On fursuits

I haven't been in the furry fandom terribly long (6 years), but I remember when fursuits used to look something like this at times: http://www.furryforest.com/fursuit/.....03tunicfox.jpg
I liked these fursuits! They were fun, charming and had a lot of character. But now having a head that big on a fursuit is unappealing or uncool. So now you have to have a fursuit that looks like this to have your suit not look "cheap." http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l.....jr39o1_500.jpg
I miss old fursuits. A lot of new fursuits look really mass-produced. I like the semi-mascot semi-fursuit look that used to be common way back when.

I made my heads based on the toony style. *thumbs up*
I find it fun! ^_^
Yeah, i don't know, i like toonier suits a lot but I definitely like new suits better than the older ones. They are way better made, the proportions are better, the expressions are better. The old ones were creepy. There's a lot of the same suit unfortunately, because people get suits from the same people over and over and pick the same animals and colors. But! It's what you do in the suit anyway that sets you apart.
I think you're right about getting the same suit from the same person. Way back when most people had to make their own suits because there wasn't anyone to make them outside of mascot companies. With everyone making their own there was much more variety in appearance. But when you pay the same person to make a dog/cat/fox/whatever over and over and over they're only going to be able to interpret that animal so many ways.
