infp-t | she/them | lvl.22 | 🇲🇽 commissions open!
uhh… heya!
my name is fernanda (but i like being called fern) and i was born the 22nd of october in 2002. when i gain some free time or somehow find the motivation to do so i make digital illustrations and comics. my hyper-fixations go brr, so you'll usually see me create lots of fanart about my current interest, and then the next morning it'll probably be something else, or sometimes i'll simply disappear from any social media for weeks on end, it happens from time to time. if you enjoy what i do, consider supporting me on ko-fi! here's my complete portfolio aka where i post the illustrations i deem good enough to save. my side blog is @gayramune in case you want to see my more occasional reblogs of fun stuff i come across. have a common question¿ maybe my faq has the answer you're looking for! ✕ 🌿 ✕

[ID: A digital drawing of Jimmy from Mouthwashing wearing a Pony Express themed maid outfit with stockings, garters, and gloves, as well as a pair of horse ears, a long horse tail, and brown hoof shoes. He is posing as if floating with one knee up, and his fists raised like hooves. He's smiling at the viewer, sticking his tongue out and blushing. He is glowing green with matching sparkles around him on a purple background. end ID]

(happy april fools gamers LMAO)

i’m dropping out of college

yup, you heard me

this was my third and last try at it

my neurodivergent ass could not handle the typical school system regimen, so at last i realized it is not for me

i still want to pursue animation and at minimum illustration, but the demanding nature of college just wasn’t it besides, a piece of paper with a signature isn’t everything there is to life

so what’s next¿

i’m not sure, but that’s how i’ve been all my life so… currently looking for a job is a priority, and i'm not interested in a career, i’m just looking for the least annoying way to afford food and shelter on my own to be honest hahah

my commissions are open again in the meantime!

changed my do’s and don’ts by the way… cough cough 18+ cough…

i also made a side blog for that kind of art, but i don’t feel like plugging it in here for the sake of those who don't want to see that stuff, but there is a link to it here in my blog, if you know where to look that is

There's nothing more important than writing what you want to read. Don't worry about who will like your book. Don't worry about what market it can neatly fit into. Don't cut corners or blunt edges to satisfy an imaginary person who might dislike aspects of your art. It's yours. Treat it as a pure expression of your soul. Compromise is for cowards.

Oooooooh you wanna draw mouthwashing so bad ooooooo

I HAVE. I'VE ACTUALLY DONE IT. FINALLY.

I PICKED UP MY PEN YESTERDAY OUT OF PASSION AND NOT OBLIGATION

IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, OUUUUGH………… hear me out

so a while back i saw this post and man…… if you read the tags i put in my reblog you can see where this is going, oh my lord

yesterday the idea crossed my mind again, and i had the opportunity to shout it at the void that is a discord server, but the void suddenly shouted back at me and oh boy did things move fast after that…

so anyways i couldn’t contain myself anymore and decided to draw that jimmy lookalike i was talking about

y’all know that thing that happens when you see an amazing artist and proceed to absorb their knowledge through osmosis when looking at their drawings¿

yeah well that happened to me when looking at @/linkcharacter asdfghjklñ

here’s the silly………. sobs

and jimmy for comparison

what changed mostly was the eyes and nose really, also he’s my silly i can give him a septum and tooth gap if i want smh

oh and his name is calvin btw, i was having trouble naming this guy but i had this lightbulb moment when being reminded that jimmy was named after a song, so i went through my mouthwashing playlist and picked one that mentioned a name that i liked

ding ding the winner was…

i could yap a lot more about why i really like this name and the implications it has in this pseudo au, but ehh

next step was curly ofc and oh my god i cannot stop drawing that stupid blonde man it’s like a disease, and every time i drew him he looked different BUT I FIGURED IT OUT

you can see i tried multiple times (i am not showing all my attempts outside of this page because they’re terrible lmfao)

i like giving my drawings little notes on how i rate them, it’s a thing i’ve done since forever heh

all this to say…

i like tormenting curly even further than he already is :)

Hey! I love your comics and the way you draw each character in MW!

I was wondering, how uncanny valley would Jimmy look if he had glasses to stop squinting his eyes? That one comic got me thinking and I've been giggling ever since at the idea

Nearsighted version, for farsighted Jimmy, refer to foxguardian's post :)
