Hi there! I’m Fernando, a freelance 2D Artist and Character Designer from Mexico. I love bringing story-driven characters to life through expressive visual design, model sheets, and digital illustration. I also bring hands-on experience in e-learning visual assets and light animation to enhance storytelling.I am strongly against generative AI and guarantee that zero AI tools are ever used in my creative process.Outside of client work, I’m usually drawing fan art or cooking up original stories inspired by the pop culture I love. Thanks for checking out my work!

— Welcome to my Art Portfolio —
Everything you will see here was created between 2020 and 2026 using my favorite "power couple": Clip Studio Paint for all the drawing work and Adobe Photoshop for those final, polished touches. This workflow allows me to keep my linework fluid while ensuring every piece has a professional, high-end finish.The gallery includes a variety of projects, including custom character designs, full comic layouts, and detailed illustrations. It’s a comprehensive look at my technical skills and my ability to handle different formats while keeping my signature style at the forefront.
Thanks for checking out my work!
