Andrew Hussie's Bonus Content

A series of sketches and miscellanea drawn by Andrew Hussie during his career and released in 2025, from SBAHJ drafts to book cover concept art. This page will stay updated as more things come.

Drafts

Homestuck Aspect Symbol Drafts (ca. mid 2011)

The beta kid aspect symbols (and Terezi's, because of her Vriska shenanigans) were already known, but Hussie quickly had to come up with the other seven, and this page shows that struggle for Blood (top left), Void (top middle/middle right), Rage (left of void), Hope (bottom left and middle) and Heart (all over the damn place). As far as I can tell, Life and Doom aren't there.

Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff Drafts (c. 2011)

SBAHJ didn't usually have a draft stage, but whenever Hussie was travelling and got an idea, he would immediately draw it.

Beta Kids Ink Drawings (ca. October 2009)

Ink drawings made at an indeterminate date, though Jade's shirt logo was voted on by the fans so it can't be concept art. Based on the artstyle I think it's likely that it was made after 2017, or maybe even in 2025 for practice.

1 Hussie is almost definitely forgetting something here, since developer Gankra actually shared such concept art.

2 This seems to contradict HSBC commentary that says Hussie came up with her design, but it could have only been described in words.
