StudioSquidInk's News

Posted by StudioSquidInk - December 25th, 2022


Well it's live now. Volume 7 of The Cat house. Two new characters this volume. Watch Miyuki meet them and the chaos that ensues.


We'll be releasing pages Friday everywhere. Wednesdays for Patreons! We'll be doing this until we run out of pages. Going to be a long one. Of course when it's complete $10 Patreons will get a hi-res digital copy as well as it being up for sale on our Gumroad store. Volumes 1 through 6 are available now and it's one great way of helping support us and what we do!

Updates and news! It's been a while. It's hard to imagine how much time has passed so quickly since the last one of these. Been a lot of things going on behind the scenes. Those who probably get the most updates are our lovely Patreons and those who chill with us in Discord.


First we finished a commission that we started back in 2020 when the pandemic was starting to really take off. A short bondage comic, the one we've been posting, Sarah's Favorite Session. For Auproma on our Discord server. You may have also found him floating around our live streams on Picarto as TheNorm. While it was a great commission to do, and it was wonderful to show a loving relationship, and consent on the side of all things bondage. It did slow us down a bit more than we anticipated, along with everything the last two years have thrown at us. But we're really glad to have done it and for it to finally have found the light of day. We've been excited to share it, but we didn't want it to go on with long waits between pages. So this is why it's only being released just now. If you're interested in any more of his works, he has a short novella and his first full length novel over on amazon. Self published, way to go man. You can find him if you search Norman Luce.


Life this year (and last) has tossed us some not so great and difficult moments at us. But there have also been some wonderful changes for us too. Some that hopefully will help with being able to work on the comics and game more. Our art in general. We took a much longer break from doing comic pages from The Cat House than we usually would have. The burn out was pretty real for the both of us. Especially Nova. It's been a struggle to get our footing back, and to be in a good place mentally to do good work. We have now, since September been getting the comic rolling again. After a bit of discussion, we've finally settled on a date to begin releasing Volume 7. As promised it would be this year, and just in time for Christmas too! We will begin releasing pages again starting Friday December 23rd. We will release pages every Friday to everyone until we run out again. This should give us enough of a lead to be able to keep up with our weekly release schedule. For Patreons on the 21st.


The visual novel/dating sim we've been attempting to make, certainly took the hardest hit productivity wise over the last couple of years. We're still working on it. Some of the problem may be that we were very ambitious for two people. So while we have no notion of quitting, we are looking at strategies to be able to bring the game to life quicker, so it's figuring out how to scale some things back, with the full notion to release updated content, or new avenues at later dates once we have a base game down. Still much to plan and recalculate. This is only an update to how the game is progressing so that you know what's going on. We are not looking for additional help.


As for commissions, at the beginning of January we're going to give a small bump to commission prices again. Nothing like the bump we gave it last year, but a little to put us gradually closer to where we want to be at. So if you want to get one before they go up, before the first of the New Year. Nova is currently closed for commissions and there is no ETA for when he's going to be open. He is taking a break from commissions to help with the burn out he's been experiencing. WHEN he is ready, he will announce when they are open. You exceptions out there know who you are. Otherwise I (Alanna) am still open for commissions. So I'm your best bet if you're interested in one currently.


We still stream art live, at least once most weeks. It's another great way to chat with us and find out what's going on. Usually Saturday mornings MTN time, but sometimes Sunday mornings instead. You can find us over on Picarto.


That's most of what we have to fill you in on. We hope you are all doing as well as possible. See you around!

We're back. Rested and ready to start up the porn machine again. Pages will be picking back up again on Friday the 18th. You'll get a bonus of three pages to catch you back up to where our Patreons and Subscribers are at since their pages went up as normal while we were gone.


While we may have been on vacation, we did manage a bit of art while we were gone. Different from the normal. So look for that in the upcoming weeks.


Posted by StudioSquidInk - February 25th, 2022


Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you all know that Alanna and I will be out of town until the 15th of March. That means there wont be any new Cat House pages from us on the 4th or the 11th, But we'll be back to our normal schedule on the 18th! Everyone have a great couple of weeks!


Posted by StudioSquidInk - November 25th, 2021


If you liked Alanna's Snow fairy, you can now enjoy her a mug, or a t-shirt now. Hoodie. Yoga mat? Why the hell not.

Commission Information Here!


Hello all!


Some news from the studio. Alanna and I (Nova) have been talking for a bit. We both realized that come February of 2022 it will have been 3 years since we launched the official website fore Studio Squid Ink. This also means we have not made changes in prices to our commissions in almost 3 years. It's hard to believe that it's been that long already. I suppose in some ways it feels like the pandemic has made time vanish when we weren't paying attention.


Yes, you guessed it. This means Alanna and I are officially revising our commission prices and making adjustments where fair. We've gained a lot of skill in the last three years, and well unfortunately the price of living also keeps going up, and it is no longer realistic for us to continue at our current rate. We also put a lot of hours into each commission to give the best possible piece to you we can. We should have been making appropriate adjustments every year, but have honestly just forgotten. So yes, it will be a little bit of a skip this time around. But should be a lot more gradual in the future. And we will do our best to remember in the future. ^_^;


We're still tweaking numbers. Our current prices will stay in effect until the end of the year. Starting January 1st 2022, our new pricing will take over. So, if you're inclined, now's a great time to get a commission before prices go up.


If you would like to get a commission at our current pricing be sure you get your commission request into us by midnight on the 31st of December, and make sure you are in a position to roll with it in a reasonable amount of time. We won't hold a commission spot for you at the old pricing indefinitely.

Finally, for what you have all been waiting for! News on volume 6 of The Cat House.

We're getting to that point where we have just enough pages done that we feel comfortable starting the release of the next volume. Starting on the first Friday of December, (12/3/2021) we will begin releasing pages. Like usual we will release a page every Friday until we run out of pages. This volume is 30 plus pages. So, it'll be a bit.

However, if you subscribe on either Patreon or SubscribeStar, you'll get access to new pages every Wednesday before we release to the general public. The bonus our Patreons and Subscribers have gotten since the end of the last volume, has been a sneak peak at this volume. From story boards, to sketches, inking, various stages of coloring, etc. At our $10 tier on either platform, you'll get a digital copy of the comic when it's complete. As well as all the other general goodies we have. Like our monthly pin-up that you get to vote on. In full color now.

Support Us on Patreon or SubscribeStar

What can you expect in Volume 6? Aside from the general chaos and sexy shenanigans of the fair folk of The Cat House, you'll also get to meet the next member of the staff, as will Miyuki. Irena, our German nudist chef. No idea what The Cat House is? Well here's a good place to start.

Check Out The Cat House Here!

Remember, December 3rd! Or the 1st for for our wonderful supporters!

Hello all. Some news on a variety of fronts. There are some new things brewing in Studio Squid Ink. Some things we've been meaning to do for some time now. Somethings slowed down because of the pandemic, or became impossible. Such as getting together some things to hit up some of the many conventions out there. It was hard to proceed forward with so much uncertainty. While we fared well, others have not. So launching other things we've had in mind for some time didn't quite feel like the right time. Who knows how things will continue to go with this pandemic. But life goes on, so must we. And we're long overdue to kick our ass into gear.


Some avenues we've been pursuing may involve tangible merchandise. Because who doesn't love t-shirts, mugs, and stickers. News to come on that front soon, but it is in the works. >_> We are actually waiting on some samples to be made and sent to us.


The thing we really wanted to introduce today was a new platform we're on. We now have a page on SubscribeStar. What is SubscribeStar? It's just like Patreon, but much more on the friendly side with adult content. Does this mean we're getting rid of Patreon? No. Some people really like it. It's not a bad platform, but it does leave something to be desired somedays. But diversification in business can really only help. In talking with some fans, I've run into people who were inclined to support us, but weren't fans of Patreon as a platform. Thus influencing their decision to not subscribe. Also being friendlier on the adult artist content, it gives us plan B if Patreon finally completely banishes us.


SubscribeStar will be exactly the same across the board as Patreon. So, you won't be missing out on anything if you subscribe to one and not the other. Just like Patreon, subscribers, depending on tier, will get early access to art both SFW and NSFW. You'll get to see work in progress on our comic and visual novel/dating sim. As well as getting to vote on the monthly pin-up, copies of the hi-res jpg. See into the actual studio itself and the squids who reside there. Head on over here and check it out!

Will we be opening up any other platforms? We have our eyes on OnlyFans. Still waiting to let a bit of the dust settle from their Tumblr like SNAFU and see where they stand. But that may be coming in the future too.

So we're finally releasing pages for volume 4 of The Cat House. Volume 4 is pretty special as it was sponsored by one of our wonderful fans. Thanks to Grip, it's been a blast to work with you. It is 30 wonderful pages of fun and naughtiness. There is also a lovely new addition to the house. Sara, come and meet her ... if you dare.


Also with the launch of volume 4, we've re-launched our Patreon. There are a variety of goodies to be had between our $1, $5, and $10 tiers. We already have our first Patreon only pin-up up. Sara, to go with the launch of Volume 4. Votes are under way for March's character. So if you love Chrono Trigger . . . But there's also access to our comic, game news, and art early, before we release it to the public.


Also for a short while, new Patreon's that join at the $10 tier will get the opportunity to collect the first 3 volumes of The Cat House for joining, as well as volume 4 when it's complete. If you're interested head on over:
