Hehe... You seem to have a lot of trouble seeing many species as having negative qualities, Constance. I can easily see them, particularly as I've had a fair amount of experience with them. A vulpine such as myself is a particularly easy example. Foxes, despite their grace, beauty, and playfulness are still predators. Indeed, foxes are notorious as thieves, tricksters, and cunning predators. I can easily see a more thuggish fox as well as a charming con-man. Not to mention that foxes are a fairly solitary species, so most fox characters seem fairly distant to others.

Well, yes, I do tend to think of many species in a positive way. Perhaps it's because of my interest being centered on PBB and other erotic artwork, so I suppose I don't see many of the negative personality traits. I do agree on your example of a fox being a charming con-man, though. I can picture that as well.

Well, dogs (and wolves, by association) are usually portrayed as being rather loyal, which usually comes in two varieties (with minor changes in some cases): the "White Knight" who is both loyal and honorable, sometimes to a fault, and, well the other one doesn't really have a name, but it's basically big, dumb, and loyal.

Hmm, I'm not sure if I've seen examples of wolves being big and dumb. The stereotype I mostly come across is the silent loner type, who is fiercely loyal to those he cares about.
Wolves and dogs are very diverse as well. I think it's because they can be considered somewhat dangerous animals, well some dogs can, so I can better picture them in roles that would require such characters, more so than foxes. I do think, though, that wolves suffer from the same problem as foxes, in that I don't really see them as being visually diverse. They generally seem to just be shades of black, grey or white, and I don't really think they'll look good with other bodytypes than the usual lean and atheletic, though a more mucular build could also be okay.
Dogs on the other hand, can look a lot more different, depending on the specific race, so in this area they are similar to the felines IMO.
I think it's a shame we don't see many female wolves, but I suppose they just aren't as popular as vixens. |

I'm very much for Felines and Vulpines like your typical furry fan. Though I do enjoy seeing the occasional exotic species.
Though, the real thing that gets me is unusual colorings. Like Jessica (Toonaxe) who is a "reverse" color pattern than the typical skunk. That's why she and Violet are two of my favorite skunks. *Tosses a wink and a blown kiss to the two.* |

Violet is a raccoon, not a skunk. 
They are both mustelids, though. 
Mustelids generally tend to be very nice and cute too, I think. At least the smaller ones or the cute species. They can be great for a more rough looking character too, as we can see in two of our male Royal members. |

*coughs*
Um, if you're gonna be doing corrections, raccoons aren't really mustelids... They are procyonids. They're a relatively unique family of mammals, of which the common raccoon is by far the most prominent member, all of them coming from the Americas, I think. |

Equines female, strong, maternal types, protective with fierce tempers.
Stallions, masculine, loners with a tendency to be dominant and protective of his mates, strong and very tough.
Donkeys, hardworking, stubborn and ill tempered if pushed to far. Stubborn to a fault a donkey will literally work themselves into the grave. |

heh, I just have to toss these two in as far as animal stereotypes:
Wolverine: Extremely short-tempered and violent.
Badger: Jeckyll and Hyde syndrome. Normally rather shy and timid, but capable of the same explosive violence as wolverines when pushed too far. |

I know dear, I was just stating because of their coloring they are some of my favorites. Only Jessica is a skunk. 
A nice variety of species is great, though I remember you bringing up races tied to species, and the thought of where each species originates has me thinking why we may see a majority of a few particular species than others. We're in central Europe, so what would be the more common species found in Bon Bon?

This is actually an interesting point that I had completely missed. I think that if we'd stay true to this being in central Europe, we might see a majority of foxes, dogs, cats, horses, pigs, bovines and various rodents. Something like that.
I think that the most notably absent species are bovines and pigs, as they seem to not be particularly popular as fursonas. Pigs I'm assuming has a lot to do with how they may not be viewed as particularly attractive. It could be how their faces migth look in anthro versions, or the kind of bodytype one might think of for a pig, or simply the things that people normally associate with pigs.
As for bovines I'd personally like to see more. Both males and females. I'd like to see more bulss, as I've mentioned before. How they are typically very big and muscular can make for some interesting scenes with contrasting characters.
I also like the cows. I tend to think of them as large, soft and gentle women, so they too can look very different from the majority of fursonas and characters. |

my view? i dont have any preference although I once was a fox, I become a fox the first time i in a fandom and blue, partially inspired by Krystal from star fox, luckily i am not such a fan anymore

Since you have changed your fursona, I'd like to know which things you associate with foxes and which you associate with tigers. I'm thinking such things as which bodytypes you picture them having, or whether they have different personalities because of their species. Any specific things you think of first when thinking of how an anthro fox or tiger looks and behaves? |
