Hello everyone and welcome to a very different episode of Rogue Hobbies—because this time I’ve gone fully virtual, and it is very, very strange. I grabbed a Meta Quest headset, jumped into Demeo (Demio? honestly, who knows), and instead of bopping skeletons on the head I headed straight to the Heroes Hangout painting room to see if I could paint the world’s best miniature entirely in VR. Spoiler: it felt weird. Like, "my hands are disjointed and I have no crotch" weird. But also… kind of magical. I mess about with the tools first—palette, brushes, airbrush, thinner, the whole lot—then pick a little goblin dude and paint him like I’d paint any goblin in real life: basecoats, face focus, highlights, hair strokes, and some extremely questionable attempts to rest my hand on a table that isn’t actually there. I even get brave and try non-metallic gold (and it’s annoyingly not terrible), then push it further with a little gem effect. To finish, I slap on some basic highlights, paint his “little dungies,” and add paint splatters so he looks like a tiny painter goblin, which is frankly too cute. It’s hobby chaos, but I’m weirdly proud of him—and I want to know if you lot want more VR painting experiments.
