Features: None Concept Art Photos of Completed Product Overall Initial ContactVery easy Maker CommunicationAs mentioned before, it was a great experience. Communication went fast and transparent. Project Completion TimeIt went exactly as planned, which made it even better for Daemon his debut on Facts '24 Overall Project QualityIt's my first ever fursuit, I love how communications with the maker went. Every question I aksed got answered within reasonable time. Daemon turned out to be one of a kind, and exceeded my expectations, I love everything about him. And I want to thank his maker for all the effort that has been put in this fursuit. Components Head Wear SatisfactionMy head is made with a 3D printed base, the maker made straps on the base so it adjusts perfectly to my head. The inner padding is made with a soft material that fits around my head for a soft and comfy wearing experience. For ventilation: the base is perforated, and has a fan installed. This helps alot with the heat it generates from wearing. At first my vision wasn't as I expected, as an inexperienced fursuiter I blame myself. My maker suggested some modifications that made it alot better to see. For that i'm very gratefull for his input and know how. Visual SatisfactionI love how Daemon looks! He looks like a lion, has beautiful manes, and on top of all that a scruffy goaty (artistic freedom of my maker) which I also have irl. His expression is exactly how I expected him to be. A confident lion with a friendly smile/grin. The shaving was done as I asked, the materials used feels so soft and easy to brush. As for symmetry it's done perfectly. Upper Body Wear SatisfactionThe upper body feels like wearing a sweater, it fits so well. I do wear a special shirt for not sweating on the interior. It's made with the same quality and sophisticated know how of using materials. Visual SatisfactionIt's so fluffy, I love how the fur on my body is longer. It makes Daemon a bit more tooney but thats what I love about him. Hands Wear SatisfactionThe hands fits like a glove. No comment here, it's easy to put on and to take off. Same quality as for my body and head. It has paw pads that represents the same figure as felines. The claws are soft which makes it safe for being a playful fursuiter like myself. Visual SatisfactionI love it, equally fluffy as my body. Tail Wear SatisfactionIt fits like a belt around my waist and trough a gap in my upper body. It blends and wags when I walk or turn. Visual SatisfactionIt's a lovely tail, as mentioned above it wags when I walk and the maker respected my whiches to make it more natural to a real lion. Feet Wear SatisfactionSadly enough I tried them on several times inside the house. Since I didn't invest in outdoor sandals (on my to buy list ^^) But they are comfy I must admit thats it's a bit of a search to find out how to fit my feet inside, but when the padding moves around a bit it fits perfectly. Visual Satisfactionsame as paws, upper body. It's fluffy :p I love the shape and how big the feet are. RatingFursuitReview rates by asking the question: Would you recommend this maker?
