Every year starts with a look back: Your challenge is to create an SP-Studio picture about an event or important person from 2024. For example it could be your favorite film, a celebrity death or a funny viral news story. Any media release (movie, game, music album) and most news stories count. But you can also pick a personal event if it’s unique for this year. For example your wedding would count, but no picture of your annual Christmas dinner.

HATEFUL PICTURES ARE NOT ALLOWED. Please avoid any form of political propaganda. There are big conflicts at the moment which spawn a lot of hateful reactions. These contests are no place for things like this. Even if you mean no harm a picture without context can be misleading. So better pick a topic which does not relate to ongoing wars or similar political conflicts.

If you create a picture about any event which caused actual harm to people (like murder or a natural disater) please do not make it full of blood and gore. There were complaints about this in the past.

Please remember: You are only allowed to use the SP-Studio, so do not edit with additional software (no cutting, drawing or filters). Don’t resize your picture. Of course it must be your own creation.

Rules for uploads: When you upload your picture, please add a TITLE and your NAME! Use the same name for all your uploads. Names like anonymous, idk or me are not allowed. Too many use them.

Jury members are not allowed to talk about what their pictures are before the voting phase is over.

Upload your picture here: https://pollunit.com/en/polls/sp-studio-contest-2025-01

The rules are as always:

1. CREATE a SP-Studio picture about the topic of the month
   
2. UPLOAD your unedited picture until the 20th
   
3. VOTING will start on the 21st (jury votes count x2,5)
   
4. THE WINNERS will be announced at the start of next month

It's indeed Gizmo from Gremlins! Since this is one of my favorite Christmas movies I added his ears and mouth as the final updates. They will also come in handy for other monsters or animals.

I hope you enjoyed the advent calendar with all the different surprises. See you next year after my Christmas vacation!

Happy holidays and a happy new year to all of you!

Day 23: What strange ears are these..?

Day 22: A hot dog! While there already was a sausage in the food category, a hot dog with a bun was still missing. But I heard your hungry screams. So here it is in all its classic fast food beauty.

Day 21: One wish for everyday wear was about a cropped cardigan. You can use the "lock" button on a different shirt to wear the cardigan over it.

Day 20: Back to the 80s... Your character can now wear roller skates! Of course their colors can be changed to any wild combination.

Day 19: Cotton candy!

Sorry for the delay. I have not been well the last couple of days. In the end, I had demanded too much of myself with the daily SP-Studio updates, while I also had a stressful time in my job.

Day 18: A popular request was messy mascara after crying. And here it is! You can find it in the "skin / makeup" category and combine it with different shapes of eyes and eyelashes.

Day 17: PARTY! This party blower was one of the wishes you asked for. I was looking for something easy to draw because I did not have much time during the past two days to work on the updates. But this is my final week of work before my holidays, so I will have time to catch up later.

Day 16: The SP-Studio armoury was already piled high with countless blades, but there was no dagger... until now.

Day 15: As a matching addition to yesterday's witch hat here comes Elphaba's hair from the Wicked film. I splitted it into a short hairstyle and a low ponytail so you can combine the new pieces freely for different looks.

Indeed, it also works well as a Polaroid frame.

Nad now day 14: This witch hat was inspired by the broadway musical (and now film) Wicked.

Thank you!

And here it comes...

Day 13: With the new film strip foreground effect, you can present your SP-Studio characters with Hollywood style. As a surprise bonus the drawing is larger than it appears at first glance... This allows you to rotate and move the film strip to create more dynamic images.

Day 12: These special legs in shape of a ghost tail will be useful for creating all kinds of spirits or djinn characters. This was another wish from the Wish Voting Gallery.

Day 11: You asked for more realistic noses... And that's why there's not just one, but even four new ones today! Typically, SP-Studio characters don't have noses at all, but they can be very handy for caricatures to increase the recognisability. If they stand out too much, you can adjust the line color so that it blends in better with the skin.

Day 10: Theatre masks (comedy and tragedy) were added as a new shirt motif. You can customize the colors and shading and combine it with any shirt. I thought about adding more symbolic shirt motifs about hobbies / culture. Which would you like to see?

Sorry for being a few hours late with this one. This might happen again, because I have a stressful week. But I promise in the end no day of the Advent Calendar will be skipped.

Day 9: It was about time to add a tasty and healthy salad to the collection of food.

Day 8: I was asked a lot for more scene hair options, so today's update are these colorful raccoon tails as extra hair pieces.

Day 7: This new foreground effect makes it look like your character is behind prison bars. It can be combined with any background.

Day 6: A Steam Deck! Several handheld game consoles were already part of the SP studio, but now PC gamers no longer have to feel left out.
