THANK YOU!

You've always been a giver, this support is how I show my appreciation for it.

Jeroen Brugman

Thank you too for these storyes and the art and inspire another artists to restart drawing again! ;)

Ramon Romero

Awww this is really nice to hear :) I had to unpledge everything for a month, because of economical struggles and your Patreon is the only one I signed up for again (now I'm in a better place) because DAMN I want to see all these stories to the end :)

NoNameC

sounds like the best way for me to enjoy gaining some karma points.

Olga Vol

Hey, I gotta say, thank you to you, Stjepan. Your art (writing and drawing) inspires me. I've been reading on Deviant and twitter for ages, I've only bought one book (but want more) and finally have have been able to take the dive to pay you back for all the pleasure and inspiration you've given me over the years. Keep up the brilliant work.

jdsandara

you are amazing! and I’m happy to be of any help and to give you the freedom to be creative… keep it up

pichi randoms

Thank you for your creative output. It is phenomenal and we are so happy to support your work. It is wonderful to see updates on everything you are producing [amazing and unique]. The icing on the cake is when I can walk down to my local comic store and pick up the hardcopy to read at my leisure. Your art & stories are astounding.

Bowman

You are my favorite artist and storyteller. That you can work on your stories and bring them to light is the greatest reward for us, your readers. I am glad to be here and get to see these stories as they grow and bloom. Short story: you are amazing!

Holly Lynn Walker

Been following your stuff for the better part of 15 years, man. Happy to help. Keep living the dream.

Sam

THANK YOU for the great stories!! I love my copies of Sunstone and plan to grow my collection as you release them because I love the worlds and stories you create. Keep it up! ^u^

Aldrea

Keep up the great story telling and your fabulous artwork!

Thank you so much for your stories! I love them all!

Yuki G.

As one of your addicts... Err fans I wish you well in producing all the content

Tamaria Lavelle

To parrot the common sentiment, I am so happy to support you and the amazing stories you are creating!

Grace

Keep doing what you love, we got your back.

Jimithey Nolan

I am so happy to support you, through Patreon, by buying your books, I've been so happy to find some well done smut stories that left the heart in the characters. Your not the only one, but I cherish each artist the manages.

You're an amazing artist who thrills the rest of us with the tales most wouldn't dare to even share with good friends. You do it with skill, humor and genuine dedication to your characters. It's inspiring! Keep it going, Man!

Hal Bowman

Wow, a modern gig technology that works for laborer, consumer, and service provider without collecting extensive data to sell to third parties? I'm glad it allows you to do what you love, because I love what you do. I hope it also allows you to take a break once in a while too. While supporting the work is great, I like to think this arrangement might support you in general. I will gladly step up to a higher tier with no additional content if you ever create a paid-time-off-tier.

Terry Edwards

Correctly.

Leak

i kinda like that expression response lol

Jack Hallows

How should I pronounce your name?

dude, you're gonna make me cry! stop it! you don't have to say thank you for anything. it's we who have to say thank YOU for sharing all your stories with us! giving monthly 6$ feels like change comparing to what you are giving us - and that's your world coming to life! you have no idea how much that means to me. I too have a created a world of my own that I desperately want to share with the world, but unfortunately, novels are not that popular as comics these days. but no matter, I hope that someday I will have the same opportunity as you and share my world to the real world. until then, you just keep on rocking this, my man!! you are an inspiration!!!

emperor prime

NO, THANK YOU! :P

Leak

I feel like it should be me, the patron, thanking YOU because you give so much for so little. I’d honestly pay many times more for what you put out <333

Love your work Stjepan!

Blake Northcott

Discovering the artwork for Ravine on Deviantart was one of the nicest surprises in years. It took me a while to get to check Sunstone as I'm not really into that stuff, came to browse, stayed for the wonderful character work and everything ever since. Now go and make some more Ravine !!! :-)

Nonkel Bob

You (and Linda!) do great work, and I'm happy to be able to reward you a little for it. Just, you know, take care of yourself.

Toby Dillon

Supporting you through Patreon and buying your books is honestly the least I can do! 7 years ago I found Sunstone and it changed my entire life. And I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that. It was the catalyst that kickstarted my journey to finally learn who I was and who I wanted to be. It's thanks to Sunstone, and a few other big facets, that I got to a place where I could find myself and my community and truly grow as a person. Sometimes all it takes is someone else's creativity to inspire you to step out of your own box. Thank you for sharing that creativity with us and for being such an open-hearted, open-minded and openly-transparent creator! I'm so happy to support you and hear all your wonderful stories!

Amanda

Thank YOU for creating so many amazing things! Sunstone got me hooked (I love Ally and Lisa to death) and then I stumbled upon all your other wonderful work and wouldn't want to miss out on it! Thank you so much for being so creative and for appreciating your Patreons. <3

Silke

Thank YOU for sharing your talent, art, and stories with us mortals. You have been an inspiration to me and so many others from illustrators and artists to cosplayers. <3

Asylumchild

This is exactly why I am supporting creators on Patreon! I'm glad it is working out for you so well. :D Your work is amazing.

Lukas Koch

Your gratitude is appreciated but unnecessary. I pay 6$ a month for comics that don't have their story arcs destructively interrupted every summer for some global-crisis/crossover. Worth every penny. Please don't start doing summer crossovers, BTW :b

Yesssss. YEEEESSSS!!! More seriously, it's a pleasure to pledge to your art. You are a fantastic person and a great artist.

Princeps Augustus

Thanks to you! really, even when I was unemployed the past year I still been paying the patreon because I love your humor, and how you really care about your chars and how you plot around the message you want to deliver. Thank you again, and please, stop when you need it, not after ;)

Linkros Leonhart

Love all your work and always happy to support where I can

TwentyScoops

Oops, that got sent too fast, sorry about that! Point is, fans get what they want, and you get what you want, and the sum of those two apparently means getting MORE of what we both want. It's perfect! You're doing great work, and I'm glad I play a very minor role in that. ^_^

To me, you're THE success story of why Patreon works. I've been a supporter since day 1 (of Patreon, that is), and I don't feel I've been overcharged for the things I'm getting, and I'm STILL looking forward to purchasing the new book when it's out.

I'm glad I'm able to be one of the people who help you feel creative. I love your work so much, that even when I had to make hard financial decisions, I insisted on supporting your Patreon no matter what! You inspire me to keep improving myself!

Hanna

Been a fan since i stumbled on your deviantart "humor" stuff under Nebezial...Its been a wild ride from there, finding not only your other account and the stories there, but also all of your wife's work. Keep up the storytelling you insane workaholic and i'll happily keep soaking it all up!!

Jesse Rosen

Like everyone here I'm so glad to help you to be free to create what you want. I'm so happy to see this stories coming to life! Keep making what you love and let your inspiration flowing!

Ellhann

Actually, I would say for me it's the other way round. I remember when I first saw your work - it was Witchblade and I was like woooow, who did these pages??! and since then I am a huge fan of your work. Be it Sunstone, Ravine, Queen and the Woodborn...etc. each is unique and magical. I am more than happy to contribute to your creative freedom. It's really a small price to pay for the world you created and where I can experience these wonderful stories of yours 😊

Nika

Love every store you produce, it’s a joy to have a ticket to your brain haha thanks for allowing us to be a part of the journey!!

Lo

The stories are fantastic, and thanks.

Gorel29

I’m glad I’m a little piece of your support. I’ve all your series and love your art. Your stories are great and I can’t wait to see how you progress!

Ames

Happy to be here and be part of your success!!

Saraphina

I feel lucky I am able to support your work. I first came across your work in Sunstone. I love the art, but for me the story gives the illustrations depth and meaning I could not imagine getting in any other medium. I can't wait to see the stories progress.

you're an inspiration, my guy. Thank YOU!!!

Soushiyo

My friend, I love your art. The fact that I get to help give you any sort of freedom to make what you want is amazing to me. I look forward to being able to buy a copy once its released :D

Zen

KEEP CREATING! Your stories are amazing, and let's not start about your art. I'd gladly pay a higher level if that existed, your work is so worth it

Jose Lopez Maldonado

I am so happy that I can contribute in some small way to your success. I fell in love with your style when I found Sunstone and when you talked about your ideas on Twitter and your art streams I just wanted to see them brought to life. I'm so happy that they became a reality because I knew your ideas wouldn't disappoint. So thank you. Thank you for your efforts and thank you for sharing this creative journey with us all.

Faye Fatale

Been following you since you wrote Sunstone, then had the pleasure to discover you actually wrote more. Really love your work, stay awesome, my dude.

Follow you as an artist is a two sides road. You create, we enjoy the work you present. The talent you have is something we admire. We are here for the long run and yes, we thank you too for you persistent.

Beatriz Cruz Vázquez

Wooo!!

hollyygram

No, thank you for your relentless work and art. Also thank you for the chance to feel like a 15th century nobleman patronaging the arts.

yaaay it's so great to be able to contribute!

Liz Denocte

You're welcome. It's been a pleasure watching your thought process throughout all of these. The things you didn't like and the way you changed them up. It's just been great.

Dennie Robinson

Very happy for you, been with you since the first Sunstone have the first 5 volumes in print. Your stories are fun and really showcase the humanity and flaws of your characters while celebrating their happiness and triumphs. Your illustrations are simply the best.

No Sir, Thank YOU! for bringing all of these awesome stories to life.

Nimrod009

Your work is worth every dollar.

Niel

Thank to you at first time.^^

I'm so happy to help make this happen you have one of the best minds and your patreon is more than worth it. Here's to years more amazing comics.

Brian Byrnes

If I may be frank for a moment, if the comic book industry still treats you like a no name after everything you've achieved, then it is a blind pile of crap.

Mikhail Aristov

You're very welcome! : D Thank you for the awesome Creations! <3 <3 <3

madlycan

Most welcome and thank YOU.

Lia Graf

One of the many things about the internet that has been good! Just please do not overwork your self! We don’t want to injure the “Golden Goose”. I do so enjoy your Well Told stories!

Robert

thank you for all the stories and the updates and wallpaper and all of that and more. Thank you for letting us see this creations.

Elisa Miggiano

Happy to help you make comics I love reading :)

Solène

You are very welcome! :)

Blazehoof

May your freedoms shower us in stories you never thought you were capable of.

Nick R. Kupila

Paprikahoernchen

More than happy to support you and everything you do, just so glad to contribute to you directly :D

I can't wait to see more of what you can achieve you amazing creative genius <3

Untxia

Thank you my man, I just want you to be able to do the stuff you do. I'm glad I can help, even in a small way such as this.

Eh. I mean, you did write wgat I consider one of the greatest romance stories of all time. Supporting the possibility of more of that isn't much on my part.

Charles Wiley

Thank *you* and keep up the good work! Also, I just came up with a name for a guild of Slavic comics authors: The Unpronounceables!

Amalija Vitezovic

Hell yes, I can't wait to read everything you've got planned

Ronan Keane

It has been really amazing to read all of these original stories. I really do love that I am able to directly support the content creator's that I love. To see that you are able to go your own way is really all I hoped for. Creativity doesn't always get the freedom and independence it should, due to the constrains of making a living. I truly can not wait for more of these amazing stories. 🖤🖤🖤🖤

Aleesha

Thanks Stepan ! You are an incredible artist and it amazes me how many creations you can deal at once. I came on board with Sunstone and till then, I discovered Ravine, Death Vigil…

Jérôme Beard

Can't wait to see where you go from here!

Wish i could give more per month but, alas, i'm broke 😆

Bagoo 95

It's been a delight following your journey, so happy for you. <3

Lilliy Alex

aww, that was a sweet post. I'm happy things are working out.

I have to say, no thank you for these amazing stories. Fine Print has been amazing and I cannot wait to see what else the story will go

YourBestCupid

this was so delightful to read! im so happy to help support you and allow you to share all these stories with us. you deserve every penny, man!!

Madeline Jackson

Thank you man for creating such wonderful stories. So glad you are getting to follow you creative urges freely! :D

From a fan standpoint it is a great to be able to support an artist directly without having to rely on a publisher or distrubutor

Stefan Immel

Seeing you evolve into your ultimate creative form is a sight to see. I'm so glad for you and for your artistic journey. You and your stories deserve the world.

So awesome you get to do what you love, man. You're a name to us! Also...I come from a line of Croatians with unpronouncable names. The struggle is real

Alex Lee-El

I've been following you for so many years and am so happy to see you finally get to stretch your creative legs. Keen to dive into more of your wonderful art and adventures :)

Ghost

I'm so happy you're stress free and feel like being able to do what makes you happy 😭 Honestly I support you since the early days and I don't even care too much for the monthly pages but just want to give... back! Thank you for creating wonderfull story's, worlds and Characters

AkinaChii

Mind you, I love your art like there is no tomorrow. And I love the incredible creativity you have inside. I am very proud to be one of your Patrons

Juan Diego de Usera Echevarria

Thank you for your art and for sharing that fertile ans bright headspace with us. Looking forward to see what shines in there😏... And to see Ravine raising from the ashes 😍

Thank you for being a creator who creates such emotionally rich and detail heavy stories. People support you because they love the work you create, it resonates with them. Keep up the amazing work <3

Sarah Bobruk

I hope you books from patreon will be translatet in German and official published in Germany. I hope this for "Fineprint" "Woodborn" and "Sunstone Mercy"

Thank you so much for sharing these amazing stories with us!! The world will be poorer without them! Here’s to you and yours and I hope that you will be able to pursue your dreams and do what you like and enjoy for many years to come!!

Ru .Petrakieva

Given the obnoxious state of the comic book industry, getting the funds and means to do your ideas seems like a huge victory and it seems worth the money to keep backing that. Keep doing what you are doing and I am looking forward to seeing more of these ideas see the light of day!!

A Dead Phish

Thank you for being a wonderful artist and storyteller. I am glad to see you having fun doing the stuff you want and me being a small part of it.

Hero Kage

What you do is so appreciated. Thank you for your work 💚

Zoltanina

You provide a lot of inspiration too! Both from a storytelling and artistic point of view. It’s been so fun seeing your progress.
