About Me
Ahoy there! My name is Kristy Romero, and this is my portfolio.
I've loved creating art since I could first hold a crayon. I covered my room with art, taping up my drawings everywhere. I've since progressed from simple crayon renderings and have jumped into digital art in all of its forms.
Video games have been my passion for almost as long as drawing. Whether it was Carmen Sandiego or Myst, I spent many hours at my computer adventuring and casting spells left and right. Video game art didn't become my career choice however until I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction syndrome in 2003. From that point on I was homeschooled for my entire high school career, and I had a lot more time to play video games. It was during those years that I discovered my true calling. While extremely debilitating at first, I have made great progress in overcoming my illness and graduated from the Art Institute of California, Los Angeles in 2010.
I have always wanted to pursue a career in the arts (although my first career goal was a bit muddled, I wanted to be an astronaut/author/princess/illustrator/owner of ponies) and I am currently employed at Carbine Studios as a World Artist and loving every moment of it. Here on my site I've displayed a number of different types of artwork so feel free to browse at your leisure. I am always looking to improve, so if you have any feedback for me you can email me at karomero21@gmail.com.
I am a fan of all sorts of different types of games, from fantasy role-playing games to sci-fi shooters, and I still have a soft spot in my heart for adventure and action-adventure games, the very first type of games I played. I also love platformers and my favorite game of all time is Psychonauts. Besides video games, I also enjoy reading, writing, and baking delicious sweets to share!
