Koda Alexander
Hello! My name is Koda Alexander Torrence and I'm a freelance graphic designer. In my free time outside of school and designing, I enjoy playing video games, exploring game development and watching any of Gordon Ramsey's shows on Hulu.As a small town illustrator and author; I work with multiple forms of media because I'm able to breathe life into the sea of ideas I have locked away in my mind. I get to share the worlds that my mind creates with others around me. I mainly focus on creature designs (such as dragons and griffins) and the fantasy/mystical realm— something extremely important to me as I was raised reading fantasy novels and drawing/creating art based around these inspirations.
Said inspirations range from multiple game developers; such as the teams at Monomi Park [Slime Rancher], Game Freak [Pokemon], Thatgamecompany [Journey, Sky: Children of the Light], Team Ico [The Last Guardian, Shadow of the Colossus] Solmare [Obey Me!] and Team Cherry [Hollow Night] as the games I've played has motivated me to pursue a career in the design and writing field and develop my own games moving forward.I have worked with most of Adobe's Creative Cloud products, Paint Tool Sai, Gimp, Blender and Medibang Studio.

Miscellaneous
Tanka: Sights
The animal crawled
With his stomach to the ground
First moving, then still,
As his gaze shifted upward
The sight striking fear in him
Haiku - Golden Breezes
The breeze drifts around
Carrying a golden leaf;
Gentle as a doe.
Breathe.
Horrid days shift into
terrible weeks.
Dreadful years that need to
D i s a p p e a r.Thundering screams precede
shattering glass.
Deafening thoughts swallowed by
S i l e n c e.Unoccupied bed sheets acknowledge a
desolate, frigid house
trailed by the glacial feeling.
A l o n e.Searing pain cuts through
fragile skin.
Crimson trails lead to agonizing
R e g r e t s.Charcoal streams fall from
hollow sockets.
Damp silk fabric now stained,
S o r r o w.Warm light shines through the
kaleidoscope drops,
casting color over the gray.
B r e a t h e.
Hope.
The piercing diagnosis;
A surefire death sentence
razing one's world.
frail.Trapped in the dark lair,
IV drips continue to administer
chemotherapy laced liquids.
Fighting.Eyes glued to the battalion leader,
A discussion draws attention-
a laser that can target the looming dragon!
Triumph!The weapon in development
for yet a few years still;
the method needs to be perfected.
Patience.The laser aims for draconic cells,
destroying any it can sense
while leaving the other cells safe.
ATTACK!Two draining years left.
Light finally in sight;
The dragon's defeat.
Freedom.
Monsters
(WARNING: GRAPHIC GORE)
Red glowing eyes glare from the stark black
As wolfish creatures surround front and back.
Ebony fur shifting as bloody teeth glisten,
Gravely growls giving something to judge their distance.
Suddenly they pounce with ravenous hunger and speed,
Each claw scratch and rip of flesh proving their greed.
There’s no escape, no sign of hope, no liberty
As everything goes black, there’s no victory, stuck in captivity.
