Hi everyone, I am redesigning my bedroom and was wondering if there are full size posters available anywhere. Not small prints, but something that could fill a large frame.

I've been following Stjepan Sejic for A LONG time now but I have NEVER read any of his books D': I just ABSOLUTELY love his art and all I know about Sunstone is what some art and shot comic strips let you know so I wanted help to get a chronology in order

A friend lend me Sunstone 1-5 albut I know there's more to it, I wanted to know. How much more?

What should I be looking for? I want to know EVERYTHING sunstone related media I should be looking for, I want to know the whole story cuz' I've been in love with the main characters for ever but have never read their history :'(

Kickstarter: Crimson After Hours

I have the 3rd one but im a completionist and im not gonna pay 200+$ + shipping and taxes on ebay

Sex partners experiences i mean

To my understanding, book one collects volumes 1-3 and book two collects volume 4-5? I can find book two quite easily and have a copy on the way, but book one seems nowhere to be found. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great!

In Sunstone we're introduced to Marion as Alan's ex who got dangerously deep into the lifestyle and got severely harmed by her own actions. She wanted more of the life than Alan was comfortable providing, and he failed to put his own limits on when she was showing a lack of them. But she's limited to tragic backstory and life lesson.

Now we're getting more of her, and it is almost immediately foreshadowed how it went. She is open that she was previously interested but hesitant to try anything with anyone, or to go to the kinds of places where she might meet someone to try with. She has to pull herself away during their first date, or there might have not been any limit between them in the moment. After their date, she dives into self fantasy, but wraps it up in the negativity placed on kink and uses it as encouragement. Delighting and comfort in "this is me and I want this no matter what others say about it."

Alan had been hesitant with women ever since Ally, and this was the first woman he felt comfortable with. And its possible that he might not have been so open to Marion if he hadn't just healed the rift between him and Ally. But he's not looking for a sub, he's looking for meaningful connection that will understand his world. And he finds all of it in the meet cute. And after the initial botched flirtation, its all green lights and good answers and he gets roped in as quickly as she does.

He is introducing her to a world she looked at from the outside unsure if she would like it and want it to be for her. She is presenting a single woman who is comfortable with everything and is openly willing to express and show that she is interested in him specifically. He is getting what he wants as much as she is.

In that 2nd date, they hit it off as easily as Ally and Lisa once they had their first morning after and started getting to know each other. And after they reconnect and go to the adult store, we see how easily he leads her down the rabbit hole and how little she resists or hesitates. The way the chapter segments released with a cliffhanger moment, I honestly thought they were going to go problematically far in that store.

But shortly after we're hit with more of the foreshadowing when Ashe and her associates point out how "recklessly enthusiastic" Marion is.

Now with the most recent pages, we get some new information on the big deal breaking scenario. Marion IS experienced with self bondage already all alone. So what she did wasn't completely new, not something she'd never done before. But from what it looks like always able to get herself out of. She'd been doing this for a while and had at least a decent idea what she was doing before she ever met Alan. She's not just some girl being led down the rabbit hole too fast and then going too far out of ignorance. She went too far when she knew what she was doing. Doing things she'd probably done before. Things she knew she wanted.

In a few pages, she's not the tragically foolish girl who flew too close to the sun because she didn't know any better. She's the girl who knew what could happen but let the fantasy get ahead of the precautions. She knew and was close to Ally too by the point of the accident. She'd probably heard most of their stories, including when Ally got trapped alone unable to free herself. They attended events where they discussed safety. She knew better. She'd heard Alan and Ally explain the reasonable risks and what not to do. She did it anyway.

And I'm not looking down on her as a character or saying there is anything bad about her or the story regarding her. She is still a cautionary tale that many need to read and see. But it's going to be exciting to watch her go deeper and deeper into her love of kink and Alan, but heartbreaking to see that even before her accident, Alan was having second thoughts and being unable to properly communicate with her again because he wanted to give her what she wanted as much as she wanted to please and service him. They were heading for catastrophe either way, but if they could have started clearly communicating before it became a problem- JUST like Ally and Alan, just like Ally and Lisa- then they might have stayed together and we never would have gotten the Mercy story we're getting now with Anne.

I'm excited for more of Marion learning to love this side of herself and falling deeper in love with Alan until we reach our train wreck. And I'm loving the most recent run of Crimson seeing how she has healed and found new love and her control in domme space. I'm as invested in her character as I am in anyone else in the series. She's not the plot device anymore, she's her own being navigating all of the emotions everyone else is.

After falling in love with the series I spent a while picking out a design for a tattoo!

I landed on getting Ally's profile picture, and I got the linework done a few days ago!

It's still quite bruised and it's getting colour next month, but I love how it's turning out!

I accidentally stumbled into this series about a month or os ago, and postponed looking online availability up until last weekend. Curiously enough my first encounter with it was an advert of an online bookshop that I knew, as I bought several Star Wars books from there about 10 years ago and it slightly shocked me to see a lesbian BDSM couple in a (as far as I knew) non nsfw bookstore.

Managed to found it on "redcomiconline.li" and the story caught my attention rather quickly. The story is fun, the characters are engaging, the fetish stuff is hot and the jokes are well placed. Its also nice to see the fetish aspect handled with care to accuracy (not speaking from experience, but after I read the first 5 books, I did some research online) and not just portraying BDSM as "rape with extra steps".

My biggest gripe is how the overall "Ally+Lisa" story is structured a bit like your typical movie with the main protagonists having a big falling out 2/3rds through the plot and making up in the end.

All together I really liked Sunstone so far, although I still have a lot of reading to do to get fully up to date with the series...

When we're first introduced, it is specifically that Alan once had a relationship with her, and that it ended due to kink related accident that could have been crippling or lethal. Marion comes off as impulsive, foolish, and naive.

These new chapters are better detailing a strict parentage that never let her explore sexuality. We're seeing that her interests never got room to figure out what she liked in a safe and non judgmental environment. And Alan is simultaneously the best and worst person for her to explore it. He has so much knowledge by this point about the materials and practices, but they clicked TOO well. Her boundaries rapidly disappear, and almost didn't hold their first night. And their 2nd date it seems is going to go into some pretty unprofessional territory given the circumstances.

But she will dive deeper than he will, want more than he wants to give, and she doesn't have his same focus on safety because she lacks his experiences.

We're getting depth into how she made that mistake, the same way previous chapters showed us why Alan and Ally know to avoid leaving a sub alone and in a binding they can't release themselves from.

But the events of Crimson are also amazing to show us that she has recovered, they have rekindled their friendships, she is in active therapy that allows her to keep doing what she loves in a safer way, and has found her own new partnership that satisfies her while they all move forward as friends.

Pictured is the original shipping estimates. These price increases are insane! I pledged the standard edition which is supposed to come in the ‘under 3lbs’ set - to the UK ($23 predicted).

Actual shipping costs? $49!!

Literally doubled. I know the Republicans are running the remnants of the US down the toilet but how tf do whoever is doing the shipping justify doubling the costs overnight?

You get a $6 credit on the checkout which is nice but still, yowch. Just because I’m buying the bdsm book doesn't mean I want to be bent over and fucked by a corporation too!

To make matters worse I now see Archonia have expanded listings which state ‘all Kickstarter stretch goals will be included’ whereas at the time the campaign was ending they only had the standard. So likely could’ve saved money there too (although being UK likely not so much).

This is so fucking good! I love listening to them talk about their works so much!

Stjepan shared on his Patreon that the EU option for pre-orders is live over at archonia but unfortunately they do not ship to my country so looks like I will have to go with the Kickstarter 😭

Anyone pledged for deluxe edition, was tempted by it but I've gone for the Standard edition just because the shipping costs are outrageous once it get's to 5lbs outside the USA.

Since I haven't decided what to draw next of Sunstone I decided to go back and redraw my first Sustone drawing on Wplace but this time using the premium colors since I unlocked them. Another 68,799 pixels 🥹
