Hello everyone! I've been away a long long time, but I am going to try and make another attempt at Deviant Art.
I'll be updating the profile and galleries here in the next few weeks, and perhaps sharing some doodles as well.

I look forward to checking out some inspirational artists on here too!

But for now... I am trying to work through a massive heat wave effecting Melbourne. Its awful!!

Sorry I haven't been active on here folks, if you want to keep up to date with things I'm doing feel free to 'like' my facebook page. That is where I update the most, apart from that there is my website. Anything important will go there.

DA commissions are closed. If you do want a commission shoot me an email through my website but do not expect the rates that I had on Deviant Art previously.

<3

First up thank you everyone who voted in the poll, this sort of information has been really inspiring to me and I am working my ass off trying to get a book together for you all.

And now onto commissions!

There are  5 slots currently open.
I am testing the waters, send me a note with what you like and I'll pick and choose the ones that appeal to me most!



If its a success we'll open more slots.
Also let it be known, I am not just doing pinup girls, I will do ANY character. Lets make it fun and have some diversity!

(that being said if you really do want a pinup girl, feel free to note me for it anyway )

:::EDIT:::
There are now only 4 slots left!

So I have created a new sketchblog:

www.martinabel.blogspot.com
I'll probably be updating there more than here, although I have tried to upload the majority of the content on both.
New website is in the works, its coming.

I joined an Illustration agency; The Jacky Winter Group.

I am finally in my new house! We're lacking a bit of furniture but its functional and I have a nice big room to work in.
So, no excuses now it is time to get some plan of action.

I am gearing up for the Melbourne Supanova convention in April, there is a few things I have planned and a few ideas I'd like to cook up this year!

::EDIT::
Added a poll, please be so kind to give it a clicky - clicky.

Hey DA Gang,

Just jumping on really quick to thank everyone who has commented, faved, and watched me.
Ireally do appreciate it, the response from the DA community has been really uplifting, I just wish I had settled here sooner!

I have soo much awesome stuff going on right now, and I cant wait to show you all.

Lots and lots of new work, some you will see soon, some you might never see..
(The price for working with clients who throw you NDA's..)

My current job though is exciting me beyond words.. It could possibly be my best work to date..
Ok maybe not, but its new and shiny and its making me happy.

So, again thanks for all the support!
More updates to come soon......

EDIT:

I just want to point out that I do not mind people being inspired by my artwork, or even copying it to hone there skills, or what have you. Thats fine, I know I did it when I was a kid!
But if you are going to copy my work or use my work in ANY way I want a direct link back to either the image in question, my website or my DA profile.

Its common courtesy I feel. Thanks for understanding!


EDIT: (again)

My profiles being weird, I replied to a bunch of profile comments and now the originals have gone. So it looks like I am commenting on my own profile thanking myself for nothing? Great!
Ha! SO yeah I hope they pop back into this realm of existance.
