I unpublished my comic for the time being to reformat and repost it from the beginning once it's finished. Here's my fave GIF panels on the meanwhile ♥
hi @meccentric, that's actually my Argentina OC but the confusion is understandable! Not the first time she's been mistaken for fem Italy haha
Part one of the outfit sheets I'm doing for my comic! I just absolutely love studying and drawing clothing from past eras ♥ more to come!
Part two!
part three and one of my favourites <3 stay tuned for the last two parts!
Part Four: The War.
I believe nation people can take on multiple roles within the same conflict. While they often have tendencies or preferences for one sector over another, they ultimately decide where to position themselves based on what suits them best.
For much of the War for Malvinas, Arthur commanded the Royal Navy fleet (#7), while Agustina served as a fighter pilot (#7) (she faced countless objections for being a woman, but was ultimately “allowed” to serve in the Air Force because you can’t deny the Motherland her right to fight). Despite her decades of experience as a pilot, this was her first foreign enemy.
In the final stages of the conflict, following the British troops’ landing on Malvinas, Arthur joined the Parachute Regiment (#8) to engage in ground combat. Meanwhile, Tina suffered a serious accident with her plane, and she went MIA for a few days in mid-June. However, her tenacity drove her to recover and she joined the Army troops (#8) defending the last Argentine positions on the islands. It was also a struggle for her to be allowed there, but by then it was too late to forbid her presence. Although she had promised only to assist in treating the wounded during combat, adrenaline got the better of her, and she ended up fighting alongside them. She was present at the Battle of Mount Longdon and, days later, made her final stand at Wireless Ridge, where she once again came to face Arthur, who was with the 2 PARA Regiment.
Final Part — Modern and not so modern Tinas.
The 1980s were a time of sharp contrasts for Argentina. With democracy returning at the end of 1983, Agustina felt the liberation that came with the "democratic spring." After nearly a decade of repression—where she had to constantly watch what she did, said, and even how she looked—the '80s saw Tina dive into a life of excess, using it to bury her unresolved traumas. While she had always enjoyed drinking, by the mid-80s, she was drinking heavily and even experimenting with drugs, though that never turned into a full-blown addiction.
By the late '80s, she started to tone things down, but there’s no denying it was a dark period in her life—a lingering, painful hangover from the turmoil the 1970s left in her.
Nowadays, Agustina is still lost. She stumbled into the 21st century with the 2001 crisis, slowly rebuilding her (modest) self-confidence over the years. But the 2020s knocked her completely off balance, from the pandemic onwards, and she’s been drifting ever since, unsure of her place in the world, just taking things day by day.
As Juan Gabriel Tokatlian put it: "An Argentina materially frail, militarily vulnerable, and with no diplomatic compass."
Tina can’t seem to figure herself out or find her footing. She’s resigned to handling things as they come (she just wings everything) and finding comfort in the things that make her happy.

Hace un montón te quería preguntar esto y siempre me olvido😅 vi en twt el dibujo de la Tina Jinx, y como tinalover y fan de arcane necesito saber, dijiste que Jinx te hacía pensar en Agus adolescente ¿en que se parecen? (amé el dibujo btw Tina con trenzas for the win)
olvidé compartir el dibujo aquí así que aprovecho la oportunidad ajssj
gracias por el comentario tkm 😭 debo aclarar que no vi Arcane como corresponde, sino solo las escenas donde salían los personajes que me importaban (o sea... Jinx LOL)
Jinx me hace pensar en ella más que nada por su diseño a simple vista (carita de bb, edgy, trenzuda)
Pero además... me encanta ese dualismo en ella de una mujer caótica, altamente emotiva y violenta pero con una niña vulnerable en su interior que a veces se deja entrever 😩 ughh la amo
I absolutely love your art, I’ve been following you for a while now and I unfortunately struggle with my own style. Everytime I need inspiration I just type your username up hehe. I wanted to ask where do you get your historical information on? Cheers!
Oh my, thank you so much! I've always been that person, always looking at my favourite artists to get inspired, I'm so glad to know I can inspire someone else the same way 🥺♥
I get my history information from basically anywhere! lol when I'm new to a topic (ie. English history) I start by going into broad summarized videos on youtube to get a grasp of the general info. Then I go to wikipedia, which helps me find books and articles in the bibliography section.
When I want to get a bit more specific or search about a particular topic I also look up keywords on LibGen or Google Scholar and see what pdfs I can download there. Then I proceed to download 20 pdfs that look interesting, and then I never read them. LOL
I get anxious being so inactive on my artblogs, but I'm still working on my thing! :) trying to find balance between work life and personal art, I'll avoid overloading myself with school + commissions like I did last year. I'll be gentler with myself and prioritize my projects.
Also, reminder I have a patreon where I update with my WIPs and also offer monthly sketch requests!

I opened a Patreon as a means to support my personal art and projects!
All of my work will always be public, but consider checking it out if you'd like to see weekly updates on my comic progress, WIPS and access to benefits like exclusive commission openings for patreons and a special limited tier with monthly sketch requests!
Holii ¿como estas? feliz año nuevo! (un poco tarde)
Tengo una duda medio tonta ¿El Arturos entenderá todo lo que dice Tina cuando usa jerga local? corte lunfardo (si es que lo usa delante de él). Me imagino que el debe estar más acostumbrado al español de España ¿Se ofenderá si Tina le dice boludo? no necesariamente como insulto
feliz año nuevo anon!
Arturo debe saber algunas palabras como pibe, boludo... che... y no se me ocurre qué otra JAJAJAJ el resto no lo entiende 🤣 y sí, él entiende más vocabulario de España porque vacaciona mucho allí aunque no es que le ponga muchas ganas a hablar español de todos modos jsjssj
No imagino una situación en la que Tina le diga "boludo" de manera amistosa 🤔👀 eso es algo que hace más bien con sus amigos. Ese señor no es su amigo (?) pero sí lo debe haber insultado alguna que otra vez con esa palabra, aunque a ella le gusta insultarlo con cositas más sutiles y tranqui como "forro hijo de mil puta", "viejo choto pajero", "pirata petero" y otros epítetos dignos de salir de los labios de una princesa 🤌✨
