Jemina Venter

My name is Jemina Venter.

I work full time & am usually found indulging in creating art, reading or playing Halo almost every moment I have free.

I spend the majority of my time living vicariously through a variety of fandoms by reading, watching TV/movies & painting.

Most of my art is fan-art from a variety of young adult, science fiction & fantasy genres. I am a huge fan of romance & UST in characters storylines, and my art will usually reflect my current favourite fandom or ‘ship couple at the time.

I’ve discovered in 2011 how brilliantly inspiring it is to paint characters from my favourite novels and now I’m hard pressed to divvy up my creative time between wanting to read about these amazing characters and wanting to paint them!

My amazingly amaaaazing husband gave me a Wacom Cintiq tablet, named Alice, for my 31st birthday which has only increased my passion to want to spend as much time creating art as I can!

For a little bit of random; I also compulsively sing aloud (& desperately off-key) whenever listening to music in the car, love to drink dessert wine, equally crave & adore feedback to the point where I may refresh constantly after posting a painting, am an enthusiastic beginner hula hooper (I own TWO hula hoops named Magnus Bane and Poison Ivy currently!) & am very happy to display more than a little bit of the ridiculous about my person & character, often at my own expense!

Cheers,
Jem {{:o)
