The maker had a very detailed ToS with information on fursuit commissions that was easy to follow. Maker CommunicationCommunication was superb with frequent updates. The maker is incredibly kind and polite, and responds very quickly. Project Completion TimeI had no expectations for any deadlines, but the suit was completed a lot faster than I expected. Overall Project QualityI am incredibly satisfied with my first fursuit partial and was very well worth the price. Components Head Wear SatisfactionThe fursuit head fit very well and comfortable, I never have to adjust it. The head is also lined perfectly so it is very easy to clean inside. Ventilation is definitely not a problem and the vision is just like normal but without the standard peripheral vision for fursuit heads. Visual SatisfactionIt matches the concept art very well and the fur transitions between shaved and fluffy is great. Hands Wear SatisfactionThe hands fit nicely and can hold/grip most things easily. No issues with the quality yet and the paws still remain soft and fluffy. The inside of the paws are also lined which is great to absorb sweat and easy to clean. Visual SatisfactionThe paw pads are very well done and symmetrical. The fur marking is also perfect especially with 3 colors and stripes. Tail Wear SatisfactionThe tail is very durable and great quality. I first had concerns if the belt loops and seams would hold up considering how big and heavy the fluffy tail is, but it's still in great condition. Visual SatisfactionThe tail design and stripes are great. The fur is perfectly shaven while maintaining its fluffiness and softness, can even be used as pillow. Feet Wear SatisfactionThe feet are awesome stompers that do not hinder movement much and have no problems staying on my feet. The interior is also lined with foam on the bottom so it is comfortable to wear with just socks. Visual SatisfactionThe matches the character design perfectly and the shaving/length of the fur is perfect. The paw pads under is sturdy foam that is easy to clean.
