In the world of fursuiting, I'm something of a big fish in a little pond. There are probably not more than a hundred people in the world who seriously make fursuits. (And by "seriously" I mean have made more than one, will continue to make more regularly, and have some real skill at doing so.) There are hundreds and hundreds of dabblers, but given then many thousands of furries out there, the number of fursuit makers really is quite small. And I'm creeping steadily up towards the top. I'll never upset Lance Ikegawa's place, he works too differently for me to even try, but someday I might be on par with LatinVixen or Scribblefox. I think I've finally hit near parity with most others out there.
I like that feeling. As awful of me as it is, I like it when I look at people's fursuiting work and I know I could do a million times better.
I think part of the reason I'm just not as enthused about art is that I'm near the bottom of the heap there, as far as people who are more than dabblers go, and honestly lack the skill to rise. And it's sometimes depressing, when I put forth my best efforts, and see other effortlessly pass them by.
Guess I'll stick to fursuit making.
