    Create SP-Studio pictures about famous anime characters. As “anime” counts any hand-drawn and computer-generated animation originating from Japan. NO American fan animation in this style counts. OCs are not allowed this time. Of course you do not have to use the manga eyes. :)


    Examples: Akira, Spirited away, Dragon Ball, Naruto, One Piece, Sailor Moon, Attack on Titan, Fullmetal Alchemist, Death Note, Totoro, Heidi, Your Name, Pokémon, Ghost in the Shell,… You can find more inspiration here.

    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 (always mention the anime) 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 which picture is their's until the voting phase is over.


    Upload your picture here: https://pollunit.com/en/polls/sp-studio-contest-2024-04


    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

    When I visit the voting website with Chrome on my Android phone it works. I guess your error has something to do with your security settings. There should be an option to visit the page though. What happens when you select "Hide advanced"?

    It seems like I forgot to create the forum thread for the new contest earlier this month. Sorry, I actually thought I posted it.


    The topic was SPACE TRAVEL and the vote has already started now.
    It's a free topic, so let your imagination explore the universe. Astronauts, rockets, Sci-Fi stories set in space, Star Wars, Star Trek... everything is possible. OCs and any creative approach is allowed as long as there is a connection to the exploration of the universe. Your picture can be inspired by Science Fiction or actual NASA missions. You can make up a weird alien or show your heroic OC space traveller. You could even create a landscape from a far away plant. It's up to you!


    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.

    THE BIG ANIMAL UPDATE!

    With 40 NEW ITEMS
    (and some other improvements) this is the biggest content update since the SP-Studio relaunch.


    It gives you more possibilities to build cute or fierce animals. Or monsters! It’s up to you, but I know for sure this wild new freedom will lead to some interesting combinations for your characters. I spent the last months working on this update to make sure these unusual additions fit the base shape of the SP-Studio bodies. It turned out nature is very inspiring, so that’s the reason why I decided to have this huge update instead of several smaller ones. And I am really excited to finally share it with you now to see what you make of it! 🙂 I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed drawing it.


    A complete list of what's new can be found in the blog post:

    As always I am happy about nice comments if you like this update. ❤️

    The vote has started!
    And I am really surprised how many great and funny pictures we have this time. <3


    As always here are the stats:


    This time there are 76 pictures in this contest.

    From 111 uploads 35 were disqualified:

    8 were no SP-Studio pictures

    14 were double entries by the same person

    13 were disqualified for different reasons - mostly for not matching the topic


    9 pictures were labeled as [DOES THIS COUNT?] because I do not recognize the meme, but want to give a chance to clear things up in the comments.

    contest_2024-02_png.png


    Pick a (picture!) meme and try to recreate it with the SP-Studio! If you are not sure what a meme is, you can check Wikipedia. For this contest we are looking for meme images – so a funny video clip or web series would not count. If a video clip was also used for a popular static image meme it counts.


    Examples: Grumpy cat, Bad luck Brian, Pepe the frog, Momo, This is fine, Distracted Boyfriend, rage comics, Lolcat, expanding brain, Drake, Futurama Fry… You can find more inspiration here.

    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 (the meme you refer to) 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 which picture is their's until the voting phase is over.

    ...and don't forget to VOTE for future contest topics! :)

    The current decline of numbers is normal, because there only were so many people because of last year's TikTok hype with its sudden rise in visitor numbers. Unfortunately these things usually don't last long. But some will stay, and that's already good. :)


    I now started a poll with many different topics to choose from. You can pick up to five:

    Pick up to 5 topics for future SP-Studio contests! - Online Poll - StrawPoll
    What's your opinion? Vote now: Internet nostalgia, Web toons & web series, Advertisment mascots, Pocket monsters (Pokémon, Digimon, Palworld...), Anime, Emmy…
    strawpoll.com

    Unfortunately the theatre contest was the least populat topic of all time (as far as I can recall it). I understand personal preferences, but we want many to enjoy it and upload their pictures. :)


    There were many popular contest topics during the early years to choose from.

    The vote has started!


    The stats:

    This time there are 44 pictures in this contest.

    From 72 uploads 28 were disqualified: 2 were no SP-Studio pictures, 4 were double entries by the same person, 22 were disqualified for different reasons - mostly for not matching the topic. Only one picture was disqualified for being related to a current political conflict.


    There are still two or three pictures in the contest which are a bit extreme in their visuals... I wasn't sure if I should allow them. If you think pictures like these should not be allowed feel free to comment.
