The next update will be a hairy one, because many of my visitors wish for more hair-styles and beards. And of course I will not ignore you, so I will start drawing and upload them soon. Till then feel free to write your requests for this update in the news comments. Celebrity pictures are a good inspiration, it is always best to post a link to a picture instead of just describing a hair style. I am curious about your ideas!     [ 161 Comments ]

The last surprise of the Advent Calendar is revealed! I decided to draw some New Year's objects, because many of my visitors asked for that and it's a nice way to end the Christmas Special. I hope you enjoyed it and some of the new items can be useful for you! Thanks for your great participation, I will remember your requests for upcoming updates. Of course I read every comment and e-mail, so don't be sad when your wish wasn't implemented now - perhaps it will appear in 2010. For example I will add some new hair styles then.

Now I need a little break... drawing so many objects was a bit stressful. Let me make a small remark though (fitting to Christmas): I work on this website in my free time and don't get payed for it, so of course I am always thankful for voluntary support, because that's needed to help the SP-Studio stay alive. So I am very happy about even small donations (Paypal: janina.norn@gmx.de) or a present from my Amazon wishlist. Perhaps some of your are inspired by Christmas to think about supporting my project. And thanks to all of you, who did this in the last couple of years! Of course it's just a small part of my visitors, but I appreciate it very much.

See you next year, I wish you wonderful holidays!     [ 35 Comments ]

It's December 1st - and so this year's Christmas Special can start!
I got so many nice requests that it'll be difficult to choose only 24 of them. But I will try my best to draw useful new things, and of course you can still write down your wishes here in the comments.
The surprise for the first day is a saxophone, because that's the music instrument most of my visitors wished for for a long time. I hope you like it!



I will update this Advent calendar every day when I add a new item to the SP-Studio, so don't forget to check it out tomorrow :).

PLEASE remember: NO different body shapes!
I have explained so many times, why I will never include this... please stop asking.     [ 327 Comments ]

To be honest I didn't want to do another Christmas Special, because last years was so much work to do... But there was no update for two months now and so I think you deserve something BIG! :) Starting on December 1st you will find an Advent calendar here, which will reveal a new surprise every day. Those will be objects for the SP-Studio, which I will draw based on your wishes. So feel free to write requests in the comments under this posting or via E-Mail - and perhaps you are lucky and your idea is picked! I will also ckeck the mails again I got for last year's Christmas Special.
So don't forget to come back on Tuesday!

Oh... and please only suggest real items I can draw. I cannot add special features or different body shapes. I thought you'd know this ;).     [ 116 Comments ]

When I first had the idea for the "SP-Studio" back in 2001, my intention was to help fellow South Park fans to live out their creativity, even if they cannot draw or paint. At the beginning there were just a few clothes to choose from, but their number grew over the years and with today's update there will be many more possibilities to create any character you want.

I noticed that there are 2 groups of users: Some want to create a funny character as fast as possible. So I left the "unique designs" as they are, because they are the easiest way to dress up.

Today's update is for the others, who want to be more creative. I reworked the "freestyle collection" for you. Now you can't just choose the colors for those clothes, you can even combine them freely in up to three layers. You can switch layers by clicking on the numbers on the left side (1 = underwear, 2 = middle, 3 = on top). So for example you can wear a dress under a shirt under a jacket. There are more basic clothes, patterns and colors to choose from too.
By adding this feature there are countless possibilities to combine clothes, especially if you use some fashion accessories too. You can create interesting things by combining different clothes and moving them a bit around. Give it a try, I hope you enjoy this update! And I'm happy about some feedback, so feel free to tell me if you like this update.     [ 37 Comments ]

Just a little notice for everybody who has a Facebook account: I founded an official group for the "SP-Studio" there. If you like my website you can join it and I will keep you up-to-date with what I'm doing, you can leave feedback, show your pictures and discuss with others. You can find the "SP-Studio" group here, and I'd be happy if many will join it.
But don't be sad if you don't use Facebook. Of course every update will still be announced here, it's just a little extra service.     [ 3 Comments ]

I'm back! Thanks for your congratulations regarding my wedding :). The last couple of weeks I was very busy with this whole thing, but now I can continue working on the SP-Studio again.
I'm working on another update right now, which will be finished this month. It will be about clothes - but I won't tell too much now. I'll try to upload it around September 20th.     [ 22 Comments ]

I'm less busy now and so I can start working on SP-Studio updates again. Thanks for your patience - and of course many thanks for your nice comments regarding my upcoming wedding! :)

Today I present you 13 new background images, so you can send your characters to varied places now. I added your favorite wishes, so I hope you enjoy this update and it helps you to be more creative when you build your own characters. Included in the new update are motives of big cities, nature and even space and an under water scene. The new places are marked with white stars.     [ 49 Comments ]

Thanks for your feedback to my last posting, I read all of your comments and will include your best ideas for new background images! But unfortunately it will take a bit longer than expected, because I needed more time to work on my website Planearium.de. But now the planearium update is finished, so I can concentrate on the SP-Studio again. The new places will be added in July.
Oh... And another reason why I'm very busy right now is the fact, that I'm getting married in August. :) I hope this is a good excuse for my lack of updates these months. ;)     [ 33 Comments ]

I'm very busy with working on my German South Park website Planearium.de at the moment, because I'm changing the whole design an update every catgory. That's a lot of work, and so it might take about a month till I find enaugh time for the next SP-Studio update. I hope you understand that. But I can already tell you what the next update will be about. The Planearium visitors had the chance to vote, and they decided that I should draw more background images. So it shall be!
You can write down your wishes for new places here in the comments, and I will include the best ideas in the next update.     [ 87 Comments ]

It's time for another update, you can find new parts in the SP-Studio now!
There are 9 new symbols for your shirts and 3 new glasses, one new pair of hands and more lipstick-mouthes. You can use more eye-makeup now and you can pick different colors for the scarfs and ties.
But the most interesting parts might be the new "fashion accessories" on the last page, because now you can add small parts in different colors. You can use them to build superheroes and wrestlers, or combine them with other parts. So for example you can create long gloves or striped legs.
Have fun with those small, but usefull new parts, and I hope they'll support your creativity in creating your own characters.     [ 40 Comments ]

Now have a look at the SP-Studio, click on "stuff" and you will find a new category there: animals! Cats and dogs are the most common pets, so I drew them in different colors and patterns to make it easier for you to recreate your own pets. Of course you can move every single one of them to the place you like by clicking on them and using the little menu which appears. It's works the same way like with the others items.
When I created the new category for the animals I added another one: "fashion accessories". There are no new items in it, I just wanted to organize the whole stuff in a better way.     [ 60 Comments ]

Here's a little update on what I'm working on right now: There will be pets in the SP-Studio! I'm trying to focus on one special update every month, and this time it will be about our four-legged, feathered and flaky friends. Many of you have asked for something like that in the past. At the moment I'm still drawing, and I try to finish this update till the first days of march. So keep checking back :). You can use the comments to tell me about your wishes for certain animal species you want to place next to your South Park character (just no dog breeds please, that's too special).

Update: It will take a few days longer than excepted, because I want to include more of your wishes from the comments. The animals will arive on March 15th!     [ 86 Comments ]

As I promised there will be more SP-Studio updates. This month I drew a lot of hair, because I didn't add any new hair styles for the Christmas Special. Now you can find 27 new hair styles in the SP-Studio, of course in 60 different colors. Some of them are based on my own ideas, some inspired by your wishes. To keep everything well arranged I parted the category in two for short and long hair, because there are more than 100 different hair styles now. The new additions are marked with a white star. I hope you like this collection and everybody can find his favorite hair style now!     [ 85 Comments ]

I installed a blog software for the SP-Studio news today. So from now on it's easier for me to inform you about updates, you can use RSS feeds and write comments. I'm not sure if it works, because I get over 50.000 visitors per day on this website and so it might end in chaos to let everybody write comments without moderation - but I decided to give it a try :). If it's too chaotic I can restrict it later.
Like the rest of the SP-Studio homepage the news are bilingual too. You can switch to the German version by clicking on the flag up there. I added some older updates too, but that's just like an archive and so you can't comment them.
Well, I hope you enjoy this new web 2.0 atmosphere around here ;). And here's an exclusive little announcement for you: Tomorrow there will be a SP-Studio update! So check it out, there will be a lot of new parts for one category, and I'm sure they will be very useful.     [ 25 Comments ]
