In his early teens, Trent became fascinated with the comic medium and focused his talents on creating and illustrating worlds born of his mind. Around 1994 at the age of 16, he officially entered the world of comic art with work on the first issues of ''Hall of Heroes Presents''<ref>[http://www.comics.org/series/19131/ Comics.org listing].</ref> (or ''Deadbolt''). In 1994, he began work on a comic series called [http://creedcomic.com/ ''CreeD''] which he wrote and illustrated ([http://creedcomic.com/ readable online in its entirety]).<ref>[http://creedcomic.com/ CreeD Omnichornos: The Complete Collection].</ref> The comic was his first major published series and was well received by readers, selling approximately 30,000 copies per issue.<ref>[http://www.twilightmonk.com/2010/11/19/why-i-have-failed-at-comics-for-8-years/ Why I Have Failed at Comics for 8 Years].

Around 2002, Trent entered the gaming industry with work on ''Masters of the Universe'' and ''Terminator 3'' for the Game Boy Advance. Some time between 2002 and 2005, Trent joined Capcom and worked on ''Final Fight: Streetwise'' as a '''Concept Artist''', '''Voice Actor''', and '''Story Writer'''. After finishing work on that title for Capcom, he joined [[Blizzard Entertainment|Blizzard]] as a '''Concept/Environment Artist''' where he worked on ''World of Warcraft''. He is currently working on [[Diablo III]] and a number of the released pieces of concept art for Caldeum have been attributed to him.
His love for the art and storytelling of comics has not diminished in the slightest since he first began with it as a teenager. In his free time, he continues to craft comics and attends comic conventions. His current project is an original series he is writing and illustrating titled [[Trent_Kaniuga#Twilight Monk|''Twilight Monk'']].
