Greetings!
October is a big month for us over here at Cuddly Octopus. First, we’re introducing six new designs to the store! The following covers are the new designs we’re introducing:
- Oshino Shinobu (Monogatari Series) by KyuriTizu
- Felix Argyle (Re:Zero) by KyuriTizu
- Momiji Inubashiri & Aya Shameimaru (Touhou Project) by KyuriTizu
- Michiru Matsushima (Grisaia Series) by sunshine
- Mimi Pearlbatton (Re:Zero) by Nyatrix
- Riko Sakurauchi (Love Live! Sunshine!!) by 53C
The lines and octopuses on the sample images won’t be on the actual cover and are added for protection of the image.
Upcoming, KyuriTizu has started on Remilia & Flandre (Touhou Project) – Sketch. After that she will be working on Lancer (Fate/Series) and a duo cover from either Kantai Collection or Touhou.
butter is still working on Camillia – Sketch. The first side is completed and hopefully he will be able to complete the other side this month. Additionally, we have a new artist, Kimoshi, who is currently working on the lineart and coloring for Megurine Luka (Vocaloid) – Sketch.
The other big news is that starting sometime this month, we will begin mail order sales for select covers of ours printed in Japan. With this, we are partnering with a new company called Sakura Palace that will handle some of our sales and logistics in Japan. Covers through this service will be printed by Fules on their Aqua Premier (Aqua Lycra) material, which is a premium 2-Way Tricot material. Because of this, these covers will be offered at a premium price-point and will have limited reservation periods, after which we will be unlikely to print more.
Of course, our cheaper, perpetually available covers will not be going anywhere; this service is offering a premium option to those who desire the highest quality prints. During this first month, only the R-18 versions of Shinobu, Felix (Male Ver.), and Momiji & Aya will be available for reservation. We will update this thread once we have further information about our Japanese distribution.
Don’t forget to occasionally check the “News” section on our site as we will be updating it with new sketches as they become available.
As always, thank you for continued support of Cuddly Octopus!

Last month we encountered a couple of days’ worth of delays in our scheduled printing as well as having to wait almost a week for our forwarder to ship orders, so we have decided to adjust the cut-off date for new orders to be the 20th of each month. This way, we will (hopefully) be able to ship our covers during the first couple of days of each new month rather than in the latter half of the month.
Onto the good news, for our June update we have added the following new covers to the store!
- Tionishia (Monster Musume) by KyuriTizu
- Izayoi Sakuya (Touhou Project) by KyuriTizu
- Megumin (Konosuba) by AkiAki
Upcoming, KyuriTizu started work today on Kinu & Velour (Fire Emblem) and will hopefully be able to finish Caster (Fate Series) and Yukari (Touhou Project) before the end of this month. Additionally, butter has begun work on Camilla (Fire Emblem), 53C on Emilia (Re:Zero), and sunshine on Hanekawa (Monogatari Series). We hope that these projects will be completed in the next month or two.
Out of popular demand, we are now able to help with custom printing, too (so long as you own the rights to it, of course), for the same per-unit price as any of our other covers. Our printer requires that all images receive color-correction which involves a small fixed fee of about $15 USD that must be paid independently of how many units of your cover you are printing. Your order will be treated as a part of our monthly batch and will ship in the same round of orders as you send your source files. As noted above, our cut-off date is the 20th of each month, so please take this into consideration when making this request. You may e-mail us at support [-at-] cuddlyoctopus.com if you’re interested in this service.

We will start posting an update here at the beginning of every month.
First off, the issue with the stitching has been resolved and should not happen with any future covers. There was a defect with the sewing machine that has been replaced.
You may have noticed that halfway through the month that we added:
We intend to update the store at the start of the month from now on.
Currently there is work in progress of the following 3 characters.
Two other artists will start at the end of the month on Emilia from Re:Zero and Camilla from Fire Emblem.
