Homestuck is an animated webcomic. There are a lot of different pages and characters in the comic; including trolls, humans, etc.
As described on the MSPA website, Homestuck is a tale about a boy and his friends and a game they play together. Homestuck is the fourth MS Paint Adventure, and by far the largest one yet, with 6,851 pages (out of 8,752 MSPA pages) as of October 16, 2013. It started on the 13 of April 2009, 413 becoming a recurring number in-universe. Homestuck was inspired by games like the Sims, Spore and Earthbound.

However, he admits to still drawing inspiration for all of the characters.
