Features: Wings Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactExceptionally easy when contacting over instagram!! That seems to be her most active social, but I know she also posts alot on tiktok, and sometimes on bluesky!! Maker CommunicationResponses were mostly if not always same day, maybe within the first hour or so of sending a message!! Super polite and always a pleasure to talk to about a commission. Project Completion TimeExtremely satisfied, my suit was finished faster than I assumed he would be!! Overall Project QualitySea Salt has been the best fursuit I've had the pleasure of owning so far, and I would highly recommend others to commission Cricket (and I never stop gushing about her to my friends)!! For the price I paid, the speed in which he was completed, and the accuracy of his design to costume, he exceeded my expectations by a significant amount. I've commissioned Cricket in the past, as far back as 2019 with my first fursuit head (who now belongs to a close friend). I've seen her quality improve over the years, from foam bases to custom 3d prints, from canines to angel dragons, pre-mades and commissions!! She's easy to contact on instagram, very polite and quick with updates and responses to any questions. I've never had any issue talking to her or coming to her about quotes for potential projects. If anything, my only regrets are not commissioning her SOONER!! I actively plan to return to her for additional parts for Sea Salt (legs/feet) and even for a special commission request for me and my partner (who have paired sonas we want made by the same maker [her]). I will always promote her work and never recommend her enough!! I'm her biggest fan!! Sea Salt is stellar quality and I've never enjoyed wearing a suit more than I've enjoyed wearing him. If I could, I'd take him to every event I ever go to just to dance around as a big blue gull!! He's adorable and goofy and everything I ever wanted to emulate in his character. I took him to Lone Star Fur Con this past February for his first convention debut, and had a blast!! He's coming to Texas Furry Fiesta with me this year and I can hardly wait for the chance to wear him again!! Components Head Wear SatisfactionHead is extremely comfortable to wear and fits like a glove!! The base was a custom 3d print, and is very lightweight as a result. Just enough space inside for my glasses. Lined on the inside, the only minor inconvenience is you can feel some of the hardness of the 3d print through the lining, but if you wear a balaclava with it, you can't feel it at all. Fur is super soft and high quality!! With his large eyes, Sea Salt has great vision, especially in well lit rooms. Like any fursuit, he has his blind spots, but ultimately it's not nearly as bad as previous, older suits I've owned before. Can wear glasses inside the head, which is a massive plus for vision. Breathability is excellent, I have no trouble at all breathing with his head on. Overall a 100/10. Visual SatisfactionColors matched to an absolute T, I couldn't have asked for a better match. Symmetrical as can be when he has no distinctive markings!! Turned out exactly like I envisioned when I saw his base for the first time. Overall 1000/10. Hands Wear SatisfactionHis hands are really big arm wings!! They didn't arrive at the same time as the head, but that's because it was a later addition to the commission!! Plus there were some technical issues with ordering the fur (Not in stock at the time we were planning it, lots of samples from alternative providers, etc). But aside from all that, the wings are great!! Super easy to put on, with adjustable straps for a comfortable fit. Unlined on the inside, but that doesn't personally bother me!! Hand escapes are awesome when I wanna take a quick selfie, take a picture of others, or when I need to get socials from someone!! And the escapes are hidden so well, you hardly notice them. Overall 10/10!! Visual SatisfactionLooks exactly like the concept reference me and Cricket discussed!! Cricket had never made arm wings before, so made a smaller version as an experiment to test a pattern before making the real thing. Turned out as close to our vision as is humanly possible!! Fur and Minky were color matched to the head and are soft and high quality!! Very flappable, very bird, much wing!! Can be worn with any shirt that has an armhole big enough to fit them through!! Overall 10/10!! Love wearing them!! Tail Wear SatisfactionJust a simple nub tail!! Easy double loop to fit on a standard belt. Absolutely adorable!! Overall 10/10!! Visual SatisfactionWhite, soft fur, plush nub tail!! Adorable and precise to the vision!! Cricket understood the assignment and hit the bullseye!! Overall 10/10!!
