so, time for some updates.
next week i will be posting the next strip and possibly another one. , by this i mean the next official chapter continuation. before that there is an alan ministrip i'm working on that is just.. ..well.. something nice, ull see not trolling this time XD
now , on publishing.
so far i have gotten a bunch of offers by publishers so that is not twhat is delaying it. personally i have my own preferance so i will probably take that road.
why it is still not out?
simple. going from the webcomic to standard comic format required a lot of work in creative cropping and reformatting.
this brought with itself a problem with making the writing fit.
this was an impossible task which required me to rewrite the whole damn thing.
flow has been significantly improved. small errors in continuity fixed,(like ally telling lisa that the bathroom is third door on the left when it is actually the second door... SHADDAP THAT'S IMPORTANT!)
a lot of writing is being redone. now, have no fear, it's still the same stuff, just better worded, smoother flowing, and less repetitive at times.
keep in mind that sunstone is very much made in a a stream of thought kind of writing, very minimal planning and editing in general. o the printed version will actually have that included.
i intend to keep everything good and smooth out the bumps here and there. and yes there will be pages added here and there
now some of you are feeling bummed out because you cant get the printed version where you live, or you just cant afford it
trust me i've been there. but you wont miss out.
because once i have published a few issues i will be posting updated digital versions here as a fresh new series of pdfs
sunstone never was a big moneymaking scheme, nor was it motivated by financial gain.
therefore, print is for those who want it and can and wish to support the project.
but i know well that not everyone is able to do that.
so trust me when i tell you, you will miss nothing
we have aaalot of funtimes ahead
shit... this was all way too nice---- i must think of something trollish...
i'll get back to you on that one

some updates and links
just because i don't like this site anymore doesn't mean i don't like the readers that made me who i am today. :) so i will be posting updates to things here with relevant links hell, may even do some journals. most that ai bots can pick up from that is my poor spelling :P anyhow, i've been assembling my galleries on pixiv for now. it's a temporary thing until i find someone who will make and manage a website for me. i have always said it and i stand by it. sunstone has been and will remain a free to read webcomic, and i hope to at some point have a proper place for it instead of these sites. it will happen but until then i set up my pixiv camp https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/36412059 you'll see that you can check mangas or illustrations there. i posted the actual comics under mangas. i also find their reader to be very good. i will reformat some stuff soon tho as i realized they have a horizontal reading option as a choice beyond that, with sunstone book 8 moving past its
sunstone statue and other goodies kickstarter
while i'm done with deviantart it would feel weird not to share it here as well XD https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/dynamiteent/stjepan-sejics-incredible-sunstone-statue?ref=vrctbt
bury the account in a field of potatoes :P
so as you may have noticed, i've planted some potatoes here as i didn't want to fully erase the long history of this account. why did i do this? deviantart's enthusiasm about and experimentation with ai generators is a hard pass for me. there are other reasons but this one kinda broke the camel's back what does that mean for sunstone? nothing really. it along other comics will be delivered regularly on my patreon with the queen and the woodborn and maybe even achilles shieldmaidens being made available via my webtoons account for now sunstone i will probably move to pixiv, twitter and tumblr all the relevant links added below patreon https://www.patreon.com/shiniebezial webtoon https://www.webtoons.com/en/challenge/the-queen-and-the-woodborn/list?title_no=502306 twitter https://twitter.com/stjepansejic tumblr pixiv https://www.pixiv.net/en/users/36412059 facebook https://www.facebook.com/stjepan.sejic/ instagram https://www.instagram.com/stjepansejic/ that's about it
fine print preorders- important information
just a bit of important info for anyone who is interested in getting the first volume of my new comic series fine print- or how a divine contract may not be the best cure for a broken heart seems that due to global issues with paper shortages comics won't be sent to second printings anytime soon what does that mean for fine print well, fine print is an indie book and as such has its printrun size defined by preorder amounts. this is not sunstone and it doesn't have it's prebuilt interest so the preorder numbers were significantly smaller and the printrun was set at a far lower number. point is after the preordered books are sold out not that many will be left out in the wild so if you are interested in the book i highly advise preordering it with your comic store, boookstores or amazon. again this is just for those of you interested in the book. i want to avoid the sunstone volume 2 hardcover problems where people didn't' preorder their volume 2 copies and that resulted in a

I'd love to see you on the website fetlife.com (if you're not already there... but I word searched a few things and didn't find you).
It will undoubtedly bring in a huge base of new Sunstone fans, to say the least.
