You are correct on my usage of "trite". My posts are normally a product of sleep deprivation.
Unfortunately, this childlike attitude extends far beyond this particular section. I wonder how the Devs actually see anything of value in the typhoon of "LOL RANDOM LOOK AT ME!" posts. It is trash. It is nothing of value and it wastes bandwidth.
Does this sort of attitude fly outside of high school? Only at Hot Topic, right next to the Invader Zim merchandise. I though CoH attracted much older and mature players and in many respects I think it did. However, now a lot of younger players (either physically and/or mentally) are entering the arena and dragging down a forum that was once a pinnacle of useful information and intelligent discussion.
Lightheartedness is not the same as making a post to merely draw attention to yourself.
*Done.*

Yes, there are some real idiots on the forums. There always have been.
Just the same, posting like this merely makes you out to be an arrogant full-of-yourself [censored]. If these were your private boards, you might have a point, after all we'd be using up your bandwidth and your effort.
However, nothing requires you to be here at all - if the atmosphere has changed to the point you are no longer happy - then go. This isn't me saying "OMG GTFO U SUCK" - but its the simple truth, posts like this don't CHANGE anything, all they do is annoy people; so instead of causing their to be less silliness that you obviously dislike, you're just going to lead to people ridiculing you or ignoring these comments.
So you have to either decide to put up with something you don't like and stick around - or decide not to put up with it and leave. No one is going to change to suit your preferences, so you have to either adjust your preferences or go where they are catered to.

Funny, the only person fluffing the post is you, with the complaining (well, OK, the responses... but that would mean it was more of a trolling than a fluffing.)
What would you rather have, fan art as Serious Business? (ha ha only serious)
"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."
I am serious!!!!!!
Funny how I get accused of post padding yet people like Rowr go unnoticed. Double standards and favoritism are fun, huh?

Actually I get unnoticed a lot. :P And I was merely making fun of your original post in this thread about going omg lasers! pewpewpew so I posted that 
See the art forum has always been really free of drama and arguments that are usually on the other boards, just trying to keep it that way.
Yeah, I'd be surprised if anyone took any major offense toanything here.
Most posts are encouraging and light hearted.

That's because Rowr is nice to people and doesn't just spout off on people.

Color me jaded but when a message board is filled with this 14 year-old attention starved trite, it makes me remember why I normally stick to the Dev Digest and stay far away to most other parts of this forum.

Okay, pal, there are a lot less mature adults out there than some kids... Now I know that you probably know that, but could we please not stick to stereotypes?

AAANYWAY
There was a TWOFOLD reason as to why I did this.
I could have always just emailed Juggy ya know, instead of PM'd him, or sent him a note through DA.
I was also dropping a hint to the community.

There isn't one yet. It was Dirtwolf's sculpture, and it's in my scraps.

Ah k, the mil works at a floral shop, and she wuvs me! ... though the wifey (a longtime sculptor) said she's gonna teach me how to make my own from low grade copper wire and a soldering kit.
Or you can go to Reaper Miniatures (blatant plug from a rampant Reaper Fangirl) and buy their beginning or advanced dollies.
You can also pick up the green and brownstuff there. I know at the physical Asylum store they have some miniature sculpting kits, but I haven't looked to see if they sell them on the online store.
Sandra is a sweetheart. Last ReaperCon she resculpted the hand on a partially painted mini I had of hers that I didn't realize had a poorly cast hand. She loves to sit and chat at any con she's at. She'll also talk your ear off!
At the Reaper Forums is an area just for sculpting as well if you want to pick up more ideas on how to work with the 28-54mm scale. There are other lists where they can point you to as well. I think there's a Yahoo club or something or other where Sandra, Julie, Bob Ridolphi, Jason Wiebe, and others post.

Dollies?
Armatures >.> I dunno why Reaper calls them "dollies" myself, but I'm new to the miniature sculpting thing <,< so it may just be a term I haven't learned. In the end though, its just an armature.

Polymer clay is fun to work with..

You know what I've been loving working with lately?
Kneadatite. Its awesome <@.@> it has a VERY fast cure time though, so you've got to keep it moist and work fast; but for small models its soooooooo much fun! I need to get more armatures to work from though >.<

Are you using the green, brown, or yellow stuff (the yellow is new, ProCreate I think). This is the stuff the ultra-professional miniature modelers like Sandra Garrity and Julie Guthrie use (internet search will turn up their models - amazing sculptresses and they've been in the business for over 25 years).
If you use a hot lamp while working with the greenstuff it's going to set faster. Try using a low-heat producing fluorescent if you don't want it setting too fast. You can also use vaseline or Jason Wiebe's choice, Vicks Mentholatum, to keep things smooth.
