Congratulations to legobasher for winning the last SP-Studio contest! His picture was inspired by the Movie “Grunt!”. You can find the whole contets gallery here: SP-Studio contest 04/2016: PRO WRESTLING. And check out the all time HALL OF FAME!
A reminder: Today is the last chance to submit your pictures for the current contest. I am sure everybody thinks about this topic a lot: THE FUTURE! No matter if you create a SP-Studio picture about your own future or Star Trek, as long as it is related to the topic in some way it will count. So show your creativity and I hope to see many entries! The rules are described here.

The top 20 most popular items

May 16, 2016 3 Replies

How about some statistics? I never posted anything like this before, but it might be interesting bonus content between updates.
Have you ever wondered which items are the most popular on sp-studio.de? Here you go! I looked through data from the last months and created this top 20 of SP-Studio items. “Popular” means these are the items which get the most clicks. It does not mean they have to be actually used in the final pictures (I cannot count this). Excluded from this list are the body shape, single color background and regular hands. Of course they are the top 3 items because every SP-Studio picture starts with them. As you can see the basic items are really important. But some fashionable shoes or the manga eyes seem to attract your attention as well.
The next stats will be about the most popular background images. Can you guess which ones will be on the list? Share your guesses in the comments! 🙂

Super Mario tribute

April 10, 2016 3 Replies

After the Disney Princesses and Star Wars these are the final costumes in a row of pop culture inspired SP-Studio updates. When it comes to iconic video game characters nobody can compete with Super Mario. So I drew this tribute to Mario and Luigi. My Patrons voted for the Nintendo characters they wanted to see. And check out the Princess Peach dress and hair as well, which was already included a while back.
The new items are:

Mario’s and Luigi’s hats
Luigi’s beard (Mario’s was already included)
overall in custom colors
a new nose in custom colors

I fixed some bugs as well: The U.S. flag works again and some noses were moved.

Star Wars inspired costumes

February 29, 2016 12 Replies

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” was a surprisingly good sequel to one of the most popular movie frachises. And it did a great job in introducing new characters even the hardcore fans liked. So I included costumes inspired by three of them to www.sp-studio.de. Unfortunately it was too difficult to draw BB-8 in SP-Studio style, so I focused on Finn, Rey and Kylo Ren.
The new items are:

3 shirts
2 hairstyles
1 mask

Disney Princesses

January 25, 2016 13 Replies

The new year starts with an extra big update! I drew 22 new items based on the famous Disney heroines Ariel, Cinderella, Pocahontas, Mulan and Belle. A Snow White costume was already added in 2014, and I wanted to continue this “Disney princess” series because they are fun to draw and very popular. But I have to admit I am no fan of the stereotypical princess marketing. I like the original movies, so I focused on their typical outfits and not on princess gowns. In addition to the costumes you can use new facial expressions now, which will be useful for all kinds of characters. This is new:

4 hairstyles
3 clothes
5 lips
5 eyebrows
5 types of eyelashes (category: stuff/makeup)
