Hellbeasts wreaking havoc all over the place

Journal Entry: Tue May 27, 2008, 7:25 AM

My buddy and mentor, Jim Pavelec has finally joined DA. Go check out his page

and look at his work, its amazing stuff. And while you're at it, check out his website [link] and maybe buy a book or two [link] .

So yeah, go to his page, leave him a comment or two and welcome him.

In other news, I start a new job at Bank of America today. I'll probably have more time to draw now, because I predict the ability to do it during slow times at work. Anyway, look forward to some new work, because I have several sketches nearing the painting stage, and at least one painting thats nearing completion. I'll also post some of my work from a recent comission up on here soon.

That's all for now.

-Marty

Not only I adore your artwork, but especially the way you write and make things clear. I just had a fine while sitting and reading your comments to other deviants whose art is just as good as octopus' shit but you could still keep the calm nature and constructive criticism on.
That is very admirable..!

I read your comments on the poll about critiquing, and followed you back to your homepage (that sounds stalkerriffic, but I can't figure out a better way to say it right now). Good art!~

For some reason, I didn't notice you had written on my wall until just now. I don't think it sent me an alert.

BTW, would love to see your take on our party. I still need to upload the remaining two characters (our cleric and mage), however.
