In 2014 a majority of merchandise began a slow migration to We Love Fine. Music used in the comics is sold through Bandcamp. MS Paint Adventures supported its author financially, formerly through the sale of merchandise on the online store TopatoCo as well through advertising, and the site's own store and record label, What Pumpkin. A sequel titled Homestuck^2: Beyond Canon was launched October 25, 2019. This project raised nearly $2.5 million, exceeding its goal of $700,000 in a little under two days, at that time being the 6th largest Kickstarter drive.

An adventure game spinoff of Homestuck titled Hiveswap was released Septemand was produced with funds contributed by fans of the comic via Kickstarter. The rapid rise in the popularity of Homestuck led to its recognition at the Toronto Comics Art Festival for two years running, and it brought, on average, over 600,000 unique views to the site daily. One adventure, Homestuck, has given rise to a large fan community as made evident by the increasing amount of fan art and cosplay at comic book conventions. Over time, the comics evolved from simple static images and captions to frequent animations set to original music, and occasionally to interactive games created in Flash and HTML5. Despite its name, the site's comics have been created primarily in Adobe Photoshop, not Microsoft Paint, other than the first page of Jailbreak Hussie decided after that page that telling a story using Paint was not feasible. They frequently reference other aspects of current internet culture. The comics tended to draw inspiration from video games, imitating and parodying genres such as RPGs and simulation games. The characters' actions were originally driven by commands suggested by fans in the comics' official forum, but fan suggestions were eventually abandoned due to the size of the fanbase and the author's desire to tell a more coherent story.

The comics were written in serial works or 'adventures' in a manner that parodied interactive fiction games. According to some estimates, MS Paint Adventures was the largest collection of comics on the Internet, containing over 10,000 pages as of April 2016 among its five series thanks to its frequent updates.
