so a few days ago i got a sudden scream inducing shoulder pain. i should preface this by saying i don't think i've ever screamed from pain in my life so... that's newturns out i got what is called and i'm translating: a rotator cuff injurywhy? i don't fucking know i draw comics for living and it's not even my drawing arm. but it is something i'm supposed to rest through. so basically during these two months my output will be a bit reduced in pagecount. i apologize for that profoundly. i will catch up to it in the span of the next few months. the annoying part is it will also affect the printed versions for sunstone8 and fine print 2 as well.it doesn't help that in july i gotta do san diego comic con as well. mostly cause it's my chance to sign the kickstarter  sketchbooks. so yeah. a bit of a shit update from me today but i guess sooner or later  you gotta take a moment and heal some wear and tear.bah. anyhow, sunstone will be up in a few days then crimson then fine print. this won't stop me! I CAN DO IIIIT!!!!

Hope you feel better soon

TAKE A BREAK!!! Rest as much as you need to heal properly.

Nchalada

Oh bugger! Hope you get lots of rest and plenty of sympathy from those around you!

So, you're saying that the hamster that is selling your thumbs on eBay...doesn't actually have your thumbs? ...at least I didn't put any money on the bids.

Sarah

Feel better soon ❤️

Bacon_ki113r

I'm rooting for you bud. I still plan on getting you that walker we discussed on Twitch still.

DJ Scott

I work as a massage therapist and I've seen that kind of injury before, that sucks. Do you know which muscle in the rotator cuff specifically, and were you given any rehab or referred for physiotherapy?

Naviak

Rotator cuff injuries are the worst! Take the time it needs to heal properly. <3 Thank you for the update.

Anissa Roy

REST and heal! We will be here for you!

Jason Schaffer

Heal up quickly! Take your time and we’ll be here waiting for your updates.

trevor isle

Only got two arms. Look after them 👍🏻🙂

Ian

Rest well, Sejic. We'll pray for your recovery and take your time. We're all humans after all. It's totally understandable.

Jessica Dowell

Man, nobody will be upset if you take a break. You're so freaking awesome and work so damn hard, you deserve it - and by the sound of it, your body demands it.

Ariel Burgess

Please take care of you. The art will be there when you're ready. Sincerely an artist who has had to tell insurance agents, no I didn't get in a car accident. I'm an artist.

Jordan Stark

I may not be able to stop you but I can tell you... SUNSTONE! Now rest and let yourself heal!

Oogiku

Believe in you hon! Those type of injuries take time so you need to rest.

Michael Gordon

Definitely take care of yourself and don't overdo it! You know we're not going anywhere!

brick_hausdorff

Please stop and let yourself heal so you don't have to live with the pain and injury long-term.

Makenz

Fuck! That sucks you keep having these injuries from out of nowhere. Also Fuck!I hate cons and now I guess I have to figure out how to go to comic con…

Brian Byrnes

Get well soon man. We'll be here for whatever you can do. You always over deliver on the content here.

Zurvan

Get well soon! Nothing can replace your health and body

Onyx

Take care of yourself first! If you push it it could take it longer to heal, and that will slow you even more. You do a fantastic job and no one is going to begrudge you healing from a rotator cuff injury. Less for a while is completely ok.

Tyler Lyon

Currently recovering from a rotator cuff injury myself; it is no joke! Take care of yourself first, and don't rush your recovery. We're all rooting for you!

Samantha Moreno

Oh no! Please rest up and don't push yourself too hard! You don't want it to get worse! You're going to SDCC!?? I'll be going too! 😆

Ricardo Barrig

Or... you can rest. Yeah, please rest. We can wait.

Mikael

Take care of yourself.

Flono

Rest up man. Wish I was going to SDCC... But seriously rest up and get well soon.

Kaiyeti

Take a break, get some rest and recover. Your health and happiness come first. *Healing yetihug*

Douglas Fugate

I think you will find, as age advances, that things on you will just break for

Douglas Fugate

no reason. Sorry, hit enter by mistake without the shift key. I sprained my knee once while sleeping. SLEEPING. So...a preview of things to come. Feel better soon.

Thy Mian

Ayy, Stjepan, get well and take a genuine break. Please, rest and take care of ourself first and foremost. We happily wait. Your health always comes first.

Fox

Ugh, that sounds awful. I'm so sorry about the injury. I understand the pressures of deadlines and other professional stuff, but please take care of yourself whenever and however possible. I don't mind reduced page counts and seeing stuff later if it means that your long-term well-being is improved. I'm wishing you the best.

Natalie W

Sending good healing vibes! Also, rotator cuff injuries are nothing to fuck with, so glad you’re taking time and space to rest and recuperate! I agree with others who encourage you not to push yourself too much to play catch-up if you can help it!

Milk tea

Rest up lots!! I got a shoulder injury recently that sucks so bad and it's not even a rotator cuff injury, do what you need to do to get better and try not to rush your recovery!

C. A. Bridges

Take care of yourself and don’t rush it. Listen to your doctor or therapist. We can wait as long as you need.

nbarnes

Your secret life as a major league baseball pitcher is revealed!

Charles White III

Dear artist who makes the world's I love come to life I wouldn't care if you stopped completely to let you shoulder rest and heal properly your health is more important take care and smooth recovery

Zoltanina

You know the drill. We'll all tell you to heal and for the love of everything not try to make up for it afterwards and you won't listen. But at least we tried and we fucking mean it. Take care!

Jérôme Beard

Be careful with that one. Take your time… really. Wish you a speedy recovery.

foolovessushi

If you don't wanna continue screaming, make it no pages till you're done healing. This happens, it's why many countries have legislation that allows people to heal before they return to work. You're not an exception, so take that break.

SunWho

Feel free to ignore the unsolicited advice. Take it easy, stuff like that is often due to overworking/stress or compensatory motions or posture. Heal up, do as little as you can and be safe. A good physiotherapist can help you identify issues that might be at the root of the problem. You know your own body though. Take care dude and get well soon!

TecnoSmurf

I know you have a certain demand of yourself, but treat that careful. We are not holding an injury against you. What happens, happens. Take your time to heal. No one will judge you. Take care!

Carolyn

Please take the time to fully recover and just let your mind wander as big as you want (maybe record it for later). Knowing your mind, it will be EPIC! We'll all be here waiting and cheering you on to your best health. Hang in there!

cashlessplace

We are all here because we love you content, take your time and heal!! I can speak for my self and I would think everyone else here, take a break rest and when your ready and healed start work on Patreon content again. Take care of what YOU need first!!!

Dirk M. Schut

Dude, chill. We'll be here regardless. Take a breather and get better. Take the time to recover.

taeyukki

take the time you need to rest and get better, don't overwork yourself, we won't be going anywhere!

Rutger Lalieu

Hope you feel better soon! As people have already said, take your time to heal properly and please don't get hung up on trying to catch up!

Nika

Jeez, Stjepan, you should know by now, that we value your health and well-being, so no need to stress out. Just chill, take your time and do whatever you need to do to get better! We can wait. The content you gives us is so worth it.

Haatch

Dumbest injury I ever got was a shoulder injury...because I slept a weird way. (Even though I slept roughly that same way most nights for forever.) AND I was only 26!

Desmond Auer

Yes, you are perfectly fine, as I am perfectly fine with my chronic back injuries (crush fractures, disc acculusions, annular tear) and now 'tennis elbow' with associated nerve iritation in my primary arm. DOOFUS. Look after yourself, othwrwise you are going to 'art' yourself into early retirement, and Linda will be VERY unhappy... and we don't want to upset Persephone, do we?????

Spelt Wrong, but right.

Wow that sucks, hadn’t heard of an injury like that come to somebody like an artist before. But I still hope you get the best. That stuff can be rough. And don’t worry, we’ll be fine so long as you are.

Mikhail Aristov

I've always said you're constantly overworking yourself, man. I know you love drawing (and I love your drawings, too), but when your body starts breaking down without an apparent reason, that may be a sign that you've pushed it too far. -__- Get well soon!

nik ansre

Just Rest. Your health is more Importen then getting out chapters in time.

Amelia T

Please take it easy with work and rest a lot! Hope you feel better soon 🫂

Tsutako

Please rest!! Your normal output is insane, you can take it easy for once and focus on recovering properly. Perks of getting older, you look at something funny and put your knee out 🤣

Olga Vol

please rest, recover and get well.

Christian Meyer

Get well! I know your standing on this, but if in doubt I'd prefer you healthy than a few pictures.

ShamWerks

I feel for you brother. I've had out of the blue "frozen shoulders" (adhesive capsulitis), right first, then left, 3 years of pain in total. I'm not ashamed to say I did scream more than a few times from the pain. Ice pack on the shoulder can help with the pain. Bending over to let the arm drop (the other hand on a table for example), while holding a weight (bottle of water?) and making circles, was the one exercise that helped. Take care of yourself first buddy. 🤗🙏

Ordalia

Rest well and take as long as you need, heal quick and safe to get rid of that awful pain. We'll gladly read those pages later !

Jonathan Doyle

"this won't stop me! I CAN DO IIIIT!!!!" That it better be rest and care or I'll get Linda's permission to sit on you. You do not want that.

Lukas

get better & rest well

Amalija Vitezovic

Ouch! That sounds painful. Sending patience and healing vibes! <3

Skyeanna Malito

Self. Care. We can wait for updates while you take the best care of you.

GKC

Get better first. Page output later.

Leak

Ooof... :( Science can't be fast enough to invent a usable, non-invasive brain-computer interface that allows one to control the equivalent of a stylus just by thinking... :/

sarah

Take care of yourself! I hope you have a smooth healing process!

KF5TQN

Dammit Stjepan, take a break & rest yourself as the Dr orders. It's not worth the risk of losing your art forever.

Lord_Cog

I am glad you are determined to get it done, I really am! however, please make sure you are fine before that. I don't mind waiting a bit so that you can heal. You are awesome Stjepan! please take care of yourself first!

Daph

My partner also got a rotator cuff tendonitis, it's horrible at the beginning but the pain decreases really fast if you rest it ! :) take care, we'll be waiting !

peter berghuis

take some time off to heal mate. use the time to maybe audio dictate yourself some ideas ^^

Jim Sharkey

A rotator cuff injury? Did you take up baseball pitching in your spare time or something?

Nimrod009

Rest up, take a break, we can, and will wait for you to be better, OK 👍

Bibsguela

Please rest up and get well <3

Jose Lopez Maldonado

Take care of that, and take it seriously. It could permanently limit your mobility. We'll wait, don't worry about us. Your health is first (P.S: The shoulder can go so far without stretching, creativity has its limits ;))

Jesse Rosen

Take care of yourself you freaking workaholic! Your fans love you and will be here!

VM

Hell yeah you can do this! Hope you feel better soon! 💜

Mika Eisenstern

Please take care of yourself and rest. We can wait.:)

eweasel1

Why do I imagine you screaming and then yelling SUNSTONE! SUNSTONE! Get better soon.

Marcos Quiroz

I’m sorry. Hope you feel better soon!

Katinka

Take care of yourself first & foremost.

Julia Schroeder

Sorry to hear it, but definitely take care of yourself as well. Ironically, similar happened to me but without the screaming pain. Out of nowhere my off-arm (left for me) just felt really weak and my shoulder was sore all the time. Still have absolutely no idea how it got injured in the first place.

Lester Townsend

take care and see a osteopath if you can find one ...

Deviantelfguy

Just get better, that is the most important thing.

Benjamin Allred

Take care of yourself! Hope your shoulder pain goes away quickly.

PKNoob

Get well, take your time. It worth it! Do you maybe lean on that arm while you're drawing? Leaning too hard, idk

Payton

Rest and take care!!!!

Yogzothot

I wish you a speedy recovery.

Daniel Peterson

Rest up, hope you feel better soon! Shoulder injuries are no joke, so treat yourself well! Thank you for all that you do!

Blze001

The worst part about getting older is our bodies just freakin break for no reason at all. Hope you get stitched back together again soon.

Neraced

Take your time, though of course I hope you the speediest recovery!

Faiza Susan

I’m so sorry to hear this. Take all the time you need and I hope you get well soon!

Linkros Leonhart

First of all, take all the rest your shoulder need, a bad recuperation can be worse than that scream

Sara M. Harvey

You REST!!!! We're fine! We don't need a constant churn of output, we're here for YOU. Do what you've got to do. I am not going anywhere!

Judy Lyle

Stjepan....Do NOT phucque around with a Rotator Cuff......Take the time you need... We'll be here!

James O'Donnelly

I've had injuries like that - they hurt like hell but you don't remember injuring it. All that matters is doing what the doctor tells you. Be well, relax, and don't worry - we'll be here.

David J Ward

Get better. It's more important you heal so you have a lengthy, extremely

David J Ward

lengthy, career in illustrating. Your work provides much comfort.

Delia Binder

Do it! Do it! Do it! I threw out my back sleeping on it wrong, so - yeah, sometimes there's just no rhyme or reason to suddenly getting injured....

Matteo Manino

That soud painfull and annoying, but I agree. You can do it!!!!!

Ada the Muscle Witch

Repetitive strain can be dangerous. Get yourself a physiotherapist!

Scarecroweapon

Rest up my dude, no crazy rope stuff for you till then ;P

Jim Hitchcock

Please be careful. I worked on disability cases most of my career. I really want you to rest enough and exercise the right way so you recover rather than deteriorate.

Kiri

Hope you recover swiftly!

Doctor Faust

This is awful, I hope your recovery goes swiftly. Also, I hope you have access to a GOOD physical therapist - advice and exercises from those wonderful people really help. Get well.

Oboexpress

Don't worry, these things happen sometimes and we understand. Rest up, get well soon and don't skimp on the physical therapy so you can get back to 100%.

Picblick

As long as you don't overwork yourself! I mean to save you from this is what patreon is for, isn't it? Get well soon!

Chaz333
