Born in 1986 and going by the real name Claudya Schmidt, AlectorFencer is a German full-time freelance artist and illustrator.

As a child she grabbed a pencil and started to put her dreams down on paper. As time went by, she developed astounding skills in perceiving the world around her in a artistic way, which as a matter of fact, contributed to her mastery of fine arts.

Studying Graphic Design, AlectorFencer passed her exams in 2006 amongst the best in her class. It was also around that time she discovered the Furry Fandom and took her place among it's most regarded artists.

Alector's pictures are inspired by nature, dreams, her lifestyle and by the many adventures she experienced.

Skilled in many ways, she creates her gorgeous images both traditional on paper/canvas and digital on the computer.

You could say that there's something magical about her work... maybe it's the way she manages to capture emotions and feelings, maybe it's the aesthetics or maybe some real magic?

Who knows, I guess it lies in the eyes of the beholder. But you can't deny that this artist's images do capture you and they won't let you go easily.

Currently she's living in Berlin, Germany and works on a comic project named "Myre". Which is a project between her as illustrator and author, her partner "Kebi" also as author and consultant and the Scottish musician "Fox Amoore" who creates the masterful soundtrack.

So stay tuned, meet this great artist and let your mind flow!
