About Us

It started as a personal project, a gesture of pure indulgence for ourselves.

My husband Jose and I (Silvia) have been roleplaying way the most of our lives. We have lived dozens of lives in the huge fantasy worlds of our brains, along with great friends. Some of those fictitious lives have lasted for years, leaving a mark when their stories come to an end. We have also painted miniatures for many years, and for about 5 years ago, came back to the wonderful hobby again, started to get courses and learning from the masters, and slowly digging deeply and deeply into the world of miniature art.

We wanted to indulge ourselves with a tribute to some of those special characters, whose lives we have somehow lived. We got some of the illustration commissions from our archives, contacted our first sculptor, and things started to run.

After the first 3D sculpts saw the light, some people contacted the sculptors asking where they buy get these models.

That left us thinking… hey, people were interested in our models. Should we share them with the world? Or keep them for ourselves? How wonderful could it be, to see what other painters could do with them?

And whoopty, the idea emerged. We could do our own brand! But there would be a lot of investing, and it would take a lot of time, and energy, research and learning, logistic… we don’t have that much time, nor the money, or the knowledge..

There were a lot of contras and only one big pro: it was exciting.

So that is how Stella Argentis was born: as most of the things that are worth it in life. Out of excitement, illusion and love.

 

So please accompany us in this trip. Not only by buying (though that would be awesome!), but sharing with us your art and impressions, your ideas, your project. All of our models represent characters that are by no means “an elf with a sword”, or “an orc in combat pose”, but people who have lived (and sometimes died), loved, and suffered. They have being into adventures, they have gained and lost friends, lovers and foes. They have evolved. Now it is up to you do make them greater and evolve once more, turning them into something new. Please add your imagination to ours, and together we will be enjoying this amazing hobby.

Jose & Silvia.
