Day 5: These fashionable striped gloves / arm warmers will keep you warm during winter. They were a very popular wish from the SP-Studio community. To make it possible to combine them with any color of hands they are a separate item in the “more accessories” category. They match perfectly with the standard hands from the "hands" category.

Day 4: An entrance to a school or any public building. This new place was a wish from the SP-Studio community and can be found in the "outdoor backgrounds" category.

Unfortunately it will take a bit longer to calculate the contest results for this month.

The export files from PullUnit have changed slightly and now my Excel formulars don't work anymore. They produce wrong results. Because of the Christmas special I don't have much time at the moment, but I will try to fix this as soon as pssible.

Day 3: Say hello to this cute little pet snail.

Day 2: Feeling a little bit dizzy today?

24 presents will be wrapped for you, with daily surprise updates!

For the 16th time I will draw new clothes, places, hairstyles and other objects for this SP-Studio advent calendar. Again all of these updates are free to use and most of the new items will be based on requests from the SP-Studio community. Visit the Wish Voting gallery to comment on your favorite update ideas or to suggest your own.

Have fun! And as always I am looking forward to your feedback.

Day 1: The first update is this festive Santa dress. This is a wish from the wish voting gallery.

I only decided about the first day yet, so I do not know yet what might be included.

36 NEW WISHES have been added to the Wish Voting Gallery today!

Even though I did not update the gallery during my break, none of your messages got lost. Everybody can comment on the new ideas now and discuss them to let me know which I should draw for the SP-Studio. Some of them will already appear in the Christmas special. And of course you can upload new wishes.

14 FAMOUS COSTUMES for the “special shirts” category!

This is the first content update after I had to take a long break (as explained in previous posts). But this is not the only reason why I named it the “I’m back!” update. To help me get back into it, I’ve chosen some old drawings of mine that date back to the Flash version of the SP-Studio. They have been completely reworked to make them fit the new SP-Studio and to support recoloring. So you can not only dress up as famous characters, but also customize the clothes for your own characters.

The costumes were inspired by Game of Thrones, Guardians of the Galaxy, Disney’s Gummi Bears, Mulan, DuckTales, Halo, Doom, Metal Gear Solid and Metroid.

Halloween is near, so let's play Frankenstein and create some monsters! Creepy or cute. The challenge is to combine at least two different animal species to an interesting new creature.

This is mainly meant to be an OC contest - so come up with your own ideas! If you cannot think of any combination you are also allowed to recreate a famous hybrid (like Pegasus, Chimera or Griffin) or even an existing one (like mule or liger). A combination of an animal and a human is allowed as well, but a regular girl with cat ears or a werewolf might be boring choices.

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 animals you combined) and your NAME! Use the same name for all your uploads. Names like anonymous, idk or me are not allowed. Too many use them.

Thank you!
The surgery went well and I am back at home. My eyes will need some more days to recover, but I think in three days I can go back to work.

Tomorrow I will be off to the clinic for a couple of days to get my eye surgery. The plan is to be back in action by the end of the week, but it depends on the healing process. So I'll just say "see you soon" - hopefully with better vision!

1. Unfortunately, realistic texture effects are not possible because the SP-Studio works with vector drawings. Vector art has big advantages for browser games like this, which is why I went for this route in the beginning: The loading time is shorter. It is much easier to recolor the items. And it is possible to resize without quality loss.

It is difficult to immitate the cardboard look (or similar textures) in vector drawings though. In the old Flash version that's why I used pixelated textures for the Prof. Chaos costume. Flash files were able to deal with this, even though the file size for these items got big. But I could not continue to use these textures in the new version of the SP-Studio because they don't work there. So now it isn't even an option anymore.

One thing I always wanted to do is to add a tutorial to the website how you can apply a "cutout paper effect" to your picture afterwards. This is possible with software like Photoshop or Gimp.

2. What David already wrote Moving already is possible.

New functions like these depend on Lars, because he is coding things like these and I cannot help him with it. At the moment there are no plans for it. Resizing was something we talked about in the past, but as David explained it only makes sense for certain items. If there will be more functions I think "changing layers" would be the most useful one and top priority. Because when you can change the order of the layers you can change which items hide other items. This would be a very complicated update though.

The challenge for this month is to upload a SP-Studio.de look-a-like of a really famous actor or actress (living or dead). “Hollywood Star” means they must be internationally known and not just famous in one country or for small indie films. Think of somebody who would walk the red carpet at the Oscars.

You can show them in character (in a film scene) or not, this is up to you. OCs are not allowed this time, because we want to be able to compare your picture to an existing person. Think of it as a caricature challenge.

After the last topic was not well received I decided to go for something simple everybody can easily relate to. There should be plenty of famous actors to choose from. Remember "Hollywood star" does not mean they must be born in the U.S. - I just needed a short term to describe big film stars of international fame.

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.

Although it seemed to be no popular topic we got a strong Top5 - and even a Top6 this time, because Awlr and NM99 collected the same amount of points.
