About The Artist

Hey! My name is Rhidley. I’m a 22-year-old trans man (he/him) from eastern Washington, USA. I've been an immigrant in Portugal since 2023. I'm most inspired by meaningful connections and art that represents diverse experiences and identities.I believe in freedom of expression through art, as it has been a powerful healing tool through my darkest moments. In a society where I have felt ostracized for being different, art is a safe place where I don't need to mold myself to fit into a box, I can just be me.

My Roots

I've always had a good mix of traditional and digital art in my life. I started out drawing in MS Paint with a mouse when I was five. My first tablet was a Wacom Bamboo Pen & Touch that I paired with Corel Painter at age six. When I was seven, I went from animating on sticky note stacks to animating with Flipnote on 2DS. Later on, around age 10, I was using Paint Tool Sai and Adobe Flash. During these early years, I joined a one-on-one watercolor class, a group sewing class, and a jewelry-making class. My grandpa John would let me hang out with him while he did welding and glass work, often helping me with projects and inspiring me to try new things. I owe so much of who I am as an artist and a person to him and his influence.I would say I have always been a furry, without even knowing what it was at the time. I'd only ever take interest in things if they involved animals, obsessively reading things like Warrior Cats and Guardians of Ga'hoole. I was particularly inspired by SplashKittyArtist (Now trisarahtops-sketches), and later on Vivziepop, creating my own OCs and telling stories with them through written form, animation, and sometimes comics.

Defining Creations

These following creations are, to me, pivotal pieces that put me onto my current path. Without these pieces, I wouldn't be the artist I am today.

"Laetina" was an 84-page fantasy book about a 16-foot tall magical fox and her adventures with my own self-insert. I was incredibly dedicated to that book, so much so that my teacher actually let me do weekly readings to my classmates which made me realize how much I loved story telling.

I got absorbed into designing a 'cast' for my channel which I decided to call 'Toony Art'. I started to create a story with this cast of critters called Dreamscape, a story about a group of humans who go to an alternate furry world when they fall asleep and must save Dreamland from being taken over by Nightmare. This story got tossed around a bit as an animated series, then as a game, but unfortunately never came to fruition. As I got older, I moved onto more "autobiographical" animatics that were represented by my fursona and mascot, Sunny, who was first named Cloudedspot for a short period.

The "autobiographical" animatics, or vent animatics, are near and dear to me as they what got me through a really dark point in my life. I was not only finding my audience for the first time, but I was finding out more about myself and what I wanted to make. I managed to find joy even in sharing my own pain, as others told me it made them feel less alone. This experience shaped my interest in mental health and deeper connections.

Sunny has been with me since I was 11 years old, shortly before I realized that I was trans. He's been an incredibly crucial part of my life and my own growth, standing in as the weird, colorful, queer representation that I never had growing up. I realized through him how important it can be to see yourself in a character, to feel recognized and understood by someone. Sunny's existence validated my own, brought likeminded people to me, and inspired my current career in representing other misfit furries like myself. Sunny is the heart and soul of everything I do and am; he represents unity, growth, and love. That is why he is the face of my business! <3

Present Day

Nowadays, I'm primarily a commission artist as well as a host to my queer & kinky artist's server. I enjoy seeing people come together on art events and feel honored to oversee a safe space for people who might otherwise not have one. I've dabbled a bit in volunteering as a host for local events, but my hope is to host my own events locally here in Porto, and even host panels at cons or volunteer to them.On the side, I'm working on a graphic novel that explores a wolfdog named Misty and her struggles with mental health. I'm incredibly busy with work which has meant that it's incredibly slow going, and I want to give such a sensitive topic due diligence, but I look forward to one day having the physical copy in my hands, ready to share with the world.I'm working hard to find stability in my new life in Portugal. It's been an incredibly challenging experience, but I've always been one for challenges. I'm gonna continue to give my work and my community all I've got! :)

general

Full disclosure: I generally work a strict 4-5 days a week. I will not respond outside of work hours or on weekends and I will only take extra days off when I need to accommodate my disabilities.

MOST IMPORTANT RULES:- Only commission inquiries submitted to this form will be considered.- Commissions & their status are discussed ONLY by email and queue.- Questions, concerns and feedback can be emailed to somethingfromsunny@gmail.com.

A completed reference sheet is required upfront (except for character design commissions). Mid-commission design changes may incur extra fees. Major character swaps are not allowed after sketching begins.I work on commissions Mon, Tue, Thu, and Fri, and respond to emails weekdays 10AM–5PM (GMT+1). Responses are sent as-needed; emoji reacts may confirm receipt. If I miss your email, feel free to bump it.I reserve the right to explore new techniques/styles to better match your concept. If you'd like a specific style I’ve used before, please send the artwork beforehand—some styles may cost extra.For WIP commissions: Be upfront about changes. A 10€ fee applies to revisions outside their appropriate stage (e.g., concept changes after sketch approval). These must be paid before I continue.If the sketch doesn't meet your expectations, let me know clearly—redraws are welcome with proper feedback. Stickman mockups can help if you have a strong visual in mind.Ko-fi commissions are separate from regular commissions. They don't follow the 90-day rule, aren’t eligible for refunds or repeat client discounts (except subscriptions), and are worked on between main queue pieces. Communication happens through email and Ko-fi DMs.Clients unresponsive for over a month (despite follow-ups) will be marked as “finished” and removed from the queue. Returning clients may resume the piece for 30% of the original price (no discounts).I reserve the right to decline commissions without explanation.

PAYMENT

All payments are made via Stripe invoices, sent to the email used in your inquiry—no extra info needed.The only exception is for Ko-fi commissions, which are handled directly through Ko-fi.If you'd like to use Klarna (Buy Now, Pay Later), mention it in your initial message. Otherwise, the full amount is due upfront.Invoices must be paid within 24 hours of being sent. Please respect my time, and I’ll respect yours. :)All invoices are in Euros (€). Currency conversion is handled by your bank.

Once full payment is received, your spot in my queue is secured. Check your commission’s date to track the 90-business-day refund eligibility. See the refund section for details.Need it sooner? I offer expedited slots for +40%—you’ll be moved to the front of the queue (behind any existing expedited clients). I also offer queue priority perks and commission discounts to Ko-Fi subscribers.Want it to stay private? A +50% fee makes your commission fully private—it won't be shared on Ko-fi, Discord, or social media.

refunds

If your commission remains unstarted or incomplete 90 business days after full payment, you're eligible for a refund based on the following:

- Ko-fi commissions are non-refundable.
- Commissions under €30 are non-refundable.
- Unstarted: 100% refund (50% if over €80).
- Sketch stage: 50% refund (25% if over €80).
- Line art: 25% refund (15% if over €80).
- Coloring or beyond: No refund available.Refunds are processed within 72 hours, with funds returning to your account in 5–10 days.

I don’t offer full refunds for orders over €80 due to the time, skill, and effort involved—these are one-of-a-kind, luxury pieces. By commissioning me, you accept this risk.As a thank-you for reading my terms, include the word sunbeam in your initial inquiry for 5% off your first commission. One-time use only; not stackable with other discounts or sales.

"...The communication was very clear, and progress shots happened at various stages of the commission progress!
