    Cute forest animals for your shirts!


    While I was drawing music related shirt motifs for the last update I felt like there is potential for a second update like this. This time it’s a collection of six cute forest animals: Raccoon, fox, rabbit, bear, owl and frog. You can recolor them and combine them with any clothes.


    And I can already announce another update planned for the end of this month… which might be related to a certain holiday. I hope you like horror films as much as I do.

    Halloween is near, so let’s get spooky! The challenge for this month is to create an SP-Studio picture about ghost hunting – or any other paranormal investigations. Think of shows like Supernatural or Ghost Hunters.


    Your picture can be an OC or based on an existing character. It can be the paranormal entity or the investigator who is hunting it. Examples: Ghostbusters, Insidious, The X-Files, House on Haunted Hill, The Ring, Finding Bigfoot, SCP… Real people like Ed and Lorraine Warren or YouTube Ghost Hunters count as well.

    Wear your taste in music on your skin! 🎶


    This took me longer than expected but now I finally finished 8 new shirt motifs I wanted to draw for a long time. Each of these designs represents a music genre and you can customize them by changing the colors and shading. Because they are located in the “shirt motifs” category you can combine them with any items you want.


    Many years ago there were band shirts in the SP-Studio, but I removed them for two reasons: First of all I did not want to steal designs which were protected by copyright. But another problem was that as soon as I added two musicians I was asked for 100 others. There are just too many out there. With focusing on music genres I can finally bring back music shirts in a better way.

    Congratulations to the winners!

    I loved the artistic variety in this top5 and could have imagined any one of these pictures winning. But in the end Alexander defended his winning streak with his atmospheric portrayal of the Loch Ness Monster.

    Congratulations to the winners!

    This was an especially hard one, because there were so many good pictures. But the public vote and jury shared the same opnion: Alexander did it again! And we have a shared fifth place this time.

    Dive into the OCEAN and meet some cute aquatic animals! 🦈


    I've received requests for sharks and other fish repeatedly, but I didn't want to include them without a proper underwater setting. While there was an underwater background already, you can now use a new foreground effect to add water to every background scenery. It will make your character look like it's actually underwater. These are the seven new items:

    🐟 A shark, a regular fish, a crab and big tentacles

    🧴 To protect your skin during your vacation: Sun lotion (tube & face)

    Congratulations to the winners!

    Random amy won her first contest with a picture about Japanese mythology. Alexander and Rustyshackleford share the second place with the same amount of points.

    Happy 10th anniversary, STARDEW VALLEY!

    As a tribute to one of my favorite video games of all time, I’ve drawn nine new hairstyles for today’s SP-Studio update, inspired by characters from Stardew Valley (by Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone). I picked Leah, Shane, Maru, Sebastian, Sam, Abigail, Emily, Penny and Pierre. Of course you can recolor everything – and as a bonus Abigail and Sam’s hairstyles come with multicolor options. I couldn’t include every fan favorite, but I tried to choose interesting hairstyles that are practical additions for everybody and not just for those who have played the game.

    From Odysseus to Odin… Base your picture on a story, character or creature from old legends. Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Norse, Chinese, Japanese, Mayan… there is a lot to choose from!

    It doesn’t matter where the mythology comes from, as long as it is old enough. The stories should be about 2.000 years old (or older). So the Bible and the Odyssey would count, but Journey to the West or the legend of King Arthur would not. Any Gods count, because mythology was usually connected to religion. Modern interpretations / OCs are allowed as well (like the videogame Hades or Disney’s Hercules).

    You can think of this contest topic as a companion piece to the LEGENDS & FAIRY TALES contest from last fall.

    Congratulations to the winners!

    This is the third win for Hal Abarda, and the competition was a REALLY tough one this time. You can all be proud of yourselves, even if you did not make it to the Top5.

    Think of a fictional character you like and recreate it in the SP-Studio. It can be from a film, show, game, book, cartoon,... even mascots count. It can be human or an animal or monster. Your own OCs and real people do NOT count.

    This new contest topic was suggested in the topic poll and I thought it might be a good choice for the many new faces who discovered the SP-Studio last month. You can pick any fictional character, which makes it really easy.
