What ever happened to...

[raginggaijin]

...Tammy Haye?

I come back after a 2-3 year hiatus and there are a lot of faces missing.

Where did everyone go? ???

AND WHO LET ALL THESE NOOBS IN?!? :cussing:

 

[AinuLainour]

What\'s the point of off-setting a perfectly fine question with that last part?

But I can\'t say where Tammy Haye is, I didn\'t know that she even had a CoolMini account!

 

[JakeSh]

There have been a lot of noobs lately. I don\'t mind new people here, but some of them have been some real tools.

Case in point - the 6 page thread on why NMM sucks in the \"Discuss\" forum.

Happens in a cycle. People have to learn and NMM is not only flashy, but one of the more advanced techniques to learn. There are some who refuse to paint it because of many reasons. But that doesn\'t mean it\'s an invalid technique.

you serious?!! she was minigrrrl and thaye or something like that

 

[darthfoley]

Last I remember she was working as a trash collector or some such, after giving up on painting as her sole source of income.

Been a while though, so I may not remember exactly right.

I dont think you can knock any technique just cause you think it sucks.

If you dont have anything nice to say, shut up and and go jump off a large bridge.

But that also shows what tools the regulars can be, given that there are 148 posts there at the moment. Let it lie!

People don\'t like NMM?!?!?

Or diaf.

NMM is a good technique, just a difficult one to master. I used to HATE painting in NMM until I started to understand the principles. Now there\'s times where I want to paint NMM over Metallics and vice versa. But I digress.

Sad to hear about Tammy. Jeff Wilhelm sent me a message catching me up on a lot of the mini-painters from our era. Seems many have faded to obscurity or quit. I\'m happy to see Anne Forester made it to the Big Time with Reaper and is their main painter; chica gots skillz. There\'s some new blood who are coming around though, and I\'ve been checking out Alexi Z\'s gear. (Not her body, pervs, the miniatures. She\'s too homely for my tastes.) Plus there\'s quite a few doodz who have stepped up to the plate. Nice to get some new inspiration.

Still, I\'m gone for a bit and peeps leave. /crai
I\'ll be okay. Just give me a moment. /sniff

Can I get a hug?

Thanks for the updates, everyone who PM\'d me! /dap

I lol\'d, Optimus.

Get thicker skin or you won\'t do well in the mini-painting world; everyone is a critic, and they tend to think everything sucks. If the term carebear makes you want to cry in your milk, you\'ll be disappointed quite a bit in life.

\'Sides, who said there\'s anything wrong with being a carebear? Rub their tummies and rainbows shoot out. How can that suck?

Want a hug?

 

[supervike]

The last I had heard from Tammy was that she was trying her hand at sculpting as well. They things she had done were pretty good.

I know she had gone through a rough patch, and I remember reading in her blog of some of her troubles.

Hopefully, that is all past her, and she\'ll come back to the fold here someday!!

Welcome back, CJ Cummings. Have a cardinal tetra.

Tools rules!

if this is what expert painters are supposed to be like i\'d rather not know them. considering the fact most of the ones i know are actually quite nice. and your etiquette is quite rude. honestly.... why dont you get over putting down others and grow up.

Um... no.

\'Sides, you\'ll find that I only put down people I think are being foolish or rude to me. Other than that, I\'m affable and approachable. Since my \'return\' I\'ve had two fanboys try to \'correct\' my work, one person get upset over my slang terminology, and two people try to slam my style because it doesn\'t fit the CMON norm. I\'m not here to win popularity contests. If you want to be a douche to me, I\'ll be sure to treat you appropriately. And for the old timers who do know me, they\'ll be the first to tell you I am funny, knowledgable, and will give my shirt off of my back if I know it will help you out. I just don\'t suffer fools well at all. Plus I don\'t coddle kids.

The point still stands. If you can\'t take a little heat in comments, you won\'t go far as a mini-painter. We can be a callous bunch.

Here\'s a hug though. /hug

Laugh it off, smoke a bowl or drink a beer, and get back to painting. kkthx.

I got a fish!

The Cardinal Tetra is one of the most desired fish to have in a tank, mainly because of its awesome coloration.

Bill offically RAWKS my nuts off.

True story.
