Of course, if someone is used to these kinds of programmes they can include their own drawings into edited pictures. Maybe one could even find a way to share such drawings.

Janina Could it be possible that many new visitors don't speak English very well?

You would just type them in like teh text in every other post. Basically you inserted images into a text field. Maybe it could get difficult to get in between the images if you didn't insert a blank line beforehand.

Immer wieder gerne!

In threads you created yourself you can also edit the actual thread. But that's mainly restricted to the title. I don't think that one can delete an entire thread again, because that would also affect the posts of others.

Posts also can be edited by those who wrote them. Here on the forum, there's also no time restriction for that. Even years later you can correct a typo, for example, if you find one.

When you look into your post, there's an edit icon.

Art Vandelay Probably Janina added the Léon part as in some countries the film is known under that title (or some combination of both). But then the accent caused problems.

As I'm often using SP-Studio as an inspiration for my own art, it's actually the very goal to gradually overcome the South Park style. In this picture for example only the design of the twig is left from Janina's illustrations.

But maybe this thread really isn't in the right subforum. What du you think Janina ?

Chirpcharps normally come in groups. But it's very hard to tell them apart.

Today, I tried to make the chirpcharp overall look more feathery.

I wonder if there's already a children's book about alien birds ...

I think slit pupils even fit better.

In contrast to the SP-Studio style, my characters always have an outline. So for the chirpcharp to fit in, I added one. Also, as chirpcharps are part plants, they need strong claws to sit in the tops of the trees and take a sunbath. Then I thought antennae would make them look even more alien.

I got an idea for an alien species for my stories. They should look a bit like birds but also be plants and they definitely should be cute. These are the inspirations I found on SP-Studio:

And this is my first take on the species. I think they could be called something like chirpcharps.

Welcome to the forum!

The relatively small bodies of the SP-Studio characters clashed a bit with my more realistic approach on the next page so I substituted them with rough sketches. Also, the big heads make scenes with multiple characters a bit crowded. So I used already existing own characters as stand-ins there.

As English isn't my native language I sometimes struggle a bit with the dialogues. Maybe some native speakers could give me some feedback on how natural they sound.

Welcome to the forum!

The next page is based on a concept art I once drew, so I could reuse the characters.

The idea came to me to experiment with visualizing the passage of time. I'm not completely sure how well that went.

For a while I've been thinking about creating my own comic. I think I used to show some early concept art in another thread. One problem I always face ist that my fantasy works very visually. So I always need some visual inspiration to get started. In addition to that, the interation between text and images often necessitates me to rework images I've already drawn.

Now the idea came to me to use SP-Studio as a visualization tool. So I would be able to quickly get an impression what to draw and where to leave spaces for the speech bubbles. Often I will have to heavily modify the SP-Studio drawings and add stuff but that's still quicker than drawing everything myself over and over again.

Here's the first page:

I have to admit that I don't know that movie very well, either. But Janina's beautiful new savanna background reminded me of East of Africa. After a bit of googling I found this still with Meryl Streep that I tried to recreate with the objects available.
