I'm not looking for any ego-stroking here. I'm genuinely curious.

I'm just wondering, when you think of otter fursuits, who comes to mind first?

Who's your favorite otter fursuit?

How often do you see my suit mentioned, or see it on Youtube, or elsewhere?

How would you say my suit compares to the best otter suits out there?

Don't suck up to me and don't say me just to be nice. When my suit was built, I considered  mozee to be the most adorable otter fursuit out there (that I'd seen). I'm pretty picky about how otters are built in suits, and it was one of the very few at the time that actually did them justice. So my goal was to be just as cute as him! I think over time as my suit has evolved it's reached that goal, and that I've done a moderately good job of playing the part.

Now, thanks to videos posted by  kijanilion of the many, many public fursuit outings I've been a part of, I've had a number of people - complete strangers - tell me, when they see me in person, that they've admired my suit for a long time. Once, I saw a fursuit that I thought was really beautiful, and I went to go chat with him, and the suit I was myself admiring immediately told me he'd admired ME on youtube. It was a pretty bizarre and cool feeling!

And more recently, the owner of one of my favorite otter suits in the world, personally told me I'm his favorite. If I hadn't been in suit he would've seen me blushing.

Redclaw v1.75 is nearing its convention retirement. I still plan to wear him to outdoor public events, and maybe he'll make an occassional appearance at conventions (probably worn by others), but it'll soon be replaced by a whole new suit that matches my actual fursona much better. The suit had a wonderful run, and I'll treasure it forever. Now I just want to know how much of an impression he made on everyone else!
