Painting practice - random stock chosen on dA to play with colours tonight. As you can tell, I didn’t get as far as matching the hands/arm skin tones with the face. Just a bit of random fun!

jeminabox:

YA Pinup Sketches WIP - just mucking about with an idea. Have roughed out 14 women so far. Not sure I want this style or something more stylized. Still experimenting but today was more about mucking around with proportions & practice. I can tell you I’ll be doing women from TMI, TID, Morganville Vampires, VA, Bloodlines & Divergent so far. Can you guess the ones lined already?

Wil says... art by Jemina Venter

Stolen Wil Says.. artwork on Au-My website.

jeminabox:

Don’t be a dick AU-MY! Stealing other peoples artwork.. you’re kinda missing the point of the slogan you’re quoting.

I worked hard to create this art for my personal use & sharing with other fans for fun (posted originally in April 2012). I did not work hard to create this art so a company I’ve never heard of can save a copy, badly & very obviously modify it, and post it on their website to promote their products without my permission or agreement.

Artists do not create work for people to steal for their own uses. If you want to use someones artwork - it’s pretty simple. Contact them. Ask them. Not too hard right? This makes me both sad & angry.

I’ve contacted AU-MY to request that my artwork be removed from their product page. Now, we wait..

Wed, 24 Apr 2013 20:08:21 +1000

jeminabox:

Will x Tessa Clockwork Princess painting is complete! Three versions because I can’t decide which one I prefer.

1/ Olde photograph style - background is not mine. Original photo from here. Couldn’t resist doing a version in sepia/antique colours.

2/ Just plain Will & Tessa as painted. <3

3/ Not sure why, but I have this thing with painting blue & gold bubbles around these two. This isn’t the first time I’ve done it, & it probably won’t be the last!

I have sketched a Jem x Tessa one to do, but I must admit to being in a Morganville Vampires mood with Fall of Night just out, so that one may need to wait!
