It has been a while since my last detailed update about the SP-Studio remake (or just “new SP-Studio”) development. The reason for this was that the situation became rough during the last couple of months and I wanted to wait until I knew for sure how the future looks like. Now I finally feel optimistic enough to tell you more about the current state of development and plans for the upcoming months:
Today I included a special update for a special 6 year old SP-Studo fan who asked for Medusa’s snake hair. I hope she likes it. 🙂
Meanwhile I started working on the next bigger update with multiple items. Those who watch my Twich livestreams already know about it: It will be about steampunk! If you have special wishes for this feel free to write them in the comments. I will also start a new vote for my 5$ patrons soon where they can pick another topic for an update. Thank you very much for your ongoing support!
The Science Fiction update is online! It comes with these new items:
Apart from the Star Trek uniform I wanted to keep the objects not too specific for fans of certain franchises, so none of them are copied from movies or videogames. This was kinda difficult for me, because I am not good at inventing weapons. 😉 But now I am satisfied with the results and I hope you like them as well. Thank you for you patience regarding this update. I needed a break after my grandpa passed away last month, but I feel better now.
And I started streaming again! The next Twitch livestream is scheduled for next Monday at 16:00 UTC (18:00 CET).
This is a special update inspired by current events. While I cannot do much expcept for staying at home I want to show my appreciation for all the health care workers, shop clerks, deliverymen and -women who do not have this option. THANK YOU for your hard work! In addition I want to encourage everybody who is not used to it to not feel ashamed for wearing masks in public. Protecting others is the most important thing right now if we want to avoid overloaded hospitals.
So with the help of the Twitch chat I designed ten different masks to wear for your SP-Studio characters in the times of COVID-19. From medical face masks over colorful vogmasks to historcial plaque doctor masks. The simple ninja style mask has custom colors.
I hope this update brings a little bit of joy to you. Stay safe and healthy!
The SP-Studio got some new historical items! All of these originated in the Twitch livestreams I did during the last two weeks. Thanks to the chat for the feedback and ideas!
A big thank you to everbody who joined me for the test last Friday! The next livestream will again take place on my Twitch channel. We will chat and work on ideas for the upcoming SP-Studio update about historical fashion.

I realized I am really bad at drawing when I have to talk at the same time. So please don’t expect an amazing art stream! 😉 I focus on rough sketches and clean up the details later. But your feedback is important! And I just want to chat because right now many people might need a place to connect with others if they cannot leave the house. Please follow me on Twitch, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or check the forum if you want to join the livestreams in the future. I won’t write an extra blog post every time, so this way you won’t miss an announcement.
Surprise! Currently many people are sitting at home and might be a little bit bored. So I want to try something new. I will stream while I am drawing stuff for the SP-Studio. So if you want to join me, follow this Twitch link:

Check your local time here. I will try my best to talk in English, which might be really funny for you because I never get a chance to practice. 🙂 Of course you can ask questions or make suggestions about what I should draw. Please don’t expect any professionalism, because I never streamed before. This is a first test. If it works and anybody shows up at all I might do it again with a different time.
Correction: I mixed up CET and UTC at first. This is now fixed.
After I sorted the new items from the Christmas Special I started the new year with a classic topic that never gets old: New hairstyles!
Eight of these were added to the SP-Studio today, reaching from odango buns (ispired by Sailor Moon) to a traditional court wig. Some of these hairstyles were wishes from the SP-Studio community. Of course you can change the color of every one of them and you can decide if you want to use them with shadows and highlights or in the “flat” style.
The 12th annual SP-Studio Christmas Special has started! I prepare 24 daily updates to surprise you with new clothes, body parts, background images or accessories. The advent calendar at the bottom of this blog post will be updated every day until Christmas, so make sure to keep an eye on it. Or you can follow the SP-Studio on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to be informed when a new item is live. The first update brings Crime Scene Tape as a new foreground effect!
I’m happy about your feedback, so feel free to comment or write an e-mail. You can also make wishes what you want to see in this year’s Christmas Special. Did you know for the first Christmas Special back in 2008 over 2.000 E-Mails with wishes were sent to me? And if you really like it you can help me a lot by supporting this project with a small donation. I hope you enjoy the surprises I prepared for you this time!
The old Christmas Specials can be found here: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018.
The second movie related update is online! This one was initially planned for the week before Halloween, but as I mentioned in my last blog post things in my private life went a little different than expected. When I made the plans for more movie fashion updates I did not know yet we’d have the chance to move houses earlier. In addition my new office was the last room to be ready. But now I am back and I want to give you at least a small update as promised. The Christmas Special starts tomorrow, so I am glad I still made it before December. 😉
These new clothes are inspired by two horror icons of the 80s: Chucky the killer doll (Child’s Play) and Pamela Vorhees (Friday the 13th). You can find them in the “shirts” category.
