Community Questions - JemmaJamArt

Tell us a little bit about yourself!

Hello! I'm Jemma, a hobbyist digital and traditional artist. I love expressing my emotions and sharing them with fellow fans through my artwork. Ever since I was young, I've enjoyed drawing my favourite video game characters, especially because of their beautiful and intricate costume designs. As I grew older, I realised that Assassin's Creed was the perfect series to showcase my artistic abilities, thanks to its rich historical settings and grounded realism.

I like to take my time with every illustration, despite life's challenges. Focusing on fine details and genuine emotion is one of the most important parts of my creative process, allowing me to create artwork that Assassin's Creed fans can truly connect with and enjoy.

Do you have a favourite piece of content from TOWCB?

At the moment, my favourite part of TOWCB is how much it values the Assassin's Creed community itself. I really enjoyed seeing the spotlight given to community artists, creators, and fans, because it reflects the idea that everyone can contribute to the series in their own way.

What are your hopes and expectations for the future of Assassin's Creed?

I hope Assassin's Creed continues to deliver unforgettable stories and memorable characters while exploring new historical eras. I would also love to see remakes of the 2007 original, the Ezio Trilogy, and Assassin's Creed III in the future. More than anything, I dream of seeing an instalment set in Spain. Its fascinating history deserves to be explored in depth.

Any Assassin's Creed games you have been playing recently, and which one(s) are you playing next?

Right now, I'm focused on Black Flag Resynced, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the series goes next. I still play Assassin's Creed Rebellion every day. I'm also considering revisiting Brotherhood, as I recently picked up the novel. It will be exciting to rediscover the story and uncover the details that the game couldn't fully tell.

Which Assassin's Creed game is your favourite and why?

My answer might be a little unusual because I have two favourite games instead of one, and they're closely connected; Assassin's Creed Rebellion and Assassin's Creed Brotherhood. Rebellion is my first choice because its main story is centred around Spain, featuring the Spanish and Italian Brotherhoods working together. Every character in the game has their own unique story, and despite its smaller scale, it's the only game that brings together so many protagonists from across the series in one place. As for Brotherhood, it's the game that, to me, truly showcases what it means to be a leader. It follows Ezio after all the hardships he endured, revealing the wise and inspiring Mentor he became - one whose legacy is remembered not only within the game's world, but also by fans in real life. I have to admit that this is my favourite version of Ezio. That said, I can't overlook Assassin's Creed II. Italy has been a country I've loved since childhood, and even today I still can't get over how beautifully the Renaissance era was brought to life in that game.

Have you visited any locations from across the games in real life?

Yes, specifically Istanbul. I visited the Hagia Sophia mosque and stayed near the Galata Tower. Sadly, I was too young then to fully appreciate the beauty and historical significance of those remarkable places. These days, my biggest dream is to visit Italy, where so many of my dreams reside, and one day live in Turkey again.

Have you attended any events related to the Assassin's Creed community?

Not personally. Most of my participation in the community has been through sharing my artwork online and connecting with fellow Assassin's Creed fans.

Do you have a favourite Assassin's Creed Community moment / story you would like to share?

Yes, I have many great memories, but the one that stands out the most is when Malek Teffaha complimented one of my artworks. I was absolutely thrilled once I realised who he was.

What would be your dream setting and location for a future AC instalment?

Spain, because I believe the events introduced in the Assassin's Creed movie were only briefly touched upon and deserve to be expanded into a full game.

What would you say is your most significant AC community achievement to date?

I've had the opportunity to achieve several memorable milestones thanks to Assassin's Creed. I created a series of fun stickers for the Assassin's Creed Rebellion Discord community, some of which were inspired by popular memes. I also collaborated on that project with the Malaysian artist vek_torian.

Later, I worked with the community moderators to create a special artwork as a gift for a former Ubisoft Halifax employee. I'm also honored that Ubisoft Middle East follows my artwork on Instagram. Additionally, both Lee Majdoub, the voice actor for Basim, and Magnus Bruun, the actor behind the voice of Eïvor, liked the posts in which I featured their characters. Finally, one of my proudest achievements was winning the art contest for the Reverse: 1999 × Assassin's Creed collaboration event. I received a set of limited-edition prizes, and I see them as a meaningful recognition of my work and artistic journey.

What are your favourite things about the AC community and your part in it?

I love how creative this community is. From artwork and cosplay to photography, music, and story discussions, it's always inspiring to see the different ways people celebrate their passion for Assassin's Creed.

My role is simply to contribute through my art, and I hope the pieces I create can bring a little enjoyment to fellow fans of the series.

Do you collect AC merchandise? If so, what is your favourite item?

Yes, I have two favourite collectibles. The first is a Chibi Ezio figure, which I received as a birthday gift and still treasure. The second is a very special handmade plush doll, created by the talented German artist alrakia_serpent. She crafted it with great care from fabric and leather, and it depicts one of my favourite Assassin's Creed Rebellion characters, Girolamo da Luca. It's one of the most meaningful pieces in my collection.

Where can our followers find you online?
