Update I was able to find where the skirt came from! AlmightySponge on deviant art. The spritesheet is in the gallery labelled all on page 6.

located and credited! thanks so much for help with the search and informing me

[mantasprites]

The spritesheet is also on blahjerry's deviantart profile under the homestuck folder on page two, although blahjerry has started they didn't make most of the sheet so there is credit missing as well. I'd say it would be best to credit blahjerry in this case, or perhaps linking to the sheet so people can see the caveat in the summary

found the post you were referring to!

ill add the credit of the outfits to both the sprite edit post and reply to first ask and continue to credit their collection if used in the future. thanks for the find!

(secondary follow-up can be found here)

[mantasprites]

Hey it looks like on your latest post about Auseq you used parts from a sprite sheet but didn't credit it? If you use someone else's work/bases you really need to give them credit

hiya! thanks for bringing this up

im assuming you're referring to these outfits, which i had found from a collection of outfits hosted on Homestuck.net's art asset collection, which you can find the full outfit collection here. (image is labeled as "Homestuck Clothes plus Bases Sprite Sheet.png")

as far as i can see, there isnt a name attached to it, but if this is an issue and these assets were taken from another source, please let me know so i can credit the author of these parts properly!

(Edit: Follow up post can be found here, and the original creator of the outfits collection by blahjerry on devientart can be found here, whereas the skirt made by almightysponge can be found here)

[mantasprites]

well well im back again with some more auseq content, bringing you the culture masterpost! i know some want your grubby hands on how you should create your own auseq, and others just wanna look at some cool canon character designs so ill provide both!

these are currently the only ones ive fully sprited (which you can ask about who they really ARE in my asks :] ) but there are still more to come!

creator of skirt used, almightysponge on devientart, can be found here, and possible creator of some included outfits, blahjerry, can be found here

under the cut is all the juicy lore that the spriting community will love, so enter the depths if you so wish!

the conception of these guys was really just cuz i found fanspecies super complicated and variated in their designs so im happy people care so much about these guys

So you've chosen death by spriting!

DESIGN PRINCIPLES:

Auseq have fully coloured bug eyes that can be changed to any color and shape, occasionally having more than just two eyes. They have antennae that have little baubles at the end that can be changed by color and shape. They have fur tufts on their neck that can be any color and have different patterns. Their skin is always pure white, but they have a stripe on their forehead that is the same color as their eyes and baubles. All Auseq blood is coloured gray.

Auseq outfits consist of those before Earth 1980, with clothes like sweater vests, greaser jackets, barbershop quartet outfits and more.

To see an image representation of all of this, see the linked post.

AUSEQ CULTURE:

Names can be any length, but must include either x y or z, and their last name must have the same letter count as the first.

The hierarchy is structured on a simple monarchy with a royal family, with those in power being those with inherent strength in specific categories, each corresponding to a different letter in the species name.

The categories are:

Allure - People skills and charisma

Undergoing - Pure endurance and stamina

Strength - Self explanatory

Expedition - Agility and speed

Quick-wit - Intelligence and craftiness

Any Auseq can be proficient in any number of these, which causes jobs to be distributed in different ways. Someone proficient in expedition is able to do delivery jobs better by being faster, and an Auseq with good quick-wit is better at research and other jobs requiring a higher brain capacity. Even Auseq that aren’t proficient in anything can still get a job. Jobs like cashiers and painters are usually preserved for Auseq without proficiencies to allow Auseq with proficiencies to do other jobs more suited to them.

The highest position in Auseq society is the Monarch, which you can only be if you have proficiency in everything. The thing is though, there can be multiple Monarchs at once that command the same place. Previous Monarch’s offspring have a much higher chance to be proficient in everything, making it so royalty is usually just one bloodline, but any random Auseq can be the Monarch. The most Monarchs there have ever been in Auseq society was 4; 2 royalty, 1 random Auseq and 1 previous Monarch that was still hanging on.

Auseq mature at 15 human years, and the longest one has lived was 57, although the higher undergoing an Auseq has the longer they can live.

Auseq reproduce asexually, by planting a seed contained in their stomach. Seeds must be planted in close proximity to natural foliage designated as birthing spots as they give nutrients to the soil through their roots. Once an Auseq reaches a certain age they will spit out the seed, allowing them to plant it into the ground and create a new Auseq.

While the baby Auseq is growing, the only thing that you can see is one of their antennae sticking out of the ground. Rather than being grubs or babies while they are young, Auseq don't sprout until they are about 4 in human years.

ROMANCE:

Auseq have very little gender differences, and since the way they reproduce is not gender reliant, Auseq don’t really care to figure out what gender they are after they are born.

Auseq romance is split into three overlapping sectors. Love, respect and hate. These three sectors intertwine to make four more, with it being as such; love & respect make admiration, respect & hate make deference, hate & love create ambivalence and all three make chaos.

Rainbows are very integral to Auseq culture as each color represents a different form of romance. Red represents love, blue represents hate and yellow is respect. Their combinations correspond to the color combos of their designated colors. Chaos is represented as white, or light itself, as it refracts into all other relationships.

Those proficient in allure more commonly are in part-love relationships, whereas those in quick-wit and expedition tend to be in respect focused ones. Hate is commonly seen in those who are undergoing or strength proficient, though all relationships are available to any Auseq.

You can represent what kind of relationship two Auseq have by showing hearts of the respective color, or by using these premade symbols:

Yeah they're very creative I know

Thanks so much for reading this far! Hoping to see how much interest this can get once it spreads into more blogs
