Comics deserve to be read everywhere.

Octopi Studio is a full-service partner for publishers and IP holders — translating, illustrating, and licensing comics for readers around the world.

Built by people who read comics for a living, not just localize them.

We started Octopi Studio because comics kept getting stuck at the border — a great series in one language, invisible everywhere else, waiting on a translator who understands sound effects or an artist who understands panel flow. So we built a studio that does all three: language, art, and the rights conversations that connect them, under one roof.

We named the studio after the octopus for a reason — eight arms, one mind, working on different parts of the same page at once. That's how we treat every project: translation, art, and licensing moving together instead of getting handed off between vendors who never talk to each other.

One studio, three ways to move your story forward.

Localization

Translation, lettering, and cultural adaptation that keeps a story's voice intact in every language it travels to.

  • Script translation & typesetting
  • Comic-specific lettering & SFX adaptation
  • Cultural & regional sensitivity review

Art Services

A full art pipeline for publishers who need extra hands — from black-and-white cleanup to full-color covers.

  • Line art, inking & coloring
  • Cover illustration & character design
  • Digital remastering & touch-ups

Partnerships & IP Rights

We connect IP holders with publishers and platforms, handling licensing so creators' work reaches new markets and formats.

  • Licensing & rights negotiation
  • Publisher & platform matchmaking
  • Cross-market IP strategy

A straightforward path from script to shelf.

One team handles translation, art, and rights — so you're not juggling three vendors and three timelines.
