Character Concept Art

Photos of Completed Product

Head

Wear Satisfaction

The head fits well, I can wear my glasses inside, a small 5V cooler allows me to breathe more easily, the jaw opens comfortably. The vision is decent, a palm-sized blind spot in the front and roughly 90 degrees view angle overall.



Visual Satisfaction

The tufts on the ears are slightly different, but it’s barely noticeable, and overall I am happy with how the head matches the design, even if the markings are not precisely .

Body

Wear Satisfaction

I am happy with how the body fits. After the first try the maker adjusted the body to fit me more tightly. All stripes are sewn in, so there is no concern when washed.



Visual Satisfaction

I like how the body looks like, both the front and the stripy back.

Hands and Feet

Wear Satisfaction

The feet were an indoor type, with sandals as a base. The foot fıts very tightly, I regret choosing sandals instead of slippers as a base because it is a bit harder to put them on as the result.

The hands fit a bit loose at the fingers, but still enough to grab things.



Visual Satisfaction

Despite hand and feet not being attachable to the body the fact the long fur and the fact that the body overlaps them means my skin (or the black underamour I wear) is never visible, and I love this. The claws of the handpaws are made from the polymer clay, and the feet claws are sewn from the short fur. I chose fleece fabric instead of silicone rubber for the paw pads, but regretted it a bit because while it is more flexible, it is wearing down faster than I expected.

Tails

Wear Satisfaction

The tails is held on a belt wrapped around my body, I can put it on through the hole easily enough and I’m not afraid of it being detached if somebody pulls it.



Visual Satisfaction

The curl and sewn-in stripes look nice, transition between the body and the tail looks smooth.

Overall


Product Satisfaction

How was your concept art realized?
I had several points in mind when thinking about this suit:
– It should be recognizable as a tabby cat
– It should look cute
– I should be able to open the jaw to be a bit more expressive
Completed suit met all these expectations and exceeded them in some regards, people were saying it looks good even when compared to a lot more expensive suits.

Even though due to the difference between the art style and suit style some stripes had to be omitted I am still satisfied with how it fits the planned design.

How well does everything fit together and match up?
The suit fits well together. I can dance, play and take all kinds of poses, nobody has reported any visible gaps to me.

Overall Project Quality
I’m glad I decided to order a suit from Furoar, I recommend this maker for everyone who wants a cute toony suit at an affordable price.



Purchase Process

Initial Contact
I contacted them via Telegram, and we were discussing the whole project there.

Maker Response Time
They were always responding quickly.

Maker Professionalism
They were respectful of my wishes and were clarifying every detail in the design and every possible variation, making sure it matches my expectations.

Project Completion Time
I wanted the suit to be ready by the 2019 EF, they warned me in advance they cannot guarantee it to be ready by that date, despite that the maker managed to complete everything but the feetpaws so I was suiting at EF using my feetpaws from the previous suit. One month later the suit was finally complete so I was able to suit at the comic con in October. Overall I think they did it quickly enough.
