Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactIt was extremely easily, I filled out the form on his website and it went from there. Maker CommunicationThe communication was on point. From needing measurements to when the final piece was sewn together he kept me in the loop through both email comms and telegram, he also has a telegram channel so you can keep up to date with his projects. He was an absolute dream to work with. Project Completion TimeExtremely satisfied. Overall Project QualityI am beyond satisfied with every aspect of my suit. He is easy to put on, feels comfortable and the air flow is as good as you can get without installing or wearing some form of cooling gear. Very easy to wash and maintain, brushing the suit is nice and smooth. I feel the price was more than fair for the quality of suit that I got in return. He looks exactly how I imagined him to be comparing him to my other suit that was made by a completely different maker. I can say that if I look after him the way I have my previous suit he will last a very long time and given my IRL age I will not need another suit in the future. He looks absolutely stunning when worn. Components Head Wear SatisfactionPerfectly made to measure for my head very comfortable to wear with excellent vision and good airflow. Visual SatisfactionHe looks exactly how I imagined him to look, I'm extremely satisfied. The shaving on the head is perfect, the transition from the different lengths of fur on the head is flawless. The fur is soft to the touch and looks top quality, the markings do not rib off or bleed into each other, it can easily be brushed. The follow me eyes do exactly that. One-Piece Body Wear SatisfactionThe body suit fits me exactly how I wanted it to, the seams and craftsmanship is excellent. It's very durable as I go get picked up a lot as I am only a smol doggo. The interior is clear no signs of a hidden botch job, it's breathable as much as it can be it is a fursuit after all. Very easy to clean just wash it in the washing machine on a delicate cold cycle. Visual SatisfactionNo issues with the overall look of the body suit, he has no real markings to speak of so no problems with that. Again the fur is top quality and shaved perfectly to how I expected it. The body suit matches the reference sheet. Hands Wear SatisfactionVery comfortable to wear, made to fit my hands exactly how I wanted, they slip on and off easily. Durable and very good quality. Visual SatisfactionThey look exactly like paws with the added claws which is always a lovely little touch. The fur is again top quality shaved and sawn together brilliantly. The paw pads are soft to the touch and durable. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is the right size for my height, it doesn't drag on the floor when I'm wearing it. The tail has belt loops and also zips onto the back of the fursuit for that extra durability or if the belt starts to come loose as I wear the suit for long periods of time. Visual SatisfactionThe tail looks how a tail is meant to look, there is a smooth transition on the end of the tail tip as it is a different colour to the rest of the tail. The fur is nice and soft to touch and brushes out very easily. Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet paws fit perfectly, I did have a small issue of the seams splitting inside the foot paw however upon speaking with the maker this issue has been resolved. The fur quality is flawless like the rest of the suit. The feet paws zip onto the lower part of the suit so there won't be any issues of the feet paws slipping off unexpected. These are outdoor feet paws so the material on the bottom of the paws are very durable for the out doors and I haven't yet had any issues slipping over in wet conditions. The airflow is as good as it can be with feet paws, my feet naturally sweat anyway so nothing can be done about that. Visual SatisfactionThe visuality of the paws attached to the body suit is flawless, from the side you can really see the excellent craftmanship and the detail gone into making the paws and the rest of the suit.
