She could totally become a famous artist one day if the right person noticed. I can't ignore the others here on PXR though. We have so many talented artists here!
I'm not even sure if it can really be called a gift. It's really all about passion, dedication, and commitment to building skill. I'm sure Gemma's been doing art for many, many years, and all that practice, time, dedication, and desire for improvement is what allowed her to become as good as she is today.

Trust me, what I can do with graphics today would have shocked me in my earlier years, but I certainly wasn't born with a gift like that. My first banners were crapola, my first stories were garbage, and my first drawn art pictures looked like a splattered fly. So much of it is about time, practice, critique, desire to improve, learning from others and their examples, and not being lazy by trying to poke around for shortcuts or to cut corners.

I do agree with you, though. PXR has loads of very awesome artists with many unique styles, and Gemma is definitely one of them.
