Career
editŠejić was born in Vinkovci and resides in Crikvenica, Croatia. Before he started as a comic book artist, he wanted to become a lawyer.[1] Šejić started his career as a colorist, painting covers drawn by Tyler Kirkham. He was mainly inspired by Italian comics before he stumbled upon a copy of Top Cow's Witchblade, which inspired his own art. His work is also influenced by Marc Silvestri and Michael Turner.[citation needed]
In 2007, Šejić signed up to draw the art for Witchblade from issue #116 to #150, the longest run of the series drawn by a single artist once completed. He also illustrated the Witchblade miniseries First Born and Broken Trinity, and covers of the Top Cow series The Darkness. He also cooperates with smaller publishers such as Arcana Studio and Dynamite Entertainment.[2] In 2020, Šejić announced his departure from the mainstream comic book industry, choosing instead to focus on his creator-owned works.[3][4]
Šejić is married to fellow Croatian artist Linda Lukšić Šejić.[5]
