Kristian Torres
( Kreatorres)
Hello Everyone! My name is Kristian Torres. Born in the mid 90’s, I’m originally from the Trenches of Newark NJ now living in Portland Oregon.
How did you come up with your name?
I came up with the name “Kreatorres” back around 2017 when trying to come up with a display name for my Instagram. My name starts with a Kr, similar to Cr in “Create” which is what I love to do. I soon noticed that the word “Creator” has the same last 3 letters as the FIRST 3 letters of my last name! (“Tor” for Torres) So it was a no-brainer when deciding a life long name for myself. Kristian Torres, KreaTor.res Kreator for short. KRTR.RES for even shorter. BAM! Get it? 😋
From Past to Present
My art style influence comes from where my life began, the happenings that took course throughout my childhood, and ultimately my outlook on life because of these events. Don’t get me wrong; I had a pretty great childhood FULL of love (although stern) from my Parents Alex Torres and Yolanda Colon and my Older Brother Alexander Torres, but there were times of disbelief, tragedy and sadness. From being raised in a HAUNTED (now abandoned) apartment building (on the corner of Stratford Pl, 5F), to a very unexpected divorce around 2010, to 8 years later my Mother tragically Passing after a sudden Heart-Attack, it seemed like Heart Ache was always lingering.
Despite all of this, the nearest tragedy being in 2018, my outlook on life has always been Optimistic and Playful. I’m stronger than any barricade that may stand in my way NO MATTER WHAT! The amount of energy that is used focusing and lingering on the negative can also be used to say “NO EXCUSES” and to get up and do what you really want to in life.
My Style, Influences and Desires
My life experiences definitely have an influence on my art style. I really enjoy creating fun, cartoon style characters with a hand drawn, chaotic twist.
Art inspiration for me would have to be John Kricfalusi (Artist for Ren & Stimpy), Art Speigleman (Creator of Garbage Pail Kids) and Ed Roth. (Creator of Rat Fink)
My main Areas of focus when it comes to art are Traditional Drawings, Concept Sketching, Pixel-Art, 3D Sculpting, and lastly, Music Production!
Pertaining to working for a studio/business/etc., I hope to one day be able to work as a…
- Concept artist
- Character Designer
- Character Design Artist
- Storyboard Artist
- Part of a Music Production Team
I hope you found interest in my work and we can one day work together, furthering our visions as best as possible.
What I aim to express for the whole world to see is DON’T let your past dictate your future! Anything is possible with proper preparation, dedication, and hard work. Focus on what you really love and shoot for the stars!
