Vandelmarchen

From Pokemon to Dragonball Z, to Naruto we all have many of us are familiar with or have had some exposure to Anime and Manga in Pop Culture. y earliest exposure was to the Manga publication Shonen Jump. Growing up I often drew the characters I saw and made my own fan-fiction comics based on the original stories. The characters were so cool! I aspire to someday be just as talented as the artists who created them. I would draw day in and day out getting lost in the worlds I would create. I knew that someday, I wanted to create original characters of my own with just as amazing literary depth and amazing action-packed scenes and spreads. ​The name "Vandel" and "Marchen", my artistic handle, are derived from two anime series that I really enjoyed. I loved the name Vandel from "Beet the Vandel Buster" and Marchen from "Marchen Awakens Romance."Starting from the mundane task of creating an email handle for myself, the name evolved into a sort of artistic alias for me and ultimately my self-branding, leaving my mark and changing the word to represent me. ​In the present and future, I plan to expand as an artist, utilizing different mediums of expression to bring my worlds to life. My goal is to draw and create the characters that I like to see represented in the media I consume. I want people to feel the same connection with and excitement towards my characters as I did with the ones I grew up with and inspired me. 

Welcome to the Vandel Verse! A collection of all my diverse and interconnected worlds full of narratives and characters not to be forgotten!
