my origins

Despite the fact that I had been dressing up and pretending to be an animal since I was three 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.

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!

You must provide a fully finished reference sheet upfront (character design commissions excluded). If you change the character's design mid-commission and would like those changes reflected, it may result in an extra fee. I will not completely change a character to a different one if the commission has already begun the sketching phase.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 to better fit the ideas provided.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 10€/per change that is outside of it's 'WIP window', meaning that if you change your mind on the posing/overall concept after I send the sketch, or change something on the line art after I've already done flat colors, etc, you will be asked to cover the fees before I proceed.That being said, if the sketch does not meet your expectations for what you've requested, let me know specifically what isn't up to par and I will redo it with the notes in mind. 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.Ko-fi commissions are separate from my regular commissions. They do not follow the 90-day rule nor qualify for refunds, and are not eligible for repeat client discounts (outside of subscriptions). Instead, they will be completed around the pieces currently in my main queue. They are typically worked on when I'm waiting on feedback from main queue clients and have extra time. Ko-fi commissions are an exception to my no-DM rule, as I will communicate with you directly through Ko-fi's chat system.A client who becomes unresponsive after one month, with multiple attempts at contact, will be considered 'finished' and will be removed from the queue. Should the client return after a month, the commission can be revisited for an additional 30% of the original price. Discounts will not apply to the revisit.I have a right to turn away a commission without any explained reason.

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 +40% 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 to Ko-Fi subscribers.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.

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.
