Studio News

And some cute sticker designs.

By Alanna Harpsong

We’ve been quite busy working on The Cat House comic as well as things for the game. Progress has come along greatly. We’ve just finally finished posting volume 3 of the comic. We’re well on our way with volume 4. Which you can anticipate coming out in February. Starting on the first Friday the 7th. We will continue our normal routine of releasing a new page every Friday until we run out of pages. This one’s pretty long at 30 pages. It’s also a pretty special one. The introduction of a new character as well as being sponsored by one our wonderful fans.

With the new volume we’ll also be re-launching our Patreon. This will be a great way that you can help support us in making more content as well as scoring some goodies for yourself. Patreons will get to see the comic pages as well as the other art we are working on before we release it to the general public. Nova and Alanna will be alternating doing a monthly pin-up that Patreons will receive copies of. Certain Patreons will get to vote on the pin-up. Might be the theme that we’ve chosen, or characters. Certain Patreons will get to peek into the studio as well as getting to see more in depth the progress of our visual novel.

We also have our eyes on a couple of conventions later in the year. Much to still be determined about them. When we know more of what we’re actually able to achieve, you’ll know. But we’re starting to build up some stock to hopefully have for a table. These little guys above are turning into some pretty cute fucking stickers.

Just wanted to give a general update.

Studio on Vacation

Gallivanting across Germany and Iceland!

By Alanna Harpsong

Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that NovaCaster and Alanna Harpsong are going to be away for a while. Kaho will likely be lurking somewhere in her native state. We’ve got had a big vacation planed for some time to Europe. And we will be gone for a little over 3 week or there about. Alanna and Nova will be gone from the 16th of September to the 8th of October.

What does this mean for you? Well less art obviously. But more so to those that may have been noodling around with the idea for a commission. If you send an email and we don’t respond to you don’t worry. Chances are we’re reveling in geeky history things or drunk ….

We promise we’ll get to you as soon as possible when were home. We will try to keep an eye on the squid email, but no promises. See you when we get back.

New Art by Alanna

Tentacles and Beer! Tentacles and Beer!

By Alanna Harpsong

So here are a couple of pictures I’ve had in the works. One of the lovely Rosalyn from The Cat House. Originally I had planed to do just a quick pin-up of her in a German dirndl dress. For the spirit of Oktoberfest and because we will be heading out to Germany very soon here. I however did not anticipate the way it morphed into a German style beer label. But it was a fun idea and I ran with it. Which became a lot of fun to work on as it is out of the realm of what I normally do. This in turn inspired Nova to do a label of his own with Yasmin. We’re now playing around with idea of doing more of them with some of the other Cat House characters. But we’ll see.

The second image here is my newest tentacle creation. I introduce to you Gerhard Von Wigglesstein. My gentlemanly Prussian tentacle monster. Yup. I’ve been on a German kick. I’ve also been on a WWI kick because of Sabaton. So this is how this beautiful creation came to be. While I had never considered making myself my own pet tentacle monster, I do believe I have a new pet.

What’s Alanna been up to?

What's Alanna been up to?

Mostly slaving away on scripts and inking comic pages.

By Alanna Harpsong

I did have a few things to upload. I finished a little chibi I did. She’s a mascot based on coffee. For now we’ll just call her Coffee-chan. It was an idea that my husband and room mate had. We all decided to design our own coffee themed lady. Though I think I’m the first to actually finish mine. Hopefully I do little pin-ups with her from time to time.

Secondly I finally caught up with my father and I was able to snag a picture of the other tattoo he got done of my art. The elven druid I did a little bit ago.

Still pretty wild seeing my art on the back of my father’s legs. O_O

Back to slaving on comic pages and game scripts.

Welcome to My Dungeon

Another Fabulous and Rope Filled Commission.

By Alanna Harpsong

A commission for one of my very good friends. As always a pleasure to work with you. You’ve let me run wild again with your lovely ladies and I thank you. This time including a little bit of fan art with the lovely and vivacious Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She invited a couple of my friend’s ladies to join her for some close up, personal, one on one time in her dungeon.

I’ve been dying to play around with some shibari. I have a soft spot for it in my heart. So glad to have a reason to kick my ass into gear and finally do it. Of course, because my brain is treacherous and I love to torture myself. My brain had to go what would make this insanely difficult. Lets suspend them… in such a way that I can tie them together. T_T

Brain why you do this to me??!!

Reading Time

Reading Time . . .

New art from Alanna Harpsong

By Alanna Harpsong

Finished another picture today. This one’s been floating around for a bit. But I still really liked how it turned out so I got this one finished up. A picture of my Cat House character Rosalyn. I’d done a few pictures of Rosalyn like this just doing every day things. It was great practice, and really great at helping me move past some art block I had a bit ago.

So if you’re familiar with my Rosalyn I’m sure her reading a book must look strange. I bet you would have figured on porn magazines or something like that. Not that she doesn’t have a mighty collection of those. But she does enjoy reading books. Bet you can’t guess at her favorite genre though.

Newest Commission

Newest Commission by Alanna

Behold My Colors!

By Alanna Harpsong

This is my newest commission complete for my very good friend. Thank you Doc as always for commissioning me and giving me so much freedom to play around!

Doc asked if I could draw one of his lovely ladies bound to a standard of a D&D monster. I was free to pick the monster. It was a tough choice. My other candidate was a mind flayer. But the beholder won out in the end.

This was a lot of fun to work on. I have to admit the beholders teeth are my favorite part. I got to play around with a lot of lighting effects and that was fun too. Also an unusually large amount of pink for me. But it worked.

New Artwork by Alanna

New Art

Magical tattoos

By Alanna Harpsong

This is one I’ve been working on for a while. A gift for my father. If you see a red headed dwarf in my gallery that was the first gift I did for him. Because he wanted to get tattoos of my art. The dwarf was first and it turned out beautifully. It’s like the artist just ironed on my picture.

It was in a way an interpretation of him if he were a fantasy character. He asked if I could do another one for my mother. And so I have.

All three there for you to see. I look forward to seeing how this one turns out. I will share when it comes to be. I’d say if. But I know my father.

Cat House Visual Novel Update

Visual Novel Update

Some info on the visual novel based on The Cat House

By NovaCaster

Hey there everyone. NovaCaster Here. I wanted to give people a more solid idea of that were working on here since up until now we’ve only given out some basic information.

Some basic Frequently asked questions!

Q: What is the visual novel going to be about?
A: The game will center on The Holstrom manor (William’s house in The Cat House) and all of its insane inhabitants. The player will be able to date 8 different characters.

Q: What is The Cat House?
A: The Cat House is a hentai manga that Alanna and I have completed 2 volumes of. The 3rd volume is under production currently and will be released before the game. You can check it out by following the link in this answer, or checking out our gallery for it in the menu.

Q: What sex will the Player Character be?
A: You will have a choice of either male or female.

Q: Wait… So I can play both? Can I go after girls for some hot yuri action if I’m playing a female PC?
A: Yes! Or if you prefer a little guy on guy, you can go that route too. Or play both sides of the field.

Q: Is this game going to be available on Steam?
A: Yes! That is the current plan anyway! Since Steam now allows full adult content, it shouldn’t be a problem to get it on there.

Q: So how much replay value will this game have?
A: We are currently looking at having 32 different unique endings! So hopefully plenty! Alanna has been hard at work writing the scripts. So far we aren’t remotely close to finished with them, but they are coming along very well.

As far as other information about the games progress, we have absolutely no idea what were looking at with a release date yet. This is still very much in its early development stages. We have no programming done at all yet since we have to have some image content to work with before we can do any.

We will be using Visual Novel Maker as our platform for the games creation. I’ve already gotten quite comfortable with it in a test game I made as a proof of concept. So I know all of the ideas we’re incorporating into the script should be easy to do from a programming perspective.

Pretty much the first step before we start actually putting the game together is getting the character model assets to at least a working state. That has been our project first and foremost since they’re the most interactive part of any visual novel. If you want to see how they’re coming along, join us in any of our streams! We’ll be posting stream times in the event calendar on the main page as well as announcing them elsewhere! You can follow our picarto.tv pages here to get email notifications of when a stream starts!
