Initial contact was via telegram after the quote was finalized into a commission order. The maker was very open and honest in communication and provided easy understandable information when needed every major step was communicated and impediments were communicated openly. Communication was also done via several detailed phone calls that helped me understand information. The communication was professional but also very warm and welcoming. Project Completion TimeThe project took about 1 month to complete after I was in the queue. I am very satisfied with the completion time and updates were posted regular in dms and project telegram channels. Overall Project QualityI am very happy with the quality all the parts and also with the project itself. The quality is exceptional and every professional. Inspecting the pieces reveal that professional tools have been used. Head, Hands, Feet and Tail are aesthetically pleasing, consistent and coherent with my design idea. The project is exactly as I imagined. Everything fits me and has a unified look. My perception as that the suit is very durable and will last long, especially the outdoor feet and head are exceptional in this category. The items are very easy to wear and putting on and off process takes some training but are easy to do solo. The maker exceeded my expectations gathered from previous projects in every way. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe head is easy to wear and allows to be worn for long periods of time. The fit can be adjusted due to the 3D printed head. For keeping the head in place foam on temples and a strip on the back head kept the fit tight and adjustable. The cleaning is fairly easy as there are not a lot of contact points with the suite itself. The quality from the inside is very pleasing and clean, there is nothing inside the head that annoys while wearing it. The overall quality is exceptional and makes the impression that the head has a high longevity Ventilation is very good. The moving jaw allows for more air intake and the room inside of the head help to keep the air clean and breathable. Vision is good, there is a small blind-spot right in the middle for about 10cm, but everything is clear and visible. The vision give enough confidence for walking in tight hallways and open fields. Visual SatisfactionI can not say how satisfied I am with the looks. The head is spotless and very symmetrical, every marking is where it should be and the colours are very accurate and fit very good. My design idea was brought into life. I am very proud of the metallic looking markings that pop out really good. The leather used was picked after a lot of material tests from the maker and fit the character 100%. The shaving is even and the fur feels very soft and smooth. The transitions are very clean, even with the material change between fur and leather. The fur can be brushed easily, over the different lengths of fur on the head. With the magnetic eyelids with 2 positions, moving jaw,, follow-me eyes adjustable and swappable tongues a lot of expressions can be done, and experimenting is a lot of fun. Various expressions include tired, angry and happy. The concept of the design was matched, even though I decided against longer hair in the back, because multiple reasons (Character itself and offered solutions) I am very happy I decided on the current look. Hands Wear SatisfactionThe hands are very comfortable to wear. Because there are innerly lined with a internal glove fitted to my hand size, it was at first hard to get in, but this changed with gathered experience and continued use. The style was inside my requirements. I wanted a hand where I still have a lot of control and this is what has been delivered. The hands stay on and offer the needed precision. Both hands can be put on individually by myself. The durability is very good and I fell comfortable using my hands for every possible task. Pawpads and claws feel very soft and can be felt on the inside as well. The lining can easily be cleaned and absorb sweat properly. Visual SatisfactionVisually the Hands are very pleasing. The claws and paw pads are correctly and symmetrically placed. The shaving is even. The transition between the inner hand glove and the outer glove can be tugged away easy and not appear if tugged away. The fur is very soft and brushed and smoothed easily. The paw pads and the claws are are made of fabric, to my requirement. They feel good and do not hurt others, and have no wear on them. The seem between pads and fur is not noticeable. The overall quality is exceptional and I am very satisfied with the look. The concept was hit 100%, to my requirements. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is comfortable to wear for long time and allows for good movement and minimal restrictions. It is easy to put on and handle while walking, sitting and laying. The tail is very durable and is connected via two straps with a belt. The seems are strong and the tail can be pulled without tearing apart. Straps are secure and evenly placed. The padding feels soft and consistent over the whole tail. The pose is strong and allows for some movement, wagging feels good and natural. Visual SatisfactionVisually the tail is symmetrical and even, the shave is good and the length of the fur is perfect. The transition between furs is very good and even, no seems are visible nor feelable, besides the seem under the tail, there is a small feelable seem. The fur is very good looking and can be brushed easily as well. Overall feel is very soft and hugging the big tail is one of my favorite photo activities. Overall look is perfect as well, the shape the pattern and the colours match my design and species very well. Wagging and pulling works as excepted. Feet Wear SatisfactionFor my commission I ordered 2 separate feet, One for inside with paw pads and one for outside with a durable custom sole. I will start with Indoors. The indoor feet are very comfortable to wear and offer good movement. They stay on during running walking and stretching and can be put on very easy. The shoe is very durable and shows the smallest of wear after convention and personal use nothing out of the ordinary. They are very comfortable and I wear them sometimes in my flat when my feat are cold. outside of fursuiting. The shoe is constructed out of fleece, this gives at the comfort and the durability for long use. the fleece is lined and fells really soft. The outside shoe has a very good fit and allows for running walking and some stretching. The feet is tightly secured inside a store bought shoe that fitted my feet, it was required for the process. The shoe feels comfortable, the maneuverability is a bit impaired but it still feels like wearing a normal shoe. The outside shoe is an absolute unit and I can comfortably say it is made to last. The custom made sole is thick and durable and will last many many years. The shoe is built on hard foam with a shoe inside and a sole on the bottom. The putting on process requires a bit of training but ensures stability even with extreme activities. From my side the quality of this feet is exceptional. Visual SatisfactionBoth feet look very similar and match the character design, the claws and paw pads are applied correctly. The overall look is exactly to my requirements. The fur matches with the hands and blends very well into the overall suit. The shave is even and handling the fur is easy as well. Everything looks and feels exceptional, both shoes are durable and allow every movement without breaking the design. Special FeaturesMetallic looking leather stripes on the head. The head features a unique leather pattern separating the fur. It should look like the head is supported with metal. The maker found this solution with material studies of different leathers and fur lengths so the stripe is visible and not blocked by fur, for my requirement and they blend in really good. When lighted correctly they reflect and give a metallic look.
