprites, Alternia/Openbound, panel edits, etc.
Won't do: Pesterquest/Friendsim and the drawn Hiveswap sprites. Feel free to send me guides. Would love to learn.
You can ask for edits to a reasonable extent, I won't mind.
Any original art or designs I make are mine. Swaps, original sprites, original designs, non-canonical outfit designs. Check the 2nd tag of a post for usage rules.
I Won't Do:
NSFW or suggestive edits
Offensive, bigoted, or derogatory edits
Edits of non-canon sprites that I didn't make
Ship edits of abuse, incest, pedophilia, or anything else I don't want on my blog
MSPFA sprites. I won't directly edit any sprites or panels unless the creator(s) has said they're fine with it. Usually made from scratch.
Characters from non-Homestuck fandoms I know. These include Deltarune/Undertale, Pokemon, and Madoka Magica.
I love and will do 90% of RPG Maker/RPG Maker Horror games such as OFF, Misao, Mad Father, The Witch's House, Ib, Look Outside, Hylics, OneShot, etc. Exceptions apply if the game is NSFW.
Feel free to ask about other fandoms.
OC sprites:
One character per ask ONLY. You can send more than one ask.
Usually made using a base.
Tell me what kind of sprite you want and if you have any specifications.
Provide a fullbody reference. Include arms for best results. Credit your bases if you're using them and your artists if it's not your art.
I DO NOT accept any characters made in Picrews or Dollmakers (Xamag's/Farragofiction's).
I would love to hear about them. Tell me about them. I love people's OCs and I'll make a more fitting sprite if I know things about them.
Feel free to edit them to your liking. Please credit me if you use them places and please don't use them for profit. You can upload them to Toyhouse crediting me at @/venaxle.
The second of the two changelings I made. I wanted to figure out what the opposite of a bright blood would be in a species with bright blood, so here's a dull blood. Changelings much more commonly have wings than trolls.
For two weeks (this and the one after) I did sprites of my troll subspecies the changelings. These guys are like if trolls went harder on the fairy/fae thing. I think she looks very cute.
Another weekly farrago sprite. Apparently I turned this one into some kind of wet drippy robot. Wet drippy robot also known as a bronze- I turned almost all of these into fanspecies.
Second weekly farrago resprite. This one was crossposted on Homestuck-Hell, so if you've seen it before that's why. I tend to take a lot of creative liberties with these.
Since that poll was pretty even split I'm going to err on the side of not spriting real people unless they're relevant to Homestuck. As in, they appear in it or are mentioned in it directly. Not going to sprite real-world team members, but something like Hussie's self-insert or even the Annoying Dog is fine since those are character-ized versions.
I also just don't have the time to individually research every person who could potentially be sent to me. Seems like there could be situations where I draw someone and then find out they've done or said something where I would have declined to draw them if I'd known.
Thus, sorry to the requester who sent me a real-person request but I'm gonna decline your request. I'll add this to my rules shortly.
hi again, ik iāve been coming back repeatedly lol š butt, i would love for you to make a ministrife sprite of my mutant beta fantroll.
you can choose any sprite you want, however many you want. but, to get it to be truly like him, i wanted to give some extra info ab his personality for you to know how his pose would be.
taikan arigoz has a eerie and mysterious character, it being intimidating, but also magnetic. he is intelligent and vibrant, living for the mystery and adventure while being positively intuitive. he is a protector for secrets, him hiding who he truly is from his blood color to his personality. this leads him to lie often, mostly for others expectations, but it also hides his truly bitter and jealous core, him often jealous of those he sees as more well-positioned than he is.
hope you enjoy doing this :)
Enjoy the personality info, I like this guy. Fun request! Use for whatever, edit however you want, just credit me :)
would you make a ministrife of her pls?? :3 (her braid is meant to be three strands, one central and two circling it like a caduceus. her name is caduceus )
VERY cool design! Big fan of her. Challenging to sprite as a ministrife, but fun. Feel free to use for what you want, edit it, etc. Just make sure to credit me!
