Superstar creator Stjepan Šejić’s characters Ally and Lisa from the smash hit mature romance comic book series Sunstone make their way into the third dimension for the first time, as Šejić and Top Cow team up with Dynamite to offer a stunning statue available to order now on Kickstarter!
For this first ever statue of the central protagonists, it was vital for Stjepan Šejić to be involved in each step along the way as the creative force. He oversaw the overall design, every paint color, each eyelash and strand of hair. The highly detailed piece stands at 11.75 inches total, with two nearly 10 inch tall figures and a 5.25 inch base. Each piece is hand painted.
Few creators are so heralded both within comics and beyond as Stjepan Šejić. From his jaw-dropping artwork on major titles like Harleen, Aquaman, and Suicide Squad, to his extensive viral fan art pieces, fans of all types are obsessed with his luscious style that straddles photorealism with genre elements. Yet in addition to all that, Šejić may be most celebrated for his independent creation Sunstone. The title has been a trailblazer in bringing the mature romance genre to mainstream comics, following a legacy of most of that material existing somewhat “underground.” An LGBT romantic comedy story with BDSM elements, Sunstone has been met with incredible sales, critical acclaim, a legion of fans, and spinoffs and titles inspired in its wake.
At the heart of Sunstone stands Ally and Lisa, the fan-favorite couple that started this still running and evolving franchise. Lisa is an aspiring writer with submissive kinks but limited experience exploring them. Ally is a successful programmer with a dominant side. The two cross paths online when Ally discovers Lisa’s erotic writings, leading to a thrilling, passionate friendship and sexual relationship in real-life.
Eight years later following its debut, fans continue to discover and devour into the ups and downs of Lisa and Ally’s saga, subsequent story arcs, and spinoffs.
In addition to the base statue option – which is practically two statues in one! – three even more limited edition variants are being made for collectors and artists. A blank edition allows fans to paint the characters themselves for a fun project, alternate abstract take, or just to further observe the minute details. A “diamond eye” edition uses a special material that causes both characters’ eyes to shine. Lastly one can get a blank diamond eye version, limited to only 39 total copies.
Beyond the statue itself, fans can get several awesome add-ons, or even focus on these if they’re big Šejić fans but are not sure about the statue. A sweet and saucy sticker set allows fans to show their love for the series wherever they want to stick them! A five piece limited edition Sunstone trading card set is being offered. As is a 20 page sketchbook filled with beautiful images of Ally and Lisa. For art collectors, Šejić will also be offering 30 limited sketches of the characters on 8 by 10 inches sheets with cool tone black and white copic markers.
Whether a fan has been reading Sunstone or following Šejić for nearly a decade or is a newcomer to the series thanks to new formats or recent discovery, there’s an option for every fan here! At the heart of it all is this beautiful limited edition statue that has been lovingly crafted.
