The last contest about the topic “TV Shows” was won by Dogzilla. Congratulations!

SP-Studio Christmas Special 2011
Like in the last three years I prepared a big Christmas Special for you. From December 1st till December 24th there will be revealed new SP-Studio items every day. You can see the whole Advent calendar here or follow on twitter, Google+ or Facebook. I hope you enjoy those surprises! Spread the word if you want to support the SP-Studio :). Let’s start with a nice marching drum. Additionally I fixed an annoying bug with the colors of makeup and fashion accessories.

And as usual you can make your own suggestions as well. What’s your wish for new SP-Studio items? No matter if it’s your own hair style, celebrity clothes, a toy, a hat or background. Tell me about it!
New contest: TV shows
The new contest will start soon in the SP-Studio community. Be creative and show your pictures about the topic “TV SHOWS”! This time no animated tv shows count, because we already had this as an extra topic in the past. But you can choose any life action TV program yopu want – no matter if it’s Sci-Fi, Sitcoms, game shows or Late Night Talk. I am looking forward to your submissions, which can be uploaded to the contest album in the Community till December 15th. Good luck!
The last contest about “EUROPE” was won by Joker. Congratulations!
Those are the Top5: French revolution, Bull Fights Back, Manneke Pis, Art Film Français and Adolf Hitler.

SP-Studio and Google+ (and more)
I created a Google+ page for the SP-Studio. Click on the Logo if you want to take a look:

You can support SP-Studio.de by sharing the link. And of course you will be informed about every new update there. I created albums with the best pictures from the community contests and with examples for every update I’ll make.
Google+ is rather new, so those of you who prefer Facebook can follow the SP-Studio there by clicking the Like button on the front page. 50.000 fans like the SP-Studio so far at Facebook, which is a great success, considering I never begged for it ;). Thanks a lot for your support!
If you don’t like Facebook and Google+ you can still follow SP_Studio at Twitter or subscribe to the RSS News Feed. So there are plenty of possibilities to stay up up date, give me feedback and support this project by sharing the news and pictures with your friends. But with all this new social media stuff I stopped sending E-Mail newsletters. Sorry, it was just too much work and not many people used them anymore. So please decide for another way if you want to be informed about my updates.
Update: New types of eyelashes
Lefiou, winner of the last SP-Studio community contest, asked for long, colorful eyelashes. So here they are!
The closed eyes can be found in the “eyes” category. The other ones are in “stuff” > “face” and can be combined with other makeup to create your own look.
Update: Four Foregrounds
Here’s my birthday update for you! I brought some confetti, love and autumn weather :).
There ar4e many backgrounds in the SP-Studio already but I thought it would be nice to have more going on in the foreground of the picture. You can find those new items in the “stuff” > “everything else” category.

Update: Colorful masks & glasses
Halloween is over, but I got some new masks and glasses for you. One part of this was a wish by Caribou, winner of the last SP-Studio contest. I changed some of the masks and glasses so you can pick different colors for them. Here are some examples and I hope this is an useful update:

New contest: Europe
It’s time to show your creativity by submitting a SP-Studio picture for the new contest! This time the topic is EUROPE, which means you can make a picture about anything connected to the countries, their culture, history, food, fashion, wildlife, landscapes… European celebreties, music, movies, art… You can join the contest by registering in the Community and uploading your image file till November 15th. Then every community member can rate the submitted pictures. The winner can make a wish for a SP-Studio item and gets his own user gallery.
The last contest was about MALE MUSICIANS and was won by Lefiou. Congratulations!
Those are the Top5: Gene Simmons, John Lennon, Michael Jackson, Niccolò Paganini and GG Allin.

Update: Happy Halloween 2011!
For this year’s halloween I added six
creepy new items to the SP-Studio:
- cyclops eye
- brain hat
- fur
- wolf ears
- wolf tail
- black dress
(remember the Addams Family?)
Update: Portal Gun
I get many requests for wepaons from video games. Usually I don’t want to draw them, because they are too special and only useful for a small amount of fans. But now I made one exception becaue I believe this is the most popular and interesting weapon: the Portal Gun! Valve’s “Portal 2” came out this year, so this should be a nice addition to the video game related items in the SP-Studio.
