Welcome to an exclusive interview feature at RedGrassGames, where our core belief is that miniature painting is an art form accessible to everyone!
Our mission is to foster a community that embraces both professional artists and enthusiastic hobbyists in this vibrant and detailed craft. Today, we are thrilled to present a conversation with a remarkable talent in the world of miniature painting – Firebrush Studio. Join us as we delve into their artistic journey, exploring the intricacies and inspirations behind their stunning creations.
My name is Carlos Tobes I am 36 years old, I am a graphic designer and illustrator, but I work professionally in audiovisual production and motion graphics and in my spare time I paint miniatures.
I started at approximately 12 years old and for 6 years I continued painting until I was 18 years old, there I totally left it for 17 years until I was 35 years old, and I started again.
I started playing and painting miniatures between the fourth and fifth edition of warhammer around 1995/1996 with four friends, as you can imagine, the quality of the painting was really bad. After about 6 years collecting, playing and painting, at 18 we gave up the hobby and I have returned to it after 17 years without picking up a brush, I have returned to painting a little more than a year ago.
I find inspiration by looking for references that do not have to be miniatures, they can be movies illustrations … of my own imagination and of other painters.
All the miniatures that have been part of this year and a few months of repainting are part of a learning process and each one is important in its own way. I don’t have one that I’m particularly proud of, but I can highlight “AILEEN” from Nocturnal (see below).
I have only been painting for a year, and I have not had time to present myself to competitions, my city is small and there are no local competitions, so it forces me to travel if I want to participate in any, at the moment it is not my priority, at this moment I am only interested in enjoying each miniature.
Made with love. Copyright © 2024 Redgrass – All rights reserved.
