Hello there! I am Marcel, and I am a microbiologist from Cologne, Germany. I started painting at the age of 17, with the clear goal to be able to work for Magic: The Gathering one day. I am far from reaching that goal, but Alter Sleeves is a great opportunity to get into the field of fantasy illustration and build a connection to the Magic community. I used to do alters with acrylic paints, but most of my current work is done digitally. I feel a strong emotional connection to landscapes, since they can be dramatic and yet quiet at the same time. I also enjoy plants and animals (as well as all forms of life). I suffer from unresolved health issues, a condition called "chronic fatigue syndrome ". I often struggle with life, but here I am, still trying to pursue my dreams. One day, I want to be able to express myself with my work and help other people through their own struggles.
