ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hey! You can call me Lumé. I'm a 21-year-old binary transman (he/him) from eastern Washington, USA, and immigrant of northern Portugal. While I have done a lot of change and self-growth in my life, there's a few things that have always been the same, and that's my love of art, animals, and furries.Since I first learned to hold a crayon, art has spoken to me. On my 6th birthday, my dad surprised me with my first ever drawing tablet, a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch. Little did I know, that tablet would forever change the trajectory of my life! I started my days on DeviantART, back when it was good, and have evolved to host my own community through Discord. One day, I will host even bigger spaces and events!I'm here to try and keep alive traditional artist communities, ones that actually mean something, and to create custom art for people that they can see themselves in. At the core of my pieces, there is a focus on 'emotion' or 'unity'. Animals aid me in my storytelling, as the contrasts between things like prey and predator can be very compelling when anthropomorphism is applied.I want to normalize the good and bad feelings, to represent the more niche and intimate experiences, and to connect people to themselves and others through art. We tend to be plagued by shame, but I believe that art can heal.

my origins

Despite the fact that I had been dressing up and acting as animals since I was 3 years old, it didn't really occur to me to make my own characters until after I had already been drawing characters from Invader Zim and My Little Pony. I began my descent into 'OC culture' on DeviantART, where I made self-insert Irkens and Mary Sue ponies. It was ultimately Splashkittyartist who inspired me to start making my own original OCs.

I handwrote an 84-page book about a 16-foot tall magical fox and her adventures with my own self-insert. I did some animations featuring those characters on my 3DS using Flipnote, but my inspiration from Splash's work made me crave more than black & white animations. I self-taught myself how to use Adobe Flash and created my first colored animation in October 2014, which I then posted to my preexisting Webkinz YouTube channel. I quickly decided to make a seperate channel under the name Toony Artist (now LUMENS8ITE), meant just for animations.

11 reference sheets of Sunny from 2014-2024 (left to right).

Sunny was made as my fursona and mascot, a representation of myself and who I strived to be. That much hasn't changed at all in the 10 years that I've had him. I dropped out of high school in the beginning of my sophomore year to pursue art as a fulltime career, and when it came to naming my business, I knew he had to be the focal point. I wanted something that would be all-encompassing, because I have a lot more to offer than just art, and so I landed upon Something from Sunny!

general

Full disclosure: While I work 5 days a week, I sometimes may need to take time off to compensate for my disabilities and unstable homelife. Any changes will be notified to current clients via email.Submit commission inquiries here ONLY.
Commission status is communicated by email and queue ONLY.
Questions, concerns and feedback can be emailed to somethingfromsunny@gmail.com.
Client reviews can be read here.

You must provide a fully finished reference sheet upfront. If you change the character's design mid-commission and would like those changes reflected, it may result in an extra fee.I only draw commissions Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, and will only respond to emails on weekdays from 10AM-5PM (GMT+1). Email responses are sent as-needed, and I may opt to use emoji reacts to confirm I have read your email. If you think I may have missed your email, feel free to bump it!You agree that I have permission to explore new techniques and styles with your commission.
If you'd like to request specific styles I have previously drawn in, please provide the art in question before I start the piece. Certain styles may come with an upcharge.
For commissions that come with WIPs: It's imperative to be honest if you want changes. I will charge 8€/per change that is outside of it's 'WIP window', meaning that if you want to change the pose after I send the sketch, or change something on the flat colors after I've already shaded, etc, you will be asked to cover the fees before I proceed.A client who becomes unresponsive after multiple attempts at contact will be considered 'finished' and will be removed from the queue. Should the client return, the commission can be revisited for an additional 30% of the original price. Discounts will not apply to the revisit.That being said, if a sketch doesn't at all meet your expectations, let me know and I will redo it! It can also be helpful to have a stickman drawing from the client if they have a specific vision in mind. I will always do my best to work with the client.I have a right to turn away a commission without any explained reason.

PAYMENT

I will only take payment through Stripe invoices. The email that the client sends the inquiry from will be the email used to deliver the invoice. No extra information will be needed from the client.If you would like to benefit from Klarna's Payment Installments (BNPL), please let me know in your initial inquiry. Otherwise, you will be invoiced for the full amount up front.The client must pay for the invoice within 24hrs of the invoice being sent to the client. Failure to comply may result in blacklisting.All invoices are sent in Euro currency, and it's up to the client's bank to do any necessary conversions.

Upon receiving the full payment, your slot in my queue will be secured. Check the date on your commission in the queue to see the 90 business day marker, which indicates when you qualify for a refund if the commission is not finished by then. See the refunds section of the directory for more information.I am happy to guarantee a client with a faster turnaround time for +30% of the original price. The client will be put at the front of the queue and will take priority. If there is another expedited client before you, you will be put behind them. I also offer queue priority perks and commission discounts on my Ko-Fi.I offer private commissions for +50% of the original price. Private commissions are sent only to the client and will not be uploaded to Ko-fi, Discord, or any other social medias.

refunds

While I have never had to submit a refund due to unfinished work, I have these rules in place for the worst-case scenario and for client protection.If after 90 business days from the date of full payment, your commission is still unstarted or partially unfinished, you may request a refund based on the criteria below. It may take up to 72 hours to fulfill the request, and 5-10 days for the amount to be deposited back into your bank.-Commissions under €30 are non-refundable.
-Unstarted commissions are qualified for a 100% refund (commissions over €80 receive 50% back).
-Commissions at the sketching stage qualifies for a 50% refund (commissions over €80 receive 25% back).
-Commissions at the lining stage qualify for a 25% refund. (commissions over €80 receive 15% back).
A commission at the coloring stage or further cannot receive a refund of any amount.

I do not give the full amount back for orders over €80 because these are luxury, one of a kind creations that take time, energy, and skill to produce. If the client does not want to wait, it's a risk that they agreed to when accepting the Terms of Service.As a reward for reading my terms, write the word sunbeam in your initial inquiry to receive 5% off your first commission. Only redeemable once, not combinable with other discounts and sales.

reviews from clients:

When asked about the overall experience, wolfwags wrote...

"Truly, with the commission itself, I am floored by the detail and life Lumé brought with this piece. It far exceeded any expectations both my partner and I had. It is the best thing we ever received!"

When asked about communication NishaWolfe wrote...

"...The communication was very clear, and progress shots happened at various stages of the commission progress! I was able to request a few small detail updates and fixes to things as he sent them over, and everything was handled wonderfully!! I'm extremely pleased with how often I was communicated for a sketch comm."

When asked if they would recommend SfS, Itztli wrote...

"PLEASE get a commission from SfS! BEST decision I ever made!!! From the art style and communication, providing a timeline and a wonderful listener, everything was phenomenal. I will absolutely be getting another commission!"
